Reviews for Drift 82 in Patchogue, NY
Dinner with friends. Outdoor seating was awesome facing the Marina. Food was fresh and tasty. My Seabass dish was really nice.... The scallops my friend had was equally tasty, not rubbery, cooked to perfection. Only drawback was the service which wasextremely slow. We had Calamari starters which was yummy then had to wait almost 40 mins for our entrées. Other than this,I’d say definitely worth a visit for the scenery and fresh tasting seafood. Read more
Came here on a Friday evening, should have made reservations. Sat at the seats next to the Tiki Bar, had an extremely limited... menu (maybe 5 items and the rest raw bar.) Had the steak tidbits and calamari, both were very good. They had a band playing aswell. Will go back, and make reservations first. Nice spot on the water with good food. Read more
We really liked Drift 82. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars was I felt the menu could've offered just a little more. The place... wasn't packed by any means but I could see if it was, parking could be an issue here. We skipped appetizers and went right toordering entrees. The lobster mac was good but could use more lobster. The sauce was creamy and had a great cheddar flavor. The lobster stuffed ravioli was just okay and my nephews chicken fingers were perfect. My sister in law opted for the lobsterbisque, she said it was delicious and the Caesar salad which was huge! I decided to just go with the calamari. That too wasdelicious, wonderfully crisp batter over succulent squid and the marinara sauce was very good. After seeing another tablesorder of scallops being delivered I realized that was what i should have ordered. It normally would have been, but when thechef came over to go through the specials with us, his lackluster description just couldn't get me there. Everyone agreed thedrinks were cold and tasty and the usual offerings of dessert, cheesecake, tiramisu etc just didnt ring any bells so we declineddessert. All in all, a great place to stop in for dinner. They had a live one man "band" who sounded pretty good but theacoustics weren't great and honestly, this place had some incredibly loud diners. If you're in the area and have a hankeringfor seafood, in a place on the docks, Drift 82 is it. Read more

Drift 82 has great food, exceptional water views, and are doing things very safely for all patrons. The live music in Summer was... a nice touch. Go just before sunset and you won't be disappointed ???????? UPDATE: Returned Feb2021 for the winter igloo and hadan extremely pleasant experience. Food amazing and igloo is like your own private dining experience; well worth the igloo fee ? Read more

Amazing dinner, Incredible views, impeccable service. I recommend the marinaded steak tidbits, chilean sea bass and porterhouse... pork chop. Absolutely phenomenal, can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend making a reservation, as we did online, very easyand efficient. It was definitely needed, we arrived for our 6:30pm reservation and the place was packed. The staff were superfriendly which made the experience enjoyable. I dont recall my waiters name but she was an absolutely sweetheart and Iappreciated her recommendations. The restaurant owner goes the extra mile to satisfy their clients and make sure things goessmoothly ???????? Read more
I’ve tried a lot of restaurants and Drift 82 has, by far, the best yellow fin tuna around. Always great food, nice atmosphere... and often live music. Awesome choice for south shore dining. Read more
