   The Drake in Laguna Beach offers an exceptional dining experience with a perfect blend of great food, live music, and outstanding service. The steak and salmon were both cooked to perfection—flavorful, tender, and beautifully presented. The live music added a fantastic ambiance, making the evening feel special and lively. Service was attentive and professional, ensuring a seamless dining experience from start to finish. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, The Drake delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

   Thanks for a wonderful evening. Food was great, but Emily’s hospitality made our evening. Keep up the good work.

   We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and it was such a wonderful experience. The restaurant is quaint with such a nice jazzy vibe. The food, drinks and service were excellent. We will definitely be back!

   The best in class in OC!! From arrival and reception by a gracious beautiful hostess to the service by a caring guy (Tim), to the food that was absolutely first class! We love this place. We live mostly in Manhattan NY surrounded by really good restaurants and only part time here in OC. And I would put Drake amongst the best! Obviously the restaurant is managed properly, the ‘Chef’ and the staff are world class and never disappoint! I highly recommend this restaurant.

   This was our first time at The Drake. It was such a great experience. The waitress, Emily was great. The couple that was sitting beside us was really fun, and the food was so delicious. I love the ambiance, kind of art deco. We had such a great experience!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!!!

    This was our second time at the Drake…we had an amazing meal the first time, the Venison and Filet was amazing. So we took our mom for Vday and it just wasn’t very good, sadly. I had the Venison again it was food not great this time. My mom had the pork chop and it had zero flavor, it was cooked well but just no flavor. My SO had the ribeye this time and it was terrible, so much fat it was ridiculous. Our appetizers were great, service was great but the food was sadly mediocre this time. Probably won’t go back.
