Driftwood - (Near Boynton Beach, FL)

5 /5 Jeffrey Lorine: Warm lighting for an excellent date night. Ambience hits the spot. Driftwood delivers on every level. I ordered a short rib, local wahoo, and a coffee and a date cake. Every dish delivered. They actually state where the fish and meats are coming from which is super cool. The uniqueness of each dish is apparent from a quick gander at the menu. The chef is meticulous and creative. I had such a wonderful time here from start to finish. Everything was a ten. I finished with their newest special dessert and a coffee. I typically hate restaurant coffee but theirs was balanced and exotic. It was the perfect finish to an a meal with unmatched attention to detail. I will be back 1000 times. Thank you chef. Lots of love to you and your team!

5 /5 Lee Syrop: We had never been here before. We probably passed by here 100+ times but did not know there was a restaurant here. Well ... were glad we finally decided to go here. The food was more than wonderful - as was the service. We sat outside which was nice. We ordered a series of small plates which suited us perfectly. The sweet and sour cauliflower was exceptional as was the ceviche. We also had Steak Tartar which was interesting the way it was served in onion type boats. Most of us had adult beverages from the Happy Hour menu but I had the Smoregasm which I utilized to turn into a laugh inducing wordsmithed twist when I said "I would like an orgasm." Almost as funny as when I said (later) "I would like another orgasm please." Besides a great laugh inducing moment - the Smoregasm was delicious and beyond. All in all a very positive experience and we will be back.

5 /5 Olivia B: Our first time at Driftwood after driving past it so many times and I can’t believe we waited so long to try this place! The setting is intimate and welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s the kind of place where neighboring tables say hello and might even inspire your food and drink choices, which I love. The cocktails are excellent. Fairly priced, high quality, and thoughtfully made. Instead of ordering separate entrees, my husband and I opted for a few small plates: the steak tartare, sweet and sour cauliflower, and smoked heritage pork jowl fried rice. Everything was delicious, but the standout was without question the steak tartare. It was unlike any I’ve had before. The beer-battered smoked onion petals added a perfectly light crunch that elevated the dish. We were so impressed by both the food and the service. Zero complaints. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu especially the small plates and some of the larger dishes too.

4 /5 Rudich Carin: Driftwood offers a great variety of seating options, the bar area, indoors and out on their inviting patio, which makes it an easy choice whether you’re looking for a cozy meal or a more open, relaxed vibe. Service, however, was a bit hit or miss. Our waitress seemed to disappear for much of the evening and never mentioned the specials, which was disappointing. Meanwhile, the waiter attending the table next to us provided above-and-beyond service, making the contrast hard to ignore. We ordered the Tilefish and the shrimp and grits, both were well-prepared and flavorful. Heads up the sauce is very heavy on the grits. The sauce was amazing that was served with the Tilefish fish. The portion sizes were very generous and easily large enough to share, which added solid value to the meal.

4 /5 Rebecca Rodriguez: I had visited this establishment for the first time this evening and was surprised. Ive been told on countless occasions how excellent the food was. I will not say that the food wasnt good, it was just a few dishes lacked on the delivery it promises. The fish & chips barely had a whisper of carribean flavor, although it was properly cooked. I wont complain about the portion size because it seems pointless, but its definitely more appetizer size then full meal. The Papillon mocktail was to die for, and contained all the tropical flavor I had been looking for. The deals during happy hour were great, and I will definitely return for those. The beef on the burger was so tender, I didnt realize I could have beef that exquisite on this side of the coast, as though it had been blessed by the butcher. And while, I understand the unique twists and add ons that give food that special touch, sweet potato definitely does not need to be in honey mustard that accompanies the pickles as it gives it a paste like texture. Nevertheless, for the top tier friendly staff, the atmosphere and the sweet and sour cauliflower, this place definitely deserves attention. Oh, and the warm date cake was the underdog that defied expectations. Although that dessert was not reccomended to me, it was what saved this palette from heartbreak. Had I decided to go on the waiters dessert recommendation, I wouldve been utterly disappointed, and sent it back for a different one altogether. Nonetheless, I had such a wonderful experience and Im sure everyone who visits here will say so too.
