    AWESOME food and environment, but way too loud if you're trying to converse with those at your table.

    Valet parking but it takes awhile and they sped my vehicle through the parking lot. We had a reservation, but still had to wait about ten minutes for our table (unsure what the wait for non-reservations was). Food was okay, but not worth the cost. Overall disappointed as a lot of people spoke highly of this restaurant.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. It sounds like there were a few areas where we missed the mark. We understand that waiting, even with a reservation, can be frustrating, and we’ll definitely work on improving the flow of seating. As for valet, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll be sure to speak with the valet manager, we want all of our guests to feel safe and comfortable using the car valet and we will be sure this will not happen again. We also appreciate your honest opinion on the food, and we’ll make sure to review the quality and value to ensure it’s up to par. We strive to live up to the positive reputation we’ve built, and we’re disappointed to hear we let you down.

    The food was unique and wonderful . The pimento cheese was spicy and salmon dip was so good. The veggie dish was extremely tasty. I will definitely eat there again

    Your parking lot is small to begin with. Why would you sell it out to a party and make it impossible for restaurant guests to park?! And if you knew there wouldn't be parking available, why wasn't that made clear on the reservation. I'll likely never spend another dime at Culinary Dropout.
    Culinary Dropout at the Yard - TempeResponded 1 day ago
    Hello Jay, thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback regarding your visit. We apologize for the lack of parking during a busier time, our lot can fill up quickly if we have a large group coming in. We provide complimentary valet available during those times to help alleviate that issue, however, we understand that not everyone wants to take advantage of that service. Again, we are very sorry your experience left you feeling disappointed, we truly hope you give us another chance to show you a great night all around.
