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.

Excellent restaurant. 5/5 in all areas. Had the Miso Salmon and it was some of the best tasting Salmon I’ve had in a long time. My guest enjoyed their meal as well. Staff is very friendly and everything was served in a timely manner. Best dining experience I’ve had in Houston so far.
