AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Dryft in Wellesley delights with "excellent service, delicious food" and a "high energy atmosphere." Seafood shines, featuring "amazing seafood" like crab stuffed sole and branzino. The eclectic menu offers diverse options from pasta to steak. However, the lively environment is "very loud," which might affect intimate dining experiences.

This was our first visit and it won’t be our last! We found Dryft in a Google search while looking for a nice place for a Valentine’s Day dinner. The restaurant was beautiful inside, had a great menu, and even better service. Thiago took great care of us and was patient with my many questions about the wine. After sharing my taste preferences (and lack of wine knowledge), he recommended the perfect glass of white wine for me. My wife was also excited to see they had several mocktails to choose from and loved the one she ordered. We ordered the mussels which were delicious, two lobster gnocchi dishes which were also great, and the crème brûlée that my wife is still talking about the next day!

Dryft was absolutely phenomenal. If I could give this restaurant 6 stars I would. Four of us had four different meals. The haddock, crab stuffed sole, blackened mahi mahi and the salmon. Everyone remarked how delicious their meal was. To top it off our server was superb. Just the right combination of professionalism, friendliness, efficiency and accuracy. She was always available if there was anything we wanted but not overbearing. We all expressed to each other what a great experience this was. WE all highly recommend Dryft and we will definitely be going back.

It was a bit too brightly lit for our taste. It had the feel of a daytime diner which could have been solved by dimming the lights to dinnertime level.

We had allergies expressed to the server and the kitchen sent out two dishes with the allergens in & on them. This is our first time that this has happened, they’re usually more careful, but definitely not fun to have to send dishes back and wait for them to be prepared properly.

My family and I had a delicious dinner at Dryft. We had the tuna nachos, halibut, haddock and steak frites. Our server Justin P was very attentive, knowledgeable and made our overall experience very special. We can’t wait to return and try some other dishes.

Delicious food. Service was outstanding. They were very helpful and friendly when we needed to change our reservation last minute due to a few friends being ill.
