   Pros: 1. Despite our discerning tastes, all 6 of us loved every app & main ordered - roasted artichokes, spicy tuna crispy rice, snow crab, avocado wedge, spicy Caesar, pasta Za Za, grilled branzino, NY strip, broccolini, and lobster Mac. Everything was well seasoned and presented in an appetizing way with appropriate plate sizing (something that often goes overlooked). 2. Generous portions were great for sharing and trying everything! 3. Drinks were strong and balanced (various martinis) and the somm recommended the perfect wine when our first choice was sold out 4. Good vibes with the decor, lighting, and music Cons: 1. We had a reservation for 6 way ahead of time, but still seated at a round booth intended for 4, maybe 5 max 2. This made the table pretty crowded with multiple glasses and plates per person. It was a struggle for sharing. And then a waiter knocked a full water glass onto my partners lap ☹️ (note: in most nicer Houston restaurants, this would typically mean an automatic comp on *something* but did not here) 3. We discussed with our server the debate between med rare and medium on the strip to suit all tastes, and went with medium based on server feedback. It came out medium well/well-done 🙁 4. All the desserts sounded amazing, we tried three (banana foster, strawberry cake, chocolate pie) and I’ll say that none will be ordered again. Just a few too many hiccups to go unnoticed, but overall a good time with great food

   I came to Drake’s Hollywood for my fiancé’s birthday and everything was so nice. The hostess was very kind and seated us immediately. Our waiter was patient and helped us to pick drinks and entrees that he thought we would like. And lastly, the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend especially for a special evening out! 10/10

   Great food. Exceptional service. I’d like to commend Charles, our server at the Houston location. His attentiveness, professionalism, and care in accommodating our son’s food allergies were exemplary included the trips back to our table to carefully dictate how his food would be prepared.

    While the food was excellent and the ambiance was stunning, my experience at this restaurant was soured by the poor service from our waitress, Natalia. From the start, there was a lack of clear communication. She failed to inform us that we would be charged $8 for water, which came as an unpleasant surprise on the bill. Additionally, receipts were mishandled, with charges ending up on the wrong cards—an unnecessary hassle. To top it off, Natalia did not mention the $20 fee for cutting a cake, leaving my party feeling blindsided. The overall experience could have been much better with a more attentive and transparent server. Wonderful food and aesthetic overall!
