Attended a Birthday party at the Drake this past weekend.
The dinner reservation for 15 allowed us to sit upstairs, in the "tunnel" area, which was quite private and set away from the bar. It was a great spot for group conversations.
A price-fixe menu was arranged with lots of selection. We started with a fresh salad, with apple, toasted pumpkin seeds and blue cheese. Delicious and so refreshing! For the main, I had the crispy chicken with butternut mash. Also, good was the arctic char and steak. Most impressive was probably the dessert ~ a cheesecake, with sweet apples on top.
Service was amazing! Our waitress was attentive all night, even when bottle service for our group began.
Music around 10:00pm was mainly rock, with a mix of top 40.
The Drake is a good place to have a few drinks and get some appetizers. If you're looking to have a long dinner, a reservation is recommended.
