    The restaurant has a really nice view, which was probably the best part of the experience. The food was okay, but the portions felt a little off. For example, there was way too much dip and not enough bread to actually enjoy it properly. The service was disappointing. Our waitress barely checked on us and came to the table late, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. It made me wonder how the service would be if the place was actually packed. When she did come by, we felt rushed instead of taken care of. Overall, it's not a place I would say you have to go out of your way to visit. But if you're nearby, it's open, and you're hungry, it's fine for a quick meal with a nice view.

    I had my first experience at Drift in Weehawken last night, and it honestly blew me away! We sat at the bar, and Charlie completely took care of us. Not only were the drinks absolutely amazing and beautifully crafted, but the service was top-notch from start to finish. Charlie was super attentive, full of great energy, and gave us some food recommendations that were spot on--everything we ordered was incredibly tasty. Great atmosphere, killer views, and phenomenal hospitality. If you go, definitely try to grab a spot at the bar and see if Charlie is working. I will absolutely be back!

    First I'd like to start off by saying what can amazing view! You have an amazing view from both inside and outside of the NYC Skyline! We were able to sit outside and take in the city lights and sounds while enjoying our delicious dinner! The inside of the restaurant was also very beautiful and breathtaking, I would highly recommend for any dinner parties or celebrations dinners! The food and drinks were very flavorful and fresh with vibrant colors and hearty portions! We also tried an alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink. They were both very tasty and the one with alcohol definitely had alcohol in it, If you know what I mean! But overall the experience was very nice the service was very accommodating and allowed us to move seats to get a better view and answered all of our questions all throughout the night! Definitely hope to go back again soon!

    I had an amazing experience at Drift in Weehawken! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline that made the whole evening feel special. The food was absolutely delicious--everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My favorite was the dover sole! The service was just as impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. You can tell the team really cares about creating a great dining experience. Between the incredible waterfront setting, great food, and top-notch service, Drift is definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend it for a date night, special occasion, or even just a relaxing dinner with friends!

    After a 6 mile walk this was the perfect spot to grab brunch. The omelet was incredible . I didn't realize it came with a salad. The salad was perfect. The dressing was light and refreshing . What is not pictured (because we ate it too fast) is the Brussels sprouts which makes the list of top 5 best Brussels I've ever had. Also the chicken apple sausage which is made in house. It has a little unexpected kick to it that I like...not spicy but seasoned veryyyy well! The deserts ...you can't go wrong. I would say the bread pudding is a little on the dry side which I wasn't expecting . I usually like a softer center but the flavor is delicious and the caramel it comes with is nice . I recommend cutting it open and pouring the caramel inside as opposed to on top. We had a new waitress. We were her first table and minus a mishap with bill, she was very pleasant. You can tell the staff is close knit and supportive . We sat at the center at the tables that spin which was a nice touch. Great place ! I look forward to trying dinner

    Drift is a very promising new spot with great interiors and polite servers. We ended up sitting at the revolving booths, which was a unique experience as we caught glances of the entire restaurant and the waterfront, which kept our dining experience exciting. However, we kept count and 3+ passerby's almost tripped by us because of the arrangement - something needs to be done about this. Here's what we ordered: - Spicy Vodka Rigatoni (4/5) - well portioned, excellent cook on the pasta, luscious sauce and a generous drizzle of parm. Almost perfect, just not "spicy". - Paccheri Pasta (5/5) - perfection! The milk braised pork was tender, the cook on the pasta exquisitely al dente, the sauce was creamy, the balsamic drizzle complemented the dish so very well, and the garnish of the shallot crunch was a master stroke. Again, well portioned. - Apple Bread Pudding (4.5/5) - every mouthful was very cozy and comfortable. Almost a 5/5, but the bread pudding could've been served warmer. Others on the table ordered, which I tasted: - Margherita Flatbread (3/5) - could have been better. Maybe the other flatbread options had more to give. This was not the best representation. Meh. - Arancini (3/5) - not bad, but not very crispy on the outside and not much depth to it. I can see myself go back for the pasta dishes and to try more recommendations from our server who had a great grasp of the menu.

    I just wanted to update my previous review, because this time I went back to celebrate my birthday and it couldn't have been more perfect! I had already been here for brunch before and thought it would be a great idea to celebrate my birthday, and it truly was the best choice I could have made. Manager Nico was incredibly attentive, and David and Ivan prepared everything with so much care and attention. The hospitality was beyond anything I expected!!! my friends were all impressed by the quality, the warm service, the beautiful view, and simply everything about the evening. It was honestly the perfect birthday celebration with my friends. If I already loved this place before, now I'm even more impressed and grateful for the wonderful experience. Everything was just perfect!

    Drift has a great location with a magnificent view of Manhattan. We took advantage of the beautiful day and sat outside for a late lunch. Food was ok overall, not over the top. Service was lacking. Not sure if they are under- staffed but it was not busy at all. The interior is modern/sleek and was completely unoccupied at 4:30 on a Friday. We had the lunch special: Squash soup Flatbread Margherita Blood orange sorbet Plus a sushi roll Come here for ambiance, drinks and a few pickings.

    Ricotta an focaccia

    Did takeout. Wanted to try it out before commuting to a reservation due to negative reviews. Sadly I do agree that it is overpriced and I will not be dining in. However the vibe and service was nice (take into consideration I did not dine in). See photo of ricotta appetizer and 3 small pieces of focaccia.. ricotta flavor was rich, creamy, flavorful. Focaccia was fine after heating up a little but definitely could have used more focaccia

    Spicy rigatoni vodka pasta  Perfect level of spice , very flavorful and saucy 9.5/ 10

    Service was great our waitress was very helpful with explaining the things we asked about on the menu I enjoyed every part of my meal especially the apple and pear bread pudding dessert The restaurant was beautiful inside and had a great view of the city from each angle of the restaurant Highly recommend this restaurant

    American @ Weekhawken, NJ We had mother's day brunch around 1:30pm. For appetizers we ordered ceasars salad and potato croquettes and they were very tasty. But it took more that 1.5hours for our entrees to come out. The roasted chicken were moist and paired nicely with polenta and wild mushroom s. Rigatoni in spicy vodka sauce was little under seasoned and needed more grated cheese which wasn't offered. After I complained about a long wait for our entrée, the waiter and the manager offered drinks on the house which was a nice gesture. The restaurant is very huge with a nice modern atmosphere but they need to have more kitchen staff for the food to come out faster.

    Drift was such a nice vibe!!! The service was ok the girl was new and she seemed to keep forgetting a couple things. She would bring one of our drinks and forget to put in the other persons drink and there were only two of us lol. Other than that the food was good my steak was delicious! The drinks were good as well. The Brussels were the star of the show!!! Sooo delicious! The ambience was very date night friendly. The place is also pretty big. I would go back!

A diverse space that is as much a spot for business as it is for the Party as the DJ stand indicates. Oh, and gold. Gold everywhere. Super fun spot that still maintains super crisp, clean program.

My only two gripes with the spot were - they didn't acknowledge my birthday, even with a happy birthday from my server or the hostess. I am not sure why Resy prompted me to indicate the occasion if it wouldn't even be acknowledged or looked at. It obviously feels good to feel celebrated, so they dropped the ball in this regard. The second issue is it got sickeningly loud inside. This was a sunday night, and I ended up having to shout just to be heard by the girl right next to me. Everything else was good! Though there wasn't a dish that just blew my mind, everything was consistently really good and enjoyable. I recommended ordering a handful of dishes and sharing with a group. The cornstar martini was fun (and the popcorn was great!), the vodka pasta, caesar salad, and truff fries were enjoyable as well. The cute matchboxes were a cherry on top as we were leaving! I would come back for more of a going out event instead of a sit down dinner, but it's a cool spot!

We thought mini golf was interactive, everyone had the same chance to play and it's simple enough without exerting too much energy (unlike an escape room or the dancing tiles which I also came across in my research). Great place for friends, families, dates of all ages. We checked in on the ground floor (also have a coat check here) and were told they have a cabin themed course on the 2nd floor and a museum themed course on the 3rd floor, but there was a party going on. They also told us about the rooftop lounge, which is covered with plastic and they have heaters blasting the space. We went with the cabin themed. Although I don't think they completely blocked the 3rd floor with the party, we just didn't want to have to compete with others and wanted a quiet experience. They have stairs or an elevator. Once we got to the 2nd floor, we were the only ones there and were explained how the digital scoring works. We inputted our names, and our scoreboard would follow us from board to board in sequence after we all punched in our scores. The max was 6 putts per course to help keep things moving (we definitely played more than 6 on some courses lol). The courses did progressively get more challenging as you moved on. The decor was beautiful. Fairy lights lined the space with murals or a ski lodge/mountains around with a polar bear and a ski mobile. Many cute photo ops. On the last course, once you made it, the game swallowed your ball, I guess to help prevent you from trying to play the course again. I wish there was more than 9 courses though. It was fun enough but maybe having a few more would have helped fill the time more. Time flew by and we had lots of laughs. Would be excited to come back to try the museum course next time.
