    seafood platter
    Julya B.

    i love it here! i've been coming here for a couple years now & the food is always good. the service is great. today we got the watermelons salad (my favorite), and the short rid bolognese. both were fantastic. oysters are always fresh. this place is definitely overpriced, but for me to sit outside and look at the beach- it's worth it.

    What the heck is a World Cup fee???

    What a joke. Average food and I was charged a World Cup Fee!!!! WTF. Complete rip off

    Shrimp Limoncello
    Andrew P.

    GOOD ITALIAN & GOOD VIEW: I had the Shrimp Limoncello and it was an excellent dish. Great balance of flavors and the pasta tasted fresh, not heavy. Portion sizes are on the small side, so you'll probably want an appetizer if you're hungry. In the end you get solid Italian food without having to drive into the North End. The view of the water is really nice and definitely one of the draws for me to come back. There's some limited free street parking, but finding a space isn't always easy.

    Littlenecks!

    View is spectacular, food was delicious, but, dude, Italian food with no bread? Drinks are amazing!

    Lobster Roll (today's price $45) was good though
    Danilo A.

    Service was top notch. Our server, even though it was very busy, was on top of everything. The food was really good too. You get what you pay for. We started with the clam chowder and it hit the spot. It had a perfect combination of ingredients. Tasted so good. For the main we decided on the lobster roll (market price $45). It was a great choice. The crab was so good and they did not fill you up with bread. There was a lot of crab on the roll.

    Salmon Benedict & Steak and Eggs
    Carrie V.

    Brunch at Dryft was soooo good! I got the Salmon Benedict and it was delicious. Perfectly poached eggs, buttery English muffins, and the freshest smoked salmon with a creamy hollandaise that tied it all together. Also the spinach was SO good. My friend got the Steak & Eggs which she loved, but the real star for me was the espresso martini, easily one of the best I've ever had. Our server Tracy was the best! So nice and attentive. Between the ocean views and the chill brunch vibes, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

    If you want to pop in for drinks, be aware that you'll have to buy them at the bar and sit on the far side of the restaurant by the entrance. Not ideal but okay in a pinch! Check it out if you're in the area and don't need service help.

    WOW! What a spot, from the beginning to the lovely young lady greeting everyone in the entrance, to the Service from our server named Salome that went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience, to the food being perfect, from the Calamari, being fried to the perfection, seasoned BEAUTIFULLY, to the Chicken Parm being well seasoned, n moist, to my dish which was AMAZING! Ahh... Butternut Squash Puree, Chard Broccolini, Crab Stuffed Fish topped with a citrus chimichurri to finally finishing with an extraordinary two desserts! Thank U!!!

    The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing, they did a fantastic job with design elements, and there is a water view. I also found the wait stuff to be very friendly and accommodating, plus the food is very good, keep in mind that parking is on the street, so definitely budget time for that, although I do believe there is a parking garage, but I'm just not sure where it is in relation to the restaurant.

    Location is right on Revere Beach and the parking is available on Revere Beach. The food is always tastes delicious and no complaints here. This place is classy and a great place your a date on a dinner. They also served a full bar menu as well.

    Finally made it to the east coast for a little relaxation. I looked up the restaurants in walking distance. I landed on Dryft....I had the meal I wanted to try in mind. IMPRESSED is an understatement!!!! The service is great and the ambiance is chic and relaxing....the meal blew me away! Being from the midwest, I will have to pay triple for fish this fresh! If I'm ever to make it back...I'll be back for this meal hands down!

    This place is great! Seems like most patrons feel the same way…read more Food is delicious and everything is a great choice. They have rotating specials all the time, but their regular menu is so good that I just can't move away. Their smash burger is fantastic, but their salads are nice and hefty, so even if you're trying to eat light, you leave full and satisfied. Caesar salads are simple and standard everywhere, but I'm always happy with the one I get from Murray's - well dressed with a yummy cheese crisp on top. Their wings are delicious, always come out piping hot, and have a creative array of sauces. The variety of fries are impressive too and all of them are delicious (though, when are fries really not delicious?!) My favorite thing about Murray's is the front outdoor seating area. When the weather is a bit cooler, they'll turn on the gas heaters, so you can have a comfortable meal and still enjoy some fresh air. But what makes it truly my favorite is that it's dog friendly! It's always so tough to find spots that allow dogs, but Murray's staff is always so kind to us when we bring our dog with us for dinner, and they'll even bring out a bowl of water for him. Good service comes from the top, and we've met John, who is incredibly nice and friendly. Conversations with him are consistently pleasant and we love that he's always open to sharing what he knows about food and drink! The staff also provides kind, speedy service, which we definitely appreciate. The only negative about Murray's is the fact that we only found them a year ago and hate that we didn't find out about them sooner!

    Absolutely fantastic on all counts. Food, Pricing, Service and Ambiance. All of our food came to…read morethe table in minutes our server was more than friendly and the appetizers were delicious. The desert was also the best I've had in my entire week long trip across 3 states.

If you stick with the seafood, you're going to have a great meal. That said, keep in mind it is a seafood restaurant. They have chicken wings on the menu, we figured we'd get them to share until the food came out.. They were honestly terrible. The order we received came with six extremely small, overcooked pieces that were so dry and tough looking they weren't even edible. Just looking at them we didn't bother as they weren't at all appetizing. I'm not sure if it was a bad day, a supply issue, or something else entirely, but they were a complete miss. Speaking of, service can be hit or miss as well. This past weekend, we had a wonderful server who was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The visit before that, however, was the exact opposite. Our server--who seemed to be either a manager or assistant manager--spent nearly all of his time chatting up a table of women, clearly trying to get phone numbers. Trying to get his attention for anything felt like a major inconvenience. What motivated me to write this today is that not only was the service good on our latest visit, but we also tried the fried seafood instead of the usual seafood boil--and it was absolutely excellent, and not at all expensive. Both the fried shrimp plate and the fried clam plate were outstanding. If you haven't tried their fried options, or not in the mood to put on gloves and dig into a seafood boil, don't sleep on their fried seafood. It was surprisingly impressive. Overall: great seafood, inconsistent service, avoid the wings entirely, and definitely give the fried dishes a try.
