My friend and I celebrated our birthdays by taking ourselves out to dinner. My friend made a reservation, but we ended up showing a 15 minutes early. The host told us to give them a couple minutes, so we figured we’d get a drink at the bar. We ended up waiting at the bar for about 20 minutes before we got a drink. Finally, it was several minutes past our reservation time, so I went up to the host - he took us to a table right then - a table that i noticed was available when we arrived.

Once seated, our waitress took forever checking on us - we went dry on water and drinks, and sat with empty plates for at least ten minutes. With a 20% required gratuity, I expect more than no water during my meal.

Excellent food. We weren’t a fan of the cornbread dessert though.

The service is why I’m giving three stars - for this quality of food that’s being served, we shouldn’t have had to wait the way we did.

Very unique, hole in the wall in right on Federal Hwy in Boynton Beach. They always have amazing specials and the menus (both cocktails and food) are well crafted. They even have a garden out back where they grow many of their ingredients! One of our favorite appetizers is the Sweet and Sour Cauliflower. They are known for their homemade (well many homemade dishes) ice cream sandwiches. We normally sit outside on the patio- they sometimes have live music, but inside is cool speakeasy vibes. Great for a nice dinner spot.

My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant on Valentine’s Day, and we ordered the NY strip and swordfish, both of which were really good. However, there were a couple of things I disliked:

1. The tables were too close together, making it easy to overhear conversations from neighboring diners. Despite making a reservation more than three weeks in advance, we were seated at tables with no space between them.

2. We experienced a long wait for our drinks, taking 25 minutes after the server came to us for the first time. We then waited an additional 35 minutes for our main dishes. Although it was a busy night, the restaurant was not packed, so the wait times felt excessive.

Aside from these two concerns, I truly enjoyed the restaurant and the food!

If you're not careful, you'll drive past this epic gastropub and not realize you've missed out on some banging culinary creations right in your neighborhood.

Finally! We don't need to drive to the island or further for a delicious, creative and flavorful meal. We've been going to a similar concept called oceano down the road and the owners actually recommended driftwood to us so we thought we had to try. We immediately regretted never stopping every time we saw their "life is too short for bad food" sign, and boy, were they not lying!

Now for the main event : the FOOD
* sweet-and-sour cauliflower, fried to perfection the spicy is the right amount and balanced perfectly with the sweet
* green bean tempura, yummy snack the table will fight for
* house made milk bread - fluffy and light harissa butter is the best part
* local fish ceviche - fresh and definitely not shareable (in my humble but savage opinion)
* Birria empanadas - star of the show, we could eat 10 of these easily
* local fish and chips - second star of the show, I haven't had a good fish and chip since the UK
* beetroot salad, appreciate the idea the husband liked it because it had sweet potatoes but I felt like I was being forced to eat this by my mom- also very hard to top the empanadas and fish and chips
* burger, and general tso fried chicken sandwich we're good, but the other things on the menu were more creative and flavorful.
* someone got the chicken dumplings which left more to be desired - it was the only plate not licked
* do not sleep on the desserts - corn bread cake with homemade blueberry compote and their ice cream was to die for. I forgot the other dessert we got but it was demolished.

All in all, a wonderful experience - all three of my visits were somewhat last minute (driving by and my stomach takes the wheel) and we were one time accommodated close to closing time and being a large group and annoying - we appreciate the staff and more importantly the delicious food they served - see you soon!!

Great little spot! Was down in Boyton beach for work and luckily we found this gem for dinner on our first night. Everything was delicious. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits and it was great!

Had the best dinner! The bolognese was amazing the tile fish dish was excellent and the corn bread dessert was delicious! I'm glad we went back and had another chance to eat there. Thanks to the owner.
