Culinary Dropout

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! From start to finish, everything was five stars across the board. The starters were amazing! Packed with flavor, fresh, and perfect for sharing. The entrées were outstanding as well, beautifully prepared and seasoned to perfection. Every plate that came out was a winner, and it’s rare to have everyone at the table rave about their meal, but that’s exactly what happened. To top it off, we indulged in the monkey bread with ice cream for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending. Warm, gooey, and delicious. It’s a must-try! What really stood out was that even our 7- and 8-year-olds were raving about the food, which says a lot! It’s not easy to please both kids and adults at the same time, but Culinary Dropout nailed it. Great service, fantastic atmosphere, and incredible food. We’ll definitely be back. Planning my next staff team bonding for October here! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun dining experience with top-notch eats!

The best location in the valley! The free valet is a great added touch and super quick. The vibes are fun and social. The food is amazing. Brussels sprouts were yummy and not too hot. The fish and chips were moist and crispy and the Mongolian short ribs essentially melted in your mouth, amazing. Finishing it all off with their famous monkey bread. I’ll have to come back for happy hour, the bar looks like fun!! Our server and all staff were very attentive and friendly

My husband and I went here on our first date several years ago, so he decided to surprise me with it for our wedding anniversary. He told them the story and requested beforehand that they "do something special at the table." Boy, did they DELIVER! We were greeted by an adorably decorated table, handwritten card, and incredible service. The server, Ariyah, was so attentive and friendly. The manager, Brett, greeted us and offered us champagne to celebrate the occasion. Between the atmosphere, food, and service, we were blown away by our experience. It was such a great evening reminiscing our first date while enjoying an awesome meal. We want to thank the staff for making us feel so special!

I recently visited Culinary Dropout after a friend made a reservation and invited us along. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot due to the parking situation. When we arrived, all parking entrances were blocked by cones, and the only option available was valet parking. This led to us circling the block in search of a parking lot, which was quite frustrating.Eventually, we opted for the valet entrance and found a spot, but as we walked towards the restaurant, a valet employee came out to scold us for not using their service, insisting that the cones were a signal to do so. Personally, I prefer self-parking due to previous issues with valet services, so being reprimanded was incredibly frustrating right from the start.On a positive note, the restaurant itself is quite lovely. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with an open kitchen where you can see the chefs in action. The menu, while not extensive, is straightforward and easy to navigate, although I found the pricing a bit steep for the portion sizes.Service was notably good; our waitress was attentive and ensured our needs were met. However, the parking debacle and the pricing will likely deter me from returning in the future.Overall, while Culinary Dropout has its charm and positive aspects, the parking chaos and high costs definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

Amazing spot with fresh, flavorful food! The sandwiches were stacked and satisfying, and the salad was super crisp and tasty. Plus, it’s dog friendly, which made the experience even better. Great service. Patio is shaded with misters.

I ordered the Smoke House Hash at Culinary Dropout and would rate the experience about a 6/10 overall. The taste was good — the pork was flavorful and tender, and the rustic potatoes were cooked just right. I didn’t dislike it, but nothing really wowed me either; I’d probably try something else on the menu next time. Presentation was around a 5/10 — nothing fancy, just the ingredients layered together with a tortilla hanging on the side. The restaurant itself has a modern, edgy, industrial vibe, which I liked. The staff gets an 8/10 — everyone was friendly, and my waitress was great to chat with. I paid $17 for the dish, which felt reasonable for the portion and quality.

We decided to once again try a new place. Once again we were surprised to see the inside of this place. We went on a Sunday, and were seated right away. Servers were busy as their stations were very large. Our meals came out in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, my wife's meal was not correct. We mentioned this to the server, who immediately went to the kitchen to fix the error. The staff was very friendly, (PS, i ordered the soup of the day, and unfortunately I got what they called "yesterdays soup. They said they ran out of what I ordered. I recommend servers should have told me before bringing me the watery, with most likely used yesterdays veggies as well. Having visited our table many times! ‍ ️my family took their timein eating. I eat fast, and then wander. Shuffleboard, ping pong, corn hole, and I'm sure I missed other activities. An interesting and fun place.
