It's rare that I would post top ratings across the board, but this establishment earns it! We went early (6pm) to catch dinner before a show downtown. The food was amazing! Our waitress was super friendly and on top of her game. I made a request for the bar which some places would be frustrated with, but instead they made us amazing drinks and genuinely cared about our experience. Can't wait to try SAT/SUN brunch!

Start to finish everything was incredible. We had the classics and also branched out to new items. The beet dish was the hit of the night! The spaghetti al limone was perfection.

Our dinner at Drake’s was just what we needed for a date night and a special time together for my boyfriends birthday. I appreciate the grace as we were running late and the team was accommodating and kind, even though we were behind schedule and closing was at 10p. Thank you for the hospitality. A little bit of kindness goes very long way.
