    A high end, up scale and sophisticated dining experience. Be sure to check out the live jazz performance schedule and reserve your table accordingly. Enjoy delicious plates served in a fully encompassing jazz club style restaurant, complete with a cocktail of course. I’ll meet you at the Drake.

    It’s no wonder it’s hard to find reservations at The Drake in Laguna. This place is a vibe and then some. The drinks are fantastic and the food is top notch. The service is always friendly and prompt. What makes this place complete is the entertainment. The Fish dishes were my favorite 💯

    They just called us to cancel our reservation in the lounge because someone powerful enough just booked entire lounge. We already built our plans to listen to talented Lia Booth there, however this place doesn't treat their customers well and easily cancel ALL reservations in the lounge for someone else. Why you guys even provide the reservations service, if you don't obey to reservations made in advance??? Food is good in this place to be fair

    The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. Taylor, our waiter, was the paragon of excellence in customer service — he suggested excellent menu items and cocktails. The hostess was very kind and attentive. The food was exceptional — if I’m picking favorites, I suggest the filet mignon, rib eye, beet salad and tiger shrimp (this also happens to be everything we had). The live Jazz band made for the best ambiance. All in all, highly recommended!

    Our first time here, every dish was amazing. We been planning to dine here for months and already are looking forward to the next. Live entertainment was a ice touch and harkened back to am era of wonderful supper clubs. We were able to meet the chef nick and offer our gratitude for his awesome creations. Were definitely foodies and this menu offered so many choices we have to come back. Loved every minute.

    A new discovery for me in Laguna. I didn't really know about this place before coming, and I'm glad we did. I was here celebrating a friend's birthday. The place is nice they have live music. We were seated right next to the band. It was a little loud, so if you want to enjoy conversation, I'd recommend requesting a table further away. Our server was great. The food was excellent. My fav bites were the duck and lamb starters. Both were delicious and perfectly cooked, and even the Fries were so good, and the sauce that came with it was awesome. We had the ribeye and the pork chop, and again, perfectly cooked and tasty, the slaw that came with the pork chop was amazing too. It was a bit on the pricier side, and they did charge an entertainment fee, so keep that in mind when you go. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd come back for sure.

    Dined here frequently in 2019, loved their takeout during the pandemic, and they’re still first rate. The halibut is clean and glorious! It’s the real deal - top notch with friendly staff and excellent music

    We enjoyed a lovely night here with some excellent dishes and wonderful music. Was expecting Jazz but got serious dose of 90’s alternative acoustic style. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The fries are tremendous as was the pork chop. Will definitely be back.
