Overall, our food experience wasn't as good as our visit last year. The crudo scallop appetizer never really came together but the seared scallop alternative was very good, oysters fresh and delicious but while $5 per for the non local ones was ok, the same price for DE bays was not! Bread service was excellent though 4 small pieces for $8 seems high. My lobster french toast was very good but a later delivery appeared to have less meat?? The crab spaghetti could have used more crab and overall flavor a bit bland. Wine markups high (according to WS pro markup approached 400% on my bottle of Garnacha) and wine pours BTG could be more generous. Cocktail drinkers enjoyed them. Terrific service from Mattie (sp) and her associates. We'll return.

We had a lovely evening at Drift last night. The service was great! We sat outside on the patio and back, and that was lovely. The cocktails were interesting and delicious. We had a few small plates and a couple of large plates. We thought that the small plates were very good, and the large plates were made well, but just not as good as the small plates that we ordered. Overall, a great experience and we will be back!
