Loved my new Revere Beach dining experience. I've been coming to the beach since I was in a…read morestroller. Dryft was an upscale experience from the usual stands and restaurants that historically been part of the Revere Beach dining experience since mid-century and further back. Dryft is easy to get to from the beach side and the subway. We ate on the outdoor deck. The restaurant is above street level for an ocean view. What a great way to enjoy a summer afternoon. Our service was great, professional not overly friendly. I liked the atmosphere, casual but a bit upscale for Revere Beach. The food was delicious. I tried the clam chowder, and ordered the mushroom gnocchi. Which both delicious. They have a full bar and they offer high tops, regular chairs and indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has a Lunch price until 3 and a dinner price. I'll be back.

Came here to meet a friend, and wanted a table overlooking the ocean. There are about a dozen…read moretables outside, and 3 were taken but the majority were open. I came in at about 8:45 when they close at 10, and I was told they could not seat me outside because the kitchen was closing. I said if I order oysters or something that doesn't require the grill, can I be seated outside? They said they would ask the kitchen. The host came back and said sure, that would be fine. Then brought me through the dining room to a table. I asked again if I could be seated outside because I am eating, she said no, even though there were about 8 or 9 tables available outside. So I asked to be seated at the table by the window closest to the ocean, which you couldn't see out of based on the reflections of the lights. I likely would have chosen another place if I knew it would be so difficult to get a table outside even when they are available. So I ordered a dozen oysters, half blondes from Blue Hill Bay Maine, half were from Little Pilgrim, Mass.; they were delicious and fresh. I looked them up afterwards and I'm not sure they gave me the right names, but they do look close and at least they had a relative idea of where they were from. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche with plantains, it was good with a decent amount of shrimp but I felt like there could be more, and the plantain chips took up the majority of the dish to make it look bigger. It's a great idea & taste, but could be executed much better. I tried their Dragon's Kiss for a drink which I liked. I forgot our servers name, she was nice but I did feel like she had wanted me to order more for a bigger tip. Tip: give great service and you don't have to upsell to get a bigger tip. It was $120 for 2 drinks, a dozen oysters, and a shrimp ceviche appetizer. dragons kiss 8.5/10 oysters: blue hill bay blonde, me (?) 10/10 little pilgrim, ma (?) 9/10 shrimp ceviche 7/10 Overall it's a beautiful new-ish (3 years) restaurant overlooking Revere Beach, if you can convince them to give you a table outside. Food is good, not great but I'd need to try them again to give a better opinion. Service is just okay, I didn't like the bait and switch of the tables, or that I just came for a few oysters and a couple drinks and it was $120. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 4/5 service: 2.5/5 Dryft: 2.6/5 *docked a point for the table situation. there was no reason why we couldn't have a table outside, especially when I told them I would order raw options to make it easier for the kitchen. there were other people outside.

It was big enough for an adult and child. It came with marinara sauce and ranch. The ranch was a bit more like tartar sauce in my opinion. The restaurant has long been renovated nicely. I saw the old pics. They did a good job.

We came to Antonia's at the Beach in Revere as a party of six for what was supposed to be a nice Valentine's Day dinner, but it turned into an absolute nightmare. First, the food took over two hours to arrive, and when it finally did, it was incomplete. Missing sides, wrong orders--it was a disaster. But the worst part? The nacho sauce was expired and had a terrible, sour taste. When I politely brought this to the owner's attention, instead of fixing the issue, he got confrontational and incredibly rude. Who does that to paying customers? We left completely unhappy, and what should have been a romantic night with my wife was completely ruined. Unprofessional service, slow kitchen, and an owner who clearly doesn't care about his customers. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.

We got coffee, the chicharron with arepas, veggie omelette (added bacon), and tomato/avocado eggs Benedict. Since I can't really have English muffins (dietary restriction), they replaced the English muffin with arepas per my request. I'd recommend everything we ordered. Staff is super accommodating and welcoming. I think the staff has a shared playlist because the music was completely random and I loved the inconsistency - it made me happy that everyone got their music preferences in. They have menu specials written on a chalkboard. They have booth and counter seating. They also have limited parking available.

The whole experience almost reminded me of visiting a family that I'm not a part of...Uncomfortable and confusing. Everyone else was getting up and helping themselves to things (like coffee), so we assumed the coffee was self-service. (Since the waitress was doing double duty as the cook, seemed even more logical). My husband got up and started to get some coffee, and was immediately shooed away. It was a little bit embarrassing. The tables weren't dirty, but a few of them had personal items on them, like hats and papers and coats. Coat rack near our table was also full, but there were only 4 other people in there besides us, so I was wondering where all the coats came from. We both ordered breakfast sandwiches because the dish I wanted to order they didn't have, and the waitress said they come with coffee. (I was confused on whether we were getting coffee with the meal because she felt bad they were out of stuff, or if that's just how it works). I only got water, but we were charged for the one coffee. Not a huge deal, but not what we were told. The sandwiches were decent, but not better than what you can get at any diner/greasy spoon or cafe/bakery to go order. The other patrons all knew the waitress, and as that became more obvious, we realized why they were able to help themselves to coffee. One guy was even going behind the kitchen counter for something. I wouldn't go back, just because it's a strange place. I wonder how they stay open. Worth noting that it's cash only. ATM is available inside.

Its 11:00am she says yeah we close at 1:00pm as if it were almost going to be 1pm and she did not want o take care of us. I ordered french toast with a "side" of eggs, almost immediately she says oh I don't have french toast I have an issue with my fridge.but if you really want it I can make a batch for you.(awkward). So I say yes and I,also get a side of eggs. In the meantime she tells me I can get coffee which is self serve by the way. (Lazy, but I'm still supposed to tip you). Cups were nasty unsanitary not clean at all. So we're the coffee canisters. When my french toast came it was drenched in nutmeg. Not cinnamon discusting!! Immediately I was disappointed. My eggs were fine but.... When the check came she gives me an unitemized receipt I tell her to break it down. She charged me for the side of eggs $2.50 per egg. The side of eggs apparently came with 2 but the menu did not say it came with 2 eggs it just said 1 side of eggs $2.50. Usually in any other Diner that means the whole side no matter how many it brings would be $2.50 or whatever price they decide. That alone looked to me as they just did not have cusromersand were trying to make a buck off the people that did go. The place is unsanitary found a peice of eggshell in my cup of coffee. The hot sauce on the table looked like it was rotting. It just looked like it was not being inspected at all.
