   Love the fish selection haddock was served with cold veges for spring, prefer the lobster warm sauce! Shrimp dish amazing and salad excellent. Enjoyed a modestly priced bottle of wine and enjoyed eating outside in fresh air with my pup!

   The shrimp dish was excellent as was the halibut Unfortunately the fried rice tasted “burnt with propane” We salvaged the shrimp from the fried rice and put on the shrimp sauce which was great Always happy to eat outside when warm!

   Delicious calamari. Loved the crab stuffed sole. Very loud so did not linger.

   Great to be able to dine outside in warm weather! Even allowed my pup to accompany outside. The nacho appetizer with tuna and avocado was spectacular, but practically a meal in itself! The sauce on the super fresh halibut was amazing! Looking forward to dining at this gem of a restaurant again!

   Based upon the website we expected Dryft to be smaller and more upscale. It's huge and dark. the best part is the banquette seating. The Ceasar salad was excellent, we loved the crispy chickpeas and we also liked the generous octopus tentacle in a not too spicy sauce. Unfortunately both pastas were just so-so. The lemon shrimp and pesto chicken arrived with too much soupy sauce, and the chicken cubes made the pesto chicken seem like takeout food.

   Went for lunch and had the beet salad, octopus app and sausage with pasta. All were very good. Highly recommended.

   Incredible food! Excellent service! But the ambiance left a little to be desired- the light fixtures, while artistically beautiful, cast a cold fluorescent-like glow making it feel like you were eating in an office and not a hip restaurant. Also very noisy when full. Would not be appealing atmosphere for a date or romantic night out.

    It was my first dining experience at Dryft. The food was absolutely delicious! I love the vibe of the restaurant and the service was also great! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions! I met a friend for dinner, but II plan to return tomorrow with my family. I will certainly be a repeat customer.
