I was told that I needed reservations, there was a lot of empty tables, good, who cares. honored by a beautiful waitress, but then it was said that we can't order apps until we ordered the dinner, never had that happen. long wait. then it took an hour to get food. Huhn. I ordered chickens, come on. the waitress felt bad and asked us to broth, gave us these sad pieces. the dinner finally came after he was composed a glass of wine. blah food.

I sung at drift 82 with employees during a trip to long island. the weather was perfect. the oysters were large (pure and salty), how cold water should be oyster. I recommend it very much!

The Oysters Rockefeller were amazing, filled with bacon, cheese, and spinach. The Lamb chops were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and you could pick them up like a lollipop. The Steak tidbits were even more impressive, with bite-sized, tender beef that was easy to chew. They were seasoned with a sauce that was so delicious, you'll want to lick it up.

The lamb chop appetizer and calamari were great appetizers to share. I really enjoyed my mahi mahi prepared in a garlic wine sauce and my daughter enjoyed her lobster ravioli. The only thing that was disappointing was their award winning bisque. It was bland with only one chunk of seafood. I 've had much better elsewhere. But everything else was delicious. It is ala carte, so it can get pricy, but we had a lovely dinner.

Last time I was there, for 1 app, 2 entrees, and a bottle of wine, with a dessert to share, it cost us $280!! Drift, you are not THAT good. Chill with your prices. They are way too high. People are upset.

Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars was I felt the menu could 've offered just a little more. The place wasn 't packed by any means but I could see if it was, parking could be an issue here. We skipped appetizers and went right toordering entrees. The lobster mac was good but could use more lobster. The sauce was creamy and had a great cheddar flavor. The lobster stuffed ravioli was just okay and my nephews chicken fingers were perfect. My sister in law opted for the lobsterbisque, she said it was delicious and the Caesar salad which was huge! I decided to just go with the calamari. That too wasdelicious, wonderfully crisp batter over succulent squid and the marinara sauce was very good. After seeing another tablesorder of scallops being delivered I realized that was what i should have ordered. It normally would have been, but when thechef came over to go through the specials with us, his lackluster description just couldn 't get me there. Everyone agreed thedrinks were cold and tasty and the usual offerings of dessert, cheesecake, tiramisu etc just didnt ring any bells so we declineddessert. All in all, a great place to stop in for dinner. They had a live one man band who sounded pretty good but theacoustics weren 't great and honestly, this place had some incredibly loud diners. If you 're in the area and have a hankeringfor seafood, in a place on the docks, Drift 82 is it.

Sat at the seats next to the Tiki Bar, had an extremely limited menu (maybe 5 items and the rest raw bar. Had the steak tidbits and calamari, both were very good. They had a band playing aswell. Will go back, and make reservations first. Nice spot on the water with good food.

Outdoor seating was awesome facing the Marina. Food was fresh and tasty. My Seabass dish was really nice. The scallops my friend had was equally tasty, not rubbery, cooked to perfection. Only drawback was the service which wasextremely slow. We had Calamari starters which was yummy then had to wait almost 40 mins for our entrées. Other than this,I’d say definitely worth a visit for the scenery and fresh tasting seafood.
