"I arrived on a Friday evening around 6:00PM. I was the sole customer and chose to sit at the bar. It’s in a strip mall, and it’s a cute restaurant inside. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The bartender kindly spent time making chit chat when she wasn’t busy. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay, and it was a decent sized pour. For dinner, I asked for the small house salad and the ½ lb of steamed and peeled shrimp. The salad was the perfect size for me. The lettuce was crisp and it included carrots, onions, tomato, cucumber and croutons. The shrimp were cooked just right so they weren’t mushy. The tail was still on so it was easy to grab and dunk in the melted butter that came with it. I came away satisfied with my light dinner. The place had filled up pretty good by the time I left."

"What makes a good experience eating out? Unpretentious setting greetings, quick service in seating and then serving food that tastes excellent ..and is very fairly priced. Then your server checks on you regularly and gets you a to go cup without asking. I miss places like this but you can have it at Driftwood. I had the blackened tuna with mustard and apricot. It was cooked perfectly and the balance of spice and sweet in the sauce was something they have clearly worked on because its balanced just right. The pickled shrimp was something ive not seen before. It was a nice surprise. Again, a chef that thinks about their food and brings some creativity makes eating out worth it. I have to give them a thank you too because they actually make it affordable. In a world of restaurants sounding fancy and charging per word,Driftwood seems to have chosen a path where serving good food at reasonable prices will keep people coming back."

"Stopped in because the photos and reviews were positive. I was not lead down the wrong path. Service was quick and attentive, food was huge-my salad was their small option-cheese logs were very good, and my experience was overall great."

"Am not too hungry so I ordered oysters Rockefeller and Pickled Shrimp, for $10 each, great Happy Hour price! Ambiance is casual, music over the PA system, closed caption monitors by the bar and on the wall. Decor is typical aquatic/ocean living with a marlin replica over a window looking out to the foyer/entrance with a big Driftwood Kitchen sign welcoming patrons. Service is friendly, was asked if I was by myself and if I wanted high top or booth. The server was friendly bringing two glasses of water thinking I have company; even asked if I wanted an extra glass since she already had it. Now the food: I wish I could give more than 2 stars . The pickled shrimp was a great concept but nothing about it was pickled. The 4 pieces of shrimp were cold and tasteless, exactly were cocktail shrimp that were tossed in oil and some other mixture. It definitely not pickling juice There were onion slices but were raw, not pickled. There were 2 thin slices of lemon stacked up on the shrimp, wasn’t sure what to do with them so I just squeezed whatever bit of juice over the shrimp. The oyster Rockefeller was definitely better tasting than the pickled shrimp. The oysters had creamy sauce, melted cheese and sprinkling of pancetta. There was supposed to be spinach but it was imperceptible. The oysters were not plump, more on the small side."

"I wish I could give half ratings; Everything was AMAZING, but their portions are small. I would have rated 4.5, but the food and quality of service was top notch, that’s what saved them. I ordered the biscuits+gravy, (only came with one biscuit unfortunately) my boyfriend ordered waffles with eggs. The taste was immaculate all around the table!"
