| - Went to check out Drake One Fifty before committing to a large group lunch I am planning. Great location and nice decor. A bit loud, but I didn't really expect it to be a quiet place. Server was helpful in choosing a drink. Ordered the Rabbit Carbonara. Yikes! Terrible. Pasta was underdone (not even al dente), temperature was not good, and the combination of unidentifiable vegetables was confusing. When I see carbonara, I expect simple... cream, cheese, egg, peas, pepper. Far too much going on. Was inedible. The server did not ask me how my meal was and the (full) bowl was taken away by another server without question. I did not want to complain as I was in mixed company (and sometimes one must just keep their mouth shut). However, when the server asked if I wanted dessert, I told him I have to go get lunch somewhere. He did not hear me for some reason... probably the level of noise in there. This restaurant has potential, but the menu was limited and uninspiring. It's really a shame. Will go back for drinks, but it needs to earn me back for a meal.
