    Great place to eat. So many good options on the menu. The Brussels sprouts were so good that I even ate a couple and I don’t enjoy greens. Good place for families, groups and everything in between. Look forward to eating there again.

    Very good all around. Seating next to the window near the entrance reduced the normal high noise level. My vodka on ice had a very “off” Taste which I suspect was the addition of olive juice “dirty” …. Should have returned it!

    Great ambiance, lots of seating so you don’t feel crowded or rushed. Their American dishes were much better than their Asian dishes despite the recs from the waiter. We didn’t get the pizza but it looked amazing. Salads and the French dip were great.

    Loved this place. The vegan option was divine and I ate every bite! My husband loved his ribs. Our cocktails were tasty and paired well with the food. Our server was exceptional!

    We love coming to Culinary Dropouts. We are greeted by the fabulous Autumn and escorted to one of our favorite tables when we walk in the door. Angel, our server, made sure to have everything we ordered come out just right and check on our happiness frequently; the managers were always roaming around, delivering food, helping servers, and ensuring all guests were happy. Ryan did that for us that night. Everyone and everything is terrific, so we go two to three times per week. Thank you, Culinary Dropouts, for making this one of our favorite spots.

    We have a great experience. We felt like the service was super slow. Looks like it was maybe under staffed. But overall a great experience

    Last night the restaurant was hopping and so were all the staff. We were greeted by enthusiastic hostesses and escorted to our favorite spot. We were honored to be waited on by the excellent Hannah. She is elegant, efficient, thoughtful, and lots of fun. She made sure our dinner was spectacular. While eating, many staff members came to make sure everything was perfect. We love our experience at Culinary Dropouts.

    Fantastic cocktails, perfectly made, not overly sweet and pack a punch while still being incredibly delicious. We also had a standout server, she was incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide us to cocktails and dishes that were delicious
