the food was excellent, as well as the service & atmosphere! have been there many times! margaret is so nice & a great server. all her recommendations were delicious !

Service was great! They tume every course perfectly , even if your not drinking you do not feel rushed. They start with some warm rolls and butter. We then had a salad and the calamari both delish and great portion. Shared both. I had shrimp and Grits for my entree my husband had the shortribs. Both delish. We will be back.

An amazing meal. Everything was delicious and the service was great. The only possible negative is that it is a little loud if that matters to you.

This place is set in an adorable downtown Keyport area. The interior is causally elegant with dark wooden floor/walls and a relaxed ambiance. When we walked in, it was a little loud just because most of the tables were filled. We had an 8:3pm reservation on Saturday night. We decided to sit in the back in front of the kitchen as it was a little quieter. It's byob so brought some wine! Our waitress, Margaret, provided the specials/recommendations, expedient service and was very kind. She offered to take my boyfriend and my picture. We started with the Caesar saad and calamari. Chef Drew was nice enough to give us a complimentary Voodoo shrimp app which I highly recommend! The salad and calamari were great as well. I liked the southwestern flair with tortillas in Caesar salad. The l calamari was fresh and airy and loved the dipping sauces. My boyfriend and I both tried the scallop dish. So delicious!!! To finish we had a delectable espresso, coffee and the special strawberry chocolate cake for dessert. Outside the bathroom and around are many articles on the Chef and the restaurant. I only started reading a few and was already impressed by his work! Only makes sense for him to have such a cute restaurant with great staff and amazing food in his hometown of Keyport.

Drew's Bayshore Bistro is a gem in Keyport. There is an open kitchen concept and tables at the bay windows. The interior isn't anything crazy but it gets the job done as it is clean. The food will take you to a journey down south and this is where the fun begins. The voodoo shrimp is excellent especially the jalapeño corn bread that is at the bottom. Also tried a special which was a pate made with duck liver and applewood bacon. The dish was excellent when eaten with all the elements of the dish as it felt like a complete dish that touched sweet, salty, crunchy, and game. The Nashville Hot chicken has heat to it so if you are not one for hot food I wouldn't order it but if you are you will think it is not hot enough. Either way I found it to be a good dish. The Dr.Pepper Braised short rib was great as I enjoyed the jus and the sweet potatoes that the short rib was placed on. The short rib needs to be eaten with the jus or else it did not taste seasoned enough. I will go back here again and try different dishes from the menu.

Everything about this place is amazing! The vibes, the staff, the menu, and the fact it is byob. This was my second time coming here and just like the first, I can't wait to be able to come back. I really enjoy the fact the menu here changes. This time around, I got the duck (my first time having duck) and it was so crispy on the outside yet so tender on the inside. Duck is now being added to my repertoire. My friend got the pork chop and just like last time it was juicy and seasoned perfectly, and all the accoutrements went well with the flavor profile. Our appetizers were great, the shrimp was tender and the rice balls hot and steamy when they came out. For dessert, we got the sorbet/gelato which was refreshing to end the night with, and the bread pudding was just the right amount of chocolate.

Came here on a random weekday and the place was busy. Actually made a reservation over the phone to ensure a table. We were seated by the front door. I normally don't mind where I sit but they don't have a closed entry to keep the cold out so anytime someone left I got a huge draft. That's really the only negative thing I have to say. In to the food... it was delicious. We got an appetizer, entrees and dessert and all were very good. They have a lot of specials to choose from too. Btw this place is BYOB and they left you know when you're making a reservation so you can pick something up on the way if you want. I will definitely come back.

We had made reservations in advance to celebrate a birthday. The location is close to the keyport bay, nice place to take a walk before or after if you are having dinner at this location. We arrived on time and were seated promptly. The space is modern with a twist of wood furnishings, simple black ceiling and lighting. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. Bread, butter, water and ice bucket for BYOB at our arrival. Most amazing dinner ever. We started with the seafood bisque soup, oysters, voodoo shrimp and escargot (my personal favorite for the best butter garlic blended flavors). Simply ammmmmmazing. For the main meals we went with the short ribs and crawfish etouffee. So good. Highly recommend all our choices but these for sure were great. Desert we went with cappuccino and the Apple beignets. So hot and fresh. Done perfectly. Our main waitress was sweet and checked on us often. Met all our needs and was pleasant when explaining the daily special dishes and desserts. We can not wait to come back !!!!!

I have had Drew's on my radar for 3 years, I finally made a visit and I was not disappointed. Reservations are a must, 2 week lead time is ample. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, while the brick walls add a warm ambiance. The open kitchen is a wonderful touch. Service is fantastic but not intrusive. The restaurant is BYOB The menu is Southern style with Many twists and turns. On this evening we ordered the Panzanella special salad and Voodoo Shrimp to start. Both are successful dishes. The Shrimp are cooked perfectly while I was hoping for more spice. The salad was perfectly dressed and the croutons were delicious. My wife had the shrimp and grits for an entree, very well executed with the lovely surprise of thick cut bacon on top. The scallop entree was enjoyed by one of our dining partners. I had the Blacked Rib eye and BBQ shrimp over Mashed Potatoes special, it was absolutely fantastic and a great value for $50 The meal was complete with Apple cider Beignets. I am looking forward to returning.
