Amazing experience. The grounds are kept beautifully, the staff are superb, the food and Chef is excellent and the beds are super comfortable and the rooms are very nice and clean. Im coming back in 3 months. That's how great of a time we had. I highly recommend Southpoint hotel and Driftwood restaurants. The burger is house made and top 5 best burgers I've ever had.

This was our first visit to Driftwood, and we really enjoyed the experience. The special Valentine's Day menu was delicious, and the staff and chef were very friendly and gracious.

The restaurant offered an exceptional dining experience with amazing food and friendly service. While service was relatively quick, the staff’s warmth stood out. I’ll definitely return and highly recommend others give it a try!

The food was ok when it eventually came, but we were served breakfast over an hour and a half after our arrival. We were a large party (10) and it was New Years Day, so we were forgiving, but still this was absurd. It took over 15 minutes after being seated to have anyone come to our table with water and to take our order. They were not busy - maybe 20% capacity - but severely understaffed. Our waitress was friendly and we felt terrible as she and the hostess were berated by other diners. Our coffees and teas arrived twenty minutes later - no exaggeration. We heard someone else complain he’d been waiting for an hour for bread and butter! If we were not enjoying one another’s company, the experience would have been unbearable. And I reiterate, nothing was wrong with the food and the staff was nice, but I wouldn’t go back.

We left feeling disappointed which was a shame as it all started well. We had an early reservation with only one other table in when we arrived. Service started well and we were happy. The food took over a hour to arrive, which in itself was fine, we were in no rush, but they came out with the starters and mains together. I’ve never experienced this anywhere ever! The staff seemed surprised we weren’t happy to have our mains and starters delivered at the same time and their reasoning was the kitchen was backed up and this is what’s best for them so they just dumped the plates and left us with them. We ate as after waiting an hour we were hungry the restaurant was busy now so we thought best to get on with it. Our server came back eventually to check in and we told her our complaints, she listened but then didn’t follow up on bringing over the right person to speak to. He eventually came past and checked in, by this time we had finished. He did listen but again just made excuses for being a new location and still trying to find their feet. I think 9 months in you should not be hiding behind that excuse or any to be fair. We tried to give positive feedback they could use but no one apart from our original server seemed to want to listen and rather turn it back on excuses. I was told at the end by, I think, the manager, ‘well you ate it, and some people didn’t get any food so you are lucky’! Really that’s the best you can do for a customer service resolution! A real shame as the food, mostly, was very good, there is obviously a real talent in the kitchen but front of house needs some work. A customer complaint is always an opportunity to retain business, how it’s handled it key to that. Had we been listened to, given a simple apology, not a load of excuses this would have been an entirely different review. Very disappointed.

A lovely breezy restaurant, at a charming beachfront hotel. The Christmas buffet was delicious and plentiful with a wide variety of salads and meats (including leg of lamb in addition to traditional ham and turkey), and delicious desserts. The staff were friendly and attentive and the hotel reception staff were very welcoming. A very fun and festive meal.
