    It was the best filet mignon w truffle butter steak we’ve ever had, along with the braised mushroom. That sweet potatoe bread with the Japanese herb butter was heavenly!! We also appreciated Joe’s service and the hostess, from Germany’s extra service too. She went over and beyond and picked out our booth table to make it special for us for my wife’s birthday. Thank you Ron L

    As we look around at the new selection of restaurants in the Channelside District, it has now become clear that Driftlight has found the best balance of food, service and ambiance. While fine dining is expensive these days for reasons not the fault of restaurants, Driftlight manages to provide value while delivering quality. Keep up the good work Driftlight and we’ll keep coming back!
