Driftwood

"We a party of 2 had a 7 pm reservation on Saturday night and we got seated right away. I sent back my first specialty drink as it tasted like medicine. The second was much better. The online menu did not match the menu at the restaurant and that was a disappointment as there was a dish we would have ordered. In this day and age of online presence there is no excuse for not keeping up with a website. Overall the appetizers were great. My Wahoo for $36 was small in portion and kind of tough and smokey so I did not really enjoy it. I did not bother to send it back. The other dish was a mushroom vegetable dish and was very good in portion and flavor. The service was very good, however the booth seat I was in was extremely lumpy and I had a hard time finding a comfortable position. The other side of the table seat was ok and not lumpy. Overall it was very good but the fish dish I ordered was really small in portion and being a fisherman and having the freshest of fish, I could not tell that it was really Wahoo. The sweet potato was very good but not much of it. If I go back I would skip the entrées and just get the appetizers and small plates."

"Wow. What a fancy place to dine! We didn't have reservations and we could have used them. The restaurant was very busy. We were lucky enough to get seated outdoors. I wish I could remember the name of our server because she deserves special recognition. I was so impressed with her knowledge of the menu, which changes to some extent every night. Same thing can be said about her knowledge of the wine list. We had the deviled eggs and the truffle fries for the four of us at the table. Outstanding. It's been over a week since we dined there and I cannot remember what everyone ordered. I had the Driftwood burger and it came prepared as requested, a perfect Medium Rare. We ended up staying quite a while, moving indoors after our server was nice enough to find us a spot, as it was an unusually chilly night. Had such a great time. I'm visiting my brother from out of state and I've never dined so elegantly! The staff definitely had there "A" game on. Despite the large crowd of diners, they moved swiftly and fluidly throughout the place , not missing a beat and attending to everyone with sharp professionalism."

"Ive lived in FL all my life and in Boynton for 5 years and had not been to Driftwood until last week. Recommended by my colleague, I showed up with no reservation and luckily they had a table available. All of the food uses seasonal ingredients from local sources so the menu changes from time to time. I had the free range chicken which was probably the best cooked chicken I’ve ever had. Their milk bread was amazing, perfectly paired with a side cinnamony butter and regular butter. Highly recommend passing by Driftwood if youre trying to eat something gourmet that doesnt break the bank."

"Driftwood is a hidden gem, with an excellent menu. Corn ribs were outstanding as well as one of the best burgers in southern Florida. Roasted chicken was also a standout. On return visit last night, had the Pate’( a little gamey for me, used to duck Pate’) very good. The standout of the evening was the Ribeye, really amazing grass fed tender and cooked perfect for my taste, truly surpassing many fine steakhouses. Cornbread stuffed chicken thighs (special) was akin to a chicken meatloaf, very good. Cesare salad (special) was excellent, chef taking a very creative approach to this ubiquitous offering. Smoked old fashioned was a perfect pairing with our meal. Great having such a unique creative,small intimate restaurant close by"

"Great food, great drinks, atmosphere that feels like home.... don't hesitate. We'll be back soon for braised beef empanadas and Lost Element cocktail (so good). Also don't miss their homemade ginger beer, brewed onsite! Just a nice chill spot, a new favorite for sure."
