    margarita
    Eileen D.

    Okay, so first off -- the food here really is very yummy, and the portions are definitely on the bigger side. No complaints there. It's a nice spot to bring family or friends, and we did have a good time overall. My daughter even got a virgin margarita (don't worry -- virgin, of course), and she looked absolutely adorable in the picture I took. It was a cute moment and honestly one of the highlights. Also, the atmosphere got a little noisy, which made it hard to fully relax and enjoy the meal. Nothing terrible, just things I notice.

    Evidence

    FRAUD!! Beware!!! They are scamming customers. After an average meal, I received a bill that stated 3.2% credit card fee yet I was charged over 6% for the credit card fee on the bill. Who knows how long this has been going on. This is fraud!

    Gator Tacos
    Dara B.

    As I was waiting for my car to be serviced, I decided to stop at Baha Cafe for lunch. The staff were very friendly, stopping by to ask how everything was. I ordered the Gator Tacos and a side of Queso. The tacos had a kick to them, some spice in the sauce. The ambiance was very Mexican and the windows had art work on them which blocked out the light, it was dark inside. The bar area is very small. I feel a remodel of the interior would lighten up the inside. There are parking spots to the front and side.

    I had to dowse it with hot sauce to get some kind of flavor... ugh

    Ohh what a disappointment! I have eaten here with friends several times over the past 8 years and hadn't been in at least a year. My hubs and I went on a Saturday night. The service was pretty bad. They were busy but no waiting line. The Salsa tasted like something out of a jar. Very ketchupy. The chips were stale and not hot. The food was gawd awful.. they used to make a shredded beef taco in a handmade crispy corn taco shell. They sent out two shredded shoe leather tacos in a premade hard shell. The meat was tasteless and the shells were worse. The beans had no flavor, tasted like they were out of a can and the rice tasted previous frozen. To say the least, it's not Mexican food. Not much different than Taco Bell but pricier. Done.

    Another favorite restaurant of mine in south Florida! Fortunately, it was not busy for a table of 4 on a Saturday night. All dishes are served with complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa is mild, but full of flavors. Server was kind and patient. I ordered a Tostada Grande (with ground beef) and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was mixed together perfectly. Restaurant is very colorfully decorated. A great spot if you're looking for affordable Mexican food!

    Cheese quesadillas!! Yum

    What a treat! Our first time here & we were greeted so warmly and with such genuine hospitality I always gauge my meal by the salsa ...and the warm chips & delicious salsa get 10 stars! They have salsa verde too for $2.29 yet I didn't know there was a charge for that until I received the bill. Our lunch was delicious and we ate everything!! Look forward to our return...many times in the future!

The interior has the beautiful ambiance of a high-end cigar lounge paired with an incredible bar. They have an enormous selection of great bourbons, whiskeys, and some truly phenomenal tequilas. There is also a great lounging area in the back with plenty of TVs--they had the March Madness games on while we were there, but I could easily see this being the go-to spot for Sunday football or just a place to relax any day of the week. We chose to sit outside, where the vibe felt like a perfect local hangout. We met some great people who mentioned they are regulars, which says a lot about the atmosphere. While we originally only planned to stop by for a drink or two before heading to dinner, we ended up staying much longer because we were having so much fun. A huge plus is their Happy Hour, which runs until 7 PM every day--at that point, why would we go anywhere else? I can't recall the bartenders' names, but they were all super friendly and accommodating. A few friends tried the specialty cocktails and said they were fantastic. We tried their feature shot per the bartenders recommendation, the "Hello Good Night." It was hands down the best shot I've ever had--I would honestly return just for that! They also had an extensive beer selection. I highly recommend this bar to anyone living in the area or just visiting. We will definitely be back!

I unfortunately forgot her name, but she took our order right away. We ordered a Long Island, Pineapple Margarita, Shrimp Cocktail, and Ceviche Mixto. The food was a bit of a letdown. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet our food took a while to come. The shrimp cocktail comes with 6 shimps. I was really disappointed with the ceviche. It had no flavor, and I had to ask for salt, pepper, and hot sauce just to give it some taste. The bowl was large, but the actual portion of ceviche was not. I definitely left still hungry. I will say, the location is beautiful. The restaurant sits right by the ocean, and there are areas with fireplaces that create a nice atmosphere. After eating, you can walk toward the pier,which is near the hotel. Since this was my first time in the area, I'm not sure what time it normally closes. Overall, I think the views and atmosphere are the best part, but the food definitely needs some improvement.

I came specifically to try one of their burgers after hearing that they compete in local burger competitions, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Easily one of the best burgers I've had in Boca, and honestly one of the better ones I've had in South Florida. The rest of the food was just as impressive. We started with the charcuterie board, which was a huge hit for the table, and also tried several different wing flavors. Every one we had was excellent, and the portions across the board were very generous. We also ordered the Greek salad, and they did not hold back on the feta. It came with a massive block of feta on top, and even as someone who isn't normally a big salad person, I ended up eating a good amount of it. The drinks deserve their own mention too. Having an in-house mixologist really shows, and the cocktails were one of the highlights of the night. We finished everything off with a slice of cheesecake, which was the perfect way to end the meal. Drift is definitely a hidden gem in Boca. Great food, huge portions, excellent drinks, and a burger that is absolutely worth making the trip for. We'll definitely be back.
