    The building and atmosphere is fantastic. Unfortunately we must have been there on an off night. Steaks were well done (no pink) when we actually ordered med rare and medium steaks. The error was said to be a food runner grabbing the wrong steaks but I doubt that in a steak house that all five cuts were ordered well done at any table..LOL They did do us right by remaking the steak, but it kind of ruins the temperature of the sides and then some people eating others not… kind of derails the dinner vibe. We had a Great waitress Fatima. Hopefully this is one off because otherwise Draper Brother’s has everything else working for it.

    Highly recommend Drapers for any occasion, the decor is modern and sophisticated, yet has feels of a very traditional steakhouse. Lamb Lollipops: 10/10, incredible value for the amount and quality of meat Meatball: great for large groups you get FIVE huge meatballs I think it’s the best value item on the menu Short Rib Mushroom Ravioli: Absolutely impecable, the pasta is homemade and it tastes like it! Draper Cut: luxurious filet with amazing extra flavor from the bone, perfrct portion size as well My favorite sides were the asparagus and Yukon mash, best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had! The food always comes out hot.

    This restaurant deserves every one of its 5 stars! Jack, the owner, greeted us personally and was incredibly polite, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. The entire staff was warm and attentive. The ambiance was romantic and beautifully set, creating the perfect atmosphere. And the food? Absolutely exceptional—the scallops were perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

    Everything was excellent. Service at our table excellent. My husband ordered the New York strip charred medium rare perfect. I had Scallops with rossto. We shared the chopped salad, which they split for us. Cocktails were excellent, greeted right away at the bar Nice they have a coat check. Met Jack as we were leaving. very gracious. Some might say a little pricey, but when you dine and not just eat. there is a difference. This is dinning, and everything that goes with it

    Highly recommend Draper Brother’s Chophouse for their incredible food, service, ambiance, and cleanliness. You’ll never see a water spot or lipstick mark on their stemware. You’ll never feel rushed to order, eat, or pay the bill. Best birthday dinner in a very long time. Party of six.

    We had the best time at Drpaer Brothers. The food, service, ambience was all what you want in a fine dining experiences. We will be back. Fatima is an excellent server. She is attentive, gives good guidance on food selections and beverages. She definitely adds quality and fun to your evening . We tried a variety of dishes. From the lamb lollipops to tartare to meatballs for starters. For entrees we had scallops, filets, beef mushroom ravioli and their seafood pasta alla vodka. We also tried the wedgini salad and ciopinno soup. For sides we had lobster mac and cheese, broccolini. Dessert was another surprise with huge portions of their key lime pie and a double chocolate piece of decadence.
