   The food was scrumptious. I was most impressed because I have a wide array of allergies. The Maitre D took that very seriously and I was assured at each course which foods were safe for me and which were not. We left stuffed and even took two entire dinners home. It is my favorite restaurant in Wellesley and we might plan a wedding rehearsal dinner here. Thank you for the great food and attention to detail.

   Fried calamari was good. Other dishes we tried was mediocre.

   Food was good Lighting in the restaurant was too bright-had a cafeteria feel. The waiter was good (although I ordered my meal with no dairy and my entree came with dairy on the plate and the waiter seemed put out that I asked for it to be fixed). Every runner basically threw the food on the table and ran. I had to chase someone down to get salt/pepper. Made it a very chaotic experience.

   We had a great time at Dryft. Our waitress was great until it got very busy and she forgot about us. The food was all very good except the lobster which was a little rubbery. Cocktails were great! We’d definitely go back again!

   Perhaps we didn't order the best options, but we were a little disappointed after finally getting a reservation there. The food was ok, not great. Worse, it was so loud, it really was not enjoyable to have a conversation with my party. Everyone is sort of yelling at each other to be heard.

   This was our first visit and it won’t be our last! We found Dryft in a Google search while looking for a nice place for a Valentine’s Day dinner. The restaurant was beautiful inside, had a great menu, and even better service. Thiago took great care of us and was patient with my many questions about the wine. After sharing my taste preferences (and lack of wine knowledge), he recommended the perfect glass of white wine for me. My wife was also excited to see they had several mocktails to choose from and loved the one she ordered. We ordered the mussels which were delicious, two lobster gnocchi dishes which were also great, and the crème brûlée that my wife is still talking about the next day!
