   I love this place. I’ve been for dinner and most recently brunch. Everything has been perfectly delicious! Service is spot on, the vibe is relaxed and the space is beautiful. It’s on the smaller side for a steakhouse but it feels upscale, modern with an almost industrial style. I will definitely be back!

   Maurice was our server today at brunch. He was excellent…friendly and outgoing. This was our first time here. My husband loved the scrambler and the small salad that accompanied it. Excellent coffee. I had the grilled Caesar salad with shrimp; it was delicious as were the brunch potatoes. We will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu.

   Considering that it was not too busy...entrees did not come out together...cane out 5 minutes apart. @ $53.00 Ribeye was thin (<1") with sparse (3-4 sprigs) of asparagus. Waitress asked about deserts before several had finished entree.

   Great service. Good food and ample portions. Noticed that many diners carried out leftovers. Note that the menu item, cioppino, was really seafood pasta, not a seafood stew.

   Too loud for conversation. I get that makes it seems popular but I won’t patronize you when I actually want to speak with my dinner companions.

   Food was mediocre. Server never asked about a drink refill until after clearing some of dinner. Bread never offered. On and on-two apps, a salad, and two drinks for $100 before tip. No thanks.

   Our first time at Draper’s in Fairfax and it was awesome! Had a family of 8, and everything was managed really well. Our server(s) were on point and very nice, and the food is outstanding. Highly recommend Draper’s, and we will definitely be back regularly.

    This was our first visit. We loved the ambiance, the christmas decor. easy to park, a bonus in downtown fairfax. Our waiter was very nice, timely. my issue is that the steaks are very expensive. $48 for a 7oz filet. thats the minimum price for a steak. I only need a 4-5 oz filet or 8 oz ribeye. It would be nice to pay under $40 for a steak. once you add a drink, a salad, and a glass of wine with 2 steaks you are going to be in for $170 for a meal for 2. I went for a steak, got ribs. My wife liked her fish, but I didn't care much for the bbq sauce on the ribs. I did not finish a half rack. lastly, they should automatically brinjg out wetnaps with a rib order. the waiter had to run to the kitchen, get linen napkins, run them under warm water. Maybe a minor touch, but arnies and mikes have figured this out. We may try it again, but likely for lunch instead of dinner. Am hopeful because I really liked the decor and location.
