Drake’s Houston: A Memorable Dining Experience with Minor Flaws
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Our first visit to Drake’s Houston was an overall delightful experience. The branzino was cooked to perfection, delivering a rich, flavorful taste that truly stood out. The 21 salad, packed with fresh seafood, large shrimp, and creamy avocado, was delicious, but the shrimp could have benefited from a bit more seasoning to enhance their flavor.
Service was attentive, even as our server managed both our table and a large group in the private dining area—a testament to his professionalism. The bartender also impressed us, handling a shortage of Sauvignon Blanc by recommending an alternative that turned out to be an excellent choice. Additionally, the Pinot Grigio we enjoyed was crisp, clean, and introduced us to a brand we hadn’t tried before—a nice touch.
The ambiance is a highlight at Drake’s, with rich reds, warm lighting, and elegant decor that creates a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The attention to detail in the wall art and fabrics enhances the overall vibe, making it a space you want to linger in.
While our experience was close to a 4.5, we’ll aim for a table in the main dining room or at the bar next time to soak in more of the lively energy we love. Drake’s Houston has made it to our list of go-to spots, and we look forward to returning soon!
