   Service was really bad. Our server did was not familiar with the menu. She also left mid-meal without leaving us with another server. A random server finally offered us dessert after dinner but it took way too much time to come out even though there were very few people dining left.

   Beautiful restaurant with a finely curated menu. Attentive hostesses, service by James and the rest of the team was excellent! Pretty much every table has a great view of NYC!!

   Had the chopped autumn salad which was really very good.The Spanish octopus was terrific. Had the Scottish salmon and it was great,although I didn't care for the sauce. The service we received from our waiter,Anderson was first rate.He really went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable dinner.The restaurant itself is beautiful with a beautiful setting. All in all a good restaurant with the potential to be a great one.This was my second visit and I will be going back.

   Went to drift with 3 high school buddies and we had server james which was amazing from the start. His energy was great and treated us real and spoke freely and genuine unlike some servers that put on an act and seem fake. He made us laugh at times and got all of the orders correct through the evening. He was on point as were the food runners bus boys etc. would def come back here soon especially when outdoor area opens

   It was our first time eating at Drift. Michelle was our server snd was excellent. She was very attentive, especially since i almost spilled the mignonette sauce. As soon as it happened, Michelle was there to fix the spoon. Our water glasses never went below 1/2 full. For appetizer we had east coast oysters and octopus. My husband had the ny strip steak with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I had the miso glazed sea bass with sesame bok choy. I was hesitant to get this because i’m not a big fan of bok choy. This dish was excellent! Even the bok choy. Michelle gave us a complimentary dessert. I had dark chocolate gelato and my husband had pineapple tangerine sorbet. Everything was great.

    Alex, was hands down the best server ever to take care of my girlfriend and I. His attention to detail, his knowledge of the menu and his friendliness was top notch. He did not rush us and made us feel like family. The food was a 10/10 from start to finish. We started with the sushi and the autumn soups. We then had the spicy rigatoni pasta and the skirt steak. The polenta was also a nice touch! We can not wait to come back and we will definitely ask for Alex. 10/10!
