★★★★★ 5.0 Ryck Birch · Apr 2025

Dryft is a cool vibe, sleekly elegant restaurant with a what we do we do very, very well attitude about its food, drinks, and service. The dining space is the whole restaurant with a bright ambient lighting. When it's full (often) there's a hubbub noise level that still allows for easy conversation. The drink options are great. Both mixed and wines. The menu is fresh, vaguely Italian, with superb attention to detail. The prices are very Wellesley but not exorbitant. Pictured are the chicken pesto fussilli and the steak frites. Impossible not to love. And a nice cold Bombay martini... This is a very popular place so reservations for a table are a must. We are bar folk and can usually find a seat or two. Enjoy.

First time here from a recommendation from my friend and I’m a raving fan. Staff are cheerful and welcoming. But Sydney is just a gem! So kind, through, attentive with a genuine smile. See you again soon.

★★★★★ 5.0 Arthur Glauberman · Jul 2025

Dryft Wellesley is a fabulous restaurant that we were fortunate to visit when we came to Natick to attend a friend’s birthday party. Having arrived the night before, we asked our friends for a recommendation for dinner and they encouraged us to try to get a reservation to Dryft! While there are many fantastic restaurants in our home town in NYC, we were overwhelmed by our poke, swordfish and delicious watermelon salad!

Great atmosphere. First time there so we were pleasantly impressed. We dined on a Tuesday evening. It was somewhat busy but not packed. It was surprising the wait staff was not more attentive to asking if we’d like another drink or simply refilling water. The food was fantastic! All enjoyed their meals. We look forward to returning.

What a fun and amazing place! The decor is delightful and the food scrumptious! Ricky (bartender) was attentive to everyone and was fabulous. Def will return and recommend. Get the tomatoes soup! Best I have ever had
