We enjoyed a tapas lunch at The Drake. The space is very stylish, there’s a nice variety of small plates and mains, and there are quite a few interesting wines by the glass.

Crab and Spinach Fondutta was essentially a spinach dip with a layer of nicely broiled cheese on top. It was listed as coming with house-made sourdough, but that turned out to be toasted rounds more like crouton consistency. I think I would have enjoyed untoasted sourdough more.

The meatballs came with the same toast. They were good, and the very savory sauce was probably the highlight of everything we had.

The Florida Coast Ceviche was a Peruvian-style ceviche consisting mainly of shrimp and snapper, quite citrusy.

Over all I would say there were no homeruns, but it was a pleasant and quick lunch.

Service was friendly and fast.
