Culinary Dropout is a fun place with great food and service.

Excellent restaurant for classic experience. Very good and well presented cocktails. Food, including amuse bouche, appetizer, one main course (duck breast), and deserts excellent. One exception was entree of "pressed" chicken breast which was a bad concept. Flavor OK but very heavy and dry and too big a portion. Sides were good. Wine list pretty good and not too expensive by today's standards. Ambience, at night, excellent. Parking convenient. Not inexpensive, but not outrageous either. Have been before for lunch, will certainly return for dinner.

Lovely meal all around: good cocktails, creative appetizers and entrees with fresh ingredients and wonderful flavor. The appetizers are a bit on the small size, but the entrees are ample. Highly recommended!

Restaurant was busy but not overly crowded. I think if it were full it would be difficult for a table of 6 to converse. Noisy. Food was delicious. Server (John, maybe? It was a little noisy). Was attentive and patient. Helpful with menu and wine questions. The place is a little pricey, but upscale and high quality. Enjoyed our evening.

We had dinner and were able to eat outside. It was quiet and lovely. We didn't need heaters, but they were there in case. We started with the Dillinger side car----a great drink. I had the fish tacos. They were delicious---not quite a main meal for heavier eaters, but I wasn't too hungry so they were perfect. My friend ordered the St Louis ribs. Magnificent! Tasty and meaty.
