Drift 82

Had a lovely lunch with a good friend outside under a tent. Our server was pleasant and friendly. The food was amazing and the drinks were cold. Highly recommend ***** Back to Drift today 7/13, and I wouldn't change anything on my review, except that our bartender Brianna was a gem. She was personable and made an awesome Long Island ice tea!

Drift 82 in Patchogue is an absolute gem of a restaurant that offers an unparalleled dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and cozy. But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the breathtaking views that you can enjoy while you dine. As we sat down to enjoy our meal, we were immediately struck by the stunning vista that stretched out before us. The sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the water and the surrounding landscape. It was the perfect backdrop for the delicious food that was about to come our way. We started off with the caprice salad, which was a delightful mix of fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. Next up was the carpaccio on the wedge salad, which was a true work of art. The thinly sliced beef was tender and flavorful, and the crisp lettuce provided a refreshing contrast. But what really made our meal at Drift 82 so special was the attentive and friendly service. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, and the entire staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend Drift 82 to anyone looking for a truly exceptional dining experience. The food, the views, and the service are all top-notch, and it's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a delicious meal with friends and loved ones.

Came spur of the moment in a beautiful day. Wanted something outdoors on the water. Found this place on yelp and so glad we did. The clams on the half shell, crab cakes and spinach dip were really really good. The carpaccio was really nice but needed more of a dressing. The drinks were delicious too. We will definitely be back. The service could've been alot better but we're understanding how hard it is to find good help these days.

Great Place by the water. Beautiful views Ferry Access to Fire island! Our personal favorites are Steak Tidbits moist melt in your mouth Caesar Salad Fried Calamari Sweet and spicy Calamari TNT Salad Best spinach and artichoke dip ever! Burger and waffle fries We could go on! Blue balls mixed drink is to die for! Great Atmosphere! Lunch and dinner menu Live music Outside seating and bar area

Dinner with friends. 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 was extremely 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.
