    This was our first visit to Drift. It certainly won’t be our last. The Baby Heirloom Carrot Panzanella was amazing - and I don’t like carrots! The Swordfish Schnitzel was so good! Crunchy breading on the outside and moist tender swordfish on the inside -yum! Our waitress was top notch. She was personable and attentive. Excellent service. Parking was a pain but worth the effort and will not stop us from visiting Drift again. Hopefully very soon

    Savanna was a great server, professional, interested and knowledgeable. Great oysters, a very good Cosmo and the scallop credo is worth the visit.

    Overall, the restaurant works hard to please customers and service was really good. The food was ok, the drinks were excellent, and overall it was incredibly expensive for what it was. I liked the ambiance and it’s very comfortable.
