    This is one of my favorite places to dine when I visit NJ. I took the family here for a post Christmas dinner and everything was fantastic. The meal was delicious. The service was great. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

    Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!

    The food was fabulous. We loved everything about this restaurant. Also, Lilly, our waitress, was absolutely fantastic!! It was a very busy night, large holiday parties and short staffed. However, she was on point without missing a beat. I’ll most definitely return.

    We were two. One appetizer delivered hot, the other cold. Same with the main dish.Desserts were way overpriced. Wait staff did a good job.

    From the moment we were greeted to the time we were given our coats back it was an A+ experience. The food was amazing, staff was friendly and the cocktails were delicious. We were there in a Friday night so we were even able to enjoy live music. Highly recommend for a date night, work event or a family get together.
