Driftwood

The New Driftwood is Full of Surprises, & More Reviews

Leslie Brenner reviewed Driftwood: The Oak Cliff seafood restaurant (which formerly earned four stars from Brenner under chef Omar Flores) has new ownership and a new chef, so clearly it was time for a revisit. Michael Martensen and friends are pushing oysters and absinthe here, and Brenner says the pairing "can be revelatory." Chef Kyle McClelland's menu is "concise, pricey and ever-changing,"...

A Revamped Driftwood Goes Heavy on the Absinthe

Oak Cliff's acclaimed ode to fine seafood Driftwood changed hands a couple months ago, and the restaurant is now in the hands of restaurant group Misery Loves Co., a joint project from Driftwood co-founder Sal Jafar II and cocktail master Michael Martensen, with former Brooklynite Kyle McClelland in the kitchen.

McClelland officially started back in April, but Driftwood has just launched new...

I do not often write reviews, but my experience at Driftwood was SO REMARKABLY BAD I have to share it with others in the hopes of preventing you from wasting money, calories and time on a bad meal.
I was treating my significant other for a special occasion: our three-year anniversary. What a disappointment!
The service was friendly at first,...

This is a trendy place in a hot neighborhood and it has a few rough edges to smooth out.
The menu is short and simple, fewer than half a dozen ‘small plates’ and the same number of entrees. Clearly the interest is in alcohol because the reverse side of the menu requires tiny print to list all the wines and...

We knew Driftwood had a recent positive food critic review and were really excited to try it again. Our server never introduced herself and did not have a very professional demeanor, she couldn't make recommendations and seemed to know little about the menu. The salmon sashimi appetizer and the bread were the best things we had. The halibut was dry...

You can't go to Driftwood without trying the Brussels Sprouts .... even if you don't think you like Brussels Sprouts. Delish. Signature cocktails are fun too.

Run, don't walk, to try the most delectable desert from the new Brooklyn chef. Omg. Apricot & Honey. It was ridiculous. Honey powder, gelato that you don't even know is gelato but made with goat cheese-some caramel action that all together is an explosion of happiness in your mouth. It. Was. Divine.

You haven't seen the elegant side of seafood the way it is presented at Driftwood, a trendy Fish & Seafood restaurant and cocktail bar. The exterior of the restaurant itself is quite self-effacing and the interior is warm and welcoming. Simple yet elegant seating spaces line the dining room and an extended patio is available for those who wish to dine under the moonlight. The food menu dictates...

This casual, mid-level seafood restaurant is where locals dine on Ugly Pug beer-battered merluzza, grilled octopus, and Wyoming golden trout on the patio.
