Driftwood Lounge - Page

The view of the bay was wonderful, but unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. The quality was low, and it wasn't cooked properly.

I had the worst experience at this restaurant, which was unfortunate given the fantastic scenery. First, we requested a table by the window, and there were plenty available, yet we were seated far from it. The food, which was meant to be Italian, was terrible—dry and far from fresh. It's clear the chef doesn't understand Italian cuisine, as they managed to ruin high-quality ingredients that are usually hard to spoil. The service was also lacking; our server forgot to bring the teacup and mixed up our tea order, and unfortunately, she seemed overwhelmed. Overall, the fancy interior didn’t make up for the poor experience. I would not recommend this place.

The food and service were excellent. The resort was quite peaceful during our visit on March 20/21, which was exactly what our larger group needed after a long drive from the Grand Canyon.

Poorly trained staff leading to unacceptable service. Stopped in for lunch. It wasn't at all busy but it took a while to get my order. Once I stopped the server to get status, suddenly my food appeared but it was cold. Clearly it was ready a while ago but the server didn't get notified or didn't check. I ended up taking the food home and microwaving it so I could finish it. It was actually quite good when heated properly. Such a shame that it wasn't served warm. There was also a bit of a flail over the wine I ordered. Took four or five visits by the server and the bartender before I was told what was available and served. Several items on the menu were not available.

The bartender Joe is very disengaged. The female server with tattoos emptied her shoe full of sand onto the restaurant floor then proceeded to pick something out of her teeth with her hand. The wedge salad doesn't have bleu cheese on it (the menu doesn't say it does but what is a wedge salad without bleu cheese? A salad.
