Dryft Revere

At the end of our Boston trip, we decided to visit Revere Beach and combine it with a nice lunch — and I’m so glad we found Dryft Revere. The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish, with ocean views from the windows. The food was flavorful and well-prepared - I had the Faroe Island salmon, and the kids enjoyed the homemade pasta. Dessert was also delicious. A wonderful place to wrap up our vacation and share a meal together. Thank you!

Best place to dine locally, on the water without the headache of traffic to Boston. The oysters are always fresh and delicious! The tuna nachos are out of this world. I have ordered them 3 times consecutively. Plenty of tuna, perfect amount of seasoning, crispy and delicious.

Dryft Revere is one of the most promising places to be around the Revere beach. It was a gloomy weekend and we were super hungry and ordered without giving it much thought but surprisingly the food was way above our expectations. I realized that the experience was on point when the flavors in the dishes were treating my taste buds one by one. Highly recommended to sit outdoors and enjoy the mouthwatering food under the sun.

When we entered the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by a hostess. There was no wait, we choose to be seated on the patio. The ocean views were breathtaking. The service was excellent. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food. The food was beautifully prepared and served.

The food was a 9/10. We went got brunch on a Sunday.. I got the breakfast quesadilla, my favorite part about it was the buttery crisp of the tortilla. My sister got the French toast and did a side of fried chicken. We got calamari for an appetizer & it was the best calamari I’ve ever had! The sauce that came with it made it that much better!! For dessert we had the oreo tarte it was absolutely phenomenal. The chocolate was perfect, and it stayed hot so every bite was amazing with the cool vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend eating here!

Really great vibe. Varied menu and good quality food. Service was excellent. Had the watermelon salad and shrimp cocktail. Nice size shrimp and a really good salad. Would return and plan to...many times.

Had an amazing night with the girls. Got the tuna nachos and they were amazing! Lupe was so lovely and made the night feel so comfortable, she’s the best!!

First of all the hostess was gracious and very friendly and made us feel at home. Our waiter Juan was very attentive and polite. We got terrific service. My wife and I split crabcakes and clam chowder. We ordered off of the appetizers so we didn’t order the entrée full meal so I can’t really say how good that was? The clam chowder was OK while the crabcakes seem like a lot more breading than crab so we’re disappointed on that. My wife had a glass of Pinot Grigio and I had a glass of Cabernet both house wines. I was a little miffed when I saw the bill. The Pinot Grigio was $11 while my house cab was $22 so I didn’t understand. I thought it was a mistake. I would’ve ordered something else to drink if I realized it.

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!

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.

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.

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 vibe is cool and great views Service is good We went for brunch and my eggs Benedict was cold! Salad was fine. Wish the food was better and warmer.

I recently visited Dryft with a friend and absolutely loved it! Located on Revere beach, it has a great vibe and great views. The service was efficient and our waitress was so sweet. We started with some cocktails and I got the Ghosted. It had ghost tequila, ghost pepper, turmeric tonic, lemon. It was super delicious but just a little too sweet for me. We also ordered the buffalo cauliflower and it was fantastic. It had the perfect level of both spice and crunch. I asked the waitress for some guidance on my dinner selection and recommended the Shrimp Limoncello as one of their most popular dishes, and I can see why! It had fettuccine, creamy lemon sauce, parmesan, garlic, breadcrumbs, and lemon gremolata. It was absolutely exceptional! The taste was so rich and wonderful and the breadcrumbs added a great texture. I would absolutely recommend it and due to the richness, I was able to get two meas out of it. For dessert, we had the apple bread pudding which I would also recommend! Super yummy. I am looking forward to returning to Dryft and trying more of their creations.

Great spot on Revere Beach. It's loud and lively. We did have some trouble hearing each other table throughout dinner with the loud music but it was still enjoyable. Unfortunately the outside was closed due to weather but it would have been so nice to sit outside. The patio and bar area outside is huge. Service was great. Very personable and fast. Made us laugh throughout the meal. Good was good. The shrimp limoncello pasta was our favorite. Their chowder was delicious, as well. Skip the scallops. They were small and overcooked. We stuck with wine because their cocktails read too sweet for us. Great wine selection

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.

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.

Wow! So great. Our server Lupe was great. I had "the Special" risotto. Yum! The dessert pistachio martini is to dye for!!!

went for mother's day and it was great. we got the brunch menu, and ordered the seafood platter, watermelon salad, harvest bowl, burger and the warm lobster roll. it was all great. service was good too! the vibe was nice and the views were beautiful. a little pricey. but will definitely be back to try the dinner menu and see what else they have to offer!

We had a fantastic brunch for my wife's birthday. Great service, great food, and amazing view.

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.

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. Lol

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!

Maria and the rest of the staff at Dryft were AMAZING! Great music and vibes... the food was phenomenal... big shrimp cocktails and the grilled octopus was impeccable. Great food, drinks and location. Can't go wrong. The best reason to come to Revere Beach!

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.

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!

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.

What a great meal! The two of us shared the grilled octopus and blackened hake. Both dishes were expertly prepared. Service was attentive. Nice decor and ambiance.

The food at Dryft was amazing ! I had the limoncello pasta !!! Amazing. Service was impeccable! My friend is on a gluten free diet ! And they were very accommodating to her needs ! They even make their own pasta !!! So good ! Draft was recommended and did not disappoint! Great wine list as well !

Nice view, attentive staff and great view. We were a party of 4, ordered different food and all enjoyed our meals, including a vegetarian selection.

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.

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.

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!

Food, waitstaff and environment were outstanding. Everyone was extremely friendly and polite, and I will be returning when I travel back to Boston

I cannot say enough great things about both Dryft and Vivi! I've hosted two large family celebrations here--my dad's 70th birthday at Dryft in 2023, and most recently, my parents' 50th wedding anniversary at Vivi this past Saturday--and both experiences were absolutely incredible. From the elegant venues to the exceptional staff and personalized service, everything was seamless. The menu was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about the food! The teams at both locations went above and beyond to make our events feel special, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for a space to host a meaningful celebration with amazing food, ambiance, and care, look no further. I'm already looking forward to planning more events with them in the future. Thank you, Vivi and Dryft, for making such important moments unforgettable! -- Natalie

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!

I stayed overnight in an area near Boston that didn't have many dining options, and this restaurant stood out as a promising choice. It has a sleek, modern vibe and very friendly staff. The food was good--well-prepared and nicely presented, though not spectacular. Overall, a solid dining experience in an area with limited options.

Dryft is very nice and always busy. The food is usually very good. I do not eat seafood so there are limited menu choices but I still go about twenty times per year. My usual choices are the Bolognese or the Burger. The only meal I did not like was the chicken parmesan. Their chicken parm is not pounded down like the traditional meal. It's a pretty thick piece of chicken. I'm sure some people like it as they still serve it. It was just nor for me. Figured, I'd let you know before you order something you don't expect. The service is alway good and the restaurant is very beautiful.

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. Glad we gave it another try. Will be going back as I still have yet more items on the menu to try.

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.

Dryft was the perfect birthday dinner location in MA. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection, I enjoyed my Mahi-mahi meal. The server was kind to substitute the corn for mashed potatoes for me. My husband and I sat outside looking over the ocean, perfect view and ambiance!

What' a great spot by the beach! They have a great outdoor bar, with a view of that mini zakim bridge. I opted for the burger with truffle fries and wings. Both of which are surprisingly excellent. Service was fast. A great summer place! But they also have a nice inside bar and more comfort dishes great for winter!

Was all delicious from beginning to end! Service was wonderful. Ambiance and vibe were on point. Literally 10/10

So, first time I've been here I left a 5 star review because I loved the food. I loved it so much I kept coming back, but all the next 4 times were SO BAD. Once they brought me almost rare meat, when I asked for well done. They did not put caramelised onions in the burger next time. One time meat was just burnt. Felt like eating coal. I think this is just unacceptable, taking into consideration how much they charge for their not even mediocre meals!!! I don't know how they dropped the quality so drastically. I guess they changed their chef or something.

One word...Excellent! We decided to eat here for New Year Eve. The service from Tracy was outstanding, the portions were huge and the food was superb. The bathrooms were very clean also. Definitely stop in and have a meal or an appetizer.

Drifts offers a great combination of views, indoor and outdoor seating, and great tasting food. I had a breakfast bowl with what seemed like pitaya and it was a great, delicious, and healthy meal. Their truffles fries are crispy, aromatic, and the flavor isn't overpowering. Definitely coming back.

Good quality food! Nice atmosphere but they are strict on seating for walk ins when the place wasn't even full or busy. Overall would still recommend!

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

Horrible, horrible, horrible. The management and staff are children who don't understand relationships, the community, or how to run a business! My last experience was so unacceptable that I find myself here warning people to just go somewhere else. Who cares if the food is good when the people who serve you are horrible and 12. This cheap labor concept will not go well. Food B+, Hosts FFF, management FFFFFF, barstaff A! Go somewhere else!!!!!

Good food. Had calamari!which is excellent. Crab cakes average. Great service. Lupe was our server and couldn't have been nicer.

Didn't go in, loud, noisy, not our type of place for a nice meal. My son is in his late 20's and it was not for him either.

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!!

Man what isn't good about this place. What more can you ask for than dinner next to the beach? We started with the octopus and it was super tender, then I had the chicken parm as my main course and let me tell you, they were not shy about the portion. The Resturaunt itself was a little loud but that's typical with how many people are in and out, but the server made sure we were heard and our party was taken care of. Definitely coming back for future meals!

Awesome North Boston Harbor location near the water. The views of the harbor are very nice. The place is super chill and slightly upscale. The customer service was great. The food was even better. I stopped by here twice on my Boston visit because it was that good. If you are in the area and looking for some good food, and entertainment Friday and Saturday night, stop by here. You will not be disappointed.

Came to dryft with family members with various food allergies. Taylor was our server. She was so patient an told us all the ingredients. We will definitely go back again

Stayed at a hotel nearby and the front desk recommended Dryft! Stopped in for a late dinner. We came close to closing but thankfully they still let us dine. We ordered the grilled octopus, steak frites, and oysters. The food was delicious and fresh. Drinks were tasty too. Would definitely go back if I was in the area again.

First time. Completely love the restaurant. Food and ambiance were perfect. See the pictures of the restaurant and food. I had clam chowder and shrimp lemoncello. Very delicious. I would definitely recommend you coming and trying it. The waiters were good and attentive which I enjoyed. Also, next to the water.
