Seafood

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

The Drake is fine seafood, extreme hospitality, and dining made just a little more special. From the moment you take a seat at the oysterette bar or sink into one of our booths – we want you to dive into great conversation and amazing dishes.

We serve fresh, sustainable seafood, cultivating relationships with fisheries and fishmongers near and far. And we love being part of the local streetscape and community of the Uptown 23rd Street District.

“May you have fair winds and following seas” is how sailors of days past would wish someone a safe journey. That’s our wish for you – for all of us. Fair winds. Good fortune. Great dining experiences with friends and family. At The Drake.

It was the first time visiting The Drake and sad it had to be the last since you are closing. I really loved my time and even loved seeing local community leaders enjoying their time.

As always The Drake was wonderful. Since this was literally our last hoorah at The Drake we treated it as such and tried to order all of our favorites. Our server, Brittany, who remembered us from our prior visits, was charming and attentive. I’m heartbroken for the staff and that OKC is losing our only fresh seafood restaurant.

Fantastic choice for a special occasion. We enjoyed our waiter Ray, and the food was delicious. We received extra hush puppies and a free desert when a small mistake was made with our order. It was absolutely no problem and handled well and with grace. Thank you for a lovely evening. We’ll be back!

Great as always. We’re out from out of town and don’t get in here enough. So sad they’re closing. Seth is great and the food was top. I had the blackened redfish and my wife had scallops. I’m not sure where we’re going to eat good seafood like that now in okc.

We were pretty disappointed in our meal at The Drake last night. I know they are getting ready to close, but it felt like they have just totally given up on what made it one of our favorite places. Our table was not ready when we arrived on time, even though the restaurant was not very busy. It took 35 minutes to get our drinks. Apps were done by that time. Salads were underdressed, wimpy, and poorly portioned. They were out of bread. We were seated next to a family with two kids watching something at full volume on an iphone. For the cost of this meal,
