    We love going to Culinary Dropouts and always feel special when we go. We had Hannah, one of our favorite servers. She is on top of everything and does her job with poise and grace. The hostesses always greet us as though we are movie stars. We love everything about this restaurant. That is why we go two to three times a week! Yay, we love Culiary Dropouts.

    Our waiter made our night so fun. We were celebrating my birthday and had lots of appetizers including the beer cheese nachos, artichoke fritters, Diablo eggs & the crab cakes. Then went on to our entrees including the short ribs which were excellent, and everything our waiter recommended. Great night and will be back.

    Wonderful neighborhood breakfast/brunch gem! We weren't sure what to expect as it was our 1st visit, but we were very pleased with the food & service. Not a fan of how the waitlist program works, but we were seated quickly.
