    Husband had steak, I had snapper and we shared the roasted carrots. Everything was outstanding. Restaurant ambience is quite nice, though it tends to be a bit chilly by the windows because of the fans. Overall, another great experience at Drift.

    The food was excellent! The perfect menu for all of the fall flavors. The squash soup, mushroom risotto, braised short rib were perfection. We paired with a glass of the Jackson Tar Cabernet. It was all delicious. The ambiance at Barrister’s never disappoints and the service was top notch. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
