   This is definitely a top steakhouse in Dallas. The ambience was amazing. It is valet included and they’re so professional handling your car and opening your doors, we tipped the guy $10. Before we got seated my husband was asked if he had another shirt but we carefully checked the dress code online and we believe it was just a misunderstanding on the kind of shirt it was. The hostess said that it was a graphic tee but it was a Stine Goya shirt perfectly paired with his limited edition Christian Louboutin shoes (not a graphic tee at all); we were told it would be a one-time exception but to our surprise there were several guests with actual outfits that went directly against the dress code policy. I suppose they all had an exception too. The hostess did take pictures of us when she didn’t have to, we appreciate that and the pictures came out wonderful. Of course with your reservation you’ll get seated right away. We ordered Japanese wagyu and Delmonico steak, lobster mac, the chocolate pie and pepperoni pizza for our boy. Everything was good but wagyu was preferred over Delmonico because it just tasted more premium and it was tender, perfect texture with amazing flavor. We paid just under $500 and we do not agree it was worth that; from our long experience with top upscale dining, we think this meal could have been $300-$400 perhaps. There were no sides included with what we got, wagyu was $232 alone (: They did have a person singing live, it was really nice and we’d go again. This was my mother’s day dinner and we do recommend.

   First time at Drake’s and it was superb! Mother’s Day and 2 birthday celebrations at our table for the evening. Sunday live music was awesome. Pizza, 2 steaks (Delmonico and Filet), Seabass and Grilled Branzino all perfectly prepared!! Strawberry Cake to top off the evening. Probably one of the best dining experiences my family has had. Thank you Drake’s for an outstanding night out.

   Drake’s Hollywood has the ambiance and branding of a stylish, old-school steakhouse, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the hype. Service started off poorly with an unwelcoming hostess and an unusual policy requiring my guest to close her bar tab before being seated. Our server, Amira, was the highlight of the evening—warm, attentive, and enthusiastic. The menu was difficult to read due to tiny print in worn plastic sleeves. A Bulleit bourbon old fashioned arrived with rye despite specific instructions, and the crab rangoons had an unpleasant, fishy taste—suggesting the filling wasn’t fresh. The Caesar salad had great presentation but lacked the expected crispness, as it used butter leaf instead of romaine. My ribeye was overcooked, and though I didn’t send it back, the mistake went unnoticed. The most disappointing moment came when the assistant GM informed us we had overstayed our reservation and needed to move to the bar—despite multiple empty tables and no wait. A gift card and apology followed, but the experience was soured. Amira was genuinely apologetic, and her service was excellent. However, inconsistent execution and a lack of hospitality made this a one-and-done visit. Drake’s may have style, but the substance simply wasn’t there.

   Went for my daughter’s birthday. The atmosphere is fun and attractive. Our server was outstanding . we loved the hamachi sashimi. The branzino was very flavorful. 2 people ordered the chicken and didn’t really care for it. The cake was delicious

    Great experience! Music was a bit loud to have conversations but a lively fun environment. Excellent service and food.
