Duck & Drake Kitchen in Orlando - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I was really excited to try “Duck and Drake” after I saw some reviews online about it. I live on the corner of “The Drake” which is their second store which I have been thinking about to trying soon. I love an origin story so I canceled my original plans and decided to go try “Duck and Drake”. When I pulled up to the property, I saw a small food truck in the corner and at first I was like this is it? I contemplated leaving because I found it hard to believe that the quality of food I heard about came out of such a small truck. But I had already committed. I looked over the menu, They had some nice options and before I ordered, I wanted to look over where I would be sitting. The inside is very nice open in spacious comfortable seating mix variety of bar lounge, high top and patio. An array of wine bottles is throughout the inside with an additional private dining area, again arrayed with bottles of wine. I chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. I asked the kitchen for recommendations and got three of their items and one of my choosing. I got Wagyu sliders, crispy shrimp bao, truffle fries, and their pizza. I am saddened to say that nothing impressed me. I wouldn’t rate anything over a 7. I also wasn’t told that the wagyu sliders and shrimp Bao came with fires. If I had know I would have asked for a different side or skipped the truffle fries. My table looked like a mountain of potatoes. When I went back to the truck to see if they can give me another side, I stated they didn’t let me know that everything came with fries. they suggested I just get another side and pay for it. Which I wasn’t doing because everything I had was mid at best to me at this point. Everything was a decent portion size I just wasnt undone by the flavor. The wagyu sliders, taste like regular prime beef. Dijon mustard heavy. The Truffle fries were good. I just expected better based off what I’ve heard. The crispy shrimp Bao was probably my favorite I give that one a 7 if I ever join some friends there, I would order that. The pizza was crispy cheesy and spicy all the things that I like but the flavor profile just didn’t work for me for some reason. I can see how some people would like this place. I just happen to enjoy really good food, and this just doesn’t hit anywhere on my list. Idk if I will try The Drake based off this experience I get 20% off from living in the neighborhood and I just don’t know. personally wouldnt recommend to a friend who knows the type of food that I eat. My wife and I got boxes, packed it up and went somewhere else to eat. We gave our leftovers to a person in need on the way. Ambience 5/5 service 3/5 Food 3/5

Absolutely phenomenal. This is the elevation that Orlando needs. I’m an appetizer, salad, meal, drinks person to get a full understanding of a restaurant and The Drake delivered. Service was above and beyond from Sydney and the food was everything I could ask for. The trio was a perfect way to start, the Fire Roast Chicken and NY steak brought FINALLY TASTE to a menu. I’ve been so waiting for something to TASTE good and The Drake delivers the whole gambit. Thank you.
