From the moment I stepped into Drift for my friends Bachelorette dinner, I knew I was in for an extraordinary dining experience. The ambiance set the stage perfectly, combining elegance with warmth--soft lighting, tasteful decor, and the gentle hum of laughter and conversation creating an inviting atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The service at Drift was nothing short of exceptional. Our server James greeted us with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, expertly guiding us through the menu with insightful recommendations. Their passion for the food shone through, making it clear that the staff was not just trained to serve but truly cared about every guest's experience. Water glasses never went empty, and our dishes arrived with perfect timing, showcasing the attention to detail that permeates the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food--simply impeccable. Each dish we sampled was a masterpiece, showcasing an artistry that went beyond mere cooking. The balance of textures and flavors was nothing short of phenomenal. What truly impressed me was the seamless harmony between all elements of the dining experience--food, service, and ambiance--coming together to create a memorable evening that I will cherish for years to come. I cannot recommend this Culinary Haven highly enough. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to treat yourself, this restaurant promises an exceptional journey for the senses. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation--you won't regret it! read more

I've been 3 times. The first time my wife and I had sushi at the bar. Very small sushi selection but each item is delicious. We also had the beef tartare which was phenomenal. The next time we had dinner, service was excellent and the food delicious, I had the acorn squash ravioli dish (can't remember the actual name but it's similar to ravioli) and again it was phenomenal. My wife and I made reservations for our Valentine's Day dinner due to the previous great experience. And while the food definitely did not disappoint (both got the filet, worth it. With mashed potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms), the service was definitely lack luster. It took nearly 15 minutes for our waiter to even see us, at which point he explained he had to prioritize (so for some reason we were low priority?). It was over 40 minutes before we had a drink in front of us and even had a chance to order. We got our food about an hour and 15 minutes after we arrived, which just seems slow. The restaurant was busy, but definitely not packed. And to have the waiter essentially tell us he was prioritizing other tables made no sense. It was overall a disappointment this visit. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant, I just hope this service was a one off. read more

My daughters & I had a lovely experience at Drift. Alexa, our waitress, was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. She did an excellent job. Our only disappointment was that there wasn't any almond milk or other non-dairy creamer available for the coffee. With so many people avoiding dairy these days due to allergies, intolerances, or personal preference, it seems like a simple option that every restaurant should offer. Unfortunately, because there wasn't a single non-dairy option available, we literally had to leave the restaurant and go across the street just to get a cup of coffee. Instead of relaxing and continuing to enjoy our afternoon at Drift, we had to interrupt our visit. That was disappointing and could have been easily avoided with one non-dairy creamer option. Overall, the service was excellent, food was great and Alexa was a big part of making our visit enjoyable. I hope Drift considers adding a non-dairy creamer in the future--it would make a big difference for many guests. read more

We went here for Valentine's Day expecting a special experience, especially since they advertised a live band and premium service. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. We were seated in the back where we could barely hear the band, which defeated the purpose of going for live music. When we asked to change seats, we were told they couldn't accommodate us. We were also told there would be a complimentary champagne toast, but that never happened. On top of that, we paid a significant amount for a drink package that was presented as if we'd have dedicated bartender-style service at our table. That was not the case at all. Service overall felt disorganized and underwhelming. For the price we paid, the experience simply did not match the expectations that were set. There are better options nearby, I'd recommend Blu on the Hudson instead. Unfortunately, this place was not worth it. read more

Drift is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was breathtaking -- the decor is modern yet cozy, with the perfect coastal vibe that instantly makes you feel relaxed. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell there's real passion behind everything they serve. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was our waiter, Murilo. He was beyond amazing -- warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our night special. He gave us thoughtful recommendations, checked in at just the right times, and had the kind of positive energy that makes you want to come back again and again. Murilo made us feel like VIPs from start to finish. Drift is definitely a place we'll be raving about to all our friends. Can't wait to come back! read more

Drift is sooooo amazing! My fiancé and I went for dinner, there was live music which was so fun and utterly wasn't too loud so you could have a conversation without having to talk louder. The restaurant is incredibly aesthetic and you have a beautiful view of the NYC skyline. The drinks were delicious and so aesthetic, we ordered the after midnight and the burr martini (it was poured out of a flask that they let me take home ). For appetizers we got the whipped ricotta and the croquettes and they were to die for. For dinner, my fiancé got the wild mushroom flatbread and I got the fire island roll. Both incredible dishes, I would 100% order again. We also got a side of the Brussels sprouts, they had a hint of sweetness that was delicious. 10/10 would recommended, this is going to be our new date night spot. read more

Drift was an incredible experience from start to finish. The hostess, Anjily, gave us a warm welcome right when we walked in and set the tone for the night. Our server Michelle was fantastic--super attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Managers Nico and Gabriel both checked in on us, which really showed how much the team cares about their guests. We had the rice cakes, octopus, and sushi to start and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The tomahawk ribeye was the star of the night--perfectly cooked and paired amazingly with the Brussels sprouts and truffle fries. We finished with the bread pudding and it was the perfect sweet ending. Amazing food, amazing service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend Drift and can't wait to come back! read more

5 Stars This place checks all the boxes! The Yenga fries? Unreal. Crispy, spicy, and addicting--I could eat them every day. The ambience is beautiful, making it a great spot for any occasion. The view is spectacular, especially if you get a seat by the windows or on the patio. The valet was chilled, no stress at all when pulling up. Service was great, and I really appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was about the menu. The seabass was the highlight of my meal--fresh, flaky, and seasoned just right. And the huge bar? Perfect if you just want to hang out and have drinks. Definitely will come again. read more

I had a great experience at Drift! The drinks were absolutely amazing--creative, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. The food was also really good and paired perfectly with the atmosphere. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, but Jaime and Tasha were especially fantastic.

Had a great time at this restaurant! The Yenga fries were definitely a standout--so good I could have had them as a main dish.

The valet was chilled, making the whole arrival experience seamless. Service was great. The seabass was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. Loved the huge bar--perfect for grabbing a cocktail while waiting for a table. Overall, solid experience, and I'd definitely return! read more

What a great date night my wife and I had at Drift. The host Niko and hostess Olivia were very helpful setting us up at the bar with a drink while we waited for our table outside. The views of the Manhattan skyline are hard to beat. our server Alexa made the experience that much better. Her recommendations were on point and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and knew exactly what we would enjoy. The food was amazing. The ricotta, and crispy rice appetizers were excellent. The miso cod and agnolotti were the perfect entree. this is a can't miss restaurant in the area. read more

Overall, I had a decent experience. The Yenga fries were on point--crispy, flavorful, and a great starter. The ambience is beautiful, and the view is spectacular, but the seating arrangement could be improved for a more intimate feel. The valet was chilled, which was nice, but service was hit or miss--our server was friendly but took a while to check in on us. The seabass was delicious but slightly overcooked for my taste. I did love the huge bar--tons of options and a great vibe. It has a lot of potential, and I'd give it another shot! read more

I visited this restaurant from New York City based on a strong recommendation and was truly impressed. The city views were stunning and set the tone for a beautiful evening. The drinks were impeccably crafted, our host ( Etnik) was gracious and attentive, the food was exceptional specially the skirt steak and shrimp bao buns. Combined with an elegant ambience, it made for a memorable experience and a perfect place to celebrate my birthday . I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning. read more

Drift in Weehawken is such a gem. The space is beautiful, the views are unreal, and the energy feels effortlessly cool without being try-hard. But the real standout? The bar team. Jaime, Natasha, and Ezequiel are absolute pros. They're warm, attentive, and genuinely make you feel taken care of. The cocktails were perfectly balanced, and you can tell they actually care about what they're making and who they're making it for. Service like that is what turns a good night into a great one. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Great service. Great ambiance. Great food. Our server, Adam, recommended excellent apps and entrees. To start, we got an avocado-crab small plate and oysters, for entree I got the crab gnocchi (as recommended by our waiter) and my husband got a steak special (another recommendation from our waiter). Both entrees were delish, melting in my mouth! We were seated next to the windows, which offered an amazing view of the skyline. This place is perfect for a date night! read more

I had a great dining experience here! The gnocchi was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the wagyu steak was cooked to perfection--so tender and juicy. The wine paired beautifully with the meal, and the cocktail was refreshing. Our server, Adam, was excellent--attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was cozy and stylish, with a nice balance of warmth and sophistication. Definitely a spot I'd visit again! read more

This is wonderful. If you knew the old hpulihan's on the water, then you already know the beautiful scene of the city. But now this is an upscale place with delicious food and one of the best servers I've had in a long time named Eric. Eric helped us through the menu and made excellent recommendations. One of those is the coffee rubbed skirt steak. My wife enjoyed the halibut. piccata. The sushi to start is fantastic. Strongly recommend. read more

Food, Service, Ambiance; this place has it all. I was helped by Murilo and Anderson and this tag team duo make sure I was comfortable and content the entire time. The small plates stole the show, the prawns and octopus combo is to die for and the Burrata truly is the worlds best. The main course could have had a bit more flair but what they lacked in appearance they stood tall in taste. good date night place 80-100 bucks per person. read more

Dinner for 3 was met by a warm reception at the front desk followed by a very enthusiastic and experienced waiter, Jesus. He's the best waiter, very high energy and great story telling! We sat down in the center booths which rotates to get great views of the bar, restaurant patrons and amazing views of the Manhattan skyline. The food was superb, especially the crispy rice cakes. Highly recommend coming here. read more
