Food, atmosphere and service 10/10. The chopped autumn salad and saffron coconut rice pudding are a must. Special shoutout to Annie for being an incredible server! Excited to be seated with her again in the near future.

Tried the new restaurant Drift in Weehawken. Ambience was great, service was wonderful - bartender Daniella is the absolute best. But the food was incredibly mediocre. We had the autumn salad which was good but a little heavy on the dressing, the tuna crudo which was pretty tasteless, and the margarita flatbread which I literally could have taken a frozen pizza from my freezer and it would have been better. It’s surprising that the investors put so much money into the ambience but not the chef. I hope they change out the chef quickly and replace with someone who knows how to make food especially good. Also, just a note, $15 valet parking. Insane!!! I thought $10 was high and now they’ve raised it!!

That was bad. Had such high expectations. Food was not good. None of it. Even the salad. Our server Adam was awesome but that was about to. Hostess was rude. On the phone the whole time we checked in. Blu. Faubourg. Hoboken. The CITY. Much better options.

The food and ervice were amazing. The entree portion for the Miso glazed Black Cod was on the small side, but overall, it was a great experience.

I was looking forward to trying this new restaurant and was not disappointed. The ambiance was beautiful but the food was even more impressive, Miso black cod was amazing, my husband had the skirt steak very tender! The staff were very friendly and checked in consistently. Will be back very soon.

Outstanding!My husband and I dined at Drift last night and I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful restaurant. To start, I was looking for something “romantic” if you will. We live in the Montclair area, and we go to the same places every week, so I wanted something different. Didn’t feel like heading into the city, the next best is Weehawken. Drift came up, I took a look at them menu, the restaurant and said this looks like what we need. My husband was super impressed by the location and the staff the minute we walked in the door. We were sat immediately at a table in the window with a beautiful view of the skyline. Our waitress Angela was very attentive and knowledgeable. We stared with the grilled prawns and a sushi roll. Both fantastic. The cocktails also amazing. Next I had the coffee rubbed skirt steak and my husband had the pasta with the pork ragu. Phenomenal! We ordered a bottle of wine, which the sommelier brought and also very nice. He informed us this was only night 3 of being open! We couldn’t believe it. The restaurant is so put together we would have never guessed it. He offered to buy us after dinner drinks. We finished, and went to the bar, which is beautiful, and ordered a round. After about 15 minutes our friend found us, and indeed kept his word and took care of our drinks. We spoke in pleasant conversation for about 25 minutes about the food, family and the restaurant. All in all it was such an enjoyable evening. We will be back very soon for the food and the company.

I’ve been waiting for Drift to open for a long while now. Took a risk and made a reservation for their first Saturday night, party of 3. It was well worth the wait! Overall - fantastic. Sophisticated beautifully designed space, background music playing was mid tempo lounge at a volume that was just right, knowledgeable friendly staff (Jose from Longbranch NJ was our waiter - he was terrific), delicious food and drinks - great value for the price. Portion sizes are ample, food flavor was just right, timing of the courses was exactly how it should be, wine prices and pour was surprisingly better than expected. Run - don’t walk - it’s a wonderful night out!

My husband and I had a fantastic time at Drift last night. Our server, Jose, was so gracious and attentive! The food was superb, I forgot to get pictures of everything cause it was so yummy. We ordered the Octopus, croquettes, skirt steak, Brussel sprouts, halibut and the banana soufflé for dessert. It was well spaced out for each course. The atmosphere is very chill and not uppity at all! Highlights: Octopus: not the biggest fan of beans but it was made so well. The roasted chorizo is a great balance with the well cooked octopus Brussel sprouts: roasted and seasoned so well!!! A great side to get!!! Banana Soufflé: it does take 25 min to make but soooo worth it. Very light and airy and a delicious banana sauce We definitely will be returning! Everything was delicious!
