Nice local restaurant that was dog friendly with outside seating. From the moment we walked up we were greeted and seated. The service was exceptional. The menu was just enough and not over whelming. Everything is made fresh to order, like it advertised farm to table. We got their 20 mins after it opened and there were people already there. They are only open for dinner. I would recommend anyone to check out this spot the drinks and food was delicious.
This place gets busy quick during their happy hour, however you can do their happy hour menu anywhere in the restaurant. Super awesome cocktails and food options (I highly recommend the sweet and sour cauliflower as well as the sliders). The staff is also fabulous and incredibly friendly!
Driftwood is our #1 favorite restaurant in Palm Beach County. The food here is always fresh and we love how the menu is different daily. We love the staff here! The restraint has outdoor seating and indoor. Super clean, nice big parking lot. Our favorite menu items: Chicken wing, comes with a delicious crema and it's topped with cheese Crispy cauliflower, I've never tasted an appetizer of this kind like this one. Super crispy and loaded with flavor. All the steaks specials they have here are amazing. Cooked extremely will with top tier beef. Dessert never disappoints. My favorite is their ice cream sandwich.
Had this restaurant saved for at least a year but never went because i kept going to the same three spots. I am so happy I did! Driftwood is going to become one of my new favorite spots! All the people working here were absolutely amazing (shoutout to our server Sheila!) everyone went above and beyond. The food was fenomenal, we tried a Surf and Turf mix (created by me) The steak tartare was fenomenal and the onion petal presentation is beyond words we were splitting the New York trip and the kitchen went above and beyond to separate for both. My mom and I, I think it's one of the first times restaurant has ever done that for for me we finished with the s'mores dessert, the passionfruit ice cream was absolutely delicious and fresh. Everything was amazing.
Came here for a drink and appetizer and it was delicious! The ambiance was perfect, The bartenders were welcoming and attentive, I ordered an espresso martini (it may have been the best I've ever had) my boyfriend ordered the old fashioned and he loved it too! We ordered the empanadas to share and the server was right, I should have ordered my own! It was so good, along with the milk bread. We can't wait to come back and try other menu items
This place is awesome. There is easy parking behind the building and there are bathrooms onsite. I have always had great service every time I have gone here. All servers are very knowledgeable and amenable to any changes. They are aware of allergy friendly options as well. This place is pretty farm to table so the menu changes pretty often. There was more variety when I went in the spring vs the winter. Which is understandable. I did expect more root vegetables but I will say the beets were amazing the ceviche was very good. The dry rub wings were fine but usually I'm not a huge fan of dry rub wings and I did like them. The drinks are amazing every single time though, and they come in fun glasses if you ask the servers they can serve any drink in those glasses. A fun ambiance's nice servers, always good food, I've never been disappointed the highlight of the winter food was the sweet and sour cauliflower. The highlight of the spring was the patatas bravas and the rainbow radishes.
