   Drifthouse has become our go-to restaurant. The food, as always, was excellent; however, it’s the service provided by Paul each and every time we go there that keeps us coming back! I’ve never met such a charming, charismatic, attentive and hard working gentleman. You’re missing out if you don’t ask for Paul when you go to drifthouse. I have to mention Nancy, a manager who we had the pleasure of conversing with throughout our dinner. Her attention to detail and care for our experience made us feel truly welcomed and at home. She went above and beyond for us, all the while managing the rest of the restaurant. Drifthouse is very lucky to have Paul and Nancy, and we are very lucky to experience their hospitality each time we go to drifthouse. Do yourself a favor, request Paul as your server and if you see Nancy, make sure to say hi, she is the sweetest lady ! Will be back soon for new specials!

   The management and staff were outstanding! Hafid, the general manager, Mike the assistant manager, Rafael the chef and our waiter Joe made for an amazing dining experience once again. Under Hafid's leadership, this restaurant has now become our go-to spot. Too bad I can't give more than five stars. Rafael is an extremely talented chef and somehow he can make something ordinary and turn it into spectacular. Can't wait to eat there again

   Our first time at this restaurant. A great experience. Has more gluten free choices than other restaurants. Service was impeccable. We will return!

   I had a wonderful experience last night while eating at Drifthouse. The food was great and the service was exceptional! The manager was very accommodating and made sure we were sat at a beautiful table.

   This is hands-down, the best restaurant in our area by a long shot. The food is consistently wonderful; among my favorites are the market salad, popovers, fried calamari, and I just had  the best pork chop I ever ate. I had it plain and grilled and it was just wonderful. I’m also crazy about their chocolate mousse pie, Keylime pie and apple crisp. If you’re coming with children or fun-loving adults, the cheesecake lollipop tree topped with cotton candy is a delight. In summer the outdoor deck is the perfect place to watch the sunset reflected in the bay and on the ocean.

   Great restaurant attached to the Driftwood Beach Club. Nice size bar with delicious happy hour menu and drinks. We went for restaurant week in NJ and had a 3 course meal for $43.00. The view is pretty nice too. Love the staff and atmosphere. Entertainment on weekends.

    Just had a wonderful & delicious dinner at Drifthouse. Just moved at the Jersey shore area, and this place is definitely our favorite! Service & food are great… and the view!! We had happy hour before dinner. Bar tenders were great and friendly! I mentioned to the manager (Hafid) we wanted a window table. I think he literally waited for a table to be ready for us. We sat where we would like to be and Hafid checked on us a few times, same he did with the other guests. And Lilly, our wait staff is such a darling! Hope she will wait staff next time we go! Gabby, one of the hostesses, was very friendly too! And food- all so delish! I have not had mussels as tasty!! And of course, the enjoyable live music! It’s a great evening at Drifthouse!
