   I got seated out on the patio, which happened to be a bit chilly. The hostess offered a blanket and was incredibly sweet. The server was great and the food came out fast. I ordered a drink (I can’t remember which one- but it was good) a fig salad and the sea bass. It was Devine. I highly recommend.

   We had a lovely evening. The service was amazing. As a person who eats plant based, it is had to find a nice restaurant that actually has a few options that are specifically vegan. Everyone at the table was able to find food they enjoyed. The view is so pretty!

   The food is delicious and the service is wonderful at Driftwood. It might be nice if the tables looked a little more upscale, but not a huge deal. It looks more beach, friendly.

   Loved it! Found this spot on TikTok and did not disappoint. We were accommodated outside with little to no wait and the service was great! Our food was brought out at an appropriate time the wait was literally nothing.

   Love the view, food and ambiance. We recommend reserving your dinner as it can be packed, especially on Fridays. This restaurant is on the pricey side.

   Service was excellent. Ambiance was acceptable...we went Sunday morning and traffic was light in the restaurant. Valet parking is $16. View is ocean but you have to sit outside to see the ocean directly, otherwise you're' looking through people. Temperature was not well-controlled. Food was mixed. French Fries - tasted like tallow-cooked fries but no information about sourcing so don't know. So excellent. Hamburger steak - excellent - again no information about sourcing but tasted like it might be pasture-raised grass fed. Eggs were stated "Organic" but appeared to be pasture-raised and organic by the color of the yolk - again no sourcing info except in this case it said organic on the menu. Blueberry Pancakes were also excellent. Sourdough Bread could have been better - lower quality. Skillet Potatoes on the eggs and sausage plate were awful...not good at all. Looked undercooked in a pot in chunks and then served before ready. Cappuccino was good.

   Went to celebrate our anniversary. Early enough to have a great ocean view. Food was delicious. Surf and turf for me and the ribeye for my wife. Looked beautiful on the plate. My Filet was perfectly charred, with great Asparagus spears and whipped potatoes. Lobster seemed a little undercooked. My wife enjoyed her steak and it's trimmings. Waiter was very nice and the food came promptly. They gave us a lovely dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Management was hands on making sure everyone had a great time. Fabulous time and will certainly return.

   It was a little cold inside but that’s a minimal thing. The food was phenomenal as was the service. I would definitely go back here again.
