Makes sense.

I really like the branding I've seen from them so far.

Looking forward to this opening! When I am in OKC, this will be my stop. OKC needs a really good seafood establishment. This will be a good "local option"!

So excited to hear that Chef Willis is joining AGE. He's a great local chef and I think he will be great in a seafood concept.

Lousy through-the-window photo from yesterday, but they are making quick progress inside this space:

Keith Paul just posted this on FB... Said menu development is underway for The Drake.

Man oh man...

The Drake is menu prepping:

I am not sure jbkrems. There were no descriptions when they posted these.

What are these items?

Looks like a brussell sprout app, little neck clam pasta, salad with pork belly and branzino? Just a guess.

Holy lord that looks fantastic.

Looks amazing. I cannot wait for this.

This will immediately fill a big hole in the OKC dining scene.

With that cuisine and the Good Egg rep, I bet they have people lining up.

Pretty confident that The Drake will immediately be one of my favorite places. They wouldn't even have to try that hard, considering the huge hole in the market. The bar isn't high for seafood in OKC, but fortunately Good Egg sets their bar high on everything, anyway.

Cocktail tasting was happening this afternoon:

Won't be long now... Will open next month.

This place may end up being the biggest hit of all the Good Egg concepts, and that's saying something.

What is this? Some type of fish sandwich?

I was hoping for more a fresh seafood type place, not a fried fish sandwich with chips. (I know they'll have both, just saying)

One fried thing on the menu won't kill the fresh side... Some people aren't big on fish/seafood, so it's always nice to have secondary options for those that tag along with a seafood lover.

So we're catering to the LCD here? Leave that to The Shack (I also love that place), I want a high quality fresh seafood restaurant.

The picture makes it look like one of the better fish sandwiches I've seen. Serving simpler, less expensive food like this, in addition to other more elaborate dishes, increases the number of people to which a restaurant appeals. As long as they have other options, which I know they will, I'm fine with a fish sandwich. I might even order one that looks that good, especially at lunchtime.

One photo of a good-looking sandwich is not catering to the LCD. Don't be silly.
