I’ve been dying to go to Drakes and it did not disappoint. It was a quiet night. The service was top tier. Our waiter, Anthony, was amazing. Had great recommendations! Not a lot of people there, so we missed out on the vibes. But definitely will be back!

Great neighborhood restaurant in a good location. The service was impeccable including the employees who helped with my elderly mother and her walker. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The food was fabulous and dishes were made with imagination, for example the brussels sprout salad. Excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Houston.

We had read previous reviews that were not so great but decided to give this place a chance to see if things had improved. Taylor was very instrumental in a 5 star review. Seems like all issues have been resolved and we fully enjoyed the dining experience.
