    Beet salad with quinoa was delicious and it was split in the kitchen for us. That was followed by diver scallops perfectly cooked and artfully plated with scalloped (!) potatoes and sautéed mushrooms. All delicious and better than i expected in such a large restaurant. Our server was a charmer as well.

    We had a great dinner. The chicken and crab cakes were delicious, as were the gnocchi appetizer. I had the bread pudding dessert which was really good. It was a lot of food so we got to enjoy it again the next night. Thanks!! Highly recommended!

    We were a party of four on a relatively quiet Thursday night. We were seated right away and our server stopped by soon after. We were brought water while we reviewed the menus and rolls soon after we ordered. I had duck confeit, my wife had a steak sandwich, the other couple had a pasta dish and burger. While the food was well prepared and had good flavor, it did not overwhelm any of us. My duck dish came with only a leg and thigh, which I feel was on the small side for the price. What did they do with the breast since there was no other duck dish on the menu. There were pieces of duck with cassolle, but it would not add up to the breast. While we will probably visit this restaurant again, I think the portions could be a little bigger.

    Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!
