    Our first time at Culinary Dropout. Love the design – bar area, wintertime enclosed patio, large kitchen viewable through full length windows, and live music, not blaring. The servers were excellent, but the pace of service is quite leisurely, so this is probably not the place to come if you are on a tight timetable. The menu is quite varied and the food is excellent.

    I’ve eaten here quite a few times and have never had a bad meal. The rib eye cap dinner is outstanding, but I departed and ordered the ribs last night. They were fall off the bone good!! Portion sizes are perfect and service is always attentive. This is one of my “go to” restaurants when I head to the Stapleton area. One area of caution. They changed their well bourbon for their Old Fashioned. It’s a terrible choice, so be sure to specify your own bourbon.

    Great food...Fried Chicken is great as is the Bolognese. Service was friendly but not great. It seems that management doesn't do a great job training the servers on efficient and good service.

    Another fabulous night at Culinary Dropout. We had our favorite booth, one of our favorite waitresses (Nester), and chatted with an upstanding manager (Mikah) and person. Our appetizer was delayed because of several parties, but our waitress ensured it was taken care of, and our favorite salads were delicious, just the way we love them. We had a great evening.

    Been here a bunch. Love the Peaches and Rye cocktail. The food is good and I really appreciate how they allow you to customize ingredients in a dish for dietary preferences. I’ve been when they’ve had live music on a decent number of occasions and always think it’s too loud and have never been particularly intrigued by the music. They had a solo performer, a guy named Joel playing some awesome classic tunes with a great voice as really pleasant volume level. Please have him back more often! I would come on a night he was playing for sure. Really made the atmosphere more enjoyable with pleasant music at a nice volume level.
    Culinary Dropout - DenverResponded on December 5, 2024
    Hello Amy, Thanks so much for the fantastic review!! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed Joel's music so much, and our staff was able to accommodate any dietary restrictions your party had. Thanks again for the feedback and we look forward to your next visit with us at CDO Denver! Micah Scott AGM CDO
