| - Drake One Fifty is one of the more popular hangout spots after-hours during weekdays for all the financial district employees. I came here with two friends on a Wednesday night after work at around 6 and it was already packed with people!
As I walked in, I noticed there was a DJ playing some live beats as the area near the entrance is more for people who just want to have a drink after work at a bar. We were seated near the back where the dining area was.
After going through the menu, we ordered the following dishes:
Baked Oysters (comes in 4) - Appetizers
Tartare - Appetizers
Drake poutine - Appetizers
Margarita Pizza - Main
Fried Chicken - Main (Feature of the day)
The oysters, although baked, I was still able to taste the freshness of the oysters! Impressive!
The Tartare is somewhat different than the tartare you would see normally in other restaurants. Instead of the more common salmon and tuna, the tartare here uses raw sirloin, which for me was amazing because i LOVE raw beef!
Drake poutine is once again different than your normal poutine in other restaurants! The Drake poutine comes with chicken and the gravy they use tasted like it was mixed with teriyaki sauce which i really enjoyed!
Pizza was thin-crusted, normal and it was decent.
Fried chicken comes with watermelon cubes which are unique, two corns and three pieces of chickens! The chickens are all boneless and fried well, however, make sure you use the sauce provided with the chicken or else the chicken will taste dry!!!
Overall, I had a very good experience, I gave this place a 4 stars because it's kind of loud even though we were already in the dining area and the restaurants is VERY dim! Makes you want to sleep RIGHT after the meal!
PS - you probably asking if this restaurant is related to the Canadian singer Drake, the answer is no! The DJ didn't even play Drake's beats!!
