Dryft - Revere

Lupe was a fantastic server! We had a great meal. She is friendly, polite, and gave great recommendations. We will be back and ask for her!

Best place to dine locally, on the water without the headache of traffic to Boston. The oysters are always fresh and delicious! The tuna nachos are out of this world. I have ordered them 3 times consecutively. Plenty of tuna, perfect amount of seasoning, crispy and delicious.

Great restaurant right off of Revere Beach. Tentative service and a great menu with lots of variety. The chicken wings were delicious appetizer. Fresh oysters were perfect starter. The Octopus small plate was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The tuna poke bowl had perfect balance of savory and tangy with sesame and pickled red onion.

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!

Everything was absolutely amazing here. They very easily accommodated our large group of 15 people. Everyone was served at the same time by an awesome staff. If you visit and don't try the clam chowder you're missing the best in New England.

We had such awesome service , really good recommendations and delicious food!! thanks to the server Mary

This place was recommended by the front desk at my hotel and I'm so glad she did! I started with the watermelon salad which was so delicious then I had the Haddock which came with broccolini and lobster mashed potatoes. The lobster that was in it was actually 2 pieces from the claws. The haddock was phenomenal, I cannot recommended it enough. I'm not sure I would be able to get myself to order anything else on tje menu.

An exceptional dining experience! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is absolutely delicious, and the service is top-notch. A perfect place to enjoy something special

We dined at a seaside restaurant where parking was very convenient; the restaurant was right next to the parking lot. The seafood did not disappoint—grilled octopus had a rich smoky flavor that we loved, and the lobster rolls were also delicious. Overall, it was a great experience.

The dishes really impressed us! Originally we just wanted to find a place to eat near the Revere Beach, but we ended up really enjoying everything. I highly recommend Grilled Octopus and lobster roll.

I had the shrimp scampi and my boyfriend has the salmon. Both were fabulous! Service was phenomenal! And just the vibe, coupled with the view of the sun setting! Couldn't have asked for a better place!

I had an absolutely amazing dining experience at Dryft, and our waitress Lupe made it unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She anticipated every detail before we even had to ask — perfectly balancing professionalism with friendliness. The food was incredible — every dish beautifully presented and full of flavor — but Lupe’s service elevated the whole evening. She offered great recommendations, kept our drinks full, and made us feel truly cared for. You can tell she loves what she does. If you go to Dryft, definitely ask for Lupe. She’s a gem and made our meal feel special from start to finish. I can’t wait to come back!

The whole experience was great! The food was to die for, but we already knew that since it was recommended to us from our good friends the Raymond’s. The staff were super attentive and made sure we were happy while also giving us the privacy we needed to continue our conversations. Drinks were also 10/10! The female manager came by to make sure our meal was going well and she was a hoot. We could have chatted with her all night. My one complaint is there isn’t any darts or pools tables lol! 😉

I came in with my friends and we had a great time. The crispy burrata is amazing! Cocktails were very good as well! The Dragons kiss magarita, if you like spicey margs, is so good!

Dryft is such a great spot! The food, the drinks, the ambiance, and the location make it one of the best spots around. I had the tuna Poké bowl for my meal, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. We also have some fried calamari for the table, and I paired this with a glass of white wine which was served perfectly cold and crisp. Staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in Revere or the surrounding area!

Dryft is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is unmatched — a high-end, beachfront dining destination with breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed yet refined. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavor, and the cocktails perfectly complemented the coastal vibe. A special shoutout to our server, Tracy, who made the night even better. She was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations that really elevated our experience. If you’re looking for a spot that combines fine dining, ocean views, and outstanding service, Dryft is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!

I dined at Dryft Revere last night and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. My server, Adrianna, was an absolute standout! she recommended the tuna nachos as her personal favorite appetizer, and they did not disappoint. The fresh tuna, crispy chips, and flavorful toppings made them incredible and a perfect way to kick off the meal. Adrianna was incredibly thorough about my allergies, double-checking everything to ensure I was safe and taken care of. Her sweet, attentive service made me feel genuinely valued. For my entree, I went with the short rib Bolognese, and it was amazing, rich and tender short rib in a perfectly seasoned sauce that paired beautifully with the pasta. Everything was executed flawlessly. I’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend Dryft Revere for great food and top-notch service!

Great atmosphere, got to taste a few dishes on a quick stop. Food is a mix of Mediterranean /American mix. Server Olivia gave some great advice and steered me on some great choices for the evening!

Dryft is hands-down my favorite spot in Revere! If you’re looking for good food, great drinks, and the perfect atmosphere — this is the place to be. The vibe is always on point — lively but still relaxed, with gorgeous ocean views and a chic, coastal feel that makes every visit feel like a mini getaway. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, and honestly, it’s all 10/10 every single time. From brunch to dinner, everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And don’t even get me started on the cocktails — my absolute favorite is the matadolor. It’s tropical, smooth, and dangerously good. If you want the best food, drinks, and atmosphere in Revere, Dryft is it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The pasta was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was just as impressive. Our server, Salome, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel so welcome. You can really tell she enjoys what she does. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Recently came to Dryft for dinner and was surprised with how busy they were given the cold weather. Our server, I think her name was Aubrey, gave us an excellent recommendation for the mussels because they are her daughters favorite, and we also ordered the tuna nachos as an apitizer. The bartender makes a great margarita and my partner tried the Matadolor which was sweet, but good. Would love to come again soon and try more dishes.

Today at dryft I had one of the best meals I’ve in a while . Followed by great service . My waitresses Olivia was so kind and sweet . Very attentive. She made our experience over the top . I will definitely be returning 10/10 !!!

We had dinner the Salmon was delicious! Also very important to mention that creamy espresso martini it was so good. But the start of the night was our server Salome excellent service very attentive and knows her stuff. Decided to come back for brunch just because of how she treated us.

I ate here with my husband last weekend, and I can’t say enough good things about this place! Everything we ordered from the apps to the entree to the dessert was delicious! Our server, Jules, was amazing. The food, alone, was impressive, but pair that with nice strong drinks, an attentive waitress, and an awesome atmosphere, and you have yourself a perfect dining experience! Will absolutely come back!

I love Dryft!!! The best food (the crispy burrata and wings are unreal!) and you really can’t beat the location, right by the beach! Friendly and accommodating staff and the most delicious drinks. Highly highly recommend!

Another wonderful dinner at the Dryft. The Limoncello Pasta was fabulous. The wait staff is so great, especially our server, Mary S, who was phenomenal. She went above and beyond waiting on our booth with 6 people celebrating 2 Birthdays. She was extremely accomodating, with humor & wit. We will continue coming to the Dryft. It is such a welcoming, comfortable dining experience. Highly recommend.

We visited Dryft at Revere Beach for dinner and overall had a very enjoyable evening. The location is fantastic — right on the beach, with nice ocean views. Being so close to Revere Beach gives the restaurant a relaxed, coastal feel. We were seated inside right away (no wait), at a nice table from which we could glimpse parts of the sea and catch some of the ambient beach vibe. The service was friendly, fast, and professional — our server was attentive and made good suggestions. We tried a variety of dishes: burger, fried seafood, and a New York strip steak. The burger and seafood were very good — well-cooked, fresh, and flavorful. The steak, though, came slightly stringy, which took away a bit of the enjoyment. If you’re in the mood for dinner with an ocean view (which of course factors into the price tag), Dryft is a solid pick — especially for seafood or light to mid-range dishes.

I’ve been here many times, and my all-time favorite things are the tres leches tiramisu 🍰and the red sangria 🍷 — both are amazing. I also really love the salad here, though it may depend on the season.

We came for brunch then a day at the beach. The location is impeccable! We were greeted by the hostess and had a reservation. Outside seating is first come first serve. We asked for outside seating and the hostess was kind enough to inform us that the only available two tops were in the sun - we took one because we wanted to see the ocean. As we were eating our meal - we saw that she then seated another similar size party in the shade at a 4 top. There should be consistency and fairness! As for the food - we ordered apps and main at the same time. Literally 5 mins after our apps arrived, so did our main. We sent it back to the kitchen and it came out later. We could tell that our mains were just kept on warm for 15 mins. So if you aren’t in a rush - stagger your order bc the kitchen isn’t managing the flow. Our server was friendly and apologized for the timing issue. She offered to remake the food - but we didn’t ask for that. The food was delicious and drinks yummy!

Dryft Revere is one of the most promising places to be around the Revere beach. It was a gloomy weekend and we were super hungry and ordered without giving it much thought but surprisingly the food was way above our expectations. I realized that the experience was on point when the flavors in the dishes were treating my taste buds one by one. Highly recommended to sit outdoors and enjoy the mouthwatering food under the sun.

Edit：not until I come back for the second time and realize that they charge tips on taxes when it‘s already a price with premium😵‍💫 I’ll take away one star from it. I would strongly recommend the chicken under a brick. The portion size is good, the artichoke fits well with the potato smashes.

🌊 The Dryft Beach: A Sunset Soiree Worth Riding the Wave For! Wifey and I ‘shore’ had a fantastic time at The Dryft Beach in Revere last night—because nothing says romance like spicy wings and a waterfront view, am I right? First off, the vibes were immaculate. The modern interior had us feeling like we were dining in a chic beach cabana (minus the sand in our shoes, thankfully). Those pendant lights? Absolute tide-lightful. We opted for indoor seating because, while the ocean breeze was tempting, we weren’t quite ready to drift away just yet. Now, let’s talk drinks. Wifey sipped on a mango concoction she described as "mango-rific!"—high praise from a woman who takes her tropical flavors seriously. Meanwhile, I dove into the sweet & spicy wings, which were like a perfect day at the beach—sweet sunshine upfront, followed by a wave of heat that lingers like a stubborn seagull. If you’re not into spice, maybe stick to the kiddie pool (aka the menu’s milder options). For the main event, wifey rode the chicken pesto pasta wave and declared it creamy, dreamy, and downright delicious. As for me? Well, I floated back to wing heaven. But let’s be real—the true test of any restaurant is their French fries, and Dryft’s version came out hotter than a midsummer beach sidewalk. Crunchy outside, fluffy inside—solid ‘MID’ (which, in fry-speak, means "we’d gladly order them again while pretending to watch our carbs"). Shoutout to our waitress, who was attentive as a lifeguard on duty—though next time, I’ll just ask for the whole water bottle. Hydration is key when you’re riding these flavor waves! Final verdict? We’ll definitely be back—because good food, great views, and a side of seaside charm are always worth the Dryft. Rating: 4/5 Seashells (Would’ve been 5 but hey—we’re not ‘shore’ what’s missing.) Pro Tip: Get there for sunset. The views are chef’s kiss.

Had an amazing night with the girls. Got the tuna nachos and they were amazing! Lupe was so lovely and made the night feel so comfortable, she’s the best!!

We had the chance to visit Dryft twice over the past couple of weeks when overnighting in Boston enroute to and from Milan, Italy. Both visits were good. The place tends to be a bit noisy, with music and conversation, the acoustics in the place don't dampen the sound at all. But, that was a minor distraction. The cocktails were excellent both times! The food is also good. Both visits included the clam chowder, which was the best we had in Boston! The first visit entrees included the lobster roll and the grilled swordfish, both were very good. Dessert was a decadent chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Delicious. During the second visit, the entrees were lobster tail, watermelon salad and the scallops. All good as well. Decent wine list. Service is good. We would go back if in the area again. Recommend Dryft, Revere, MA!

The environment is nice. New with ocean views and the music is just right. Two out of three dishes are very good. The salmon Benedict and the duck confit are tasty. The calamari came out lukewarm and not crispy. The service brought it back and coming out overcooked. It is suspected to be fried again instead of a new make. I don’t like it at all.

I’ve been to Dryft many times and have always thought the food was decent, but tonight was incredibly disappointing. I ordered two burgers to go, and both were completely flavorless no seasoning at all, and the meat was so dry it was almost inedible. For $42, I honestly expected so much better. It’s really upsetting to have to throw the food away from a place I’ve supported and enjoyed before.

First of all the hostess was gracious and very friendly and made us feel at home. Our waiter Juan was very attentive and polite. We got terrific service. My wife and I split crabcakes and clam chowder. We ordered off of the appetizers so we didn’t order the entrée full meal so I can’t really say how good that was? The clam chowder was OK while the crabcakes seem like a lot more breading than crab so we’re disappointed on that. My wife had a glass of Pinot Grigio and I had a glass of Cabernet both house wines. I was a little miffed when I saw the bill. The Pinot Grigio was $11 while my house cab was $22 so I didn’t understand. I thought it was a mistake. I would’ve ordered something else to drink if I realized it.

Unfortunately had to visit this place during lunch time, as I was invited to a birthday, and the birthday person had to go to work in the evening. So it was my second visit to Dryft, the first one was during Dinner, and everything was good, now it was 3pm, still lunch by their criteria. So needles to say there was Nothing but EGGS to pick up from the menu, I didn't have from what to pick up. And what they brought was tasteless, not salted not peppered, I couldn't eat it. Nobody finished their food. I wouldn't recommend here having brunch, only dinner.

1 star specifically for the host and one of servers’ behavior/attitude. The 5 stars only go to the small, wavy blonde hair server who took really good care of me after I got seated. Food was great, fresh, tasty, high quality!Five star all the way for the food! Lots of wine options except no Moscato, little disappointed but that’s understandable I went with Vinnicombe Riesling German instead which was not a bad choice at all. Atmosphere/the view was amazing, ocean view dinner vibe. Where the 1 star came from you may asked. When I entered the restaurant, I told the host that I want to sit at the table outside and it’s just me, party of 1. The host, who is the first point of contact, the first impression of the 5 star restaurant completely failed. Not friendly, not smiling, not very welcoming. After I told her my request to sit outside, she told me to wait a moment then went to ask what looked like to be the manager. Let me explain little more, all outdoor seatings were set up neatly and 100% empty when I got there. I was thinking to myself while waiting to get seated or maybe those tables were all reserved and if it’s not available I’ll just leave because I really want to sit with the view as I am not from around here and it’s not like I can come back tomorrow to dine in again. Then the host finally came back after good 2-3 minutes and walked me to the outdoor seatings area. Out of maybe 15 empty tables, she decided to sit me at the table by the door where the door keeps on opening and closing. Then she said “just this table right here ok!” with an attitude. No sense of hospitality at all whatsoever. I was about to leave at that point but I really want to enjoy the twilight, food and dessert so I was like whatever, let’s just ignore. My server, I don’t remember her name, small with wavy blonde hair helped my dinner felt less awkward. She was attentive, smile a lot, and knowledgeable about the wine options. The food came out in timely manner and perfect timing between the appetizer and the entree. I asked for extra sauce for my calamari as the meal arrived and informed my server to keep the calamari on the table as I still want to finish up my calamari later. As I finished my salmon, sat back for couple minutes, a new server came and took my “not finished” calamari plate away without asking. Dear Dryft, I felt like your food and atmosphere is 5 stars all the way but your FOH team still needs improvement. It’s Tuesday evening, with party of 1, from the time I seated around 6:30 pm to almost 8 pm when I finished, outdoor seatings were 80% empty… Dryft closed at 10 pm, absolutely no need to rush to take the food away from the guest without asking. It’s not even that busy to cause to host to have an unwelcoming attitude. Party of 1, I paid over $100, wine, appetizer, meal, dessert. I think next time I will spend it elsewhere. I don’t mind the prices but what I do mind is if the overall quality of the restaurant match the price I paid. In this case, the food and atmosphere matched the price I paid but not the service.

Today, I came with my mother in law and husband to eat at Dryft. Last time I was here I loved the food and service but this time I was very disappointed with the overall service including food. My waiter Mary S. never came over to ask if we needed water or drinks. I ordered fish and chips which tasted mediocre. I told my waiter Mary S. that the fish was soggy and drained in oil with no flavor at all and she only told me that she would let the chef know with no other comment. What a joke. My husband also ordered the bolognese rigatoni and his pasta was EXTREMELY salty and the texture of the pasta was super hard. For these prices they need to better themselves. I would NEVER go back again for sure and I definitely would not recommend to anybody. P.S. To me it also looks very unprofessional that our waiter asks after leaving her a tip if the service was good in a sarcastic tone of voice? Normally my husband is a good tipper but this time not so much. Maybe she needs more training on how to be a better waiter?
