“Weekends have been great. It’s definitely a destination weekend restaurant,” he said. “We’re working on building business during the week, and we just opened for lunch starting in April.”
A Fairfax City resident for 15 years, McDade described Draper’s as a friendly neighborhood restaurant, with a great happy hour and brunch on the weekends.
“I basically want people to stay in the City of Fairfax as opposed to going elsewhere,” he said. “Whether whether it’s 15 minutes away or 30 minutes away, we’re trying to build something right here that people can enjoy.”
