What a great place to hunker down...even in inclement weather! The views of the Lake, beautiful gardens and outdoor patios are great for decent weather...but on a cold, windy day, the warm atmosphere inside makes the trip out this way...very worthwhile.

Good food! Great location! A little gem on Lake Erie!

Very cool comfortable Lakeview establishment very good pleasant help, great snacks

Jackie our waitress was the bomb!! And the sauce that came with the walleye platter should be marketed for daily consumption--its that good!!!

The staff was very friendly, food was good, and the view was great!

Great place to venture to whether you're rolling out by yourself, or with a group. Food is very good, well priced and the view of the lake is stellar. We will definitely be making this place a staple for future visits

Wow

Seems like a nice place

The owner Louis is really nice and actually cares about the food and entertainment she provides unfortunately her deck has collapsed but that's more mother natures wrath 10 outa 10 reccomend even if it's just for a drink or 2 not to far from GOTL

Cool place right at the end of the State Park. You can have your lunch or dinner just a few feet from the shores of Lake Erie they usually have great entertainment it's tucked away.

It was a hoot

Awesome place

New menu, GOOD food and service is great!

Great local spot for beer and live music on the weekend!

Cool small beach

Beautiful view, tasty food, great service!

Great views, with good food and a quaint atmosphere

Quiet getaway relaxing great views

Nice atmosphere great waitress

Live music, sunsets and cold beer..

Good food, drinks and sunsets

Perch tacos were awesome! Aoeli! Great atmosphere, acoustic guitar and singer. Sunsets!

Such a fun, little beach bar! There is live music almost every night (as far as Im aware), the food and drinks are good and reasonably priced.

The atmosphere is what really makes this stop worth it. The servers are kind and fun, the music is good, and there is a small beach/lake access area where you can watch the sunset.

I highly recommend!

Beautiful views friendly staff

A hidden unexpected gem on the shore of lake Erie. Wonderful food and view.

Great atmosphere easy listening music off the beaten path and food is great prices are worth the 12 minute ride off that path

First time I've been to the Driftwood. I was very impressed good food good atmosphere . I will be back

Casual , relaxing and scenic . Great music . Tasty bean burger . Owners very welcoming . Beautiful perennial garden . A hidden gem .

Relaxing. Good food!

This is a hidden gem. Food is amazing. Portion is big. I had a Walleye dinner. You get a whole fish (2 big fillets) fries and wonderful artichokes sauce. The sauce is amazing. I was dipping my fries and fish. The Calamari is wonderful. My wife had the perch tacos. Amazing restaurant. Very casual and beautiful view of the late. Plenty of outdoor sitting.

The lake Beautiful !

Great food and views!

Great view of the lake. Food was great and service was great. Owner and staff was very friendly. I really appreciated the masks required rule.

Great patio weather permitting, live entertainment at times, and food was good. Nice setting to enjoy a sunset.

We had a group of 7 people. Our waitress was amazing and took great care of us. The food was amazing and the location is perfect. If you can defiantly sit outdoors!

It was a perfect night for a meal at Driftwood. Upon arrival, we chose from a nice selection of socially-distanced outdoor tables. A great view of Lake Erie was available from all outdoor seating.

We started with a drink while looking over the small, yet varied choices on the menu. A great variety of options on the drink menu, my wife chose a martini which she said was excellent.

As an appetizer, we selected an order of the honey-mustard chicken wings (bone-in). They were the meatiest and juiciest wings I've had in a long time. The honey-mustard sauce was an excellent mix of sweet, with just a hint of spicy mustard.

For the main course, we each chose one of their two chicken sandwiches. I had a very juicy and flavorful grilled chicken sandwich with the BBQ sauce. My wife chose the Caprese Sandwich which is just what you would expect. A chicken breast covered with a large slice of tomato topped with a generous disc of fresh mozzarella. We also chose a basket of the sweet potato fries as a side dish, Yum. A friend who was dining with us chose the Black Bean burger. It was the largest fresh-made burger I had ever seen (probably a half-pound). There were quite the leftovers taken home from this visit.

The service was smooth and we were not rushed at all. As we got toward the end of our stay, there was an awesomely picturesque sunset to top off our visit.

Great as usual

Great food and very good service. Pricing is reasonable and the views are nice as well.

The best place

Cobb salad was the best. Quesadilla was delicious and the bbq wings were great

We visited this restaurant because our dog was welcome, per the Fido website. I called to double check that we could actually bring our dog and I was told yes and that I also needed a reservation, so I made one while I was on the phone. Upon arrival, at 4:30 PM, we were told we needed a mask (COVID 19) or we couldn't be seated. This would have been helpful information when I called for the reservation. We ran back to the car and got masks, to be seated outside by the lake. It was beautiful scenery but we were never greeted by a server, until we flagged one down. Apparently there was some mix up with the servers. We finally got our drinks and food and it was delicious. While it ended well (we were fed), the restaurant seemed a little out of order and mismanaged. I would try it again though, if I was in town.

Delicious bbq and ample outdoor seating with sun cover for dining during covid. Portions are excellent

Great time, enjoyed the band. Enjoyed the food & the view of the sunset

We are listening to live music with our great tasting meals overlooking the lake

Everything from the veiw to our waitress was phenomenal. The calamari was on point, along with the Driftwood burger & sweet potato fries. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you!

Great band the Astrocats.....loves the green bean fries too lol

Very nice staff and awesome food

Damn good wings.

Amazing food. Loved the pumpkin soup

Closed rt now

Hidden local gem where the family can enjoy delicious walleye dinner and local bands on a lake view patio! Highlight of our trip!

Nice atmosphere in the summer. Sit out on deck listen to music, have a drink or a meal. Owners are good people as well.

A hidden gem on the shores of the North Coast, also known as the shore line of Lake Erie. Despite the location, a must visit for great lake perch.

Have to try the perch tacos which two in our group had. Both said the meat was tasty and in a crunchy breading. Good mix with the Cole slaw. The gals said "have to try them"! I went with the Jr. Burger. Ordered medium and it came out...... Medium!! Homemade buns, along with bacon (thick slice);slice of American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion! Absolutely fantastic.

Also had live entertainment with a band that fronted Grand Funk Railroad, the Doors, David Bowie, and Joe Walsh. Really good entertainment on a Friday evening.

All you Westies need to grab your Google maps get out out here. Also find the owner Lois and introduce yourself, she's worth the time as well.
