   Finally made it there after driving by numerous times and hearing what a great place it is. We were not let down! Food was EXCELLENT as was the service and entertainment. We started with the Wagyu Beef Tataki. I could go back and just have a couple of orders of that for dinner! I had the Prime Angus Ribeye. Great seasoning, cooked perfectly medium rare. I'd definitely have it again. We finished off with the Three Chocolate Parfait. Those were so good that I could have eaten about six of them :). We also had a bottle of the Chateau Montelena Cab. That paired very well with everything. The music was perfect! We're definitely planning on returning many to times to try more items from the menu and to enjoy the ambiance.

   I have been to the restaurant many times. Usually the food is great so i’m writing this review to help them out. The scallops were tasteless, a little rubbery and cold. Nothing like the maine scallops. The french fries were outstanding. The halibut dish made a new way was bland also half the size. The $75 steak was good. The salmon was small and not cooked the way my friend requested. Appetizers burrata cheese and shrimp were good. Be aware that 4 dinners, and broccolini,two appetizers, 2 cocktails and a corkage fee of $25 with the tip the bill was over $500

   A beautiful gem tucked away in a romantic, cozy setting. Live music, great food, and friendly staff will have you coming back for your next date night. I recommend checking the schedule for your favorite artist and making reservations early. This intimate dinner and show is a must-see!

   Drakes is my new favorite restaurant for food, entertainment, drinks, and ambience. We had phenomenal service from start to finish. I highly recommend Ahi Tuna Tartare and Steak Tataki appetizers. Drinks were strong and delicious.

    This was me and my wife's first time visiting The Drake. The retro feel of sort of going back in time was a really cool sensation. We were there for a jazz performance from the Lola Kristine Trio group that night. It was a great performance from Lola, we're new fans. The attentive service from our waiter was impeccable. He was an awesome conversationalist. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Every bite was flavorful and savory. The food was equally matched by Lola's performance. She was very, very good. Her compositions and interpretations of what she played were effortlessly amazing. She is incredibly talented. It was an extraordinary night with all our senses fulfilled. Thank you.
