Driftwood Palm Harbor

Nice coastal themed restaurant with tons of potential. We were a group of 30 and really only a few other people in the entire place. Food was delicious and service was good. A bit pricey for scallops risotto at $32.99 but they were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Not sure why this place wasn't bustling on Thursday evening before Christmas so something seems a bit off. Nevertheless I would recommend giving it a try. Next time I want to sit upstairs, didn't get to see it, but always love open air dining. Pet peeve, hang a sign for restroom directions.

Beautiful atmosphere. Very classy. Great service and food

Been here 5 or 6 times...always extraordinary food, amazing personel...bartender creating martinis for us!.. no music ? Few customers Why? Good luck.. my part of 16 was to be there for lunch at noon THIS, Wednesday...sad. this seemed sudden. NOW we will be at Ozona,Pig..I will miss your mussels, scallops, salmon ...come back soon!,

Huge seating capacity!hard to imagine there ever being a waitline but I'm told it can happen on weekends. Parking: Unknown to us at the time but owner said he has private parking lot behind the restaurant,...very convenient!

Yikes! The place is beautiful BUT food was mediocre and it was SOOO expensive. Besides the actual price we were a big party so they CHARGED every single person 20 % automatic gratuity AND 3 % CARD CHARGE!!! We were not told about this, and service was definitely NOT worth 20% automatic charge. I won't be back because of prices and I am in hospitality and do NOT AGREE with not having a CHOICE how much to tip!!

*New Owners Buchanans Landing* Hosted a company event here. They closed down the whole upstairs for us. Everyone in our party had a fantastic time. The restaurant is huge and beautiful. The food was Amazing. Joe and Sai were extremely accommodating and made sure everything went off with out any issues. We will be hosting our future events here and I will personally be coming back for Dinner soon. Luca the Chef and The Italian Cuisine did not disappoint! Highly Recommend.

Went to Driftwood with 2 other couples. First time there for any of us. The prices are on the high side, but don't mind that for high quality food. We were seated and immediately noticed it was a little cold (was cold that night for Florida), made more so by cold air blowing on us. We asked the server if she could request that the ac be turned down and she said she would, as she agreed it was really cold with the air vents blowing. We followed up with her later and she said she had asked, but that was the end of it and we just bundled up the best we could. Our drink orders were taken and everyones drink was served but mine, but that was quickly remedied when I mentioned it. Our appetizer and dinner orders were then taken. Our dinners came out fairly quickly, before we ever saw the appetizers. We mentioned this to our server while she was helping with the dinner delivery and she replied very honestly that she had forgotten to enter the app order. That was fine, and we just told her to forget about the appetizers. What was not fine was the quality of the dinners. Everything was average at best. Several people had ordered the grouper entree and when I asked them how it was, as I know they all love grouper, they each said it was just okay. The following week we all went out to an inexpensive, casual waterfront restaurant and they said the grouper there was much better. My friend ordered the ribeye and said it was not very good. He took half of it home with him and it is still in the refrigerator. The only person that really enjoyed their meal was me, I had the cajun filet mignon Alfredo. So, we gave the restaurant a shot and the atmosphere and food was just not quite there. I have read several reviews, and hope the owner does not push for a higher review based on the employees earnings being based on high reviews. Reviews are based on value received. I may try the restaurant again, with just my wife, and hope to be able to write a better review then.

Brad is amazing!!! Best bartender ever! will be back

Absolutely delicious and beautiful atmosphere. Took my husband and our entire family here for dinner and we were blown away with the food and service. We all got appetizers and a different dish and we were all surprised with the presentation and how well everything tasted. Will be back again.
