   I will never return to this restaurant. Our server Josh did a great attempt, but it was his first week. I have digestive issues which the kitchen resolved by “making my meal as plain as possible “ this consisted of mashed potatoes with an overcooked piece of halibut with an adornment of pea shoots. Hardly worth the price! We shared a sea salt brownie which was adequate but microscopic. If the management of Drift think this meal exemplifies “elevated Atlantic cuisine” they are so wrong. They may be able to pass it off as such to tourists but it was an insult to every cafe, restaurant and home cook who make this food every day. There is something dreadfully wrong with the acoustics of the room, we went on a Monday evening and the restaurant was not close to full but the noise was overwhelming. There was no indication of COVID precautions and the tables were quite close to each other. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, I’m quite sure we need to go to somewhere else to ensure we can actually celebrate with great Atlantic cuisine.

   The setting was great, Thankfully! Unfortunately, this was the only thing that was enjoyed. Over priced for what was received. The service was the worst part. The girl did mention she was new, which was fine, however, being new doesn't account for how awkward she was. Not what I was expecting from Drift. Unsure if I should give it another shot.

    At the time we visited the restaurant was very busy and due to the acoustics it was very noisy. Our server was very nice and when we complained about the wine, offered to change it to an alternative immediately. The food was ok but nothing special, the rappie pie was nice, but the halibut stated it came with bubble and squeak, and nothing on the plate resembled bubble and squeak. We were also surprised that you have to pay $7 for bread, most restaurants give bread complimentary. All in the we found the restaurant and the food overrated and overpriced.

    The location, service and food at Drift are spectacular. Rayanne, our server went above and beyond to give us a great experience. Everything is 10/10, but I'd like to mention that the bathrooms need to be a bit tidier, to avoid the bins overflowing with tissues. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and will definitely come back! Thank you

    We were so happy with our choice for our 17th wedding anniversary! The food was delicious and full of flavour. The atmosphere was amazing and the service was wonderful! Can’t wait until my next visit! Our city has some pretty cool spots to go to now. I would highly recommend Drift!

    Beautiful room but the acoustics are terrible. Even the staff were complaining about the noise level. Difficult to hear the server and each other. Appetizers were great( oysters & scallop crudo) . Wine list was excellent. The Hodgepodge was sublime and nicely prepared.. The Rappie Pie & chicken was odd.. A tiny Le crueset with delicious Rappie Pie was accompanied by a plate of chicken breast chunks with undercooked bitter parsnips covered in a tasteless brown sauce. The Molasses cake dessert was dry almost stale tasting and I expected it to be warm . The whiskey sauce was delicious. Not sure I’d go back

    Food was very good and our waiter was excellent. We were seated at a very small table for a party of six and when we asked to move to a larger table to be more comfortable we were told basically to be comfortable with touching each other’s thighs. Overall not the response I would expect from an O and B restaurant

    Nice atmosphere, regular check ins with regards to service but our waiter left with no notice and someone new just appeared to take over. Very efficient service but limited engagement. Food was good but meal was expensive. $270 for 2 ppl and I don’t drink.

    We were two couples dining at Drift for the first time. Overall the experience was very good. My seafood hodge-podge was wonderful as were the salmon and halibut. My friend had the steak which was somewhat undercooked and cold but I noticed he ate it all quite quickly all the same. Drinks were great. Desserts were also quite good, I enjoyed the gluten free strawberry shortcake. Service was good and will become more polished over time I expect.

    Wow, this was my first time at Drift and it was very good. The decor is imaginative and calming, the ambience busy but not noisy, the service excellent and the food, so, so good. Unusual flavour and texture combinations that really work. I'll definitely be back with other friends next time. Be forewarned it's expensive.
