   Overall pretty disappointed by Draft. Although it’s the holidays, we visited on a Monday for dinner and it was not overly busy. However service was poor, food was cold and portions were small, overpriced. It took 20 min for our server to bring the waters we ordered. She seemed to forget about us for a while. Food finally arrived and my $24 Patty Melt was cold. The Mac n cheese portion seemed like a child size. The burger was so small the patty didn’t even fill the bun. Everyone liked their food but not worth it for what we paid. I’ve been here a few times before, but it’s been a while. I’ve always enjoyed the food and had no complaints, but after tonight I won’t be back. I will say the holiday decor was fun and festive. My kids enjoyed themselves.

   It was cute and festive for the holidays! Crowded but thankful we made reservations. The heat lamps outside were perfect and we enjoyed the food and drinks . I would come back again for sure and bring my other friends. We love how it was family friendly so able to bring the kids . Ayden was a wondeful server and was very attentive so thank you so much!

   Nice spot but the food was really mediocre at best.

   Love all the crazy decor! The Christmas cocktails were good however, they had too much ice! Needed more actual cocktail 😏 Loved that Santa was there. Our server was delightful and attentive.

   This is my review for the Thanksgiving buffet that I took my family too only. The ambience and buffet layout were very nice. The cost was 70.00 per person. The beers were 13.00 for a 20 oz and they were selling cocktails for between 15.00 and 20.00 and trying to get you to buy the special Holiday cup for another 20.00 to 25.00. Overall I think the place is overpriced. And on top of that they add a surcharge to the bill of 5% and on top of that you gotta pay extra for the tip. I went with 1 adult and 2 kids and we all were charged the same rate of 70.00 a person. The bill came out to $330.00 i left the tip in cash. I will not be going back there. The buffet was good and the guys taking care of it were pretty nice and generous. But those prices and asking for a Surcharge.... No Thank you.

   I reserve my table online more than 3 weeks in advance I was told by the reservation that the all you could eat buffet was $70 apparently that is not the price. The price is $75 plus a service fee that was also not mentioned. I arrived at the restaurant at the said time of my reservation had even checked in with the hostess and still people who walked in off of the street with no reservation that day were seated before I was seated. I finally was seated then had to move because the table was already taken so then I was reasted at another table and I don't know if because of all that confusion did the wait staff didn't know that I hadn't already been taking care of after watching a waiter bring beverages to multiple tables I finally had to flag them down to get them to take the drink order for my table. Yes I understand these people are willing to work on holidays and they would probably rather not be there they'd probably rather be elsewhere Yes understand but if you're there you need to be professional You need to provide good service The service was very very lacking Short of having to stand up and say I needed service at the table It was very hard to get the server to come over and address the needs of the table That to me is not professional not even close and these people work for tips they work to get extra money for the service that they provide I don't know how I can give them 18% gratuity of my hard-earned money when they are not working to provide the service for me That makes no sense to me at all. The food was exceptional I have never not had a problem with the food tasting wonderful at this restaurant I have however had problems with the wait staff more than once so I don't know if it's that they have a hard time hiring people that actually want to work there or they just in general are bad at being wait personal. Just know that if you go you may not get good service at your table.

   Our experience at Draft was drab. The waitress acted as though she didn't want to work that night. It took forever to get someone to take our order. I had to signal for a busboy to find our waitress and when she came, she didn't apologize for the wait nor was she friendly. We ordered fried pickles as an appetizer and batter was fried so hard it was eating it. I ordered 5he salmon which was delicious along with the broccolini but the crispy potatoes were soggy. Now good. My husband stated his burger was cold but the fries were good. I made this reservation on Open Table from NC to really enjoy a good meal on the beach for vacation in San Diego. Very disappointing, indeed.

    It's hard to argue with an oceanside view from a patio table. We had 4 people in our party. The drinks were good. Our 4 different meals ranged from fair to good, but certainly nothing special. We shared two very skinny pieces of delicious, but ridiculously overpriced cake. The overall experience was nice because of the ocean. The meal was nothing to make us want to come back again.
