| - I graduated from ASU this week, and when deciding where to take my mom for a celebratory lunch I could think of no place better than Culinary Dropout. Since this restaurant opened, it has quickly become one of my favorite places to dine, drink, relax and entertain.
I wanted to bring my mom (who is visiting from New England) somewhere special, somewhere that wouldn't disappoint and that not only satisfy our stomach's but also our elevated moods. We were escorted promptly to a lovely corner table inside the dining room by one of the beautiful hosts that are always welcoming you in as you enter from the parking lot. We were immediately greeted by our brightly smiling server Regan. She wasted no time charming both me and mother, speaking easily to both of us, as if we were old friends. After explaining our appetizer options, and offering to get us drinks, I remembered a beer I had tried once before and loved. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the name, after giving her a brief description, she guided me through the drink menu until we found what I was looking for. After taking our drink order, I watched her as she gracefully moved from table to table offering the same smile and genuine friendliness to those seated around us, I was amazed and instantly comforted knowing I had chosen to celebrate at the right place.
Throughout our meal, Regan was never absent for more than a couple of minutes, making sure to check in every chance she got, to make sure every second of our stay was absolutely perfect. I commend Culinary Dropout for its outstanding service as well as its delectable food and drink! I can't wait to bring more of my family and friends here, and I encourage you to try this place out if you haven't, it's worth the wait that can accumulate in the evening hours. Trust me.
Even our goodbye was personal and special!
