   The food at this restaurant is excellent! I had the Virginia oysters on the half shell which were tiny, but very fresh, sweet and delicious. Others had the beet salad and crab hush puppies which I tasted and again fresh and delicious. 2 of us had the seared scallops which melted in our mouths. All the flavors of the sauce, the apples , cashews etc blended wonderfully. It was rich and satisfying. One person had the swordfish and reported it was also delicious. The restaurant is very small and my only complaint was that it was very loud which I have a hard time with. After I saw the outdoor seating area I was wishing we had been out there as it would have been quieter. It is mostly closed in and had a heater so we probably would not have been cold. All in all I highly recommend this restaurant.

   We had a delicious anniversary dinner and wine. My husband had the duck Paparelli and I had the cooked to perfection local scallops. We shared the cured salmon small plate. Everything was delightful, service with a smile, and a special card for our anniversary.

   DRIFT Seafood & Raw Bar is simply exceptional. We moved to Rehoboth Beach from New York City and every time we eat at DRIFT, we talk about how lucky we are that restaurants like DRIFT are here. There are several "NYC-quality" restaurants in the area, but we get to pay Delaware prices and experience friendly Rehoboth Beach service. We are so grateful that Chef Tom Wiswell and his team are here at the beach!

   Outstanding wine dinner! Chef Kyle's food pairings were delicious and spot on, deserving to be placed on the daily menu and the service provided by our waiter Danny superb.

   No restaurant in Rehoboth comes close to the quality of food and drinks.

    Fun place with excellent food. Enjoyed the owners other place Bodhi more however--Waiter forgot one of our diner's small plates. Food delivery time was oddly spaced out. Unfortunately the four top patrons next to us were wasted and loud, in an already loud restaurant. If I had to choose again, I'd spend my time at Bodhi.
