🤢 2/5 - Fun Environment But Expect a Big Dent in your Wallet

First time visit to Drake's last night. Took us forever to get a reservation and it was packed when we dined. Our server, Barbara was good. She was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful with the menu, and attentive. The food was very good. No table bread offered, which was a positive as we are cutting carbs. We enjoyed the Pasta ZaZa, Honey Truffle Chicken, Filet Scarlet, garlic spinach, and strawberry cake. The Burrata Caprese was exceptional and the best tasting tomatoes I can recall at a restaurant. The décor was great and we enjoyed the music. A fun atmosphere, but know that it is pretty loud between people talking and music. I truly support their strict dress code - jackets, no sandals or shorts, etc. Violate the dress code and you will not be allowed in. I respect that. Nice to see people not dressing like slobs when you go our for fine dining. Those were the highlights.
I have been to many fine dining restaurants around the globe, but my visit to Drake's Hollywood ranks at the top of the list of feeling significantly overcharged for what I received. The first example of this being they charged me a $1 for the large cube of ice for bourbon on the rocks. A $1 for an ice cube. In the words of John McEnroe, You cannot be serious! Who can't afford a $1, but I thought that was insulting and greedy. Next on the too costly list was dessert. I don't recall there being prices on the dessert menu, but honestly could have missed them. We had the strawberry cake. It was delicious. When the bill came out, the cake was $30! Granted a large slice of cake, but not much larger than at a fine steakhouse and $30? Ridiculous. Perhaps just me, but $29 for a fried chicken breast and $28 for rigatoni in vodka sauce seemed a bit much. I considered the NY Strip, but at $88 and no sides, it seemed like a crazy price I thought and probably too much steak, so I went to the filet. The steak I chose was good, but at $65 for a 6 oz filet with two shrimp and nothing accompanying it, even if perfectly cooked and flavorful, is way too high. So when you add spinach to go with the steak so you are not just eating meat, your 6 oz steak was effectively $77. Great wine by the glass list, but expect all the reds to be $20+. Cocktails were higher than most places by a few dollars, but not terribly higher.
I don't blame them for charging what they can get. For now, it is a money machine for them. It takes forever to get a reservation (so plan a few weeks out if you are interested) and when you dine, expect it to be full; even on a non-weekend night.
So in summary, pretty good food, outrageous pricing, so one and done for us.
