Bad evening
Pros:

I only went to an event an it was packed all over the hotel. Poorly planned, barely any staff, and just a mess with long wait times and barely any cleaning. Glasses were on the floor

Great steak and better service!
Pros:

My partner and I were visiting from out of town and had the most incredible date night at The Drake during half-price steak night. The steak was outstanding, but what truly made the evening unforgettable was the exceptional service from our server, Kai. Kai was warm, hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable, and offered thoughtful recommendations that made us feel genuinely taken care of. Their energy and attention to detail elevated the entire experience and turned a great dinner into a truly special night. We cannot wait to come back!

My friend and I have been dying to try the drake hotels brunch for quite some time now, and let me tell you this place did NOT disappoint!! The atmosphere and design of the space brings a certain upbeat lavish energy, while the food would cure any sunday scaries youre feeling. I had probably the best scones of my life here (pictured).

Impeccable service!
Pros:

We had an absolute blast staying at the Drake. We stayed in one of the suites (stunning) for a special occasion, hosted a dinner for 30 in the cafe, and ate at the cafe and main restaurant throughout the weekend. The service was excellent, especially for the private dinner. Want to shout out all the staff!
