Best Casual Restaurants in Driftwood

We happened upon the Valentine’s Day menu which was apparently a smaller version of their regular menu. My husband got the chocolate Manhattan which was not nearly as sweet as he was afraid it would be- it was just a hint of chocolate. Perfect. We shared the fried olives, which are crave worthy. The Valentine’s Day entree was duck in a cherry port reduction with a chive mashed potato cake and spiraled zucchini. The duck was perfect, the sauce was divine. (Potatoes and zucchini are hard to mess up but were delicious. My husband got the steak which arrived perfectly medium rare, as ordered. His sides were asparagus and a potato dish as well. All yummy. We had no room for dessert. If we are in this neck of the woods again, we will definitely come back.

This was a very pleasant surprise. We started our meal with the beet salad and the ceviche and both were amazing !! The ingredients were sooo fresh and the combination of flavors were wonderful. The ceviche had many surprising ingredients, and all went well together. The salad had a slice of toast at the bottom which enhance the flavors. We followed with the Niman Ranch Babette and the red fish and decided to share both, and honestly the stake was prepared to perfection !! The fish was absolutely delish with a crust that sealed the juiciness of the fish. For dessert we had the chocolate cake, and the combination of candied pecans with blackberries, chocolate cake and chocolate muse were just the icing on the cake. We travel quite a bit and have tried mayny places, this place absolutely deserves 5 stars. The ambiance was perfect, no noise and the service was wonderful.

great food every time we go, my favorite appetizer is the tuna, but you can’t go wrong with anything here. great atmosphere especially when they have the fire pits going.
