My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Drake’s Hollywood, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food and drinks were nothing short of amazing, with every bite and sip leaving us impressed. Our server, Natalia, went above and beyond to make our evening special—she was incredibly helpful with recommendations and made sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, perfect for a celebratory evening. We left with full hearts and full bellies and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for any special occasion or just a night out!

We had read previous reviews that were not so great but decided to give this place a chance to see if things had improved. Taylor was very instrumental in a 5 star review. Seems like all issues have been resolved and we fully enjoyed the dining experience.
