The Drake reminds me of the Ace Hotels stateside. Chic, boutique hotel that's super hip and a place to be seen at. In fact, I'm a little torn with my rating. The place certainly gets plus points for style. It's completely instagram-worthy and anyone that's a style and design lover ought to check out its premises. The food was also quite good. I came for a quiet lunch and enjoyed my food and my time there. Food is a tad pricey but delicious. I imagine, if I lived in Toronto it would be the kind of place I'd come meet a date for cocktails. A venue you start at but ultimately go elsewhere for a foodie-worthy meal. So food was average at 3 stars but over all the experience and setting lends to a higher rating.
