Drift Seafood & Raw Bar

We had a weeknight reservation for our first visit here. Drift is very small, but well decorated and comfortable. There is a small bar with some outdoor seating on nice days. Service was excellent, tables were cleared, orders timed correctly, knowledgeable, and friendly. Not a given in a beach town. We had a dozen oysters to start their homemade cocktail sauce is strawberry based and interesting the mignonette was superb. The strawberry was begging for a dash of basalmic The oysters were fresh, we preferred the DE and VA options to the CT ones. I’m sure these rotate based on availability. Their endive Caesar is a showstopper. The dressing is spot on and the endive holds it perfectly like little swamped canoes. Crouton crumble, cheese, and fried anchovy bring this gem into perfect, harmonious balance. We had lobster spaghetti and flat iron steak for mains - both excellent. The squid ink pasta with browned butter and chili crisps took this healthy portion of lobster to the highest level. It had a savory praline start, sweet lobster middle, and chili crunch finish. Superb!
There is more to try and I’d eat that salad again tomorrow - we will be back.

This is a beautiful little place in the heart of Rehoboth beach! It is a smaller restaurant so make sure you make a reservation. My party of 4 had a wonderful time. Our server was attentive and friendly. The drink menu is original and they tasted great! The tuna appetizer was a delicious starter; and all of our meals were beautifully plated and had amazing flavor! I would definitely recommend trying Drift. In an area with so many restaurants it can be hard to be unique but this place does a great job!

Great food, drinks and Service. The back outdoor area could be a little nice but still fine. Recommend the FIFER ORCHARDS ASPARAGUS, CHIPS, DIP & CAVIAR and the steak entree.
