    We had such a lovely time! Everything, the food, the staff, and the atmosphere, was just right. I was really impressed by the vegan menu, the vegan Fritto Misto and the Chickpea dish were both highlights of the meal. It’s a wonderful spot for celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a beautiful evening out.

    Our visit to Culinary Dropout honestly started off a little rough, but everything changed once we spoke with the manager, Derek. He handled the situation with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. Instead of making excuses, he listened, took action immediately, and completely turned our experience around. It’s rare to come across a manager who truly understands hospitality the way Derek does. He checked on us personally, made sure we were taken care of, and made us feel valued as guests. Because of him, what could have been a disappointing night ended up becoming a memorable one. The food ended up being delicious, the atmosphere was great, and Derek absolutely saved the day. Customer service like that deserves recognition. We can’t wait to come back!
