Offered a couple free drinks on the house and a free desert. Atmosphere was pleasant , music was low so we can hear each other. Food was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend Drift and to request Deonte as your server. Will be coming back soon!

Prices are definitely high but that’s what you get I guess for the location right next to the water. Cocktails were very good and food was ok but I wouldn’t say it was outstanding especially for what you’re paying. Service was also slow seems a bit understaffed or just not attentive enough. We had to ask them to refill water glass multiple times.

The only thing I would say wasn’t that great is the seafood tower but the tomahawk steak and spicy rigatoni, yum! The crispy rice cakes, the happy ending roll, yum ! The frequent flyer cocktail was the prettiest and yummiest 💕

The ambiance was inviting and the view of the city was a plus . Service from the main waiter was lacking. We sat for a while before anyone came over and asked if we were being helped. In the meantime there were wait staff standing around.When the Waiter Javier finally came over he did not introduce himself or even said hello, he immediately asked for our drink order. The assisting wait staff who brought drinks and food showed more enthusiasm than the main waiter. Food was just ok for us and co cktails were good. The best part of the evening was the views. The wait staff needs better training. They are competing with Blu on the hudson next door and they don't measure up in Service for food.

It's a nice environment and has great views of the city, but too pricey for the food.

Anderson has also been super attentive during our time at Drift! First time here, but definitely will not be our last!
