We went to Dryft for the first time for my birthday dinner - 5 of us including two teens and a 12 year old. The menu had a great selection for all of us! Our apps were the hummus plate and burratta which were both incredible! I ordered the haddock with wild mushroom risotto and it was delicious and everyone else was very happy with their meals. Portion sizes were great. We were full, so skipped dessert, but our awesome server game me a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing it was my birthday. Our server was wonderful and we will definitely be back to try the other amazing things on the menu. Our son has a nut allergy and they were very attentive to that.
