Restaurants near Mueller Park

Our server, Maurice, was excellent. I appreciated the cadence with which he checked in on our table but, more importantly, his recommendations were outstanding. I do not think we would have ever considered the octopus but he was right by describing it as the best in the city. Otherwise, our table had a steak special, two different pizzas and the Vingole pasta. Besides the four cheese pizza not listing the hot honey on the menu, we all loved our meals, including the sweet panna cotta for my birthday.

Went with another couple on a cold rainy weeknight. Due to the weather the restaurant was only half full. The free valet was a very nice convenience, too. Everything we ordered, all family style and shared (5 kinds of oysters, fried chicken, gumbo, tuna torta, and shrimp dumplings) was outstanding. Our drinks (an old fashioned and a passionfruit gin cocktail) were delicious. Dessert was a nice treat, a giant “order how you want it with as many toppings as you want” sundae that three of us chose to order, each made our own way. All in all, it was a great evening with great food and great friends.

Definitely check out Drake’s! It was an amazing experience the food the drinks… Wow! Our server Charles made such great recommendations and wine choices that paired so well with the steak! If you dine here ask for him you will not be disappointed!

The best I tried so far in Houston! Great place to take clients or friends

From the moment we walked in until we walked out just phenomenal service. We went for our anniversary and the hostess told us happy anniversary and the waiter kept commenting on our anniversary- even remembered how many years we’ve been married! Everyone was so attentive and the food was OUTSTANDING. The waiter we had was by far the best waiter we have ever had (at any dining experience!) we will definitely be back.
