Culinary Dropout serves classic meals done right.

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.

    We went for Easter brunch and had a great experience. We sat outside, which was perfect for the weather. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was really good. A little on the pricey side, but honestly, what isn’t these days? Worth it for a nice holiday meal.

    Really disappointing dinner. We had family visiting and staying at a nearby hotel. This restaurant seemed like a perfect spot to meet on a Saturday night, but I was wrong. It was the tail end of spring break week, so the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. Five people at the bar, and a few other tables. Nowhere near full, and plenty of staff. They had 3 hostesses just standing around, and 2 bartenders. It took 15 minutes for anyone to come and take our drink orders, and another 15 minutes before the drinks arrived. We only had entrees, and they took over 45 mins to arrive (from the point that we actually got to order). During all the time that we were waiting, our waiter never checked on us. He never once refilled our water glasses or checked to see if we needed/wanted anything else. The food was okay; definitely not tasty enough to make up for the complete lack of service.

    The server was horrible. It took forever for her to greet our table and then get water and beers. Food also took about 30 minutes for a flatbread, but it tasted fantastic.
