    Appetizers were outstanding. Enjoyed the Feta dip and the pretzel bites. Salmon was good. Fried chicken didn't have enough seasoning. The slaw needed more celery presence, biscuit was outstanding, truffle fries were mediocre, and the potatoes we so starchy that the gravy didn't even matter.
    Culinary Dropout - CharlotteResponded today

We're sorry to hear about the seasoning and the slaw. We'll take your comments into consideration as we continually strive to improve our dishes. We're glad you enjoyed the biscuit and truffle fries, and we hope to see you again soon for a better experience. Best, Sean Simon General Manager

    I’ve been to Culinary Dropout numerous times and I’ve never had service quick like what we experienced during our last visit. It would be different if it was just us, but we noticed how slow and inefficient the service was all around us. The table next to us even sent back their plate twice. Maybe this was a fluke, but I won’t make this my first choice to dine again. We were celebrating my birthday and I brought people in from out of town for brunch.
    Culinary Dropout - CharlotteResponded today
    Hello Geneice, We appreciate your loyalty and the time you took to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the service during your visit didn't meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be when others around you experience delays, and we're sorry for the inconvenience. We're glad you enjoyed the food, but we understand that service is equally as important. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the service you've come to expect from us. Best, Sean Simon General Manager

    Food was not good. Had the steak and lobster and it was a Valentine’s Day special. The appetizer wings were warm, like they had been sitting for awhile. Drinks were ok. Definitely a 5/10.
