Dryft - Revere

I absolutely love this place! We visit all the time. The food is delicious, and the entire staff is fantastic. Whenever someone mentions wanting to go to Dryft, I'm immediately on board! I can guarantee a great experience. Thank you, Kadir Carmelo!

If you're in search of a romantic date night or a fun gathering with friends for a special occasion, Dryft is the perfect place to consider! Situated beneath new luxury apartments across from Revere Beach, it brings a fresh, modern atmosphere to this historic area. The menu features an impressive selection, from fresh local oysters to exquisite handmade pasta dishes. I am particularly fond of their pesto gnocchi, which is accompanied by chunks of butternut squash, as well as their fried calamari, lightly battered and seasoned to perfection! Don't worry if seafood isn't your thing—there are plenty of chicken and beef options available as well. I especially adore their Sunday brunch, where the swordfish tacos are my favorite choice. You receive two hearty tacos along with a side salad. Their espresso martinis are exceptional, and I always enjoy their seasonal sangria! They've even added an outdoor bar for the summer months, which offers ample seating if the inside gets too crowded. I truly love this place and highly recommend trying it if you haven't yet!

We visited to celebrate a birthday, and it was a lovely venue! Unfortunately, we couldn’t see the ocean at night, but the interior was vibrant and enjoyable. The food was delicious, particularly the grilled octopus. The service was excellent as well!

This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience! The food was top-notch, earning a perfect score of 5. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff ensuring a delightful evening. The atmosphere was charming and inviting, adding to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend trying the Truffle Fries and Steak Frites – they were absolutely delicious!

We decided to sit at the bar, where the bartenders were friendly, if not entirely well-versed in wine presentation and serving techniques (to be fair, they probably serve more by the glass than by the bottle). To start, we shared an appetizer of potato gnocchi with wild mushrooms. The gnocchi were light and perfectly cooked, while the white wine and wild mushroom sauce was seasoned just right. The dollop of ricotta on top was the perfect finishing touch. I considered trying the octopus, but $24 for an appetizer that my wife wouldn’t eat felt a bit excessive; we’ll definitely try it when we come back with our daughters. For the main course, my wife ordered the grilled salmon, which was accompanied by shrimp fried rice. Each dish could stand alone as a meal, and their combination was excellent. I opted for the swordfish steak, served on a roasted head of romaine lettuce with seasonal baby vegetables and a herb aioli. The flavors were vibrant, and once again, the pairing was splendid. For dessert, we shared the bread pudding, and like the rest of our meal, it was a classic that did not disappoint. Their wine list is extensive, ranging from budget-friendly to more premium options. Most selections are Californian, but they also offer some French wines, including Châteauneuf du Pape and Bordeaux for reds, as well as Sancerre and Pouilly-Fuissé for whites, along with the standard Malbec from Argentina. We chose the Pouilly-Fuissé, priced at $64 a bottle, with no surprises. We will definitely be returning to this establishment soon.
