Littlenecks!
Rose S.

View is spectacular, food was delicious, but, dude, Italian food with no bread? Drinks are amazing!

Shrimp Limoncello
Andrew P.

GOOD ITALIAN & GOOD VIEW: I had the Shrimp Limoncello and it was an excellent dish. Great balance of flavors and the pasta tasted fresh, not heavy. Portion sizes are on the small side, so you'll probably want an appetizer if you're hungry. In the end you get solid Italian food without having to drive into the North End. The view of the water is really nice and definitely one of the draws for me to come back. There's some limited free street parking, but finding a space isn't always easy.

Lobster Roll (today's price $45) was good though
Danilo A.

Service was top notch. Our server, even though it was very busy, was on top of everything. The food was really good too. You get what you pay for. We started with the clam chowder and it hit the spot. It had a perfect combination of ingredients. Tasted so good. For the main we decided on the lobster roll (market price $45). It was a great choice. The crab was so good and they did not fill you up with bread. There was a lot of crab on the roll.

Salmon Benedict & Steak and Eggs
Carrie V.

Brunch at Dryft was soooo good! I got the Salmon Benedict and it was delicious. Perfectly poached eggs, buttery English muffins, and the freshest smoked salmon with a creamy hollandaise that tied it all together. Also the spinach was SO good. My friend got the Steak & Eggs which she loved, but the real star for me was the espresso martini, easily one of the best I've ever had. Our server Tracy was the best! So nice and attentive. Between the ocean views and the chill brunch vibes, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Wine martini

Nice place on the beach good drinks, food excellent wine selection nice ambiance went there a week ago.

Espresso Martinis for the group
Luciana S.

If you want to pop in for drinks, be aware that you'll have to buy them at the bar and sit on the far side of the restaurant by the entrance. Not ideal but okay in a pinch! Check it out if you're in the area and don't need service help.

WOW! What a spot, from the beginning to the lovely young lady greeting everyone in the entrance, to the Service from our server named Salome that went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience, to the food being perfect, from the Calamari, being fried to the perfection, seasoned BEAUTIFULLY, to the Chicken Parm being well seasoned, n moist, to my dish which was AMAZING! Ahh... Butternut Squash Puree, Chard Broccolini, Crab Stuffed Fish topped with a citrus chimichurri to finally finishing with an extraordinary two desserts! Thank U!!!

The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing, they did a fantastic job with design elements, and there is a water view. I also found the wait stuff to be very friendly and accommodating, plus the food is very good, keep in mind that parking is on the street, so definitely budget time for that, although I do believe there is a parking garage, but I'm just not sure where it is in relation to the restaurant.

Location is right on Revere Beach and the parking is available on Revere Beach. The food is always tastes delicious and no complaints here. This place is classy and a great place your a date on a dinner. They also served a full bar menu as well.

Haddock over lobster mash
Tish B.

Finally made it to the east coast for a little relaxation. I looked up the restaurants in walking distance. I landed on Dryft....I had the meal I wanted to try in mind. IMPRESSED is an understatement!!!! The service is great and the ambiance is chic and relaxing....the meal blew me away! Being from the midwest, I will have to pay triple for fish this fresh! If I'm ever to make it back...I'll be back for this meal hands down!

Watermelon salad with chicken
Megha U.

The vibe is cool and great views Service is good We went for brunch and my eggs Benedict was cold! Salad was fine. Wish the food was better and warmer.

Fried Calamari
Kristine L.

Delicious is all I can say! We were traveling out of Boston the next day and were looking for a dinner place near our hotel. Great find and will definitely be back if we're ever in the area. I had the salmon over fried rice.... So yummy! We also ordered the lobster roll cold and it was stuffed with lobster. I was sad that we weren't staying an extra night because I really wanted to try the pasta! Parking is a bit tricky. Find a place on the street and walk over. The waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful.

I recently visited Dryft with a friend and absolutely loved it! Located on Revere beach, it has a great vibe and great views. The service was efficient and our waitress was so sweet. We started with some cocktails and I got the Ghosted. It had ghost tequila, ghost pepper, turmeric tonic, lemon. It was super delicious but just a little too sweet for me. We also ordered the buffalo cauliflower and it was fantastic. It had the perfect level of both spice and crunch. I asked the waitress for some guidance on my dinner selection and recommended the Shrimp Limoncello as one of their most popular dishes, and I can see why! It had fettuccine, creamy lemon sauce, parmesan, garlic, breadcrumbs, and lemon gremolata. It was absolutely exceptional! The taste was so rich and wonderful and the breadcrumbs added a great texture. I would absolutely recommend it and due to the richness, I was able to get two meas out of it. For dessert, we had the apple bread pudding which I would also recommend! Super yummy. I am looking forward to returning to Dryft and trying more of their creations.

Food and drinks are good. The vibe is also fun. The seating both inside and out are festive. The bar is very active and lively at night.

This place is great! Seems like most patrons feel the same way…read more Food is delicious and everything is a great choice. They have rotating specials all the time, but their regular menu is so good that I just can't move away. Their smash burger is fantastic, but their salads are nice and hefty, so even if you're trying to eat light, you leave full and satisfied. Caesar salads are simple and standard everywhere, but I'm always happy with the one I get from Murray's - well dressed with a yummy cheese crisp on top. Their wings are delicious, always come out piping hot, and have a creative array of sauces. The variety of fries are impressive too and all of them are delicious (though, when are fries really not delicious?!) My favorite thing about Murray's is the front outdoor seating area. When the weather is a bit cooler, they'll turn on the gas heaters, so you can have a comfortable meal and still enjoy some fresh air. But what makes it truly my favorite is that it's dog friendly! It's always so tough to find spots that allow dogs, but Murray's staff is always so kind to us when we bring our dog with us for dinner, and they'll even bring out a bowl of water for him. Good service comes from the top, and we've met John, who is incredibly nice and friendly. Conversations with him are consistently pleasant and we love that he's always open to sharing what he knows about food and drink! The staff also provides kind, speedy service, which we definitely appreciate. The only negative about Murray's is the fact that we only found them a year ago and hate that we didn't find out about them sooner!

Very personable and welcoming. Food delicious! Felt warm and comfortable. Enjoyed the experience!read more

Hook and Reel in Revere is a solid choice if you're craving seafood. The quality is consistently…read moregood, and the portions are generous--almost heavy‑handed, in a good way. If you stick with the seafood, you're going to have a great meal. That said, keep in mind it is a seafood restaurant. They have chicken wings on the menu, we figured we'd get them to share until the food came out.. They were honestly terrible. The order we received came with six extremely small, overcooked pieces that were so dry and tough looking they weren't even edible. Just looking at them we didn't bother as they weren't at all appetizing. I'm not sure if it was a bad day, a supply issue, or something else entirely, but they were a complete miss. Speaking of, service can be hit or miss as well. This past weekend, we had a wonderful server who was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The visit before that, however, was the exact opposite. Our server--who seemed to be either a manager or assistant manager--spent nearly all of his time chatting up a table of women, clearly trying to get phone numbers. Trying to get his attention for anything felt like a major inconvenience. What motivated me to write this today is that not only was the service good on our latest visit, but we also tried the fried seafood instead of the usual seafood boil--and it was absolutely excellent, and not at all expensive. Both the fried shrimp plate and the fried clam plate were outstanding. If you haven't tried their fried options, or not in the mood to put on gloves and dig into a seafood boil, don't sleep on their fried seafood. It was surprisingly impressive. Overall: great seafood, inconsistent service, avoid the wings entirely, and definitely give the fried dishes a try.

I was happy as a clam here, having my dinner (drinks, seafood and dessert), so I texted a friend…read moreletting her know about it- she then proceeds to tell me it's one of favorite her spots! girl really??
