Drift on Pine

This place is absolutely amazing all around. The ambiance so chill even down to the music choice. Food is delicious and so affordable and the servers super friendly. We took a look at the body (second floor) 21 and up with a view of the lake indoors and a third floor. Rooftop. It wasn't open but in the summer I can see how amazing that will be. Definitely a place to experience.

Drift on Pine is a new up and coming restaurant. There are three different levels. The lower level is great for family dining. The second level, called Buoy, is for anyone 21 and older. The top level is for outdoor dining, which will be great in the summer. Our service every time we go has been excellent. The atmosphere is super cool and inviting. Out front each time has been a roaring fire with chairs to sit at. We ate a variety of dishes. We started with the Oversized Bavarian Pretzel with their signature french onion spread, beer cheese, and honey mustard. For a main entre, we had the Mushroom Rigatoni with filet medallions; which is phenomenal. My husband ate the grilled sirloin with Yukon mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. He said it was the most tender steak he had ever had and was worth the $55 price. Overall, we loved each and every dish. They take reservations and can accommodate large groups. We found our new go-to spot.

Went to Drift on Pine last night for dinner. We shared 2 appetizers. The Crab Rangoon Dip was delicious! But the star of the show was the Pork Belly! Perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing! I could have made that a meal by itself! I had the Ribeye steak meal. Steak was perfectly cooked and so tender! Truffle infused potatoes with mushroom sauce were a great addition. I tried the Purple Rain and the El Charro Picoso. Both were great! Our server was wonderful and wait time on food wasn't bad at all. Definitely be going back there!

My food was very good. I had the Harvest Gnocchi. I highly recommend. My wife had the Blackened halibut and the fish was cooked nicely, but the spinach and sauce was mediocre at best. Prices were fine, but for the price, I'd expect waiters and waitresses to be dressed a little classier. The t-shirt and jeans were just not making me feel like I'm paying $30+ dollars on a dish. A little bit of sticker shock on drink costs as well. We only had soda and a kids lemonade, each drink, including the kids drink, was $3.50. The menu has not been updated. They have a new chef and apparently now much of the pairings on the dishes have been changed to just mashed potatoes and veggies instead of the very good pairings listed. Overall, it was good. $100 good? Mmmm...

Early dinner Saturday evening. Our server, Daphne, was fantastic! She prepared the smoked Old Fashioned perfectly! Burger was great!

Great dining experience! The enthusiastic staff is professional and helpful! I enjoyed the Salmon BLT; it was delicious! Perfectly prepared salmon and outstanding bacon! The atmosphere is outstanding! I look forward to many more good times at the Drift!
