If this review were just about food, Culinary Dropout would get a respectable rating.
Parking is a hassle. It's nice to park and walk into a restaurant without the annoying valet parking. The killer: NOISE. The afternoon dining experience was awful. Live music and everyone in the restaurant shouting in order to converse. People in a restaurant want to speak to each other, but at this restaurant, don't bother. The management explained that they like this idea--drown out conversation. We celebrated a friend's birthday there. They have a nice menu with a wide selection of soups, salads, sandwiches, and main entrees. Very interesting variety. Lots of good craft beer choices. If this place was quiet enough for us to carry out conversation, we might try it. But the noise is too much. We checked with some friends---same observation. If you like the "buzz" of a loud restaurant and valet parking, this place is for you. Sure not for us.
