    Drift was a very lovely dining experience with a flavor suitable for anyone palette! Their staff is very friendly and Chef Jose was so accommodating. The food is exceptional, and the Citrus Seabass was magnificent. The ambiance is warm and very intimate feeling with a stunning view of the water, a truly lovely establishment for any local or vacationer!

    Amazing place with an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was incredibly engaging—not only was the food fantastic, but the entire night was truly awesome. Our waiter felt like a friend by the end of the evening. We came here to celebrate my nephew’s 21st birthday, and they made it so special for him! From games and karaoke to complimentary shots, it was everything we were looking for in a birthday celebration. And the best part? The Conga line—it was an absolute blast!
