    Several of us had the pasta with white clam sauce. It was redolent with garlic as it should be and was delicious. Others had the waffle with lobster and it too was very good. Felt the desserts were overpriced for what they were but very good nonetheless. Service was very good also.

    A very good restaurant that was shorthanded in the front of the restaurant and in the kitchen. The food was excellent except for the pancake entree; the pancakes were burnt, not worth the price. We will return.

    We went to Drift for a special occasion. This restaurant is very busy, and reservations are sometimes hard to come by. The place itself is wonderful renovation of a 100+ year old Rehoboth Beach Camp Cottage house. Totally remodeled with warm wood and muted colors. Features both inside and outside seating and a window seats at the bar, looking out on Baltimore Avenue. Food was absolutely creative and delicious. My husband had their signature lobster French toast, and I had the blue crab hush puppies. Both dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. Tasty and innovative craft cocktails.we will definitely go back!

    Food and service always amazing. Small space, so almost always full and can be noisy and not conducive for conversation. Other than that, a great place with consistently great food.
