They did not disappoint. My girls celebrated Glentines Day and enjoyed every bit of our experience at Drake’s! The food was delicious, the service was great. Chris was our waiter and he was very attentive, professional, and helpful with recommendations. Will definitely be returning.

Love the food and ambiance here. Our server however was not attentive. I ordered the spicy salmon on crispy rice and she said three times “it’s raw” I sternly replied I KNOW. She never brought out the spicy tuna and I was really upset about it. When I told her we were celebrating a birthday she finally cracked a smile. Didn’t like the service tonight :(

Drake’s offers great food and a pleasant ambiance, but there were a few drawbacks during my visit. The dishes we ordered were delicious, but the strawberry cake was disappointing—it lacked flavor and wasn’t enjoyable. The atmosphere was nice, but the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. We had to ask the waiter twice to adjust the air conditioning, and it still didn’t improve. Overall, it was a mixed experience—great food, but room for improvement in other areas.
