AMAZING cocktails!! Got three very different style drinks and all were fantastic. Food was great also! Escargot portion was very generous. “Fig and pig” flatbread was delicious, as well as the shrimp spring rolls. We were traveling from out of state and staying in town for the night, and I immediately put Drift on our itinerary when I was looking for dinner options. I was not disappointed, and would definitely love to come back if we visit here again! It was a quiet Sunday night when we came, but we had such a great time sitting at the bar conversing with the bartenders and the other patrons. Would love to come back for one of their live music nights!

My friend and I stopped in for a bite to eat and were immediately greeted by the young bartender named, Ryan who was also working the high top tables by the open windows. Every table has a view of the ocean. So beautiful. Ryan was super friendly and efficient. He took our drink orders right away and then made me a delicious expresso martini! My friend had a soda. I ordered the Haddock Bites and she ordered the salad with sliced chicken breast. Both meals were plentiful and yummy. We definitely will be back!!!

Good looking place. Nice view of the harbor. However, food was very disappointing for its price. Ordered the “buffalo chicken grilled cheese” which ended up being a fat, soggy chicken patty sandwiched between two slices of cheese and bread. Maybe we got unlucky and chose the worst thing on the menu, but for $18 a sandwich, I’d expect something much, much better. Service also wasn’t great; our waiter was pretty inattentive (it was not busy when we went) We had to get up and find our server to ask for more water. The nighttime scene is probably better. Looks like it’d be a good bar. Just highly advise against wasting your money on the expensive, poorly made food.

“DRIFT is a total scam. The food’s bland, the drinks are watered down, and they charge you an arm and a leg for the privilege. The owner, Kurt, is a real piece of work—rude as hell, can’t take criticism to save his life, and acts like he’s doing you a favor just by letting you in. You drop $25 on a cocktail, and they still find ways to nickel and dime you. And with how greedy they are, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start charging for toilet paper soon! Locals steer clear because they know this joint’s all flash, no substance, and just here to rip off clueless tourists. Do yourself a favor—don’t waste a dime here.”

Dog friendly, very accommodating. Outdoor seating, attentive staff. Was surprised how good the Honey hot chicken sandwich and the Caesar salad were. We will be back.

We were happy to finally find a clam chowder that didn’t have pork in it! It wasn’t the tastiest chowder we have ever had we appreciated that there wasn’t pork added. The drinks and view are always enjoyable.
