   Food is great and staff professional. It’s so loud!! This is the third restaurant in this space and has always had a noise level issue.

   Always love DRYFT! The tuna wonton nachos are my absolute favorite thing! Their drinks are always excellent. Waitress was excellent, so nice and attentive. Will be back soon.

   It was a good experience, food was good, wait staff was very nice. It just didn't blow us away. We will come back for dinner as the design and ambiance inside was amazing and the drink menu looked great!

   We went to Dryft for the first time for my birthday dinner - 5 of us including two teens and a 12 year old. The menu had a great selection for all of us! Our apps were the hummus plate and burratta which were both incredible! I ordered the haddock with wild mushroom risotto and it was delicious and everyone else was very happy with their meals. Portion sizes were great. We were full, so skipped dessert, but our awesome server game me a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing it was my birthday. Our server was wonderful and we will definitely be back to try the other amazing things on the menu. Our son has a nut allergy and they were very attentive to that.

   The first time I dined at Dryft in Wellesley, I was amazed that everything was so perfect shortly after opening day. I could not wait to return and finally had the opportunity last night. Unfortunately, the experience was the total opposite. I was very excited to have the octopus appetizer, but to my disappointment the first one was obviously overcooked, and the second one was still very dry even though it wasn’t burnt like the first one served to me. Two people that I requested a new place setting and fresh small plate did not understand what I was requesting, but also didn’t bother to get our waiter. Our waiter came around later and gave those items to me. The person dining with me had a steak that was just OK and was questionable if it was the proper steak ordered. The first cocktail ordered was a Seabreeze that tasted more like pineapple juice than grapefruit juice. The second cocktail was an espresso martini that was acceptable, but nothing exceptional. The best part of the night was the dessert, but I won’t be returning….especially after going home and becoming ill five hours later!

    Food was exceptional as always. Would have been great for them to publish that they were working off a limited menu as some of our favorites were missing from the menu and unavailable. This was particularly true of the desserts as their Oreo tart and tres leches desserts were both not available and the replacements were just not as good. We went with friends who had never been and items we had raved about were missing.
