Nice chill environment. The food is absolutely delicious and you really do get your moneys worth. If you go, you definitely have to try the taste of soul With the oxtails. The oxtails rice and gravy ,yams , greens and I added a side of spinach were so delicious. Also I had a strawberry orange juice to drink as well really really good. My overall experience was nice. I would give taste a 10 out of 10 and I would definitely be back. Highly recommended if you go here, you will not be disappointed.

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.
