Unfortunately, this place went totally downhill. We used to really enjoy coming here and then we noticed that we were being overcharged Every single time we came in. The food is not edible and and mice running around the bar area when we tried to speak to one of the bartenders/managers Jeane she was rude and not helpful and Marianne the owner who is barely even there was absolutely no help at all. If it wasn't for Bianchis they would have been shut down a long time ago! This place needs to be shut down, especially with mice running around they need to do something ! I will never go to that establishment ever again and neither should you! I am forced to give one star by this website, but it deserves

Grape cool aid

We enjoyed a couple cocktails at this bar. Like the ambiance. My martini was strong and because of that I gave this bar 3 versus 2 stars. The grape coolaid cocktail was disappointing. We have a go to place back home that makes a similar drinks and puts this one to shame. The other cocktail was on special and made of rum. Husband said the first drink was good but that was it. Pizza was also very basic. I wanted this place to be more than it was but no such luck. Service was also just okay.

The Wedge Salad
David T.

First off let me say- I love the ambiance.. it's a divey beach restaurant/bar. You can order pizza at the counter next door which is within the same building. We ordered half cheese & half sausage, mushroom, onion & olive. The cheese half was great but other half of the pizza wasn't so great. They put artichokes on our pizza and we never asked for any artichokes. The wedge salad was AMAZING!!! The tomatoes were perfect along with the bacon nice and crisp... not burnt. I'd get the wedge salad again. They also make a decent espresso martini.

Espresso martini

Such an amazing experience! The food was wonderful and our waitress was absolutely wonderful. We had the mussels and calamari. Both were divine. Cocktails are also really good! Divine espresso martinis and the punch I highly recommend!

Best salad in the city! Take your time to figure out the process. Be patient. It's all worth it.

Hey Murray you're OK in my book. When a waitress friend shares a great place to dine you listen and…read moreFRANK did just that for a solid rock star dining experience. Came in around 8:30 and grabbed a nice outdoor seat. Super nice young lady started our journey with taking or beverage then appetizer order. Ordering the chicken parm egg roll I was amazed by the robust flavor inside but the outer wrapping was superb. Now this is a quality egg roll and HUGE and you were issued two of these monster rolls cut in half for a total of four man sized shareable delights.. Check the photos they don't lie they were amazing. Ok now onto main fixings so I ordered the steak tips accompanied by salad and French fries.. Note these are the hottest fries I've ever had and maintained a lava like heat through my meal. Not sure if it was just high quality fries or a design flaw but they were crunchy and flavorful but the heat kept me from eating them all... So I moved onto my steak tips. In Boston when dining forget steak and move to Steak Tips cause they rule. Soft and chewy mini mounds of flesh is a New England speciality and I partake immediately into masticating these flavor bombs till the last bite. Murray's tips were a tad different than I was accustomed to cause these were marinated in a bbq sauce. Now it caught me off guard yet by the end I was a gigantic fan of this new tip sensation to my tastes buds were pleased along with my belly.. As you can see Frank was a happy camper. But one more item for a review and that was my guests meal which was a filet mignon smothered in chimichurri sauce blowing up that steak with even more layers of savor to enjoy. And hats off to chef for cooking it to a perfect medium with an outer crust but nice juicy pink inside... Ok well that's it for Franks experience at Murray's Tavern. Amazing food & dining experience and will come back again! Auf wiedersehen !

The service was very good the manager came and checked on us a few times see if everything was good and if we enjoyed our food and the portions are very big I've got a burger my wife got the seafood casserole or appetizers were tuna tartare and we grabbed a few drinks. The Cubano Martini was great the espresso Martini also is very good a server was very intentive and informative she was there every time we needed some questions asked and service I got the burger and the burger was very hefty and big I highly recommend this place

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.

Valsos served the most delicious dishes, fresh and perfectly spiced. I literally ate myself into a food coma. The service was a 10 out of a 10. Very accommodating and friendly. And the space is sparkling clean. Highly recommend this gem. I'm already planning my next visit.

The three of us returned here for lunch. We were the first customers, chose a table, and were…read morepromptly given menus. This may be more of a weekday or dinner venue, as we were the only patrons throughout lunch. This tapas-inspired restaurant offers both small plates and entrées. We ordered: * Sophia's Shrimp ($13): Parmesan-breaded shrimp with Colombian tartar sauce. * Beet Salad ($14): Baby arugula, shaved fennel, goat cheese brûlée, lemon-infused vinaigrette, candied walnuts, and crispy shallots. * Ay Caramba ($16): A vegetarian tapa packed with corn, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and more. * Oriental Salmon Special ($34): Teriyaki-glazed salmon with rice. Reactions were mixed. One diner liked the salmon, and another enjoyed the accompanying rice. I found the salmon a little fishy. The Ay Caramba, the standout dish on our first visit, was prepared differently this time, and we didn't enjoy it as much. One diner thought Sophia's Shrimp was good; another found it too heavily breaded and a little dry. The beet salad was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. However, a loud noise from the bar, apparently from making or crushing ice, continued for several minutes while we were eating. It was disruptive enough that I eventually stood up and asked them to stop. With only one occupied table, this should have been done before opening or after we left. We also had to track down our waitress to get the check which I found a little annoying, as the place was empty. Overall, we were less impressed on this visit. If we return, perhaps we'll try some different dishes.
