We always enjoy this restaurant. We brought our granddaughter who also loved it . My husband and I shared the octopus appetizer which was one of the best of this we have ever had. Then we had the pasta with clam which was outstanding. Our granddaughter had a Caesar salad and the truffle pasta made table side which she loved. She had the pistachio tiramisu which she loved as well. Service was excellent.

I’ve been dying to go to Drakes and it did not disappoint. It was a quiet night. The service was top tier. Our waiter, Anthony, was amazing. Had great recommendations! Not a lot of people there, so we missed out on the vibes. But definitely will be back!
