Drake's Hollywood

I had been wanting to try Drake’s Hollywood for a while and was excited to finally go on 02/2/2026. Unfortunately, the service at the front really set the tone for the night. When we arrived, the male host did not greet us or say anything, even after I mentioned we had a reservation. It felt unwelcoming from the start. When I made the reservation online, there was an option to note if we were celebrating something, and I indicated that we were celebrating a birthday. However, there was no acknowledgment of it at all. A simple “happy birthday” would have gone a long way and made the experience feel more special. That being said, the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken parm and the pasta Zaza, and the Paloma was excellent as well. The kitchen definitely delivered. Overall, the

I really give this a 3/5 for several reasons. I work in an upscale restaurant myself, so there are certain things that I do expect when going to another “high-end“ or buzzy restaurant. I have been trying to come to Drake’s in Houston for quite some time, but we figured that since we were in Hollywood to just go to that one. I will say that I think when you’re at a well-known restaurant, you should always ask if the people have been there before and give some recommendations. I am one of those people that do appreciate those because if there is a hidden gem on the menu, TELL ME! I ended up getting an espresso martini, which was very good. However, when it comes to the actual meals, I feel like it was very lackluster. I got the chicken for my plate and all the pictures of DH there are che

Drake’s Hollywood was such a great experience. The food was amazing, the pizza and drinks were perfect, and the spicy vodka pasta was one of the best I’ve had. The service was friendly and attentive, and I loved the overall ambiance. Classy, fun, and definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

I would’ve given it a 5 if the Hot Honey pizza had more hot honey on it. The Zaza pasta was phenomenal. The place has good vibes. It did feel a bit pricey for what it is.

I have been wanting to go to Drakes since they opened but it never works out…. But finally we made it. Drakes is very dark and moody perfect for a date night or a spot to bring you mistress to. The drinks are strong great espresso martini. The portions are very big so think about sharing. My salmon was perfectly cooked and mashed potatoes was out of this world. Everything we order came out very flavorful and delicious. For sure will go back meow meow
