The only thing I've ever been blown away by at the Drake is the bill.
The atmosphere is beautiful. I love coming during off times to meet with friends... but the food is always mediocre. And with prices where they are - I expect more. There is definitely more competition in the area than there has ever been.
I will happily pay for quality, but that's not something I've ever seen here. The cocktails are always too sweet. It's probably the only place I've ever been that's managed to make lobster taste bland.
