Took my wife here for her birthday. They started us out with complementary champagne which was nice and unexpected. We started with the Fries and spicy Caesar salad and bother were 10/10. I got a half and half pizza and both flavors were great. She had the spicy zaza pasta and loved it. Ended it with a strawberry cake that was also nice. Overall it was a great experience. Pretty pricey, but great for a special occasion. Would definitely go back!

I had an amazing experience dining here, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Thandie. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. She recommended the branzino, and it ended up being one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. You can tell she really knows the menu and takes pride in guiding guests to great choices. The ambiance of the restaurant was just as impressive—comfortable, inviting, and perfect for a great night out. Combined with Thandie’s friendly attitude and excellent service, it made the whole experience stand out. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I hope to be served by Thandie again.

After hearing about Drake's and seeing the many posts on social media, I finally decided to take my girlfriend on a birthday dinner. Overall, the experience was pleasant with some minor issues. The ambiance is great, but some parts are a bit crowded. I made a reservation for two and was hoping that the table would be a bit more private. However, I was seated in sort of a long booth, very close to others, which is a minor issue, nothing serious. They also ask for your card on file and charge a $35 fee for person if you do not show up. This is very understandable however I just wished their was more space. Despite that, we started off by sharing a side of lobster mac and cheese, which was very good. The noodles were a spiral noodle and had some bite to them and came in a creamy, very flavorful cheese sauce. The lobster tasted tender in a good way and overall came out great. The waiter in general was a bit more pushy with getting us to purchase more rather than explaining the menu and making sure we felt comfortable. The worst part of the experience that we had was while giving us a new plates after eating the Mac, my girlfriend had touched and found a piece of gum stuck under her plate. From a professional high establishment, I do understand mistakes happen, and people can be inconsiderate to do something like this. However I would have at least appreciated my waiter paying more attention to it as when I brought this issue up to him, I just got a very soft apology, I would have at least appreciated a compensation of at least the cheapest item I ordered. My girlfriend wanted the spicy rigatoni pasta, which is called The Pasta Zaza. I told the waiter that she would want to add Italian sausage to it, and he still looked at my girlfriend and asked her if she wanted to add any other proteins, completely ignoring me until I further mentioned again what she had wanted. The pasta was very flavorful, had a great creamy, spicy sauce that actually had spice, and the Italian sausage was very flavorful. The noodles were cooked perfectly. I myself, ordered The pizza “hot papi” which came with pepperoni, onions, jalapenos, and Mike's hot honey. The pizza, however, wasn't fully cut, and it was a bit difficult for me to get a proper slice. I also noticed that almost every bite I had, the cheese was falling off of the dough completely, which left me with bread and cheese that I had to put on top of each slice. The flavors were great however. I'm not big into grilled onions, but the onions were very flavorful. The jalapenos were not spicy, and the honey provided a nice spicy sweetness towards the savory cheese. We then ordered a 24-layer strawberry cake, which was pretty good, a bit on the drier side, and a little spongy, but definitely less sweet than most cakes, which is a positive for people who don't necessarily like an overly sweet cake. The strawberry syrup was very good. We took the rest of our food to go. However, the to-go containers were very small, and for a place like this, I would have hoped they would at least be a little bit bigger. We also ordered one drink called the Mexican, which was good and didn’t skimp on the alcohol. Overall, my experience was a bit underwhelming, the food was good and tastes fresh and of quality but overhyped a bit. I would try it again in hopes to have a better experience.

My recent visit to Drake’s Hollywood was absolutely fantastic, and a huge part of that was the incredible service we received from our server, Regie. From the moment we sat down, Regie made our entire dining experience feel speci. She was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. She took the time to walk us through the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything at the table was perfect throughout the night. You can really tell she takes pride in what he does, and that level of service truly elevated the whole experience. The atmosphere at Drake’s Hollywood is already amazing with its stylish, Old Hollywood vibe and energetic crowd, but Regie’s service made the night even better. She checked in at just the right times, kept the drinks flowing, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. It’s rare to come across service that stands out this much, and Regie absolutely delivered. Because her, our dinner wasn’t just good—it was memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for Regie again.

I quickly noticed why everyone loves to come to Drake’s Hollywood to celebrate their birthday or any special occasion, because they make you feel so special with the dessert! I loved their dessert options and I had the best server that recommended the Silk Pie Dutch Chocolate and the awesome sparkler. The filet and the lobster mac & cheese were both delicious! I was grateful to get an awesome server that made sure I had an unforgettable experience. This is your cue to book a reservation and have a great dining experience like I did!
