It always elevates the experience when the guy/girl with the apron truly loves what they're doing and that is obvious by Frankie Pilon's attitude with customers and the pride he shows in the dishes delivered to the table. This is one restaurant where you can comfortably order with your menu closed as we did last week. We wanted some clams... More

My wife and I, looking for a change from our usual restaurants, decided to have lunch at Driftwood Bistro. Having been out for a rather substantial and rich dinner at some friends’ place the night before, we were looking for a small and simple lunch that day. So my wife had the Chicken Burger and I had the Ling Cod... More

My husband and I resently had dinner here for the first time. Seafood was great. We will be back on one of the live music night, and many other nights.

I've had dinner once and lunch twice.... Food is very good and well prepared. Music is inappropriate for dining and too loud. I don't see why they can't find a reasonably priced house wine???? $29 for a half litre bottle is pretty pricey and one reason that I'm reluctant to return.

Ate here recently. Fish tacos eh served in a hard nacho shell usually reserved for nacho condiments at other places; made them hard to eat. Fish and chips served in a plastic bowl lined with paper.....really? Wine very expensive for what you get. Service was good but menu and food presentation lacked inspiration. Probably wont last but worth one visit.... More

I enjoyed the local shrimp risotto while my one friend said her fish and chips were the best she had ever had. Her husband loved his fish tacos as well as some fresh oysters. Later I found out that the restaurant participates in www.thisfish.info... More

My husband and I had dinner here recently and really enjoyed it. He had red thai seafood curry and absolutely loved it. I had the goat cheese salad with grilled chicken on top which was very flavourful. We will eat here again.

The food choice is varied. Everyone at our table raved about their choice. I had the red curry Thai seafood. It was excellent. The service was very good. There was an excellent band playing. We had a great night.

I have dined several times and have never had a bad meal. The dishes are creative and you get a nice selection of foods from Italian to Asian to pub fare. Many times specials are included that not on the menu. Invariably they are delicious and add to the already large selection of dishes from which to choose. ....the food... More
