I came here last week and had a bad experience, but Haley (one of the managers) reached out to me and brought me back in. I was so happy that she did. The experience I had must have been a one-off because it felt like night and day. I brought my husband with me and we arrived a little early for our reservation, but they were happy to accomodate us. We are big sports fans and the seating arrangement is great so that everyone can see the TVs with multiple games on no matter where you sit.
I recommend the pretzels and cheese as your appetizer, just don't fill up on those before you get a chance to have something from the antipasti menu. Our main course consisted of the fried chicken and the steak. Both were amazing! I'm usually the type to just order appetizers and not entrees, but I wouldn't recommend that here, because the entrees are so well crafted.
Joel was our server and he was great! He made the best recommendations and he knew what he was talking about. When you asked him for a suggestion he wouldn't just make a suggestion, he would give you details about why he thought things would pair well and he gave a preview of what to expect.
A lot of managers and business owners have gotten tired if the phrase "the customer is always right" and I have gotten several defensive and rude comments back when I give anything less than a 4 star rating on yelp. However, Culinary Dropout appears to truly value their customer's experience and is invested in ensuring that not just their food, but their brand is top quality.
