Came spur of the moment in a beautiful day. Wanted something outdoors on the water. Found this place on yelp and so glad we did. The clams on the half shell, crab cakes and spinach dip were really really good. The carpaccio was really nice but needed more of a dressing. The drinks were delicious too. We will definitely be back. The service could’ve been alot better but we’re understanding how hard it is to find good help these days.

Drift 82 in Patchogue is an absolute gem of a restaurant that offers an unparalleled dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and cozy. But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the breathtaking views that you can enjoy while you dine.

Every time I come here I am just so blown away.. I love the food, drinks, people, everything about this place!! One of my favorite places to eat on Long Island. I always order the scallops and risotto, and watermelon martini’s. I also recommend the seafood tower and lobster ravioli’s. yum!!!

After hearing amazing things about the place, we decided to go for our anniversary lunch. Sat outside which was nice- great weather. Diana was a very good server. Husband loved the seared tuna appetizer and the tuna tartar he got. My dishes were all mostly misses, I’m afraid. Lobster bisque was really bad. We order this wherever we go, including in New England. Tasted like straight butter and cream- couldn’t even taste lobster/seafood stock and zero trace of sherry…barely ate it. PEI mussels were so so. Huge portion but the sauce was flavorless. Another dish I order all the time from other restaurants, and this one fell very short. The spinach salad with goat cheese was okay- dressing tasted like a low end Kraft type grocery store dressing- weird after taste. Added steak on salad which was a huge portion and pretty tender, but flavorless- tasted like plain steak with zero salt or pepper seasoning.

I was there this past Saturday with 24 people and the experience was AMAZING! The manager Christine was unbelievably professional and accommodating and our server Brianna was absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend Drift 82 to anyone that enjoys eating by the water, listening to live music (that didn’t play so loud we couldn’t hear one another) and having a great meal!

First time we went our experience was good. Second time not so much. The food was good but service and wait time was horrible, we waited about 50min between apps and entrees, on a Tuesday…

Great staff. Nice atmosphere, by the water. I only had the wedge salad. It was very good! Except when I got it packed up to go for some reason they didn’t pack up my bacon with it! The bacon was great and I didn’t have it to go home with . Excellent drinks!

Unfortunately my first and only experience at Drift 82 was not a pleasant one. First I made my reservation months in advance requesting a table by the water. When we arrived early we were told our table wasn’t ready yet and to go to the bar. Fine. We came back at our reservation time only to see our table was given away and to be told we would have to wait 20 minutes or more for another table by the water. We did not want to do that so we settled on a table half inside the restaurant.
