About Drifthouse by David Burke
Drifthouse by David Burke, located at 1485 Ocean Ave, Sea Bright, NJ 07760, USA, presents a dining experience with the added benefit of an ocean view. While categorized as a Chinese Restaurant by the platform, Drifthouse offers a menu that includes options catering to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian dishes, allowing everyone in a group to find something to enjoy.
One reviewer praised the restaurant for its delicious and unique food, the availability of vegetarian options, and the fun, seasonal handcrafted specialty cocktails. They also commended the management and servers for their efficiency and attentiveness, highlighting the delightful atmosphere throughout the year due to the ocean view.
However, another recent review expressed significant disappointment with the food quality. This review mentioned having to pay for bread that was perceived as subpar. Specific dishes such as the pretzel-crusted crab cake (described as literal pretzel sticks on top), the seafood risotto (with overly salty scallops), and the salmon (with skin on top and bones) were criticized. The reviewer also found the Brussel sprouts to be inedible due to being burnt and flavorless. Despite a sweet and kind new waiter, the overall experience led to strong dissatisfaction.
Based on these reviews, Drifthouse by David Burke offers a setting with an ocean view and handcrafted cocktails. While one customer consistently enjoys the delicious and unique food with good service and vegetarian options, another recent experience indicates potential issues with food quality and execution. Local users may want to consider these differing opinions when deciding to visit. For inquiries or reservations, they can be contacted at (732) 530-9760 or mobile phone +1 732-530-9760.

We love this restaurant. The food is always delicious and unique. As a vegetarian, there are always options for me to enjoy with my carnivorous friends. Handcrafted specialty cocktails are seasonal and always fun. The management and servers are on top of their game. And an ocean view. Delightful all year round.
First date night in a bit. Haven't yelped in a while because children and nothing has made me want to yelp. However, food was so bad I needed to make a review. First off , when you have to pay for bread, it better be magnificent. It tasted like the crust of white bread flavored with poppy seeds! Take a look at the photo there's no dough inside the bread !! Then the pretzel crusted crab cake ... it was literal pretzel sticks on top of a crab cake - woof. Then we have our entrees The seafood risotto thing- the scallops were the saltiest I have ever had. The salmon had the skin on top? Who does that ?? Mine also had a bunch of bones in it. We also ordered Brussel sprouts that were inedible!!! Soooo burnt and no flavor. Very disappointed. Our waiter was new but beyond sweet and kind! But poor guy- this place sucks !! So sad we waisted a night out here
One of the best dinning experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was incredible and the service matched the food. We started with muscles fried deavolo, then followed by the 2 pound lobster and we finished with the special which was a lobster and scallops paella. For dessert we had the creme brûlée and 3 layer chocolate mousse cake. As you can see I don’t typically do reviews, but have to give credit when credit is due !!! The food came out prompt, the server Adam was attentive and manager came over a few times to check up and make sure that we were happy. I will 100% be back more often as I live in 5 min away.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Drifthouse a few weeks ago. Everything was awesome and it was a perfect night to start our wedding celebrations. Penny was super responsive and helpful in planning the event. Our servers were very attentive and were right on top of us (we had a big drinking crowd, they kept the drinks flowing!!!) food was awesome. Dessert was incredible. Best key lime pie ever!!! Highly recommend
I was super excited to get down to this restaurant! When I arrived I found parking in the lot. I walked up to the restaurant and it was nice. I sat at the bar and was served by Chaz, and he was great. I started with the espresso martini and the lemon drop martini. I really enjoyed the espresso martini the most. For my appetizer, I had the mussels, and it came out in about 10 minutes. They did not disappoint. They were delicious! For my meal, I hot the squid ink pasta with lobster, calamari, and shrimp. That, too, was delicious! For my dessert I got the keylime pie which I enjoyed. I had a really good experience!
