    Drift is one of our favorite restaurants in Halifax. The atmosphere is wonderful. It's strikes the perfect balance of class without pretention. It's very relaxing, enjoyable experience. The staff are very well trained and organized. Our server Maija was excellent. Very personable with the appropriate level of attention. You can't go wrong with brown bread rolls as an appetizer, are perhaps the best tasting that I have ever had. My wife had the seafood hodgepodge which she thought was amazing. I had a Easter special (cod dinner) which was good, the fish was cooked perfectly. I had a special cheesecake which was a bit underwhelming, the presentation with the rhubarb garnishes on the side made it look very nice and tasted wonderful, but the cheesecake itself(fluffy whipped filling with a solid graham cracker bottom) was a bit "meh". The chocolate mousse that my wife had was presented well and tasted nice. The pricing seems very reasonable for a restaurant of its class, service and quality.
