    Good choices, outstanding service,, all enjoyed our experience and will definitely come back to the Drifthouse. The interior is beautiful and we were seated by a window with an ocean view. Our waitress had a wonderful personality and was a big help in helping us with our choices.

    We celebrated my father in laws 82nd birthday which the staff and host went out of their way to make it extra special. They accommodated our special requests very graciously and made us feel very welcomed. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. Best views. Server was excellent. We had a very nice evening!

    The band was fantastic. Great decor, friendly and helpful staff, deliciously prepared dishes (chicken franchise, tuna and salmon tartare, scallops and octopus were all memorable and well prepared). Will definitely be back.

    Hafid Elbroji, the general manager and the assistant manager were great. They tended to every detail. We also.met the executive chef who came out to greet us. The food and service was outstanding. After the meal we have dessert and cocktails in the adjacent lounge in front of a wood burning fireplace. A great Saturday night experience!
