    We love Culinary Dropouts and last night was fabulous as always. Our favorite hostesses greeted us and took us to our table by an outstanding manager, Micah (unsure of spelling). Our service by Matt was incredible, and our salads were delicious, as we like them. Thank you Culinary staff for making every evening at Culinary Dropouts memorable. We love you all!

    Our table loved the drink options, had the pretzel appetizer which was large and good! One of our group had the salmon and said it was amazing and the risotto it was on was to die for! The burger, the ribs and the cheese pizza were all lackluster and left something to be desired. We did have to wait 10 mins past our reservation time to be seated which was also not ideal because we had a tight timeline for the evening. There was live music that was a nice touch but overall the experience was just okay.

    Hi Shelby, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. I'm so glad your party enjoyed most of what you sampled from our menu, including the Roasted Salmon and Pretzel Bites! I'm sorry to hear some other options were not to your liking. We hold our back of house team to an incredibly high standard and it sounds like we may have missed the mark on some items. Were you by chance able to speak to a manager about these issues? Please know, we are always happy to either refire a dish, or make you something else entirely you may enjoy more, we want you to leave 100% satisfied! I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks again for the feedback. Micah Scott AGM CDO
