Beach Tavern is the perfect spot for a romantic evening, with its waterfront location, great food and ambiance. As one reviewer mentioned, it's the place where they proposed to their partner. The outdoor seating, relaxing atmosphere, and amazing views of the marina and water make it an ideal place for a date night. The food is consistently rated highly, from steaks to seafood, and the service is equally commendable.

    Once we were seated everything was great. Excellent food, terrific server, nice casual pubby atmosphere with an energetic vibe. Somewhat overpriced (as too many restaurants are these days) , and the front end was sort of a mess with diners waiting way past their reservation time for tables to open up. The hostess staff was very nice and apologetic about the wait, but still there should be a better way to manage reservations to meet expectations. Got things off on the wrong foot, but everything else made up for it.

    Fantastic food, especially the New Year’s specials like cheesy pull apart bread and lobster ravioli. Service was a little slow. Food was quick to be delivered to our table - entrees came out before we were done with appetizers - but was delivered by runners rather than our server so we had to sit with empty glasses till our server finally returned. Probably a staffing issue due to the New Year’s holiday.

    Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!
