Swanky, Old Hollywood-inspired steakhouse with sophisticated cocktails at a large, circular bar.
"This lively Dallas restaurant sashayed its way into Houston’s Montrose in August, offering the glitz and glam of Old Hollywood with an approachable dining menu of American fusion. Diners can enjoy cracker-crust pizza alongside dry-aged steaks, spicy salmon crispy rice, and Hollywood-themed sushi rolls while downing signature cold martinis. End with bites of its cult-favorite 24-layer strawberry cake." - Brittany Britto Garley
"When it first opened, we thought it was a little too much. Then we started venturing there because many things close in the Park Cities at 9 or 10 p.m. We're late-night people, and we like that Drake's is open later. They have pizza, so if we can only commit to staying a short time, we can sit at the bar and soak up the vibe. The Caesar salad is also incredible. It has cornbread croutons in it. If you're up for some late-night food, they have a curly fries nacho situation that is the perfect nightcap." - Courtney E. Smith
"Melrose in West Hollywood is full of expensive, over-the-top restaurants you can skip. Drake’s is one more you can add to the list. This tacky Italian and sushi clubstaurant hails from Dallas and goes all in on the Old Hollywood theme: big red booths, a horseshoe-shaped bar, and a giant mural of “famous” people that includes Joe Rogan. While there are a couple of standout dishes (like a wedge salad with champagne vinaigrette), there's no need to visit a Hollywood-inspired restaurant from Texas when Dan Tana’s, an actual Old Hollywood restaurant, is two blocks away." - Brant Cox
"Bartise Bowden and Colleen Reed both picked this hot-spot steakhouse with a club vibe in Park Cities. For Bartise, the perfect meal at Drake’s means starting with the calamari, ordering a bone-in rib eye, and finishing with an espresso martini at the bar. Colleen calls it “my go-to spot for a celebration,” and recommends the mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, filet pizza, and the “heavenly” martinis." - Courtney E. Smith
"The cozy interior of Drake’s Hollywood, filled with circular red leather booths and overflowing with old Hollywood charm, is perfect for a gathering of any reasonable size. With ample shareable offerings such as oysters, Vin Scully fries, and their uniquely topped pizzas, the menu has something for everyone in your party to enjoy." - Leslie Chatman
