Had an amazing experience at Driftwood! I brought in my family from Philadelphia. They loved every bite, and said it was the highlight of their trip. We had the sturgeon carpaccio, delicata squash, mussel cassolette, bolero carrots, the rockfish, the pork chop, and ALL the desserts! Every morsel was spectacular! Highly recommend! Nick Kangas is my fave(the other Nicks are cool too)

This business has recently been doxxed by anonymous non-patrons for its anti-discrimination and anti-ICE policy. I was here with friends on Friday celebrating a birthday and the food and service were fantastic. In particular, I liked the mushroom pain perdu and spiced apple cider cake. This business operates on wonderful local and eco-friendly principles with a menu constantly rotating ingredients from Washington-specific farms and providers. All ingredients are high-quality without preservative. I recommend this business for anyone wanting an authentic taste of the Pacific Northwest.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. Knowledgeable staff who know the names of each farmer they buy from. Beautiful an atmosphere, and for the price point it’s hard to beat. It’s a true small business and they work very hard to make every moment special. I personally like to sit at the bar and enjoy what the delightful team has to share in each season!
Creative and beautiful, I always leave inspired and well-fed!
Ps. Get the pork chop it will change your life —it’s worth the price point.

Highlights:
* Great service, atmosphere
* Generous portion. Every dish came with so much flavor.
* Food was on the sweeter side.
As a local foodie, I was genuinely impressed by this restaurant. So much thought has clearly gone into every dish and the portions are incredibly generous for the price.
I also really appreciated the atmosphere. Unlike many Seattle spots where tables are packed tightly together, this place gives you space to breathe, which makes for a much more relaxed dining experience. It was quiet and relaxing, great place for an intimate date night.
My server, Adam (who was also the bartender), was attentive, friendly, and made fantastic drinks. I’ll definitely be back!
Dishes I got:
* House bread rolls: 5/5. The honey butter was so good. Definitely recommend getting some.
* Squash with whipped chèvre mousse: 5/5. The squash went well with the mousse and the portion was great for two people to share.
* Packham Pear salad: 4/5. I’d recommend if you like pears and have a sweet taste bud like me. It is on the sweeter, lighter side.
* Pork chop: 5/5. One of their signature dishes. Definitely more for two people than one. I love how it came with Spatzle and baked apple, very unique flavors. The pork chop did have quite some fat, but even the fatty part tasted so good.
* Cocktail CPR Gimlet: (4/5) The butterfly pea flower ice was a nice touch. The drink was balanced, although nothing too stand out for me.
Highly recommend!

Hella local, hella seasonal, hella delicious!! The view of the Puget Sound is bonkers as they’re literally right on Alki Beach. One of my favorite meals I’ve had out in a very long time. I ate there in June and still rave about it. Service was phenomenal-I believe Mally was our server that evening and described everything with such detail and care that it was difficult to not order the whole damn menu. Chef Dan and his crew put so much thought into the dishes. You ever seen that trope of chef’s going to local farmer’s markets to shop for ingredients for that evening’s dinner? They literally do that here! The bar lead, Adam, has a downright impressive cocktail offering as there is no citrus used. One of the most creative yet straight forward drink programs I’ve seen in Seattle. Dan and his wife have also ran/been a part of several fundraisers for local farmers affected by the floods WA had a few months back and for the restaurant industry out in Minneapolis whilst they fight for the rights of their fellow humans. I’m sure there are more that I have missed mentioning. Really solid, amazing people in this building that give back to the community near and far!
Back to the food: get a fish dish, a veg dish, the rolls (insane!!), and the porkchop if you go!! Don’t skip on dessert either-a course I typically forgo but wouldn’t at Driftwood!
All in all, a very special place. Thanks for all you do, Driftwood!

We were in town and wanted to eat somewhere in the Seattle area not by the tourist filled downtown so we chose to visit Alki beach where we could see the sunset.
We had some issues with the drinks as they did not have basics like cranberry at the bar, no diet sodas. Understand they don’t carry Coke and Pepsi products but not having even local type diet was odd. Additionally they were very limited on the spirit brands considering the prices of the restaurant.
For food we had their homemade rolls which were very good along with their honey butter. For our main course we had the rockfish and pork chop. Both were very very good with nice presentations. The pork chop was very filling and a large portion. We finished it with their hazelnut dessert, which was average.
Overall the main course made up for their gaps in their bar choices. However, this place is more expensive than it should be for the level of service and options they provide.

Driftwood in East Seattle delivered one of those dining experiences that lingers long after the last bite. From the moment we sat down, it was clear this is a restaurant that cares deeply about ingredients, balance, and letting food speak for itself.
We started with the Dressed Baywater Shellfish “Sweet” Oysters, which were exceptional—clean, briny, and perfectly complemented by the dressing without masking the oyster’s natural sweetness. They tasted incredibly fresh and set the tone for the rest of the meal. The House Pull-Apart Rolls were another standout: warm, soft, and impossibly fluffy, with a richness that made them hard to stop eating. Simple, comforting, and executed flawlessly.
The vegetable dishes were just as memorable and truly showcased Driftwood’s commitment to seasonal, thoughtfully sourced produce. The Delicata Squash was beautifully prepared, striking that ideal balance between sweetness and savoriness, with a texture that felt both hearty and refined. The Ruby Queen Beets from Piece by Piece Farm in Rochester were earthy, vibrant, and deeply flavorful—proof that vegetables can be just as exciting as any main. Knowing the produce came from Piece by Piece Farm added an extra layer of appreciation, and you could taste the quality in every bite.
Overall, every dish we ordered was phenomenal, cohesive, and intentional. Driftwood feels elevated without being pretentious, welcoming without sacrificing sophistication. It’s the kind of place you return to not just for a meal, but for an experience that celebrates local ingredients and thoughtful cooking. Highly recommended.
