Driftwood Palm Harbor

One of the best little known gem restaurants in downtown Palm Harbor! Food was absolutely cooked to perfection. The fish and scallops were soft and tender on the inside and beautifully browned on the outside. Flavors, sides, and drinks were on point, and I appreciated the plentiful but not-too-long menu. Love the wood design elements, which give the place a gorgeous earthy scent. Excellent casual yet borderline upscale atmosphere. Service was exceptionally friendly and professional. Can't wait to come back for lunch and check out the upstairs bar area.

First time trying dinner here last night at the Driftwood in Palm Harbor. Food was excellent, service on key and atmosphere laid back with awesome contemporary music 🎶 which I must say was not overpowering during our conversation we could hear ourselves. Rating this place an A+ we also spent time chatting with the manager, super nice guy. Prices are above average BUT considering the quality & exceptional taste Soooo worth it. Also, every month they feature paintings that can be purchased by local artists, so amazing!! Give them a try, they only opened 7mon ago, enjoy ☺️!

Excellent all around. The food is fantastic. Everything was prepared perfectly. We had ribeye, scallops, and sea bass and highly recommend all of these dishes. The white sangria is some of the best we've tried. The service was exceptional. McKenzie took great care of us. It is nicely decorated with a pretty beach decor. This will be on our favorites list!!!

We had dinner tonight and Ethan was on point. They've got a nice selection of beer and wine although they're waiting on their liquor order to come in. They're definitely ironing out the service and kitchen nicely! It definitely seems like they're getting the right staff in the right positions. We started off with the mussels and the charcuterie board for appetizers. They really delivered! Highly recommend both. For the main entrees we had the stuffed grouper with the crab cake in it, and the filet. We both ordered a side of Cajun butter which really delivered an extra depth of flavor to both dishes. I did miss the blackberry shallot butter that was there the first time with the beef if I'm being honest. The scalloped potatoes weren't piping hot, but the flavor really delivered. Honestly, a really good meal from start to finish! Apologies on the pictures for the main entrees, it was so good I dove right in and forgot to snap a picture to begin with! The ambience of the restaurant is fantastic, and the coastal theme and decor of the interior is beautifully decorated. This place will definitely be a busy downtown Palm Harbor spot for a long time to come! It's definitely worth checking out, give them a try.

The food and desert was amazing! I’ve never had anything taste this good for its price. And the portions were just right too! The bartender was really nice and did an amazing job! I believe his name was Ethan. I also had the Mussels for an appetizer but forgot to take a picture for this review- they were so good I ate it all without realizing til after. Props to the chefs in the back and props to all the friendly servers. They were all kind especially the owner. Amazing job everyone! If I was a millionaire I’d invest in that restaurant so much!

*New Owners Buchanans Landing* Hosted a company event here. They closed down the whole upstairs for us. Everyone in our party had a fantastic time. The restaurant is huge and beautiful. The food was Amazing. Joe and Sai were extremely accommodating and made sure everything went off with out any issues. We will be hosting our future events here and I will personally be coming back for Dinner soon. Luca the Chef and The Italian Cuisine did not disappoint! Highly Recommend.

This place is absolutely incredible. Brand new everything, squeaky clean. Service was quick and polite. We started with the fried Calamari which was just your typical calamari, nothing special. I got the chicken Milanese and oh my goodness, it was phenomenal. My husband got the Cajun filet mignon Alfredo which was very tasty as well, filet was cooked to perfection. Personally though, being a chef, I thought that dish would have been much better as chicken than filet though it was good. Will go back asap. I believe they should add a few more items to their menu but they’re still very new so it’s understandable for sure.
