Went tonight it was the worst bolognese I ever had pasta undercooked they didn't give bread or salad over priced no meat in the sauce the waitress Mary was nice but not worth the 500.$ we spent read more

A solid dining choice if you find yourself in the Revere Beach area. If you like Shrimp scampi, their shrimp scampi pasta is a good choice, and what I personally liked is they do half portions which filled me up perfectly. Their seasonal chopped salad though, wow, super tasty, didn't even need a fish/meat addition, it was really delicious just as is, would definitely recommend if you enjoy a good salad. My dining companions also really enjoyed their food choices. Their drinks are interesting, and good but on the weak side, it was honestly more of a mocktail and for the price, I wish I had gotten a beer or wine instead. Service was good, ambiance is great with a sleek modern feel, would definitely dine here again. read more

Dryft is right by Revere Beach so you can get a nice view of the beach and sunset. Our family came here for a weekday dinner and sat outside. We ordered a few appetizers: fried calamari, burrata and grilled octopus. The highlight was the grilled octopus: grilled perfectly, good portion size, and a great sauce that went along with it. The fried calamari was ok, we all wished it was crispier and it was slightly chewy. I got the dryft burger that was good. I asked for a medium rare and it was slightly on the rare side. The fries were the best: perfect amount of crisp. My partner got the roasted half chicken on the brick, which was good. The skin was thin, crispy and seasoned. You can't go wrong with it, but personally not something I would recommend. Overall, good portions and appropriate prices for being near the water. The music is slightly loud. Service was decent. Careful when drinking wine outside because bugs like to take a swim in it. We asked for another glass since there were 2-3 bugs in it, which the waitress saw herself, and they still charged us for the new glass. At the end of the night, there were at 10+ bugs in the first glass. read more

Dryft is the place to be! Great food! Great location right across from Revere beach, great ambiance both inside and outside with the outdoor bar and seating. Great views! Food is amazing especially the street corn appetizer dish - so good!! Also the lobster roll, burrata and crab cake - all fantastic. Fish entree dishes were great. We've been here 3 times already and everything has been great! Most recently this summer and it was really nice to sit outside. Service is friendly, and always good to make reservations especially on the weekend. Highly recommend! Go here now! read more

We had the chance to visit Dryft twice over the past couple of weeks when overnighting in Boston enroute to and from Milan, Italy. Both visits were good. The place tends to be a bit noisy, with music and conversation, the acoustics in the place don't dampen the sound at all. But, that was a minor distraction. The cocktails were excellent both times! The food is also good. Both visits included the clam chowder, which was the best we had in Boston! The first visit entrees included the lobster roll and the grilled swordfish, both were very good. Dessert was a decadent chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Delicious. During the second visit, the entrees were lobster tail, watermelon salad and the scallops. All good as well. Decent wine list. Service is good. We would go back if in the area again. Recommend Dryft, Revere, MA! read more

Oh, burb. I recently dined at Dryft.  A dear friend lives nearby. So we selected Dryft for dinner - as that makes sense to do when you are near a restaurant at dinnertime and are hungry for food. Also, I probably won't be back. Overall, Dryft receives a "B-" for my visit to the establishment. For me, the spot just didn't hit 'da spot' - you know?... Like, I wuz underwhelmed but oddly satisfied at the same time. Things were meh meh meh / ok ok ok.  There's an outdoor patio bar where servers might sometimes serve humans who are sitting in that area, I think. Tip: if you sit out there for nearly 30 minutes without receiving any service, you can move indoors to the actual restaurant and experience more of that similar service. That's what I did! The atmosphere was a lil' vibey but not overly vibey - comparable to: 'Hey, it feels new-ish in this establishment & some parts of the restaurant feel somewhat eclectic. Are we in Seattle or is this just still Revere?'   The cuisine was good and the presentation was elevated and chic.  The actual chow was comparable to cuisine that you would ingest from, say, 110 Grill. And the kitchen thoughtfully plated the chow on minimalist stoneware - which felt fancy fancy fancy + chic chic chic. I dined on the Mahi Mahi entree. The portion was sizable (no complaints from this pig) and it was cooked to perfection. I ate it all. It was tasty.  There's also a giant portrait of a fish on the wall in this restaurant. It is artistic + mesmerizing. It is the perfect backdrop for those devouring a cooked fish. read more

We had a very nice dinner in mid July. The breeze off the ocean was very pleasant and a perfect setting for an evening out. Service was friendly and efficient. We started with grilled octopus, flushed by the summer lavender cocktail and Miraval rose. Scallops with roasted vegetable and blackened mahi mahi were outstanding. Panna cotta and espresso closed the adventure. One of my best restaurant experiences in 2024. read more

Great outside seating area. The service was spot on. The presentation of the food was unfortunately much better than the food. I had the grilled swordfish, which was well plated. The fish itself was not fishy but lacked any real flavor. I would definitely go back and try something else. So many things looked amazing at tables around me. Yes .... I had food envy.

This place is always a top tier for drinks and their new summer menu enticed me to try the food again. The shrimp limoncello pasta dish was so damn good. With six truly jumbo shrimp and incredible flavor, the creaminess of the pasta, the gremolata, all so so delicious. In terms of shrimp dishes in greater Boston I'd say this only competes with joes waterfront. I could eat ten today but I'd be the size of the sandcastles outside. It's very filling and while very expensive, I think worth every penny. The outside patio is also always a vibe with outdoor bar and outdoor normal tables. It's a really nice classy but in a good way not a geriatric way vibe inside. read more

We had a very positive experience here. Really enjoyed the fried calamari and the Chicken Parmesan. Our waiter made good recommendations.

I came in today for lunch and sat at the bar. I was greeted promptly by Mary. She made my lunch very enjoyable. She had great recommendations about her favorites and I trusted her and was not disappointed. I had the tuna nachos to start and the fish and chips for my entree. It was a great afternoon and I got a good laugh when I walked in as it was Halloween and the staff was dressed great! I will absolutely be back. read more

Not far from Boston. Yes, it's in Revere and Yes, I love this place!! Love the location being up on the 2nd floor with the different view aspect of our beloved Revere Beach and looking the opposite direction of the stylish modern interior of Dryft. The creative atmosphere is inviting and unique menu choices including everything from my precious and favorite fried clams (I'm serious about fried clams) to perfectly blackened seared salmon, fresh salads and seafood , perfectly prepared pasta dishes, great shareables and never say no desserts. We had a large dinner party and the servers made us feel like we were the only table they were taking care of that evening. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've been to Dryft a few times for work events and they have been very accommodating each time of our large group. Service is attentive and on top of things. I always look forward to trying a new cocktail from their large drink menu and have yet to be disappointed. The despiértame is one of the top 3 espresso martinis I've ever had. As far as food, I prefer the raw bar and starters over the entree selection. I haven't been disappointed with any appetizers and loved the lobster roll I had once but wasn't impressed with the salmon last time I went. ALWAYS order the truffle fries. They are never not worth it. read more

Brunch at with the prettiest beach views. The restaurant was pretty empty at noon on a Saturday but was packed by 1 pm. The feuilletine French toast was excellent--crispy outside and custardy inside. The berry coulis was very yummy. Service was great throughout. Upscale feeling with reasonable prices. Would come back if I lived closer. read more

We would have given 5 stars except the extremely snobby horrible hostesses. Our server was wonderful and the food was great. We were in for lunch today (sunday) I checked in at the station and asked if there was a seat available outside in the shade. She acted put out but led us to a table in the sun. We tried to make it work but its hot today. I went back in and asked for one of the many seats outside in the shade or to come inside. The blonde and the brunette were very rude and rolled eyes but moved us. We wont be back. read more

Really good clam chowder and risotto, the chicken chopped salad was also delicious with a healthy portion of chicken. The bartender was our server and was great, kept asking how we were doing. Inside has very neat seating and bar top with a decent view of the ocean. Will definitely come back again to try more options. read more

Fantastic option at Revere Beach with great portion sizes for the price compared to when you get in the city! We waited about 30 minutes for a walk in and at first were seated next to the speakers which were painfully loud but our server was able to move us to another table outside! The music was still too loud to have a comfortable conversation and later a live musician came on and made the speakers even louder so the dining experience was a bit stressful but the food was great! Beet salad - wonderfully seasoned and dressed roasted beets and arugula, whipped ricotta with mint that was refreshing, pecans for crunch, and crispy shoestring potato for more texture! It feels like they put effort in each component of this dish - all for $13! 4.5/5 Grilled octopus - tender meat, slightly gummy skordalia, meaty chorizo sauce. Solid! 3.5/5 Sausage rigatoni - this is the small portion but it's still bigger than most pastas I've had at other restaurants! I loved the addition of peas that added pops of freshness along with the bright ricotta, all to a balance out the sausage, which they weren't stingy with! 3.5/5 A LARGE pile of Brussels sprouts bravas - spicy tomato sauce, perfectly soft sprouts with a little crisp remaining, garlic aioli, breadcrumbs and almonds for extra crunch. Another $13 delight! 4/5 read more

We went there for late dinner on Friday night. While my husband was looking for parking, and I went straight to the place. First of all, our table had only one set of fork and knife despite for reservation for two. No one approached me for the next 15 minutes to offer me a glass of water or ask if I want to order drink. Our waitress (very nice and pleasant) shown up only when my husband finally arrived. While we were waiting for drinks, I noticed that something really small (like small bug) moving on the table - and yes, it was some small creature like a baby cockroach. They keep lighting low - even with the phone light isn't easy to take a clear picture . Our waitress offered us to change a table. So, one of the plates there wasn't clean, it had some small pieces of leftover food on it. My husband ordered ceviche and clam chowder, and I ordered Faroe Island salmon. My husband's food was ok but nothing special or outstanding. I would say it was a regular food. The salmon was ok but the combination of glazed salmon and spicy shrimp rice was weird. It is like mix Chinese food and something else. The shrimp rice was spicy and glazed salmon alone was flavorful which would be much better off with some more traditional side dish such as mashed potato. To my taste, food wasn't great at all. In addition, if you miss your reservation time, this place charge you $15...No, I wouldn't recommend it - overpriced for any category... read more

It was such a good first experience at Dryft! We only got to experience three appetizers because we did not realize that the portions were quite big and we were so stuffed by the end of it, which is not a bad thing at all! I love trying Calamari from different restaurants and Dryft's definitely up there! We also ordered the Tuna Nachos and Truffle Fries, which were both equally delicious. Our drinks were amazing and everything came out in a timely manner and to add on, we absolutely adore our server, Stephanie. She was so attentive, helpful, and provided such a great experience for our first time there. Special thanks to Chef Adriano, who we've learned, made our food. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Dryft to anyone who's passing by the beach and unsure where to grab a bite or a drink. We'll definitely be back! read more

All I can say is, I am so happy I live within walking distance from this incredible restaurant. And if you're not as lucky as I am, make the trip. Trust me you will not be disappointed & you will for sure be coming back again. Set right on the historic Revere Beach, Dryft has brought forth & introduced a brand new dining atmosphere and experience to Revere for everyone to enjoy. With incredible views, impeccable service and exquisite food, this eatery has it all and delivers it all in abundance. Been here many times for brunch, lunch & dinner and simply cannot wait for my next visit. Give me all the foods!!! FEUILLETINE FRENCH TOAST Hands down one of the best French Toast dishes I've ever had. Served with berry coulis, fresh fruits & whipped cream, you are going to want to lick the whole plate. The French Toast itself is cooked beautifully while soft on the inside and this amazing crunch around the edges of the bread. STEAK & EGGS This dish tends to always be my go to dish for brunch at any place. And at Dryft is a staple. Steak is alway cooked at the perfect temperature requested medium rare with a delicious drizzle of Housemade chimichurri. Served with two exceptionally poached eggs over two lightly toasted English Muffins & a side of home fries. Seriously cannot go wrong with this dish. CRAB AND LOBSTER BENEDICT Need I say more??!! The crab cakes are delicious topped with a delicious & generous portion of lobster over poached eggs and incredible hollandaise. Oh & nicely thin slice of avocado!!! You cut through this dish, and it's pure magic with an extraordinary flavor profile. So if you like seafood for brunch, highly recommend. OYSTERS Daily selection from their Raw Bar. My beloved and I cannot get enough of them. Pro tip...!!! Oysters & Cocktails at Dryft make for a perfect first date! Trust me I speak from experience. CHICKEN "UNDER A BRICK You've never had chicken like this. An insanely generous portion of chicken cooked perfectly with a very nice crunch on the outside, but soft & moist on the inside. You get to enjoy this dish with mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, chicken jus. SCALLOPS Cooked & prepared with corn ragu, smoked bacon jam. You can tell a lot about any give restaurant on what their scallop dish is like. And Dryft does not miss a step. The Scallops are cooked beautifully and prepared perfectly with the smoked bacon jam that just delivers an explosive flavor leaving you wanting for more. It's an absolute must try. All in all, Dryft has become a staple in the Revere community and have made their mark. I hope to see them grow beyond what they've already accomplished. read more

Dryft is such a gem the food is solid, the location is ideal (right by Revere Beach and attached to luxury apartments), and the overall vibe is great. Parking can be a little tricky, but once you're inside it's worth it. What truly sets this place apart is the service. Our server Phil was outstanding. He struck the perfect balance between friendly and professional great with small talk, super knowledgeable about the menu and drinks, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Right before last call, he made sure we were all set, but never rushed us. Even when we lingered a bit after, we never felt pressured to leave. Phil was honestly a breath of fresh air, especially after having a terrible server elsewhere the day before. He completely turned our night around! Service like that is what makes a place memorable. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dryft! The food is phenomenal, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere can't be beat! Every visit is a great experience. Each and every one of the servers are just lovely! They are extremely knowledgeable of the menu and are all quick to give advise on the menu, which we LOVE! We have a 4 year old that they treat like gold! The team makes every visit fun for her with special little touches. She is welcomed with warm hugs and big smiles. As a parent, that is just the BEST! Dryft has quickly become our favorite local restaurants, for family visits and for date nights. The food is just soooo good! Some of our favorites are the tuna nachos, wings, mussels, chicken under a brick, steak frites and of course the mahi. The mahi is sooooooooooooooooo good! Everything that we have ever had there is fresh and tasty! You can't go wring with anything from the menu! Lisa and her team go above and beyond to make for a great dining experience every time! Go to Dryft! You won't regret it!! read more

Here for an update. First of all my complaints were acknowledged which is always nice. Went for a date night with my husband and we had a great experience this time. Food was great. I had scallops and my husband went with the ribeye, both delicious. We will chalk up last experience to an off night. Service was very good, waitress was attentive despite it being a busy night.

There was nothing about our visit we didn't enjoy, but to preface we came on a weeknight so weekenders be aware it could get busy! It was my bfs birthday and with no reservation or plan we called up Dryft and they said they take walk-ins and they were not too busy. We were there in about 25 minutes and it looked a little packed, but luckily there were still about 5 tables open. We were seated inside and perused the menu. The type of food I would say is seafood and American with options like pastas, burgers and some great looking seafood. We both got some cocktails to start, the Passaflora and the Love Potion. I had the love potion and my god it was so good. Sweet, fruity and dangerous. I had two (which I never have two drinks for dinner) and it was worth every penny. For food we started with the mussels which was not your typical mussels. It had gorgonzola cheese and cherry tomatoes with bacon....odd! But those combinations worked! The cheese provided a more loaded and powerful bite which paired well with the broth of the mussels and semi-sweetness of the tomatoes. Also, these mussels were huge and very well cleaned! Only one piece had some sand/grit it in, but the rest were very clean! Can't say that about most mussels we've ordered in the past. For mains I got the bolognese and he got the burger. The Bolognese....was so good. Almost too good for a small restaurant on the beach. It came pipping hot, large pieces of pasta cooked al-dente and loaded with a meat/veggie sauce. Also, a lot of parmesan cheese. I couldn't believe how tasty it was, it almost rivaled other Italian specific restaurants I've been to. The burger was also tasty! The caramelized onions added a nice punch of flavor to the meat. We ended up not getting dessert since we were too full but the options sounded great! I can't wait to go back. It is slightly pricey, but for the view, the food and the drinks? I'd come back again and again! read more

So disappointing. First and last time here. Had a reservation and was told there was no outside seating available even though there were tables not being used. Waited for about 30 minutes only to see a white family that arrived after us get an open table. When we finally did get a table, it was the worst spot possible. Wedged in a corner with no view. Pretty sure it was done intentionally. One of the younger (teenage) hostesses was super rude right off the bat. Definitely be prepared to have a side of bitchy attitude served with everything. None of the staff wore masks. The waitresses came unnecessarily close to us when taking our order. No concept of personal space, especially considering covid. Very bizarre. The food was ok. Lots of items have pork in them, so watch out if you eat kosher or halal. The food was definitely not worth the price. Ended up paying $35 (with tax & tip) for a shrimp salad and a tiny glass of soda water (no refill offered). There's no parking for the restaurant unless you're a Revere resident and can park on that street. Otherwise you have to use paid street parking by the beach. read more
