Warm lighting for an excellent date night. Ambience hits the spot. Driftwood delivers on every level. I ordered a short rib, local wahoo, and a coffee and a date cake. Every dish delivered. They actually state where the fish and meats are coming from which is super cool. The uniqueness of each dish is apparent from a quick gander at the menu. The chef is meticulous and creative. I had such a wonderful time here from start to finish. Everything was a ten. I finished with their newest special dessert and a coffee. I typically hate restaurant coffee but theirs was balanced and exotic. It was the perfect finish to an a meal with unmatched attention to detail. I will be back 1000 times. Thank you chef. Lots of love to you and your team!

We shared the poached lobster(small plate) and the jerk swordfish(larger plate). Both were superb. The lobster melted in my mouth and the swordfish was deliciously moist and delightfully seasoned. Our dessert was the Dubai brownie with ice cream-we ate it all! I had a margarita on the rocks with a robust tequila with a smooth kick...yum. Driftwood is known for its creative drinks and fascinatingly tasty dinners. We sat outside with a cool breeze. Our server Gustavo was focused and attentive. He allowed us just the right amount of time to enjoy our meal. Thank you Driftwood for an extraordinary meal on our tenth anniversary.

This restaurant was absolutely phenomenal! The drinks were amazing — perfectly crafted and full of flavor. The bartender was passionate, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in what they do, which made the experience even more special. The food was outstanding. I literally ate every crumb on my plate! The fried rice was especially unique — unlike anything I’ve had before — and every dish was beautifully balanced in flavor and presentation. You can tell a lot of care goes into each detail. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Best dinner we've had in Boynton in a long time. Fantastic food and a great mixologist. I mean, the guys name is Swig. Dude knows his bourbon and more😎 We took some other food to go that was phenomenal - the chicken and dumplings and the rigatoni. Both were outstanding! We will be back!

We had never been here before. We probably passed by here 100+ times but did not know there was a restaurant here. Well ... we're glad we finally decided to go here. The food was more than wonderful - as was the service. We sat outside which was nice. We ordered a series of small plates which suited us perfectly. The sweet and sour cauliflower was exceptional as was the ceviche. We also had Steak Tartar which was interesting the way it was served in onion type boats. Most of us had adult beverages from the Happy Hour menu but I had the Smoregasm which I utilized to turn into a laugh inducing wordsmithed twist when I said "I would like an orgasm." Almost as funny as when I said (later) "I would like another orgasm please." Besides a great laugh inducing moment - the Smoregasm was delicious and beyond. All in all a very positive experience and we will be back.

Although this restaurant's secret may be out following its Food network appearance, its culinary excellence and superior service make it a true Triple D nation standout. Ben, our server, delivered exceptional service, attentively addressing our needs while offering sage recommendations from the menu. The crispy chicken oyster appetizer was a highlight, with its expertly prepared breading and spices perfectly balancing the chicken bites, paired with remarkable potato chunks. The smoked pork jowl fried rice was a bold, innovative dish featuring an appealing mix of ingredients, including smoked pork jowl, crispy rice, collard green kimchi, and fried garlic. For dessert, the 51/50 chocolate Dubai brownie served as a decadent finale, with its rich, creamy mascarpone ice cream accompanied by crunchy chocolate bites. Given our outstanding experience, we will certainly return to sample more of the menu offerings. Due to its newfound popularity, we recommend reservations to avoid disappointment.

Had an awesome date night at Driftwood tonight. Huge shoutout to Leo, the manager, for taking great care of us from start to finish — top-tier hospitality. The food was absolutely on point. The New York strip was cooked perfectly with incredible flavor, the chicken entrée was super unique and balanced perfectly, and the Dubai pistachio brownie dessert was unreal. Definitely one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while. Cocktails were just as good — the Mother of Dragons cocktail was creative and refreshing, and the espresso martini was a perfect finish to the night. If you’re looking for a solid dinner spot in Boynton Beach for a date night, Driftwood definitely delivers. We’ll 100% be back.

I had such a great experience here and can’t wait to come back. I dined alone, but it never felt that way, the energy of the space, the other guests and the staff made it feel like I was in great company the entire time. The cocktails were creative, balanced, and some of the best I’ve had in a while. Happy hour is a huge plus, with generous portions that don’t sacrifice quality or flavor. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious. They even offer complimentary boiled peanuts, which was a fun and thoughtful touch. The atmosphere really made the visit special. The restaurant is beautiful, with a welcoming, thoughtfully designed space, and the crowd added to the vibe lively but still comfortable and relaxed. Cisco was attentive without being overbearing, made fantastic recommendations, and genuinely added to the experience. The service was seamless from start to finish, and it’s clear he takes pride in what he does. I didn’t try the plant-based options on this visit, but I did notice they have them available, which is a great touch for different preferences. Between the amazing cocktails, great food, inviting atmosphere, and top-tier service, this place checks all the boxes. Highly recommend for happy hour or a night out even if you’re going solo.

What a terrific meal for our 36 anniversary. We started with the sweet and sour cauliflower, a MUST have. You cannot come without getting this one, it would be a crime. Also the harissa carrots, in a word -outrageous. I hate to admit it, but their collard greens are better than mine! I had the chicken and dumplings very tasty but very heavy. The ricotta dumplings are not the light and fluffy kind, they're dense and heavy so you can't eat much. My partner had the fried chicken (only available on Sundays) it was good but if I'm honest, not remarkable. The house burger however was a true delight. Served on a milk bread roll that was baked with the "everything bagel" topping. It was so delicious, I'm going back Friday for another. All in all a very good dining experience. We will - and are- going back!
