Good food and service but noise nearly so loud one cannot carry on a conversation at your table.
Everything was very good. The food was very tasty. We were very disappointed that a hamburger we had ordered was not cooked properly. The waitress asked if we'd like it be done quickly. It was not redone quickly. Everyone had finished their meals way before the new meal was delivered. I don't feel the replacement burger was properly prioritized in the kitchen.
Great spot to meet up for a drink and appetizers, or stay a while and choose a burger, pasta, etc off the menu. Although expect some noise, you can easy carry on a conversation and the food and service are always good....
I was looking forward to a date night with my wife. The wonderful weather led us to sit outdoors but the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation with my wife sitting next to me. The road noise and eventually the birds roosting was too much.
We went on a slow night (Wednesday) at 8:30 pm and had an unnecessary reservation. The place was pretty empty. Our server could not have been any slower. We watched in amazement as we sat looking for help when she was gossiping with other staff, hanging out in the kitchen and bar, or standing around and playing with her hair. We sat there thirsty for most of our meal because drink refills were rarer than an albino tiger. We were going to get dessert, but when it took forever just to get her to come back to the table we decided we did not want to wait around for another 30 minutes. On other occasions this has been a great place to eat, but Wednesday night at 8:30 pm was a huge disappointment for our son's going away dinner. With that said, the food was good and the atmosphere is fun. I don't know what was going on with our server, but this was not a good night for her.
Culinary Dropout just isn't worth the price anymore. Service was meh, place was loud and the menu is extremely limited. Not sure if I'll be back given the price, menu, service and noise level.
We made a reservation at 6:45 and didn't end up being sat until after 7 PM. The manager was nice enough to offer us a chips and dip appetizer because of our wait. The restaurant was extremely busy and even though we sat inside, it was absolutely freezing! I'm not sure why the heaters weren't on higher but we were cold the entire dinner. We got a few other appetizers that were very good, but then when our meal came, I found a large black piece of hair in my steak frites! I had let one of the food runners know who failed to then inform our waitress. I I did end up informing her once I realized he had not told her anything, and she got the manager who came over and apologized, offering me a free drink, and they also comped the food. The best part honestly was our waitress, she was inundated with tables, she had a huge party and a couple other tables, but she was still very attentive and very sweet! She was extremely sympathetic to the situation with the hair and offered many apologies on behalf of the restaurant.  We made sure to tip her extra, even though the food experience was disappointing. 
Joseph was an exceptional waiter and paid close attention to our needs during a delicious lunch gathering of six women. My cousin said her pub burger was "perfect" and I'll say the seasonal special -- meatloaf -- was super satisfying as it was moist and flavorful. NO ONE complained! The cocktails were also yummy and beautifully presented. I Love coming here whenever I come to Arizona; our table had folks from Kansas and New York, too! It's great for families and dates, something for everyone.
First time going to the Gilbert location and it was an awesome experience.

My salmon was excellent. The restaurant had a modern vibe. Service was very good. The server returned several times to see if we needed anything. The manager stopped at our table to make ensure we were satisfied. The price was matched with quality.

We thought we reserved Bar Blitzen but when we got there it was closed for a private event. Open Table wasn't clear that this experience wasn't available. We still stayed for a cocktail and our server was amazing!
I forgot her name but our waitress was amazing!! She switched our table due to the outside booth being wet from the rain, helped us turn on the heaters and was very kind! I hope we get her again next time so i can shout her out by name 😭
Our server, Nick is always amazing! He goes above and beyond every time our ladies golf group has lunch at Culinary Drop Out!
