    The decorations was next level, the service was fantastic, the food was delicious and there aren't words to describe the multiple levels of semi private tables located throughout the restaurant! It makes the contemplative mind wonder if the restaurant was built with this amazing plan to create just the right venu for special moments or was it converted by some amazing soul with a passion to leave lasting moments in their patrons minds! Kicking myself for not treating ourselves to this exquisite restaurant sooner. Thank you

    The Drifthouse gave us a most memorable Valentine experience. We were seated at a prime table with a view of the ocean and the pool. Although off season, we had the feel that wait staff through top management were there to make this the wonderful time it actually was for us. Mealwas excellent! The seafood platter was fresh and cooked to yield greatest taste. Having to choose between two wonderful pies, the General Manager Hafid Elboji, solved my predicament by giving me BOTH! Serve throughout the meal by Vincent was flawless, anticipating our every need, and resolving it in anticipation. This is a high spot of Jersey Shore dining. I expect to be returning often!

    As always, the food was outstanding. We had the blinis and the scallops risotto. Our server Sue is a doll, they all are. She offered us two big chocolate dipped Strawberries with whip cream for dessert. We just had the grandest time gazing at the view and raving about the food. Yes, we are frequent diners, We’ve been coming hair forever, been in the area over forty years. Nothing compares to lunch at the Molly except dinner and breakfast at the Molly!😀. We will be back very soon. One of the highlights of our retirement in the land between two rivers!
