Drift Restaurant + V Gallery

I made a reservation weeks in advance, but didn't really need to. When we arrived for lunch, there were only 2 tables occupied and the server said we could sit wherever we wanted. (We were there in the middle of February.) We chose a front table and had a glorious view of the bay. As the sun shifted, it did get hot and I had to switch to the other side of the table. But no worries, we were glad to have sun on us being from the gloomy Midwest in the USA. Our server was friendly but, as in every restaurant we dined on in the islands, was slow. Island time...I know. The place is super cute. We had the coconut shrimp with curry, and the fish sandwich. I thought the shrimp would be cooked in a coconut curry sauce, but it was 4 coconut fried shrimp with a smear of curry sauce on the plate. It was $18, and where I don't usually complain about any restaurant prices, this seemed excessive. The Mahi sandwich was fresh and lovely. It's worth the drive to visit this place. The scenery is breathtaking and the restaurant is very cute. We were considering buying a print of the monkey art, but wow, it's truly expensive.

What an incredible lunch! Highly recommend this as a must stop for lunch and dinner when on Nevis. We got mahi mahi which was perfect, and curry chicken was delicious! Service was not bad, but is island time, so relax and enjoy the amazing view of St. Kitts!

An absolute dream of a restaurant! Service, atmosphere and food were so wonderful that we went two nights in a row after trying a few other highly rated restaurants and feeling a little let-down. The staff here were warm and engaging, as was the adorable dog who roams without encroaching (unless you beg him to, which we did.) It has a very warm feel with stunning views and perfectly decorated interior highlighted by the works of a highly-talented local artist. The smoked wahoo, coconut shrimp and lobster salad are all completely delightful. As far as entrees, none offered the slightest disappointment. The jerk chicken, both the chicken and lamb curry, the (huge) grilled lobster and the ribs were all phenomenal. All four of us said that we could eat here every day and never be unhappy. Drinks are also fantastic and imaginative. A perfect, beautiful spot that I am sure will be impossible to get into soon - which is well deserved due to the hard work of a staff who clearly take pride in all they do. If you can get in during your visit, you need to!

This restaurant is amazing! The views are breathtaking and the cuisine is perfection! In fact we returned three of our seven nights in Mevis because of the ambiance, delicious food and incredible service

Would highly recommend! Wonderful spot! Thank you to the kitchen group and the front of house team. You gave us a wonderful and delicious experience! Hope to see you soon

We had an amazing table all by ourselves on the side overlooking the ocean. And our server was a very charming 15-year-old girl who we loved. But there were issues with the menu and food. We went for lunch and ordered shrimp curry. Our server said it was fried. It came out as four pieces of breaded shrimp and a little dipping sauce that was barely curry flavored. It wasn't very good. And it said $18 on the menu, but it came on the bill at $24. When I asked why, they said because it came with rice. For $18, apparently you just get four pieces of shrimp and nothing else. And then they add on the tax of course, and a service charge of 10%. I asked the manager if that 10% would go to the server since we liked her so much, and she said no, they split it amongst the whole staff. We ended up paying $74 with an additional tip for two servings with four pieces of shrimp and two beers. Sort of outrageous.

Such a cute venue and really great food! We had the tenderloin and coconut curry and enjoyed both! The appetizer sampler and conch fritters were fantastic as well. Would recommend some bug spray in advance as the restaurant is open air.

We were seated early. We had the very best view of the ocean. Our servers were perfect. Attentive without being intrusive. We each had the Drifter Salad. I can't say enough good things about how fresh and balanced it was. Greens, star fruit, mangoes, radishes, cucumber and cherry tomatoes with a light dressing. Excellent. My wife had the yellow curry with lamb. The special for the evening. I had the fish pie. Both were excellent. We finished with the ginger cake with ice cream and caramel. It was not cheap, but it was worth every single penny. Great place
