   The staff was the right amount of attentiveness. The food was outstanding. The recommendation of the bottle off wine made the night. What a great complementary service - sommelier. Very pleased with our choice to go here for our special night!

   Driftlight is the unsung hero of Channelside area restaurants. Having the quality of a good steakhouse, this restaurant is on the first floor of the JW Marriott. Less expensive than some of the area’s other fine dining establishments, we still hope that as our economy improves, we’ll see some dining cost reductions. But in the meantime, we love Driftlight and the great staff. We’ll be back soon!

   We had a great experience. Stayed at the waterside Marriott and reserved for Saturday night. Awesome waiter who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dinner experience.

   I had a wonderful experience. I visited Driftlight with my parents, who came to the US for a few days. They were amazed with every dish we ordered. The service provided by the staff was outstanding, especially from Juan, our server. He was very attentive and made my parents' experience more pleasant. I definitely encourage everyone in Tampa to dine and visit this wonderful steakhouse.

   Food was less than average, fish had a little taste, and steak was not prepared as ordered.
