The Drake

Good not great. I went here on Father’s Day for some seafood. I was hoping that OKC finally had a seafood restaurant that would compare to some on the coasts. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
We had an outstanding waiter that was very knowledgeable of the menu and was very attentive to our needs.
As far as the food goes … The oysters were very good. Some a bit small but still very fresh and tasty.
The entrees are very small portioned. I had the halibut that was the special that night and it was over cooked. The rest of my family had salmon, cod and black ink Mac and cheese with chicken. All of the food was good but extremely pricey and just not much there.
I probably won’t be rushing back any time soon. But will make another trip sometime down the road.
Overall grade «C». Good food but too pricey for the quality and portions. I may stick to a good old fashioned steak!

God has answered my prayers! A great place for oysters in OKC. Pearl’s is Pearl’s, but The Drake is something new and exciting. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ Highly recommend. Come get a buzz off their cocktail menu, enjoy the oyster bar, order lobster roll and scallops. Get laid THAT NIGHT.

So I’ve been a couple times now, and it’s just fine. Now don’t get me wrong — there are some bright spots. Let’s start with the standouts — their chicken/​squid ink pasta dish is fresh, tasty and has precisely the right amount of heat to be flavorful without being painful. Pasta seemed freshly made, and the chicken was well cooked. The oysters, while of course not cooked, are very fresh considering where we happen to be. Kudos for keeping quality as high as possible.
Some of the other food is not quite as successful — I wasn’t especially sold on the catfish, nor the asparagus (admittedly hard to get right), nor the paella.*
And sadly, the cocktails I’ve had were really unbalanced and straight up aggressive. I’d have happily paid half what it cost for a cocktail, let one of the waiters punch me in the face, and probably would have felt about the same at the end of the night.
Finally, let’s talk about the concept. On the one hand, there’s nothing inherently wrong with tapas. On the other hand, sometimes places use it as an excuse to avoid keeping costs down since calling it tapas somehow makes it okay to shrink portions dramatically. It’s upper-​middle food at high-​end prices, and that’s also keeping me from going a bit higher. I’m thinking about where I could have eaten instead for the price and it’s really no contest.
So yes for a few dishes, a light snack, or a fresh oyster or two; no for a full meal. The Drake is still new enough that I reserve the right to change my mind, but I’m staying at 3 for now.
* The paella was the best I’ve had in quite awhile and still disappointing. There was a little bit of a rice-​a-​roni aftertaste that kept it from clicking for me.

My wife treated me to The Drake for Father’s Day week end, to beat the crowd we went on Friday without reservations. The hostess told us we had to wait for 1 ½ hours to seat us down, but we could eat/​seat at the bar without waiting, so we did. My wife thought that chairs were cold and not very comfortable. At the bar the service was outstanding, Audrey and Alex went out of their way explaining how the menu and how we can order. We started with a selection of raw Oysters, which at the bar are only $ 2.00 a piece. They came in a beautiful ice tray, with grilled lemons and 3 sauces to splash on the oysters. Growing up in Southamerica we eat most of our raw Seafood with plain lemon, the sauces were ok, but we prefer the simple flavor of lemon on our oysters. These were delicious. Then we had a mix of ceviche and others veggies ($ 16)that was unseasoned and lack again of lemon. The quality of the products were good, but we have to «dress» the ceviche with a little more lemon juice and salt and pepper, after that was good. The ceviche was a very small portion but very fresh and it came with some very well executed crispier tortillas. Then we asked for the seafood paella ($ 37), which was a good size, my wife and I shared every plate, and this made up for the small portion of the ceviche. Everything was tasty, well executed, had clams, mussels, fish, shrimps, some chorizo and chicken skin… very good… I just had one issue with this dish, they brought it on a nice paella pot, and a good portion in the bottom part was burned, we ask the waitress and she said that is the way that all the flavors concentrate and create this crispy part, mmmmm I can see the point, but the true is I had eat this dish many times in a pot similar to this and I never had that problem, and I can see how some people may like it that way, but one of my shrimp had a burning flavor to it as it was in that side of the burning pot… did not taste that good…, the fish the mussels and everything on the paella was very good.
We finish with a lemoncello pie, huge piece!, (definitely bigger than my ceviche portion), and very tasty, I was expecting a more beautiful and decorative plate, but it’s flavor and the rich cream made up for the luck of visual impact, maybe a pastry chef there to dress up the pie may be in order…
When we were ready to pay and leave, another waitress come to our side of the bar counter and had 3 mini fish tacos and offered to us for free I took them immediately as the space that I left for the ceviche in my tummy still had some space to spare… the tacos were delicious, with avocado and a creamy sauce on top… at the end the fish tacos were spotless, crunchy and did not cost me a dime… thanks!
In summary, good quality of the seafood offered, portions were in the slim side, service was excellent, kudos for those two girls, would I come again?, yeah, I would give them another try, mainly because the quality of the products they use, a little in the expensive side. The ambience was very simple, open space and the drinks they were preparing look very good, we did not had any alcoholic beverages.

My son, Dr. Lenny Henderson and I, have a tradition going on for 32 years of celebrating my birthday going out to dinner at great restaurants in our City. Our experiences have always been positive and pleasant.
This past May 28^th, Lenny took me to «The Drake» and this has been the most amazing experience so far…
We started out with oysters and cocktails and a lobster roll. I have eaten oysters in Galveston, New Orleans, Miami, etc., but these oysters are flown in from different parts of the country and they have a most distinctive taste as we ordered a mixed dozen! Oh, they were wickedly delicious. The lobster roll is folded in a roll which is French toast-​like inside and buttery baked-​golden in the outer side… NEVER had such a delight with the chunks of tender lobster melting in my mouth
with hint of savory herbs and real butter! Our beautiful waitress had all the answer to our questions and our main course came nice and hot and it transported me to Spain for the Paella was lovely to the eye and fabulous to the taste. Our server «Gingo» was polite but fun to talk to and the recommended pairing wines throughout, were very complimentary! Then a surprise!
A lemon merengue dessert with a candle!
I complimented the manager about the acoustics having been able to hold a nice, lively conversation in a rather quiet environment so unlike big restaurants. He was pleased as he demonstrated to us the pillars with a surround system to control the noise!!! Unbelievable… Loved this evening with my dearest son at this great restaurant! BUENISIMO!

I came back for another visit. And I wasn’t too happy this time around, almost disappointed… Which upsets me so much because I had such love for this place!
Our server was great, I don’t remember her name but she was well informed and knew about the menu. Pretty sweet and pretty on top of things so I couldn’t be upset about that aspect of the meal.
I came back for the crab Benedict and hubs got a fried egg bahn mi which was covered in wayyyy too much sauce– how are you supposed to taste the food beyond the sauce?! He didn’t really enjoy his Bloody Mary and opted to switch it out for an Arnold Palmer (made with house pink lemonade).
They typically impress us with their oysters but I wasn’t very happy with them today. I generally don’t mind paying the $$$ for good food, but today it just wasn’t worth it.

When I walked into The Drake, I felt like I had walked into an oceanside restaurant with the cool blue walls and booths, gold accents, and white patio-​esque chairs. Be still, my ocean-​loving heart. The Drake, while fancier than some of my favorite seafood places back in NC, definitely invoked my beach homesickness.
Arriving early before a reservation merited a stop at the bar where I enjoyed an Old Fashioned while watching the oyster bar in action. Our service was attentive and seamlessly transitioned from bar to table. Definitely make a reservation for a big group: with 13 people in our party, the advance notice was much-​needed.
The service was great – we had a mix of Drake newbies and seasoned folks, but the server was great at explaining how the family-​style worked and made great recommendations on how many dishes to order. With 13 people in the mix, there was PLENTY of food once we ordered. Some of my favorites included the lobster roll, the grilled asparagus salad, and the paella. And since we were there celebrating the birthdays of yours truly and Anna F., The Drake helped us celebrate with the chocolate hush puppies and the orange creamsicle. Both were great desserts, but whoever thought of chocolate hush puppies is a genius, I tell you.
Price-​wise, The Drake is definitely a special occasion venue. I’m glad I waited until it really got into its groove, and it was worth the wait. Finding good seafood is pretty hard in the land of landlubbers, but between the good food and evocative décor, it was as if you could hear the waves crashing nearby.

Happy 100 to me! So I saved this, my 100^th review, for a special review, just like I saved trying the Drake for a special occasion. And just like this review, I wish I had tried the Drake sooner.
Man, so many good things to say, Im not really sure where to start. Ok, thats a lie, I do know where to start. As good as the atmosphere is and as wonderful as the food was, the service really did make the experience for me. I can honestly say that I dont even need one hand to count the amount of times that the service was as good or better than the food (when they were both exceptional). So Mr. Drake, or Mr. Good Egg, or whoever, give that Jingo guy a raise already… super personable, patient with our slow rolling him (one dish at a time instead of whole order at once), knew the menu inside and out, always around when we needed him… just.outstanding.
Speaking of outstanding… the layout is awesome… A nice blend of classic elegance and modern. The Drake and Broadway 10 have really elevated the restaurant atmosphere game in OKC!!!
Ok, back on track, the food… Being a special occasion, all the plates were shared, so I had an opportunity to step outside my normal tastes a little and try new things. Even though some dishes wouldnt have been my first choice, they were all fantastic.
We started with the oysters, I mean, how can you not when they are flown in, was it everyday? The oysters were very fresh and absolutely delicious. It was strange to me though, they were probably the smallest oysters (sans the Gulf oysters) that Ive ever had. Along with that, they were some of the mildest flavored oysters Ive ever tasted. Still very good, just small and mild… but you know what, still the best oysters Ive had in Oklahoma. The reason I bring it up, be careful with the mignonettes or cocktail or whatever you but on, they will very easily over-​power the delicious oysters (sand the Gulf oysters… sense a theme about how I feel about Gulf oysters yet?)
The next round was the Calamari appetizer. The grilled calamari was perfectly cooked, a nice chew without being rubbery. The capers and tomatoes were perfect with the calamari, but the grilled lemon really set it off. It was just a greatly executed appetizer and I wouldnt hesitate to order it again.
So right about this point, we had been deep in conversation and were a couple glasses of wine in, so it was time to go for it. We ordered the Sprouts, Scallops and the Whole Salt Crusted Branzino. The grilled Brussels and peppers was a brilliant and delicious dish. My only comment is I wish the sprouts had been cooked a few more minutes as they were a little on the firm side. The Scallops were good, but Im not a huge scallop person, so meh, but I will say they were cooked perfectly. The Branzino though, oh that Branzino. Absolutely a great fish and the lemon tarragon inside were amazing. My biggest complaint of the meal was that the Brazino wasnt 5 pounds and made just for me. I literally could have ordered 3 of those for myself, it was that good.
Of course we had to finish off with something sweet, so our new friend Jingo recommended the Lemon Cloud Pie. It was nice, and light, and lemon-​ey, and cool… it was a nice way to finish the meal. It didnt blow my socks off, but it was a nice finish.
So to sum up… Beautiful setting, fresh and tasty oysters, delicious food and amazing service… what are you waiting for?

Good Egg is at it again, and I don’t think they have ever had such a fully conceived space as this one. The interior is gorgeous: clean bright white canvas, punctuated with gold lines (the kind of small touch I geek out on: the paperclips they use for your check come in that precise same gold), oyster plates lining the walls out back.
The place is not nearly as expensive as it looks. They have a vaunted «serve when ready» system for food, meaning no strict order for your courses, food comes out when its cooked. This doesn’t affect the dining experience all that much (ie it isn’t bad, but it also doesn’t change it for the better like they suggest; I’m thinking it’s doing wonders primarily for kitchen management). For the oyster lovers, an a la carte menu allows you to tour the world’s beds on the relative cheap (roughly $ 3 a shell). You get to choose two of six sauces, and I highly recommend the cucumber one. As for the other menu items… Branzino was great (though smaller than might make the $ 38 completely regret-​free). Banh Mi was ok. Paella came out a tad salty, but I want to try it again before assuming my experience typical. The Catfish Crisps make for the perfect last-​minute addendum should you find yourself nearing the end of your meal and still a shade hungry.
The Crudo is so good it deserves its own paragraph. Because uncooked, it usually comes out first making it the perfect shared appetizer. The presentation is beautiful. And it tastes amazing: squares of tender raw fish + strips of marinated cucumber + a vaguely Asian drizzle + the crisp of the rice puffs + the soft heat of the chili medallions = heaven. This plate is wish fulfillment for all the food porn masochists who binge watch Food Network, hoping one day.
Important P. S. The place joins the likes of Whiskey Cake, Flint and Pizzeria Gusto for being a great restaurant that just happens to have a bar as good as any in the city. I appreciate the hints they add to each of their signature drinks («beachy», «spirit-​forward», etc.). Other places with experimental cocktail menus take note.

A great chance of pace. The décor is modern 50’s high ceiling, large booths. It was clean, open and inviting.
The crispy catfish was that. Extremely thin and crunchy. A huge plate. Black mac was cooked perfectly and a full flavor of grana padano. The lobster roll was lush, warm with a nice touch of tarragon and served in a soft roll.
The paella was a treat. Get it.

MY FAVORITE PLACE. I wish this was in Tulsa. First, make reservations. If you don’t there is typically bar seating. My husband and I went here before a concert and sat at the bar – the service and food was exceptional. Here is the low down on what we got and I would recommend everything that we ate:
–Black Mac and Cheese
–Lona Faye’s Four ‘H’ Club
–Grilled Brussels Sprouts
–Lobster Roll
–Grilled Salmon
–Lemon Cloud Pie
My favorite favorite things were the lobsta roll, black mac and cheese, and lemon cloud pie.
I cannot lie – my mouth is currently watering while writing this review. You must go here, I will be back, hopefully soon! You will pay a pretty penny to eat here, but every bite is worth it.

OMG… I was soooo wrong. I will start by saying that when I first saw they were opening a seafood place in OKC I thought they were nuts. There were only two options in my head: not fresh or extremely expensive.
Well, was I wrong…
This place blew my mind (in a very good way). We went for the first time ever for a Sunday brunch about two weeks ago (it is my understanding they just recently started offering brunch). The food was not only fresh but it was delicious. We shared the paella (4 people) and it was very good (not the best I have had but I have several Spanish friends that make delicious Paellas… So I am a little picky with that)
The eggs Bennedict with crab were to die for… I could eat that every day of my life… Seriously
The salmon toasts were very nicely presented. The drinks were fabulous… Servers (plural) were excellent.
The desserts are big enough for sharing. We had 2 and were more than enough for the five of us.
I take my hat off to the group that put this place together. While the noise level could be reduced with some investment and minor «remodeling» (space is wide open and ceilings are too high… So the acoustics are not awesome), the restaurant makes you fee like you are in some other city (and I love OKC, so please do not get me wrong on this). This restaurant could be in San Francisco, Miami, New York… We are just lucky to have it in OKC
Oh, and I almost forgot, dollar price is not a whole lot higher than other places that do not serve food as good.
Lastly, I would definitely recommend making reservations before heading there (groups of 6 or less can be done online on Unilocal or opentable, more than that… You have to call in).
Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
Disclaimer: I did not get anything in exchange for this review nor do I have any personal interest in this restaurant… I simply love real good food!

Live around the corner and finally decided to walk over and try it.
SHOULD NOT HAVE WAITED SO LONG!
Started with a bottle of wine and 2 selections off of the oyster menu. Only 2 bucks a piece while sitting at the bar, what a steal?! The staff is super knowledgeable and steered us masterfully through the wine and food selections.
Next up was the scallops. WOW! I have eaten a metric shit-​ton of scallops in my life, it is one of my favorite foods. I can’t remember any better. Perfectly cooked, and paired with a beautiful sauce & fantastic little salad that gives you some crunch, and when taken with the scallop gives a perfect bite of food.
Finished with the Wagyu Steak & brussels sprouts. It just kept getting better. Sprouts were seared on skewers w/​shishito peppers. AWESOME! Steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with subtle flavor.
Everything is served family style, and comes out as ready. Makes for a different, and fun dining experience. Décor is rad & trendy, but inviting. People tend to dress up a bit, but the staff will treat you like a VIP regardless. Eat at this restaurant! I cannot wait to return and try the rest of the menu.

Went on Friday March 18^th. Made reservations via open table, friendly greeting and was seated immediately. Three of us on our first visit.
Atmosphere was open, modern, with large windows.
Waitress came immediately, very friendly and explained their menu and family style sides. Remained attentive through dinner, other workers came by delivered food and took plates.
We love oysters and tried all versions offered. Ranging from $ 2 for gulf oysters to $ 3.50 for the most expensive, al carte cost can add up quickly. You can get great gulf oysters for $ 15.99 to $ 19.99 a dozen across the city. I’d suggest some pricing by the dozen. If you love to pick and chose a few at a time this is a great place to try. The selection was also excellent. You don’t see that across OKC.
Had Brussels Caesar, popcorn grits, grilled asparagus and black mac. The Brussels Caesar was awesome along with the black mac. Grits were a little bland, not our favorite. Black mac not really family style size portion.
Entrees whole salted crusted branzino, seared hiramasa and fried oyster banh mi. All very good, the salt crusted fish beautiful dish.
My only complaint for our experience is pricing versus portion. This will not be a cheap night out even if you eat less than us 3. Food was great and I love the choices. Grilled asparagus and popcorn grits $ 7, a little pricey. I understand specialty oysters will cost more, but $ 24 a dozen for gulf oysters is up there for OKC.

I didn’t rush to enjoy The Drake. I waited, but I wasn’t quite sure what for. I’m glad I waited, because my dinner there Friday night surpassed all expectation.
Let’s start with the service. Although I thought it odd that I was seated and introduced to our server before my companion arrived, it was a harbinger of things to come: Jingo was there to guide us along for the night, soup to nuts. He was genial, patient, and explained things clearly.
We asked about his favorites throughout the evening, and everything he recommended was delicious.
The space/​accoutrements: a cool robin’s egg blue and white interior enhance the super fresh quality of the seafood. I had had the impression from driving by that it was very elegant. While chic, the interior isn’t stuffy or snobby. The cool blue booths are quite private and look kooshy. They seat at least 8 people, as illustrated by the gaggle of leggy ladies who squealed their way to a booth, wine in hand.
The drink: my goodness, what a list! Bubbles and whites and reds, glasses and bottles, all priced reasonably. We started with a crisp bubbly rose by the glass and segued to a light, fruity bottle of red that paired well with everything we tasted.
We tasted: seriously. Oysters of every shape and size, with two mignonettes and traditional horseradish, lemon, and cocktail sauce. Most of the oysters were mild enough that the extras were unnecessary, and in some cases, distracting. The mignonettes were delicious, but the oysters were, too, and that’s what we ordered, anyway. Pro tip? Maybe. What I wish I had done: saved the oyster order card.
And then some: perfectly chargrilled calamari (go for it), giant, juicy scallops, grilled Brussels sprout and shishito pepper skewers («stupid good»), and the piece de resistance, salt crusted branzino. My god, it was more than a feast; it was a journey through the talents at The Drake and the best ways to prepare and share the freshest fish… And all this, magically executed in the flat, landlocked state that is Oklahoma. Amazing! We couldn’t just up and leave at that point, could we? So Jingo suggested the Lemon Cloud Pie and we swooned some more.
A touch of class: eat your fish with auctioned silver plated utensils– pretty sure that elevates the experience as well. Save The Drake for a special occasion, as we did, or go more often and taste one or two fantastic things at a time. I hear the hush puppies, which are apparently wrapped in ham and dipped in butter, are criminal. Saving that for next time!

Solid little spot.
I was very skeptical regarding fresh oysters in OKC based on the specifics below.
We travel in our RV full time for the past 20 months cross country and we have eaten a ton of these amazing creatures. Pacific, Atlantic, and gulf.
We have eaten every oyster from York Main-​New Orleans and Vancouver-​Los Angeles. I have had bad oysters for $ 3 and fantastic oysters for 0.50 $. 1000s of oysters.
With that said the drake did a great job of coming in ⁷⁄₁₀ for quality vs price of great oysters and selection.
The chef John killed it with educating and talking and Jessica was a damn good bartender.
Solid 4 stars all the way!

This place is family style and I assumed, being the Asian I am, that it would be like the Chinese family style. It’s not so be aware before coming here.
Our waitress was soft spoken and it was kinda hard to hear her above the volume in the restaurant but she said that most dishes cover about two people. We were a family of 7 and we ordered the grilled scallop, grilled calamari, sea bass, seafood paella, broccolini, and the asparagus and we were not very full so keep that in mind.
The broccolini was amazing with the oil and the toasted almond but I thought they looked like pine nuts to me. The asparagus was a little bit too soggy in my opinion. The sea bass had a great crust and the sauce below was great to me but my mother didn’t agree saying it had a herby scent and flavor. The grilled scallop and the calamari were softly grilled and was the mixture of raw and cooked which to some can deemed kinda slimy. Over all I think I’ll come back here but I may have to eat somewhere else before I head over here. Our tab came up to be like 150 $

I had lunch at the Drake with some guys from work on a Friday. We arrived around 12:25 or so and the place was humming, but we sat right down. We were immediately approached by a server with water glasses and menus. She was very friendly, and the level of service throughout the entire lunch was fantastic. She checked in at regular intervals, brought us water refills without us asking, and removed empty plates quickly. Very good service.
As we perused the menu, we decided to go with some oysters to start. They have around a half dozen or so types, and they run around $ 3.50 or $ 3.75 each. We went with 2 types, I will be honest, no idea what they were. But, they were fantastic, as were the accompanying mignonettes. The oysters were fresh, had no off putting smell, and were very cold but not too cold. I’ll be starting every future meal at the Drake with oysters.
We were instructed about the sharing aspect of Drake dishes, so we ordered as a table. For 3 guys, we went with: the asparagus salad, the fish taco appetizer, the lobster roll, and the BLT salad. We weren’t stuffed at the end of lunch, but we certainly got enough. We were told that the dishes come out when they are prepared, which is fine, until you get the asparagus salad first and then nothing else for nearly 10 minutes. The next 3 dishes arrived within 2 minutes of each other, so basically all at once. But, it was annoying to have nothing but asparagus for the beginning of our lunch.
That being said, the asparagus salad is strong. The stalks were thick and prepared very well, served with tuna prosciutto (which tastes exactly like its namesake, it’s like tuna and prosciutto got together and had a baby), a poached egg (which makes everything better), and a lemon aioli on the bottom. I loved this salad and would absolutely order it again. I believe it came with 7 stalks, so we each got 2 and one lucky guy got an extra.
My favorite dish overall was the lobster roll. A classic, buttery roll with a little bit of crunch from the toasting was crammed full of perfectly cooked lobster with a lot of claw meat. It was dressed (but not drenched) with tarragon mayo and served with drawn butter. I LOVED this roll, one of the best I’ve ever had. My complaint is that if all of the dishes are meant to be shared, this should have been cut prior to service. We basically had to rip it apart, as the knives didn’t offer much assistance against the soft white bread (other than smashing it). If this had been cut into 3 equal slices in the back (where they have, you know, sharp bread knives) it would have been a lot less messy. That being said, I think the next time I order it I’ll solve this problem by eating the whole thing myself.
The fish tacos are small and come 3 to an order. The fish is fried well, the veggie slaw with avocado is good, as is the accompanying chili sauce. But, nothing is GREAT about it. It’s just good. It’s the dish that I was the least impressed with, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it.
The menu claims the BLT salad is served with «steak bacon.» What is that? Some thick-​ass bacon, that’s what. It was candied, so there was a little sweetness on top in the form of brown sugar (I believe). It was as thick as several slices of bacon and it was a little difficult to cut (those table knives again). But, it was really good and unique. The salad overall was a winner, but this was clearly the star of the dish. I’ll be eating more of this in the future…
Great lunch, but some glitches that prevent me from giving 5 stars. Previously, Good Egg Dining Group has done no wrong in my book, and The Drake did nothing to change that. Great addition to an already fantastic restaurant lineup on 23^rd Street.

Dear Drake,
I love you.
The reviews may be mixed, and I admit I’m hard not to please, but I absolutely loved my experience at the Drake.
We went for a friend’s birthday, and all being first timers we had big eyes at the menu and big appetites to handle it. I started with the Huckleberry Cobbler drink. I loved it, kind of wintery, so perfect for the upcoming season. We then got straight into food ordering. Our server (can’t remember her name now, but loved her) did a great job at explaining the food is to be shared, but think more tapas than family style. The food also comes out on a made to serve basis. The moment a dish is made it is brought out to the table, they don’t wait for everything to be finished.
We started with an order of the hush puppies, 4-​H club. A recipe passed down to the executive chef from his grandmother, makes a name for itself on the drake menu. The 4 H’s being hot sauce, honey butter, ham and hush puppies. The combo is incredible.
We also ordered the brussels sprouts (tiny but good), fresh oysters with the jalapeño and the cucumber sauce (cucumber sauce FTW), the black mac, and the paella for 2. We had 4 but with everything else we ordered it was the perfect amount.
The décor and interior is insane. Perfect for foodstagram junkies like myself.
My only draw back is I wish there were more items that were suited for one. Tapas style eating can be great, but can also get pricey quick. I’d rather order my own dish then sample bites from others at my table.
Keep it up Drake, hope you continue to be a success! I’ll be back.

We tried this place on a whim for my brithday. Looks pretty flashy and the amibabce was awesome. The food however… Not so much. If you are an oyster person… you should go prepared to spend at least $ 3 per oyster. Friends I went with were livid that it cost so much, and when the waiter explained why it was so much because they have to «fly» in the fish, We told him their are other places in OKC that offer oysters are a much lower price.
Everything is served «Family Style» or huge portions and it was too much. I rather have my own plate. The black mac & cheese seems like a unique dish but it was dry and not very good.
Overall, I am not sure I will go back. The vodka was good. but then again how do you mess up vodka?
