What Shania Lesch likes about Drift on the Esplanade:
I chose to eat here because we had received a ten dollar off coupon for not having our room made one day. Ordered a burger for 19 dollars and after the discount it made for one of the most affordable meals I had had in the entire trip.Large portion, tasty fries, nicely plated. View all feedback. What Walker Watsica doesn't like about Drift on the Esplanade:
Had dinner here on Saturday night. We both ordered steak, medium rare. What we received was a chewy, overcooked offering. We left most of it and had dinner elsewhere. For the price we were expecting something better.The drinks were lovely, ordered a Long Island iced tea. Stop for drinks, as it is a lovely setting right on the Esplanade but have dinner elsewhere.

Next to the ocean, fresh air and chilled drink were a great night for New Year night! A bit pricey but it was great location and service.
Great bar. Perfect spot to have a drink and watch the world go by.
Massive thumbs up for this place. Bit pricey but worth it
Stunning location for outdoor activities
