Drift Kitchen & Bar - Hutchinson Shores Resort

Food and service is beyond. Waiter was exceptional and amazing 👌. Thank you Mr. Chad. Return is a must here. Highly recommended. Gluten free YES!

Went at 4 pm today with another couple and sat outside at the ocean side bar. Ordered drinks and some appetizers. After 30 minutes asked about appetizers and were not properly placed. 10 minutes later received appetizers and were good. Later ordered 2 pizzas, one gluten free. Again 30 minutes later asked about pizzas and they made a mistake with the gluten free pizza. 15 minutes later we get the regular pizza which was barely warm and burnt cheese. 10 minutes later get gluten free pizza which was under cooked. Split the bill with the couple we were with and charge it. After the cards were charged I noticed we were charged $14 for 2 vodkas. The bartender left with my card to meet with the manager. 25 minutes later he returned and gave me my new bill which was $2 less. I questioned it and requested a manager. John the manager responded and stated “ I’ll take care of it and remove some appetizers “. 5 minutes later I get the bill and only the $14 over charge was removed. We approached John the manger who states “ I only did what the bartender told me”.I told him that’s not what you said and you just lied to our faces. Very disappointed with manager John. We spent 30 minutes just sitting around waiting for them to fix their mistakes. I never post reviews but I did this time due to the manger not fixing the problem and not being truthful.

Without a doubt this location is amazingly decorated. I don’t recommend the restaurant for persons with gluten allergies or other dietary requirements. Even though their menu states gluten free options, they were completely unaccommodating. When I asked for a plain fresh vegetable, I was told that I could not have it. When I asked for white rice, it wasn’t available. We had a clear conversation with the waitress whom consulted with the chef about my dietary restrictions. We requested that everything be served on the side. I received a pile of mixed vegetables in the Risotto and the shrimp was finely chopped and basically non existent in the risotto and topped with 3 scallops. They were unclear regarding the preparation of the meal and failed to indicate that the shrimp was chopped up in the risotto which was not gluten free because of the sauces. As a result my meal was 3 seared scallops for $50! Their offer was to remove a drink at the cost of $13. It was not until after we argued with the manager that they removed the meal from the bill, and put the drink back on the bill. Big thumbs down! Ruined evening and will never take family or friends.
