    My wife and I started our anniversary with some wine and appetizers at the Drake and it was wonderful. We had the  Lona Faye’s Four ‘H’ Club, the Yellowfin Crudo, and the Baked Oysters. All three were good but the Yellowfin Crudo was outstanding. We continued to eat the  sauce with our bread after we finished the fish. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good food and outstanding service.

    We reserved a table for Christmas Day dinner. It was outstanding! Valet parking was included with validation. The staff were warm and friendly, and added to the festive atmosphere wearing Christmas-themed attire. 4 course meal with plenty of options. The food tasted great and was custom paired with a different Napa Valley wine for each course. Best Christmas dinner I’ve ever had… and that’s saying a lot, considering I’ve had over 50 years of experience. Thanks for an amazing experience!
