The food was excellent. Mary our server was wonderful, attentive, engaging and overall really sweet. Our birthday breakfast was perfect and the view of course was spectacular. We will definitely return to try some of the other offerings. The crab omelette and bloody mary I had were DEElish!! Thank you Driftwood Kitchen- for making our Birthday celebration a success.
What a great place! From the hostess to the food to our server everything was phenomenal! Oh and we sat outside and the view was AMAZING!!! We'll definitely be back and we would definitely recommend Driftwood Kitchen to all our family and friends!!!
Wonderful experience!! Food was amazing, view was spectacular and our service was friendly helpful and on point!! Can’t wait to go back!
The Mother’s Day brunch was incredible. Every dish was better than the last. Service was excellent. Our server JT was fun and accomodating taking pics for us. Overlooking the ocean we saw dolphins swimming near by and the atmosphere was just great. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you for making a special day that much better.
My friend & I enjoyed an amazing birthday breakfast overlooking the ocean with a wonderful beach setting in the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, top quality, great service & I know I will be recommending Driftwood Kitchen to all our friends. We have definitely put this fantastic restaurant at the top of our list.
The service was excellent. Our server knew great items to recommend and gave us super service. The food was delicious. The bar was very good !
Gorgeous View, food was delicious, & and our service was superb. Our server Mary was very genuine, knowledgeable, and attentive. All of the staff was extremely polite as well and helpful! I will definitely return when I visit Laguna again! Thank you Mary!
A bit hesitant because of some of the reviews posted on the negative side but was so happy to find otherwise. Our birthday girls were happy with the food and service by Mary and everyone else around! They were specially delighted with their complementary caramel toffee cake with whipped cream that was just awesome and light! I love oyster and they were fresh and sweet. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy the view and a walk on an excellent beach! Thank you all!!!
If your looking to enjoy a sunset view on the beach and dine with esquisette food... search no longer. Oysters each one more delicate and flavorful and Chilean SeaBass an absolute must!
Great service from TJ food was fantastic. I would highly recommend
There may be no better view while dining than on the balcony of Driftwood. All our meals there have been delicious.
The oysters here are fresh, and I absolutely love it! While the vibe surpasses the food, I wouldn't say no to the dishes—it's a pretty chill, brunch-styled experience with a great view. Everything is nicely shaped, making it a relaxing spot to enjoy some good food and a laid-back atmosphere.
Service was amazing and the food was a knockout. You can't beat the atmosphere and the views. The menu was well put together and had great options. Thr service was prompt and helpfull. The food was just delicious. You can't go wrong here
Solid overall experience. Service was good and ocean view was beautiful. With regards to the food:
Good:
- shrimp scampi
- Brussels sprouts
The rest:
- lobster pasta (needed more salt or flavor
- dumplings
- French fries (not great)
- Caesar salad
I’d come back more for the experience over the food. We had a drink at the Deck downstairs and that was great.
We chose this place for the sunset view and fine dining experience. We knew before coming in that the price is high so we expected the food and service quality to be up to the price. While the servers were friendly and attentive, they lost the scores by holding a glass of chilled white wine by the bowl.
We ordered plenty of food for three: tuna tartare, oysters, fries (not so good, should have trusted other reviews), scallops (loved the taste, flavor and texture but only 3 pieces on a big plate for $56), seabass(we liked this one too), and the ribeye steak (too burned).
Overall it was a good experience but not amazing.
I have a great dining experience at Driftwood. The space is casual and coastal with ridiculously views of the ocean directly under you. The food is fresh, and tasty. We shared the Octopus, Tartare, and Crudo to begin. I recommend all of these. For the main, I have the sea bass while others had the salmon, and scallops. Again, the fish was cooked perfectly, and came with amazing sauces and accompaniments. Dessert was the sticky toffee cake. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. I would definitely come back. It does get busy, so if you want a nice spot for sunset, you should call ahead.
Beautiful location overlooking the ocean, and delicious food. Pricey but worth it and not abnormal for the area. We came for dinner and had an amazing view of the sunset. Service was friendly and very helpful!
We had a lovely impromptu brunch here last Sunday. They were able to accommodate us with a last minute reservation. The scenic ocean views from the dining room are gorgeous. We enjoyed the meat and cheese charcuterie board and burger. The charcuterie board had a nice variety of meats, cheeses, nuts, and fruit. The burger was tasty and well made. My daughter loved the Caesar salad. Added bonus: the bill wasn’t out of this world even with brunch cocktails. Beautiful Oceanside dining.
Good food and good view. They were attentive with my reservation. Had a special occasion and they sat us in the best seat in the main dining room.
Only negative was the octopus was too burnt.
The atmosphere was incredible, and the food was so delicious. The only downfall is the valet. It was absolutely ridiculous!!!! They charged all 3 of us $24 to park our car for a little over 2 hours. Just because of that, I probably will not be going back. Brunch was already pricey and then they gouge you with the price of the valet.
Gorgeous location for watching sunset with super friendly staff and delicious food. Surf and turf dish was so good. The bread was amazing, highly recommended.
