   The view from the outdoor deck was spectacular as we watched the sun set over Lake Wylie. The food was excellent. The menu is a bit pricey but worth it for the birthday we were celebrating.

   It was their second weekend testing out their brunch menu and they did not disappoint. Would like to come back again and even try their regular menu as well. George was our waiter and he was very attentive!

    Drift has an amazing ambiance. However, the food on this night was very bland. It felt like the chef/cooks played it safe. The mashed potatoes were so bland, the shrimp and lobster were so bland I resorted to eating the burnt cheese that was a decoration. However, on the upside, the bartender made GREAT drinks. We will skip the food and head straight to the bar from now on.

    Jackson was very kind. He remembered me and my wife from a time he had been our server before. I liked that! He had great suggestions and was kind. I tried lobster bisque and it was AMAZING. My wife tried a pork chop instead of her usual filet- she recommends it! And she also had her fav- carrot cake.

    Drift just started brunch service so they are still in the process of getting it right. Our reservation was at 12:15. We placed our order at 12:45. I would suggest that you do not go hungry because they may be short staffed (it seemed like our server was doing everything while the two male managers walked around aimlessly) and be patient. Hopefully, Drift will get it together because it is a beautiful space and the food is very good.

    Excellent food & dining experience. The morning sun on the patio can be brutal; go for an open-air table inside if it's going to be warm. Great spot.

    First I must state the restaurant is beautiful! The ambiance is what you expect from a waterfront venue. The staff is welcoming and engaging from the moment you come in until you walk out. The food is fresh and cooked deliciously. Where I feel they need growth is in the little things; I should never have to ask for silverware. The tables are set up with small plate, napkin, water and wine glasses and a fork. The warm bread and butter was inviting but did not include a knife. When soup is presented at the table the spoon is a given…I should not have to ask for it. When the wedge salad is brought to the table a knife should not have to be requested. The step up is to assess and address before the customer has to make the request. Once that is achieved The Drift on Lake Wylie will truly be 5 star!

    The food was fantastic! I had the Signature Steak and my wife had the scallops. both were cooked perfectly. The service was outstanding. We never felt rushed but all of needs were tended to in a timely fashion. We were seated outside but we were kind of close to the door which is why I only gave the seating four stars. It's definitely pricy but worth it.

    From the walk in along a beautiful garden, to the tremendous view of the lake, everything was beautiful. The interior is so sleek but warm and inviting, and the staff is all very friendly and helpful. The menu isn't huge but has plenty of choices and the wine list was extensive. We ordered the crab cakes and oysters as apps and split a wedge salad. The crab cakes were very good, but we were not fans of the blackened oysters, and we love oysters. The apps and the salads came out at the same time, so we had to move everything on the 4 person table to accommodate. Next time I would ask our server to let the kitchen know we wanted time in between servings. I ordered the Drift Signature, 8oz filet Oscar style but with a crab cake and my husband ordered the lamb shank and a side of truffle fries. Both entrees were cooked perfectly and very good. The truffle fries could feed an army! Enough for 4 people at least, and they were delicious. We will definitely go back!

    I made reservations here for mine and my husbands one year wedding anniversary. I was really looking forward to a nice dinner. Unfourtanetly that’s not what I got here. We were seated and it took 10 mins for our waitress to acknowledge us and start our drink order. Immediately she asked for our food order and that’s when I knew we were being rushed. We waited 30 mins for our drinks to come out. Our food came out before our drinks did and I had to mentioned it to the food runner. Shortly after I mentioned it the manager brought us our drinks and told us they were comped! Once I got my drink it was straight tequila and I couldn’t even drink it. There was no point sending it back knowing I would wait another 30 mins for a new drink. The service was horrible. Our waitress forgot about us and the manager had to take over for her. Once we got the bill our drinks that were suppose to be comped were on it and yet again we had to get the manager bc it was IMPOSSIBLE to get our waitress’ attention. As I was paying she kept trying to look over my shoulder to see how much i was leaving her as a tip. Which i didn’t tip. She didn’t deserve it since she did the bare minimum for us. She also brought us our complementary champagne for our anniversary after we payed and we’re about to get up to leave. I had better service at a fast food chain. I don’t think I’ll ever be back.

    Absolutely beautiful setting and building. Stunning architecture. Went here on a Saturday night and had great service overall though I think our waiter might've covering a few too many tables. My filet was outstanding, slight char on the outside and reddish pink on the inside. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her scallops. We topped our meal off with their signature bomba white chocolate shell around sorbet with fresh berries. Perfect place for a special occasion dinner.

    Food was good. Service was very slow and inattentive. Disappointed with service as we had a larger party for a special occasion. Beautiful restaurant and views of Lake. Incredibly dark outside after sun sets, so you can’t see what you are eating.

    From the moment we arrived, we were treated beautifully. Our server, Thomas, addressed us by name and was nothing short of the perfect host. Our food was delicious, and the view was amazing. My husband had the mahi-mahi and I the lobster fettuccine. Both dishes were delicious, and we will definitely dine again in the future.
