★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Hidalgo Dolan · Mar 2026

Once again Alex McDaniel and Lori Anne Calabria were sensational at the amazing Drifthouse. They are super talented musicians! The restaurant is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. This is probably the classiest restaurant we have ever been to. The Lounge is stunning! The Fireplace is gorgeous. The dried aged beef was exceptional. The Italian red wine was smooth and delicious. This will be a new favorite. We will have to return in the day to see the Ocean view. We drove the half hour there on a rainy foggy Thursday, but it was truly worth it. Fiona, our waitress, was so endearing! We loved her kindness and friendliness. All the staff who brought our dishes were wonderful. The escargot was so yummy we gobbled it up before I could take a photo. Jesse Stavola our host was attentive and delightful in explai

I was just at Drifthouse for their 1st Country party and it was AMAZING!! The food was phenomenal. They had so many food options during this buffet-style event. I posted a picture of the menu. The drinks were great too. The country band was fantastic. So many people got on the dance floor. Our service was very good considering how many people attended this event. I would definitely recommend this restaurant & will be back in the future. We had a blast!

Christmas done right! After a long day of running last minute holiday errands, decided to have dinner at Drifthouse this evening. Although I eat here fairly regularly during season, tonight was a first during the holidays. Such a warm, welcoming experience from the minute I entered. Was met by Hailey at the hostess station who also ended up being my server... professional, attentive, and infectious joy... truly adorable :). I ordered the burger, which did not disappoint. Tonight's guests were also treated to live music... dynamite duo playing a mix of holiday and soft rock tunes. Entire staff goes out of their way to make diners feel welcome. No Grinches here :) In addition to main dining room, "wine lounge" is a semi-hidden surprise complete with wood burning fireplace and cozy ove

⭐☆☆☆☆ I never write bad reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that it deserves to be shared. I had been to Drifthouse before under the previous ownership and always raved about it — so much so that I brought a guest here expecting an outstanding meal. What we got instead was one of the most underwhelming and overpriced dinners I’ve had in a long time. The lobster was the breaking point. For $50, I was served something that could barely pass as a meal — small, poorly prepared, and absolutely not worth the price. To call it a “lobster dinner” is misleading at best. When you’re paying that much, you expect quality, freshness, and portion size to reflect the price. This was the complete opposite as it's frozen vegetables and a 1.5lb overcooked lobster as shown in the picture The

I very happy I checked out this hidden gem. We went on a Saturday afternoon for happy hour. I had very enjoyable relaxing experience. Had drinks and apps at bar and everything was very good. Calamari truffle fries, brussels sprouts And Cosmo Martini! 10/10 . I found a new happy hour spot. I will return. The service was great. Atmosphere was also great Please check them out.
