This establishment has been here for more years than I can remember...childhood. changed hands to a couple that open it on weekends mainly. Good food per my inlaws. Good music..patronized by the locals and vacationers. Lakeside view. Outdoor venue also for summer gun,food,musi c and more.

Okay you can’t find a better place to eat and watch the lake and sunset

Very good food and service

Great water dining experience!

Very nice servers! Yummy sweet potato fries!

Great place to eat on a patio on Lake Erie. Good service, friendly staff.

Its so hard to find really good restaurants in this area, especially one with a view. The few we frequented had amazing views but terrible food. This is a clear exception. We finally found the diamond in the rough. The atmosphere was extremely calm and quiet unlike what you would get on Geneva-on-the-Lake. The socially distanced tables outside are right on the beach, and they also had flowers growing attracting butterflies which was amazing. Our server was extremely kind and fun to chat with. We immediately noticed the small and seasonal menu which is always a good sign of quality, fresh food. We ordered fried calamari to start and we were shocked at how fresh they tasted. It was clear that the squid was quality and cooked very well. For our meals we got the walleye tacos which were a total knockout. Super fresh, delicious, well balanced, and the chipotle aioli was to die for. I must have told our waiter 3 times to tell the chef how impressed we were. We went during lunch so the there really wasnt a wait. For those who have left this restaurant a 1 star because of the wait can kick rocks. The view was so relaxing I would have been willing to wait even longer if needed, there is no reason to be in a huge rush for good food. Also, the restaurant has limited seated and only one chef. Plus, if theres a wait that means theres a lot of people who want to eat here, which is a GOOD THING. Just chill out and feel the breeze of the lake on your face and relax for once. If you want to go to a place where you dont have to wait, the food wont be good.

Anyway, 10/10 cannot wait to come back here again.

AMY this girl makes the best drinks and bloody marries

Great view waitress quick with orders

Sweet, private little spot right on the lake complete with a little beach area. Full bar and typical bar food. The perch was delicious. Check out the live music in the evening!

Very friendly waitress, quick service,not fancy but good food and friendly atmosphere.

Geart little place on the lake. Very friendly staff and the food was good. Also very dog friendly. Don't miss the sunsets!

Food was great. Service was great.

What a great restaurant, the food is tasty and reasonably priced, the owners and staff were very friendly. I'll definitely be back.

Food service live entertainment. Great.

The burger was so good I went back! It's an easy drive from Erie, the food is great, my burger was cooked to perfection, and the Bloody Mary was excellent! My companion's perch sandwich was giant and perfect! The outside eating area is glorious! The garden, the waves lapping at the shoreline, heaven for an afternoon!

Driftwood Pointe is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The staff and owners are the hardest workers I've seen in a long time. I definitely recommend there food and the view of the lake is outstanding!

Great food , wonderful patio on water .

Great location, nice people. Food was very good. Will be back.

We been looking for a place up by the water to eat that isn't in downtown Geneva On The Lake that is always busy.

We found this place by looking at a map of the area.

Food was good and we didn't wait a long time for it, prices were reasonable and people were friendly and seemed to all know each other. (Local hangout maybe?)

We will be back.

Good food and service! Great music Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

My husband and I went to dinner there yesterday for the first time. We were cheerily greeted by the (hostess? owner?) and shown to a table despite not having a reservation. Our waiter Kam (Cam) was professional, timely and very pleasant. Walleye tacos and Perch Dinner were AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. The huge pieces of fish were very fresh and portions were quite generous. You may drive right by this place, but don’t. Stop and enjoy the hospitality, great food & drinks while taking in the gorgeous view of Lake Erie.

Amazing people work here! amazing food. so friendly !

Incredibly welcoming and kind to our big group. Cant beat the beautiful view and the food/drinks were delicious. Will come back every time Im in town!

We sat at a table outside as it was really hot inside. Took a while to get food but we weren't in any hurry. The staff were all very nice and the food was great! Chicken wings were delicious and the Lake Erie Perch sandwich was good too. Great setting outback and it would be a perfect place to watch the sunset (we were just a bit too early).

Lived the food and atmosphere

Wow, we had an excellant day yesterday, Fathers Day. Alex Bevan...GREAT! The Walleye Tacos...PERFECTION on a plate. The Walleye platter was just as good. Amanda, our server, was super! We had a very nice Fathers Day, 2021!

OMG! Spent my 21st bday here with my friends and the waitresses were THE sweetest people ever and even gave my whole table a shot. They made you feel welcomed into their home and had amazing food and drinks! Greta prices so everyone can visit. Loved it!!!

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!
-Danielle W.

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.
