    The staff is great and provides a high level of service. The food was very high priced for quality. For example, the $15 Shrimp enhancement was three small shrimp, prepared in what appeared to be a basic butter and garlic sauce. Most disappointing was the $32 Chicken Piccata (which was recommended by the server). It was terribly dry, over-baked chicken with little-to-no seasoning. It was so dry, I was only able to eat less than half of it.

    After two times trying to cook a steak medium rare, and it still comes out blue rare you know your kitchen has problems. Tried a lot of their menu and spent way too much, but never had any flavor in anything. Everything was super bland. Even the dessert. We really wanted to like this place (one of the best locations on the square) but unfortunately they need help.

    We had a nice birthday dinner party at Draper Brother's Chophouse. My ribeye was wonderful, and I think everyone enjoyed their drinks and dinner. The whipped ricotta was good, but like seriously it was only served with like 4 slices of bread? Also, while our server was attentive, the service and food preparation was slow. And I was asked to close our bar tab even thought we were literally sitting next to the bar. So I left a $50 bill for the bartender to close the bill for 2 drinks. I had to ask twice for the change. It was annoying. I mean is it just me, or is a 90% tip now expected for 2 drinks?

    It was a wonderful evening and the service was impeccable! My walleye was cooked to perfection. Thank you, Jack for the wonderful table with the view of the capital and for going above and beyond. Thanks, Kerry
