"This was our first time with the new ownership. We had all been years ago and was not impressed with the décor or the food. We heard good things and decided to check it out. Glad we did! Everything was fabulous. We all got the fish fry. There were four of us and 2 loved the tartar sauce and two hated it. I was one that loved it! The rest of the menu has many things we would love to try….. We’ll be back soon for sure."

"This restaurant has had it's ups and downs over the years... the new owners and the executive chef (Erik Martinez) have it soaring again!! The food is magnificent... every single dish that my party and I have tried has been perfect. Gourmet comfort food is the best way that I can describe it... my favorite dish so far has been the pot roast with hand mashed potatoes and heirloom carrots... there are many great choices on the menu all presented wonderfully. I checked that it is great for outdoor dining, though it is winter now we could see the great patio and the great view that it has from where we sat inside... wine list was great for us. Service was superb...our neighborhood gem again!"

"Overall a nice experience but nothing stood out as exceptional. The server was really nice, friendly and attentive. The food was a little "safe" for what I thought Driftwood Dining was known for. I'll return as the food was good and the restaurant is a very nice setting and convenient for living in the area with limited options for a nice dining experience supporting local restauranteurs. We also dined on a quiet night so we'll have tom come back when it's busier and more lively to really get a great feel for it."

"We've been to this restaurant numerous times under the previous ownership/management. I didn't find it changed that much in ambiance or food quality. But the cost is higher than on previous experiences. We even had our son's wedding rehearsal dinner there about 10 years ago. For my wife and I it ran $60 even though we had a "buy one get one free entree" coupon. The food was very good and the ambiance the same as always with a great view over the orchards. If only the weather hadn't been cold, grey and snowy."

"Like the menu, something for everyone from burgers to soup and salad to salmon and meatloaf. Salmon was very good but it may be a little too well done for some. I liked mine. Will return to try some of the other selections on the menu..."
