I had the pleasure of going to the Culinary Dropout to celebrate my son-in-law's birthday. Our reservation was for 6:45 on a Saturday evening. We were seated promptly. Our server and the hostess were pleasant, helpful and overall it was a great experience for the food and service. We had the signature dish of pretzels and cheese sauce and they didn't disappoint- delicious!! We didn't finish them all but they went home and were enjoyed later. My son-in-law and I ordered specialty drinks which were good but seemed a tad overpriced. My fish and chips were really tasty and the Korean beef dish was a big hit too. The reason for only 3 stars was it was incredibly difficult to have any kind of conversation in this restaurant (and they had plenty of open tables when we arrived but by the time we were leaving it was packed inside and out). They were getting ready to have a band play after we left. There would be no chance at all to speak with your company once a band started so I'm glad we came when we did!
