Drift is on the Islander Hotel property. I was directed to park and told to take a short walk towards the beach and the path would lead to the restaurant. I did indeed get sand in my shoes and had the thought that maybe I was going to end up at another beach dive bar but upon approaching the restaurant all of my misgivings subsided. The seating is outdoors under an intricately thatched roof with woven basket-like hanging chandeliers and ceiling fans, picture a Restoration Hardware photo shoot. The tables are spaced with enough separation for privacy and great views of the tropical oasis and Atlantic Ocean. Even though there are beach goers moving along the property the restaurant has ceiling to floor sunshade screens that obscure activity without diminishing the view. I was greeted and seated by a pleasant hostess and my drink order taken in a timely manner. I started with a Greek salad that had ample preportions of all the things you really want more of in a Greek salad. The Main course was steak and delivered by the Executive Chef, who was really interested in my thoughts about the food, which by the way, I thought was scrumptious. I would definitely consider this restaurant to be on the upper scale of what Islamorada has to offer and yet relaxed enough to not have to dress formal for dinner.

Amazing experience at Drift. Our server was phenomenal! It was our first night here and needless to say our 2-year old was extremely exhausted and acting cranky at dinner. It did not phase our server and she was so patient and kind with him and us. She made amazing recommendations and we had the best meal! Tuna crudo, lamp chops, and spaghetti with clams. All food had amazing flavor and service was top notch!
