Wash it all down with an ice-cold craft beer or a killer house-made cocktail. And don't forget to stick around for live music with a laid-back vibe. Culinary Dropout is for anyone who loves damn good food and drinks.

    Good service. Food fine enough, but way too $ for what it’s worth. Nice atmosphere, but probably won’t be back because it was very expensive.

    Outstanding dinner. Server... Abby I believe was fabulous. Very personable and attentive but not too much. Drinks were spot on ! Got two apps ( crispy shrimp and pigs in a blanket)and the mushroom pizza. All were flavorful and well balanced tastes. Just a really good time. Fourth time visiting...has always been consistently good. Love this place.

    I have a gluten allergy and although nothing was marked on the menu, our waitress, Bianca was amazing with helping me find something and make sure it was gluten free.

    I was greeted enthusiastically by the hostess, seated quickly with my reservation, and enjoyed great service and food. The duck/shrimp/egg fried rice was fantastic. Also my cocktail was not too sweet.

    We've all been there previously and enjoyed the experience. This time the food was hit or miss across the board, with meats being overly salted and over cooked, food being lukewarm, and food requests forgotten requiring food to be resent. Our server was a delight. Unfortunately we won't be recommending or revisiting Culinary Dropout again.

    Overally disappointed with our experience. I ordered the fish and chips which were mainly soggy and not crispy at all. Our server forgot one of the meals and it came 10 minutes late which was frustrating as well, and it was hard to get their attention. The appetizers were good but overall I don't think we will be returning any time soon.

    Roy, our server, was EXCELLENT. The food was incredible and so delicious. We were there for 4 hours and were checked on at a very nice rate by even multiple people. Roy made sure to continue to check in and keep our drinks full. The atmosphere was perfect for our business meeting and the noise level was appropriate. Not too loud and not too soft. We ordered appetizers and entrees and everything was so good. I would absolutely come back again and again. I would also recommend Culinary Dropout to my business partners and family and friends. The atmosphere was fun and you could tell that everyone on staff likes working there. Shout out to Kieron who always makes the experience top tier, our server Roy, and the Hostess Natasha.

    The food was decent. The service was decent. I was with a party of 5. The person who ordered the butternut squash and kale salad and the person who ordered the salmon enjoyed their meal. I had the fried chicken. It was fine. Nothing to write home about. The others ordered the short ribs and the bolognese. No one complained but not raved about the food. Would I come back?? Maybe. Not going to be my first choice
