    Made a reservation for the upstairs patio. When we got there they put us in the private room upstairs by ourselves. It was very awkward. We asked to move us as I booked the rooftop, not an indoor room alone, and they made it seem like such an inconvenience. Once moved, service wasn’t great and heaters weren’t warm enough to reach certain tables.

    Met friends for lunch for our first visit here and we were all very happy with the food, atmosphere and service! We will definitely return! Didn't go up to the rooftop but I'm sure the view towards downtown would be good. Highly recommend!

    This is a neighborhood restaurant for us and we have enjoyed it several times since it opened. We appreciated Joe Wags on this trip who found a way to produce cocktail sauce for one of our party who really wanted it even though it was not on the menu. Thanks, Joe. We will keep coming back.

    Thank you so much for feedback Sunita! It was a pleasure meeting you and your guests. I'm so glad the gentlemen enjoyed the cocktail sauce that Chef was able to whip up for them. It looks like we might have missed the mark on some other items and we'd love to hear more about how we can be better for your next visit. We look forward to seeing you here again soon!

    Sat on the rooftop patio, on a cool autumn evening overlooking the Dallas skyline and a full moon up above. It was lovely! What's not to love? Our server, Andrea, was amazing! This was our second visit to Culinary Dropout, and it is our new favorite restaurant. All employees have been very friendly and helpful. Food and special cocktails are really good. A really fun place to dine.

It sounds like it was a perfect night to enjoy the rooftop patio that we love too! We can't wait to let Andrea know how much you enjoyed your experience and look forward to having you back with us again soon!

    Always love coming to CD as I go to the location in Austin a bunch. This was in Design District is a tad different menu but real good. Parkin is lackluster though
    Culinary Dropout – DallasResponded on 14 November 2024
    Thanks for sharing your feedback Damon. We loved to hear the food was as great here in Dallas as our Austin location. Our menus do differ sometimes especially with seasonal changes but hopefully we always have your favorites available. We're sorry to hear your parking experience was negative. We work diligently with our valet partner to provide great hospitality the second your car comes in the lot. We'd love to hear specific feedback so we can improve the process for your next visit. We look forward to hearing back from you and seeing you here in Dallas soon!

    Love the ambiance, good for groups, large bar area and a wonderful rooftop bar that opens at 4pm with a stunning view of downtown Dallas. Parking was an issue, you may have to park on a side street and walk. Our food was hit and miss, nothing that really stood out except the soup.

    Amazing dinner! We tried the Steak Frites, the Southern Fried Chicken, and Brussels Sprouts. The steak was tender enough to cut with a butter knife, and the fried chicken was crunchy and crispy! Flavors on everything was great. the Sweater Weather sangria is also really good, you can smell the spices as you’re drinking it. Our server was also great, he was very attentive and knew the menu like a pro. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes!

    Took over 20min to seat, even though we had reservations. Also had to be reseated because they wouldn't initially seat us in shade, only full sun. Food was good, but there is no espresso at brunch, heads up.
