Culinary Dropout

Amazing. From the service to the food you cannot go wrong. I am astounded by the variety of offerings and the way the kitchen creates each dish to perfection. We ordered a gauntlet of items from pretzels to sushi to pizza and all were excellent. The service is on par with much swankier spots and I couldn't say more about our server. There was an issue with one of our pizzas and the manager came out personally to speak with us. It was that care and personal touch that stands out. I love this restaurant and will return because I want to try absolutely everything on the delightful menu!

Culinary Dropout delivered a truly memorable dining experience for us on Christmas Eve. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and festive—exactly what you hope for on a holiday evening. The food was absolutely delicious across the board. Everything came out well-prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented, making it clear that quality and consistency matter here. It’s the kind of menu that feels elevated without being pretentious—comfort food done right. What really elevated the evening, though, was the service. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and well-paced, striking that perfect balance of being available without hovering. Despite it being Christmas Eve, nothing felt rushed, and the staff genuinely seemed invested in making sure everyone had a great experience. All around, Culinary Dropout was a fantastic choice for a special night out. Great food, excellent service, and a relaxed but polished vibe made it a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve. Highly recommended.

Really loved this place, however, the deviled eggs were a bit on the salty side and our cheese for the pretzels was not hot so it kinda tasted just bland. On the other hand, hands down our favorite thing we ordered was the chicken katsu sandwich! Super juicy and tender and the bread is so crunchy delicious.

I celebrated my birthday here last weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. I made a reservation for a party of 8 beforehand and was immediately seated on arrival. Jeff was our server and I can honestly say he was the sweetest and most knowledgeable server I have ever had. We ordered everything he recommended from tasty drinks to fun appetizers. The food itself was excellent and we ordered a variety of foods, there is something on the menu everyone in your party will enjoy. The drinks were beautifully crafted and the vibes were immaculate. They even had live music towards the end of the evening.

Casual spot for dinner with a balcony on the second floor. We went on a Friday night and there was live music, a female vocalist imwith a guitar accompanist. We ordered the prosciutto deviled eggs. They were good, but because the prosciutto was very fine it was hard to really taste. I was hoping the crispy prosciutto would've been larger. We then had the salmon with crispy brussel sprouts (skins?) on a bed of couscous I believe which was very good. We also had the Korean Ribeye Cap with onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. The waitress cautioned that it was very spicy but I thought it was fine. Very tasty and the veggies with it were great. The waitress was very nice and attentive, answering questions about the menu. Pricing seemed fair, and for the amount of food it balanced it out. Overall we enjoyed the drinks from the bar, food, service, and atmosphere, and with everything on the menu sounding good we want to come back and try more.
