    It’s not every day you find a tasting menu so influenced by Argentinian and Brazilian cuisines while using in-season ingredients. We appreciated every bite of every dish and the experience of the service. The staff was wonderful and explained how special each dish was and how it was influenced.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Drakes, celebrating a birthday. The food was outstanding! We had the fish with cannellini beans and mushrooms in the most delicious broth, the grilled asparagus, which was cooked perfectly, and started with the charcuterie board with fabulous local cheeses and meats! Our waitress, Kelsey was very attentive and personable!
