   We had a delicious anniversary dinner and wine. My husband had the duck Paparelli and I had the cooked to perfection local scallops. We shared the cured salmon small plate. Everything was delightful, service with a smile, and a special card for our anniversary.

   DRIFT Seafood & Raw Bar is simply exceptional. We moved to Rehoboth Beach from New York City and every time we eat at DRIFT, we talk about how lucky we are that restaurants like DRIFT are here. There are several "NYC-quality" restaurants in the area, but we get to pay Delaware prices and experience friendly Rehoboth Beach service. We are so grateful that Chef Tom Wiswell and his team are here at the beach!

   Outstanding wine dinner! Chef Kyle's food pairings were delicious and spot on, deserving to be placed on the daily menu and the service provided by our waiter Danny superb.

   No restaurant in Rehoboth comes close to the quality of food and drinks.

   Fun place with excellent food. Enjoyed the owners other place Bodhi more however--Waiter forgot one of our diner's small plates. Food delivery time was oddly spaced out. Unfortunately the four top patrons next to us were wasted and loud, in an already loud restaurant. If I had to choose again, I'd spend my time at Bodhi.

   3rd visit, consistently excellent. Creative menu that actully delivers on execution.. brought out of town guests and they were completely wowed. Cocktails are excellent, as a beverage professional myself, I have to say that the yellow pepper one was the best drink I’ve had out in a realllly long time… tons of lobster in the lobster pasta, the duck pappardelle was rich, but the fennel and/ or tarragon made it feel a bit lighter and interesting so kept going back for more. Husband said best soft shell crabs he ever had.. I had the caviar & tots… loved! It was like a caviar parfait with the best stuff.. my only complaint is that the tots were too salty, so with the salty caviar it was a bit much. Still delicious and worth another next time! It’s not an inexpensive restaurant, but in our area everything is expensive for mediocre, spending a little more for the experience at Drift is 100% worth it!

    Delicious meal….. only item that was less than stellar was the risotto which was a bit soupy. Since I dint’t eat oysters like the others at my table, I ordered the carrot soup .. thought I had died and gone to heaven. The “cheesecake” Is fun and unexpected.Great at managing my husband’s multiple allergies. Service was top notch.
