    Drift was much larger than I expected. Despite the size, the service was personal and excellent. The food was interesting and well-prepared. The juxtaposition of our table and adjacent tables was a bit tight, creating a noisier atmosphere, but it was tolerable and my wife and I could converse without shouting. Drift also has an attractive outdoor seating area we would like to experience when the weather allows it. The city views were spectacular. All in all, Drift feels very classy and provides great service and quality. I’d highly recommend it for a nice dinner out.

    The food was great. My husband had the steak, and I had the shrimp prawns special. I would have appreciated that the description of the prawns included that they were heads on. Although the prawns were excellent, I’m not a fan of heads-on shrimp. In the least, you can ask the server to mention it.
