    Drifthouse by David Burke is a coastal dining treasure that pairs oceanfront elegance with inventive cuisine. The inviting ambiance, with panoramic Atlantic views, sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. Highlights include the Pretzel Crab Cake, a creative twist on a classic that balances rich crab meat with a satisfyingly crunchy crust, and the perfectly cooked halibut, served with vibrant accompaniments that enhance its delicate flavor. End the meal with the tangy, refreshing Key Lime Pie, a flawless nod to coastal desserts. With expertly crafted cocktails, a stellar wine list, and impeccable service, Drifthouse delivers a dining experience as memorable as its breathtaking setting.
