    I made an reservation and arrived about 15 minutes early which allowed us to enjoy some time at the bar. The bar staff were absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, we waited 43 minutes past our scheduled time before I mentioned to the bartender that no one had come to seat us. The young lady who checked us in seemed a bit flustered at first but eventually realized she hadn’t come to get us when the table was ready. After being seated, it took a while for someone to come over for our drink orders. Once we finally got our drinks, there was another wait to place our food order. The food was fantastic, but the service needs improvement—particularly with a more reliable hostess and servers. The bar staff are doing a great job, but they can’t handle everything on their own. Overall, despite these few hiccups, our experience was fantastic, and I would definitely return!

    We went on Christmas Eve to Drift. First time for a small group of people and myself. Not many people as the restaurant is quite new. The place is beautiful (was Houlihan's in the past. Totally made over. Service was excellent with waiter ,Jesus, and helpful staff. Food was great and prices were reasonable for a high end restaurant with spectacular views of city. Drinks were good. Bar area very pretty. Will definitely return !!!
