This is just a review of the food. Not the hotel or events.
I don't understand the praise for the food at the Drake. The menu is stuffy and the selection is limited. Everything is grossly overpriced, the portion size is small (even for Canada) and they are not very accommodating for various diets. I would call their style of cuisine "Fried Buttermilk Normcore".
As a place for drinks only, the Drake is decent unless it's Thursday - Saturday and then it will be slammed with a lot of people from the 905 who now infect the Ossington strip and trickle over area.
I like that they have a trivia night, but for brunch or dinner it really falls short of its looks and reputation.
They really need to re-evaluate their menu.
