Really liked this place. We had a booth near the live music which was quite nice. Our server was very good. Extremely efficient. The salmon was very good and I thought the value was excellent.

At 7.30 we entered a very full restaurant, but were shown to a small booth near the corner stage where a duo were singing. Most tables had large plates of very appealing food and so we ordered..........................and we waited, and waited and I could see the serving top where my food was, and still we waited. When it was eventually... More

This restaurant is right on 101, but we walked there from our favorite place, Overleaf Lodge. The history of the place is wonderful, and the mercantile next door, stocked with really cool stuff well organized, is owned by the same lady. The food is very good, fresh and just a twist out of "normal" restaurant food. Bathroom is big and... More

My husband and I had dinner here together, and were treated to a musician playing acoustic instruments. Excellent seafood, and some of the best service we've ever had, expecially considering how young the two servers were that evening. Next morning we had breakfast here with relatives - again it was very good food, and outstanding service. Worth a visit for... More

I've been eating at the Drift Inn for ten years - my favorite local spot. Friendly atmosphere good (sometimes great) food and a little something for everyone on the menu. My favorites are the Chicken Strips, Burgers, and Nightly Specials when I'm feeling like something fancier. During the Summer season it can be very busy (and noisy) but that comes... More

The special, pork chops were! woefully undercooked and tough! The atmosphere was noisy, not relaxing or romantic. We will fin another place to eat next time out.

Thanks to a large complimentary breakfast at our hotel, we waited until late afternoon to have a late lunch (or early dinner). On arriving we were quickly seated, given menus, and provided with water. Given that it was a warm day, the Cobb salad was very appealing. Our orders soon appeared and were more than ample. The decor was most... More

Stopped in for a quick early dinner one night. Burger was ok, teriyaki shrimp bowl was ok. Bar food in a quirky setting. Better options than this are available
