Driftwood

We came for their Happy Hour, and Driftwood truly stands out from other restaurants. The difference between a craft cocktail and a basic mixed drink is exactly what sets them apart. Their Mother of Dragons is hands down the BEST cocktail I’ve ever had. They make the dragon fruit juice fresh, strain it, and finish it with black volcanic salt around the rim, topped with a slice of dragon fruit for presentation. Such a nice touch. The service was excellent—attentive without being overbearing. The sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite appetizer. The sauce was creative and clearly made in-house, not your typical out-of-the-bottle version. I really appreciate the intentional effort they put into their recipes. My husband loves the beef tartar. He has ordered it off the regular menu as

Driftwood offers a great variety of seating options, the bar area, indoors and out on their inviting patio, which makes it an easy choice whether you’re looking for a cozy meal or a more open, relaxed vibe. Service, however, was a bit hit or miss. Our waitress seemed to disappear for much of the evening and never mentioned the specials, which was disappointing. Meanwhile, the waiter attending the table next to us provided above-and-beyond service, making the contrast hard to ignore. We ordered the Tilefish and the shrimp and grits, both were well-prepared and flavorful. Heads up the sauce is very heavy on the grits. The sauce was amazing that was served with the Tilefish fish. The portion sizes were very generous and easily large enough to share, which added solid value to the meal

We had never been here before. We probably passed by here 100+ times but did not know there was a restaurant here. Well ... we're glad we finally decided to go here. The food was more than wonderful - as was the service. We sat outside which was nice. We ordered a series of small plates which suited us perfectly. The sweet and sour cauliflower was exceptional as was the ceviche. We also had Steak Tartar which was interesting the way it was served in onion type boats. Most of us had adult beverages from the Happy Hour menu but I had the Smoregasm which I utilized to turn into a laugh inducing wordsmithed twist when I said "I would like an orgasm." Almost as funny as when I said (later) "I would like another orgasm please." Besides a great laugh inducing moment - the Smoregasm was delicious

This restaurant was absolutely phenomenal! The drinks were amazing — perfectly crafted and full of flavor. The bartender was passionate, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in what they do, which made the experience even more special. The food was outstanding. I literally ate every crumb on my plate! The fried rice was especially unique — unlike anything I’ve had before — and every dish was beautifully balanced in flavor and presentation. You can tell a lot of care goes into each detail. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Warm lighting for an excellent date night. Ambience hits the spot. Driftwood delivers on every level. I ordered a short rib, local wahoo, and a coffee and a date cake. Every dish delivered. They actually state where the fish and meats are coming from which is super cool. The uniqueness of each dish is apparent from a quick gander at the menu. The chef is meticulous and creative. I had such a wonderful time here from start to finish. Everything was a ten. I finished with their newest special dessert and a coffee. I typically hate restaurant coffee but theirs was balanced and exotic. It was the perfect finish to an a meal with unmatched attention to detail. I will be back 1000 times. Thank you chef. Lots of love to you and your team!
