Dryft

If you are looking for a romantic date night or fun girls get together for something special, Dryft is an amazing spot! Located under new luxury apartments across from Revere Beach, it is bringing a new modern vibe to this historic location. The menu ranges from fresh local oysters to hand-made pasta dishes, which are exceptional. I absolutely love their pesto gnocchi with chunks of butternut squash and the fried calamari, which is lightly battered and seasoned to perfection! If you are not a seafood lover.. no worries! They offer a variety of dishes with chicken and beef. I love their Sunday brunch. The swordfish tacos are my go-to! You get 2 thick tacos and a side salad. Their espresso martinis are outstanding, and I am always a fan of a seasonal sangria! They also added an outside bar open during the summer, which has plenty of seating if the inside is too busy. I love this spot and suggest giving it a try if you haven't already!

All I have to say is wow...the attentiveness from the second I walk in is incomparable. I've visited Dryft in different seasons and it never disappoints. Fried Calamari year round is always delicious doesn't matter the season. The ambiance is calming and provides a smooth environment for grabbing just a cocktail or even a full dinner. I dine here for celebrations, birthdays dates or even dinner on a random night and it never misses. Fried shrimp rice is always a go to with their Salmon, and they'll always make the rice to your liking (spicy or little spicy). Sticky wings are a must and great for takeout. Grilled octopus is a family favorite and usually take extra to go lol. The views of the beach are also enjoyable. Can't wait for summer season to come around for the outside bar ambiance with chilled or frozen cocktails. Amazing place to eat!!!

Dryft is in a whole class of its own. Upscale, chic, modern, and warm is what I'd use to describe this place. I came alone and was seated nearly instantly. Jimena came quickly to my table and got me started with a wonderful selection of water and drinks. We discussed food options and she guided me through Boston's best seafood flavors. With clam chowder, scallops, and deserts to die for, I'd make this a permanent stop on every trip here. Extra thanks again to Jimena who made my singles night out both delicious and full of wonderful company. 🧡

Just over the top amazing! I love the atmosphere, not too bright but also not too dark. Everyone who works here is smiling and just enjoying what they do! I have been here a few times and If you like authentic fine food this is the place to be! Whether it’s for a date, birthday, or even quick bite to eat this food and the customer service will not disappoint! I highly recommend the fried calamari, grilled octopus, and Mediterranean plate from the starters section of the menu. For entree’s I’ve tried and LOVEDDDDD the beet salad with grilled chicken which was refreshingly amazing, the chicken Marsala, chicken under a brick, faroe island salmon, Seafood Paella, and let’s not forget to add in the kids menu is a A+ . Doesn’t seem like these processed warmed up meal options you get from other restaurants when ordering for kids. Lastly, that leechy martini makes everything goes down a lot smoother. If I could put dryft on speed dial i would for any time Im in the mood to eat out, but they’re 30 miles away 😅

We only had one night for dinner in Boston and I'm so glad this is where we spent it! Every dish we had was incredible; well worth the cost. Of the house cocktails we tried, I'd recommend the "Next Stop, Wonderland" the most. The scallops were buttery, soft, and delightful. The swordfish was recommended by our waitress, and I can certainly see why. Not only was the mint taziki perfectly balanced, and the swordfish cooked just right, somehow even the simple, char-grilled veggies were bursting with flavor (seriously, I was blown away by those veggies). If you manage to save room for dessert, definitely give the Oreo Tart a try; it's melt-in-your-mouth magic. My one suggestion: sit outside if you can; it was quite loud inside around dinner time.
