Appetizers were fantastic. The steak was just ok. Nothing special but the mushrooms with it were the bomb. The major highlight was the drinks. I had a pear martini of sorts and it was amazing. Everyone got something different and they were all 10’s.

The tasting menu on Sunday night was an incredible deal and the food was superb. Maddie, our server was as always attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant can be noisy when packed, but it was quieter on a Sunday evening.

First time here. We will definitely return. There is a pasta special on Tuesday and my wife took advantage of that. I opted for a pasta dish from the regular menu, the spaghetti carbonara and my wife had one of the pasta special, wild game ragu with pappardelle. Both dishes were outstanding. If I was nit picking I didn’t care for part of the hard boiled egg on top of my pasta, but that’s me. Our server Savanah was very good, along with the rest of the staff. Every person working came by our table either to bring food, check on us, pour wine or water and helped box up our leftovers. Drift is known more for their seafood than pasta but all pasta is made in house and it isn’t a sideline!
