Drai's HollywoodAmazing!I went for a friend's birthday and enjoyed amazing food! The 6 ounce filet was delicious and perfectly cooked. Our server, Ella, was very knowledgeable and recommended some excellent appetizers. The spicy tuna tartare had to be my favorite appetizer, it was such a unique dish the way it was presented! The creamed corn is a must-have, I have been craving it ever since I left. The manager was wonderful, she greeted us when we arrived and checked in periodically to make sure we were enjoying everything. Overall, it was a great experience- when the restaurant ended, the nightclub opened up and we were able to enjoy the DJ and club atmosphere without leaving the venue. A+ for Drai's!5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMDrai's first timersWent there looking for outdoor eating .
Unfotunately for all , weather was not so kind .
Had indoor meal which was excellent .
Little did we know that this was the new Hollywood hotspot .
Didn't stay that long . We left after dinner .
When we later saw the local commercial on TV . It sure looked like the place to be .
Next year on another visit from Europe , we might join this scene .
For now our diningexperience was pretty good .5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMChange of paceDrai's doesn't get going until LATE. We arrived for a 7:30P table and were the only patrons there until 8:30P at least. GREAT view from the roof of the W hotel. Menu is not that varied, a few conventional beef/steak choices, a few fish entrées, and about 10 appetizers. So while the food is perfectly decent, you would not go to Drai's for a culinary adventure.
But the vibe of the place is fun, built for partying. Rooftop pool, tented pavilions, and clearly once it gets going at night this is a hopping spot for patrons of a certain age (i.e., younger or trying to be) with money to burn. If you came at 8P with 10 people, you'd likely have your pick of tables and the place pretty much to yourself, until the regular crowd rolled in.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was a fantastic placeThis was a fantastic place to eat dinner and hang out at the bar and on to the dance floor after 11am. The Lychitini and Nectar Pear cocktails ROCK. The service was awesome.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMI was very impressed by theI was very impressed by the quality of the food and its presentation.

While I don't mind, I have to say that it's up to customer to decide what to tip. That being said I know there are lots of folks that get shorted but I thought this was a bit presumptuous. Besides that it's an awesome place!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great pre-theatreWe had a great pre-theatre meal. The food was wonderful and the service was too.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AM
