At Drake’s restaurant, red leather booths, caviar and “The World’s coldest martini” are all on offer in West Hollywood
A splashy Old Hollywood-inspired Texas restaurant has made its way to West Hollywood with global-and L.A.-inspired bites, “the world’s coldest martini,” 24-layer cakes, caviar, steaks, chops and filet mignon pizza. Drake’s, from Vandelay Hospitality Group, opened in Dallas in 2019, and on May 5 it debuts in L.A. with red leather booths and dishes such as bacon-and-jalapeño-smothered “Vin Scully Fries”; king crab rangoon; lobster escargot; Wagyu with truffle butter; chicken parmesan; cracker-thin-crust pizzas, including a vegan option; lobster-and-caviar mac and cheese; and steakhouse sides including twice-baked potatoes and Wagyu fried rice.
The bar menu riffs on classics but specializes in martinis (which can be found for $10 during happy hour at the bar), including one variety that stuffs olives with house-made bleu cheese. Drake’s in West Hollywood will open Sunday to Wednesday from 4 to 11 PM, and Thursday to Saturday from 4 PM to midnight.
