Waterfront restaurant from the Grand Banks team but closer to Christopher and the west side highway. All the food was quite solid that we had from both the brunch and regular menu. Great for people watching. Caviar trout roe and hash browns were my fav.
First time at Drift In and wont be my last. The service was great, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The cocktail was delicious and wound up having two. The shrimp was good, and I love both sauces that came with the shrimp. ...
Super warm and welcoming staff!! The hostess Natasha is so kind. I wasnt dining in and needed to charge my phone and she went out of her way to help me. In the meantime I discovered they had amazing beer and I was able to get my friend over for a quality catchup since the view is great too!
