    Great experience. This isn't a red sauce Italian restaurant. Dishes are innovative and delicious. My first time here, but I'll definitely be back soon. Service was wonderful too. And it's BYOB! Parking is available in a nearby municipal lot.

    Robert N. was a fabulous waiter. The food was delicious. Just the mash potatoes were cold and sent them back-still cold-but we took them to go and they were fabulous! I always love the food, service , and waiters. We love the Molly Pitcher. Thank you Rob for singing Happy birthday to me! And of course we went for after dinner drinks to the bar. All the bartenders all the time are wonderful.

    We always enjoy our time and meals at d'jest. The ambience is a modern, social vibe. As always, restaurants in strip malls can be deceiving. The farm-to-table selections, the close proximity to the semi-open kitchen, and the BYOB option make this a favorite choice for us. Someone in our party had the pork chop. with not a morsel left on the plate. I enjoyed the spaghetti squash bolognese...yum with fresh vegetables for the sauce. Another diner finished her pasta dish. As always, our server was friendly and welcoming.

    Great restaurant! So many plain old pizza joints. Here you have a restaurant that makes u feel like u r special. A hidden gem. People must think it is just for banquets and not for the general public. Views are fantastic and food is excellent and staff is great!

    Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!
