                                Kitchen may been mismanaged that night. Wait times between courses in excess of 3 hours. Everytime our party came to agreement opted to cut our losses and walk out, a course (or glass of Prosceco) would finally appear placating us for the next arduous hour-long wait period. The food itself was ok. It was fine but couldn't remotely justify such a long time given that most items would have needed to be prepared well in advance. Unless the Chef was growing the onions & pickled them in real time, while milking cows and blast freezing the pannacotta, I fail to see what ate up so much time.

                                The Valentine's Day tasting menu was such a experience! The food was good, and the ambiance was perfect. I brought my friend for her birthday and she loved it as well. I love that they gave us each a rose and a chocolate covered strawberry, it was a really cute touch.

                                Every visit at Driphouse has been outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern style and comfort. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure we were provided with everything we needed throughout the meal. The menu rotates occasionally allowing for a unique experience every visit. The selection was fantastic, offering a range of unique cocktails and food options. The bartenders were knowledgeable and took the time to craft each drink with care, making sure it was exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend Driphouse for anyone looking for great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

                                Very lively! OpenTable double booked a reservation with ours but the staff was nice and made an effort to resolve the issue despite how busy it was. Food was great and the martini flight flavour options were quite interesting.

                                My friend and I went to celebrate our birthdays with dinner and drinks. The menu was celiac friendly and the server took the time to confirm with the chef on any items he wasn't syre about. The cocktails were all amazing and so was the food! Great service. Cute spot. Highly recommend for a date night or drinks with friends.
