    Great cozy restaurant with excellent food and service. Went for New Year’s Eve and everything was delicious. Tuna tartar, flank steak, fettuccini and oysters were all beautifully prepared and excellent! Will definitely be back.

    We were seated outside & although there were heaters & blankets, the area is not completely enclosed and there are openings to the outside. We were fortunate to go on an evening when it was 50 degrees and we couldn’t imagine being seated in this area had it been any colder. Limited menu with very pricey cocktails @ $18 each, even for a glass of basic Cava. If you plan on ordering a full meal (appetizer, entree & dessert) plus drinks; plan on $100 per person.

    The food was ok, but the service was excellent. The tables were a little close together and it was very loud. We also had baby within arms length which I was not sure why you would bring a baby to this kid of restaurant.

    Drift used to be my favorite restaurant in Rehoboth, maybe on the entire East Coast…but unfortunately it just isn’t quite as good now. The staff were friendly, drinks were decent but slow, and food was just ok. I think their Chef left and things are not up to par, would give it another try once they work out the issues.

    The chef’s tasting menu was excellent! We were full because of the generous portions but couldn’t stop eating. Can’t wait to come back and try it again!

    The staff was incredibly professional; didn’t rush us to order or finish. The food was excellent, and it’s a comfortable atmosphere to sit and have conversation. It’s really great to have a restaurant that understands quality service and food. Thank you!
