Drift was much larger than I expected. Despite the size, the service was personal and excellent. The food was interesting and well-prepared. The juxtaposition of our table and adjacent tables was a bit tight, creating a noisier atmosphere, but it was tolerable and my wife and I could converse without shouting. Drift also has an attractive outdoor seating area we would like to experience when the weather allows it. The city views were spectacular. All in all, Drift feels very classy and provides great service and quality. I’d highly recommend it for a nice dinner out.

Food, atmosphere and service 10/10. The chopped autumn salad and saffron coconut rice pudding are a must. Special shoutout to Annie for being an incredible server! Excited to be seated with her again in the near future.

Tried the new restaurant Drift in Weehawken. Ambience was great, service was wonderful - bartender Daniella is the absolute best. But the food was incredibly mediocre. We had the autumn salad which was good but a little heavy on the dressing, the tuna crudo which was pretty tasteless, and the margarita flatbread which I literally could have taken a frozen pizza from my freezer and it would have been better. It’s surprising that the investors put so much money into the ambience but not the chef. I hope they change out the chef quickly and replace with someone who knows how to make food especially good. Also, just a note, $15 valet parking. Insane!!! I thought $10 was high and now they’ve raised it!!

That was bad. Had such high expectations. Food was not good. None of it. Even the salad. Our server Adam was awesome but that was about to. Hostess was rude. On the phone the whole time we checked in. Blu. Faubourg. Hoboken. The CITY. Much better options.

The food and ervice were amazing. The entree portion for the Miso glazed Black Cod was on the small side, but overall, it was a great experience.

I was looking forward to trying this new restaurant and was not disappointed. The ambiance was beautiful but the food was even more impressive, Miso black cod was amazing, my husband had the skirt steak very tender! The staff were very friendly and checked in consistently. Will be back very soon.
