Drift Seafood

A Coastal Gem: Drift Restaurant in Ventnor, NJ Nestled just steps from the shoreline, Drift Restaurant in Ventnor, New Jersey captures the essence of seaside dining with a perfect blend of coastal charm and upscale comfort. Whether you're coming in sandy-footed from the beach or dressed for a date night, Drift welcomes all with its cozy, beach-inspired atmosphere and a menu that celebrates the sea. The fried shrimp are a standout—lightly battered, crispy on the outside, and perfectly juicy inside. Pair them with the house-made dipping sauce, and you’ve got a plate worth coming back for. The calamari is another must-try: tender, golden, and served with just the right amount of seasoning and tangy accompaniments. Beyond the food, what sets Drift apart is the vibe. The ambiance is relaxed

Drift is an amazing new BYOB gem that we are so happy we got to experience!!! The Lobster Ravioli, Sesame crusted Seared Tuna, and Clams in Garlic sauce were absolutely delicious. The ambiance is perfect for an intimate date, but also very open and welcoming for coming as a family with children. The Seabass and NY Strip with Chimmicuri were 10/10 so fabulous. We finished our meal with Peanut Butter Pie and Strawberry cheesecake, we can’t wait to go back!

Okay, it's Saturday night and where do you want to go for dinner in Atlantic city? Sure you've got the Knife and Fork. Sure you've got all the chain style restauants at the casinos and you've got Dock's seafood house. My wife ordered the pan seared salmon and I ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos and a bowl of their clam chowder Manhattan style. Everything was cooked to perfection. The salmon had a delicious rendered sauce with asparagus. The fish tacos were very good. The clams in the Manhattan clam chowder were quite tender. Fresh & delicious left us both feeling satisfied. Call ahead for a reservation.

This is a hidden gem in AC!! Price is reasonable and our server is professional and genuine. Will definitely come back

Finally a new seafood boil spot opened up! The special sauce was delicious and seafood tasted fresh from the oysters to the snow crabs. I like that they use fresh sweet corn! We got hot but wasn’t spicy enough so we will try to take it to the next level. They’re also BYOB. There is a liquor/beer store at the corner. We will be back!
