About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for happy hour
  • Innovative
A drifter is a true traveler at heart. Someone who never settles for the ordinary. An artist who moves freely from town to town, never settling in one place, always searching for adventure and discovery of something new and exciting unlike what he has seen, heard or even tasted before.

Situated in the heart of Downtown Rochester, Drifters has brought together delicacies from around the country for a unique, scratch kitchen dining experience, and a few touches of our own.

    It’s the restaurant in a hotel, so it’s what you’d expect. Satisfactory food and service if you don’t want to leave the hotel.

    Only redeeming value is convenience if you arrive very late in the evening and are staying in the hotel. Food was not very good but it didn’t make me sick, so I had that going for me, which is nice.

    I wanted a simple, savory burger, and I actually got more than I hoped for. Good food, attentive but not intrusive service, and a nice environment. I would definitely recommend Drifters. Much better than most hotel restaurants.

    We made a reservation and we were seated promptly, and gave our drink order. The food took a bit to come out, but we weren't in a hurry and the management comped us a drink for having to wait. The food was DELISH and we will be back! The staff was VERY attentive and apologetic for the wait. The wait was due to a mistake in our order, so i am happy they discovered that prior to delivering the food. They redid both orders and the food was very tasty!
