| - I really wanted to love this place but somehow everything fell short.
Probably 5 days after we made our reservation they announced that it would be "Drake Night" however nothing was communicated to us once the announcement was made. On the Monday (we went on the 24th) I received a call confirming my reservation.
Once we arrived at the restaurant we were walked though the whole place just so the hostess could get to another host stand, pick up menus then walk us back through the dining room to our table. Our server (Who was actually really sweet and attentive) proceeded to tell us that they only had 3/6 cocktails and about 4 popular menu items unavailable. Once we finished our first round of drinks we wanted to order a bottle of prosecco, but again, they had run out.
For Food we ordered the open faced gyoza, softshell crab maki, Lobster maki, Shrimp Tempura maki and the short rib. For dessert we had an off menu match tiramisu. Food was mediocre, Dessert was good.
Around 8 we decided to order another plate, it was at that time that our server asked us if we were told what time we had to leave....yes we were given a time that we had to leave due to the restaurant hosting "drake night" and essentially turning into a club. We were not told this in advance, or at the door, or when sitting down for our meal. At 845 a server started walking around handing out dessert menu's to all the tables, basically saying "time to go"....tasteless.
You are paying for the name and Drake's brand. That's what I expected for the food prices weren't surprising to me.
Finally, on our way out we decided to use the bathroom. There as a massive pool of water coming out the door which was not marked. we turned around and the "wet floor" sign was facing the wrong direction, not visible to somone not looking for it. A man, likely contractor, was standing outside the door saying "LADIES MOVE", not even apologizing or saying that there was another bathroom we could use. The hostesses were standing there staring around but not directing us or anyone else.
Would I come back? No, this was a one and done.
