SUNSET OCEAN VIEWS AT THE ICONIC JERSEY SHORE

Internationally awarded, celebrity Chef David Burke is redefining New Jersey’s dining scene winning numerous accolades along his way. The first restaurant he opened in the Garden State established the recipe for his growing empire: a world class menu set in a fun, friendly, sassy ambiance reflecting each iconic location. That restaurant was DRIFTHOUSE by David Burke, which opened in 2018, which soon after earned “Best New Restaurant” by both Star Ledger and NJ Monthly.

The full-service oceanfront, year-round restaurant has a trendy, beach-chic interior serving a Coastal Italian-Mediterranean menu. During warmer seasons there is an outdoor dining deck. A private dining room with views and an authentic wood-burning fireplace provides a perfect setting for social and business events. DRIFTHOUSE, the only oceanfront restaurant in Sea Bright, is located in the Driftwood Cabana Club owned by the Stavola family, who have owned and operated the club since 1957!

Chef

The menu also features Chef Burke’s signature dishes like Clothesline Bacon, his patented Pink Himalayan Salt dry-aged prime steaks, vegetarian dishes, house-made pastas, seasonal desserts, premium wines from the world’s most notable wine regions, artisan cocktails and local craft beers.

Atmosphere 

Wanting to serve the freshest seafood on the Jersey Shore, Chef Burke installed a custom-made saltwater lobster tank and oyster spa. Subsequently, DRIFTHOUSE was listed among “The 20 Best Succulent New Jersey Seafood Restaurants Too Sensational Not To Try 2021” by 94.3 FM The Point and “The Best Seafood Restaurants in New Jersey 2021” by Best of NJ.
