Testimonials
“I hosted my Baby Shower here last minute and Rachel and her staff were so helpful and accommodating. The food was great and awesome service.
Everyone loved it. Would definitely go here again whether it was for an event or just a group of friends.”
– Sophie Luck
“I recently organised a function at Drifters for my work, we had over 60 staff attend. Rachel from Drifters was accommodating and very easy to work with. I enjoyed organising this event because of how simple everything was. The food was delicious and the staff were excellent and attentive! We will be back!”
– Jessica Pitscheider
The service I got was incredible! From the reservations ladies to the lady who helped us when we were there. Half of us got there half an hour early, they got us seated and our wine sorted. We took some photos for our website and they allowed us to use different tables, at the end we had an extra 2 people coming when they added an extra table and a few more chairs. Nothing was a problem.
The food was so good! I’m blown away by everything the staff did for us, from the bar, reservations, front of house, chefs etc. Everything was incredible. Thank you for making the night amazing!”
– Leigh Miller
“I knew the restaurant was there, but didn’t know it was under new management. I walked in as I was looking for a venue to host my corporate function (a medical workshop). I was introduced to Rachel, who from day one was so helpful. Nothing was too hard and everything I needed logistically, menus, set up, flexibility, and everything else was easily dealt with.
Great staff on the day and very helpful. Everything I needed out of this venue came to the fore…not only professionally, but the attendees had fun. Great venue, great staff, drinks and food. Thanks Rachel and Drifters Wharf,We’ll be back!”
– Nick Green
“I hosted a lunch event for 30 women on Saturday at Drifters Wharf snf it was incredible from start to finish. With the very first meeting with Rachel (events coordinator), they made me feel comfortable and listened attentively to every detail I required. As this was my first event, they helped me through, communication via email was clear and they responded quickly whenever needed.
The event ran smoothly and was successful. The staff were friendly and catered to our needs. The day and the whole process was such a success I would highly recommend Drifters Wharf for any future lunch or dinner events. Thank you so much Isaac, Joel, Rachel, Amanda, Hannah and Team! I am so thankful for such a beautiful day!”
– Candice Boyd – Tribal Lunch Host
“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for making my daughter Alyssa’s baptism perfect! I love how you all work as a team. Throughout the day, the staff members kept asking if everything was good and if we needed anything.
Just wanted to thank you for the decorations and for fixing the backdrop—you made everything look so beautiful. Thank you, Drifters Wharf and Nicky. We will definitely be back.”
– Rosanna + Connor

I would definitely recommend Drifters Wharf as a venue for anyone’s work function or social event.”
