    Drift 82 is a gem! It is a unassuming building yet when you go inside it has a great view of the bay and the dock . The bartender and waitress Yasmine were so friendly and gracious giving us extra time to order while I got caught up in conversation with a good friend. The drinks were made perfectly to order. The spinach salad was top notch with almonds,berries, goat cheese with a yummy balsamic vinaigrette. The blackened mahi sandwich was very generous and perfectly cooked. The homemade chips were so thin and scrumptious and such a generous portion! My friend had penne with smoked salmon and a pink sauce which was delicious and al dente. It was such a wonderful atmosphere there of warmth, friendliness , food and a view! My new favorite!

    Nice nautical seafood house on the Patchogue River, with views of the waterway and the Great South Bay. The four of us gave a thumbs up for a second visit.

    Everything was absolutely perfect. After we booked we found out there was live entertainment which worried us but the volume was great and we were still able to have our conversations. The food and service were absolutely perfect

    We had a wonderful meal during restaurant week. The tuna tartare was the best I've had in a long time. The short rib, mashed potatoes, and green beans were delicious. I didn't have room for dessert, but my companion devoured it. What a great spot!
