| - A few nights ago, I came here with my boyfriend and three other people. One of the people in our party was a friend visiting from California for the week. So we had our own little version of a lazy "Friendsgiving" at the Culinary Dropout.
We had to wait just a bit before our table was ready. It was our first time there so when you get the menu, the top portion is starters with several different cheese and meat options. We each ordered a drink, which varies from beers to cocktails. (My personal favorite is the Moscow mule. I ordered the pomegranate one, but I wasn't a fan of it. Thankfully I liked another drink someone else from our table ordered and she winded up liking my drink so we just switched. No harm, no foul!)
It was fairly dark and pretty busy so when our platter of cheeses and meats came in, it was hard to see without shining our phone lights on it to determine what meat was what. The waiter also rushed through what order the meats were in and none of us remembered what meat was what. We figured it out as we ate. Everything was absolutely delicious and mouth watering. All the cheeses and meats were completely gone by the end of the night.
We also ordered some entrees, like the fried chicken, fish + chips, and the salmon toast. The two guys who ordered the fried chicken said it was mediocre. I personally didn't try the fried chicken, but the fish and chips were good!
Between everything, we split the check evenly which came out to around $40-ish per person. (There were 5 of us in total.) This place is definitely way more expensive for a dinner outing, but it's great for big groups. There's a Bob Marley wall, with a mural of his face along with his famous song titles surrounding his face. I was also told that they apparently have music nights on Fridays and Saturdays.
Overall, decent food and good customer service! The waiter was very sweet and attentive. I forgot to mention our group ordered the Brussels sprouts plus the mac and cheese, which unfortunately were all sold out but our waiter was very kind about informing us and letting us chose a substitute for the unavailable starters.
