My boyfriend and I had a dinner date for the first time in months and it was absolutely amazing. Martin had the best recommendations and top tier service. Highly recommend requesting him!

I really like the Culinary Dropout in Tempe and the Culinary Dropout in North Scottsdale. Unfortunately this one is not good - the service was offhand, verging on rude, the food poor quality and atmosphere not good. I recommend to

It started as a project within a university, where gastronomy students tested ideas, but it grew so much that it is now a place with a super varied menu. They have everything: good quality ingredients and a great balance between proteins, vegetables, legumes and seeds. What makes the food special is that they prepare it in an authentic way, just like in their countries of origin. They also have a great list for putting together charcuterie boards and combinations that really feel authentic and different. My respects to the entire team!

We tried all the apps on the happy hour menu and it was all delicious. The drinks were also well done. Service was friendly and efficient, staff genuinely seemed happy to be there.

10/10 across the board — Culinary Dropout is a must visit restaurant in AZ. Whether it be the cozy, grounded and inspiring atmosphere (shout out to Madison and Payton) to the incredible from-scratch menus options, the attention to detail is carefully crafted at every level. Culinary Dropout is a master-class in what a restaurant experience should look and feel like. Thank you to the entire team for showing authenticity and radical candor. We will be back soon!

Reegan was so awesome!!

Bacon Bloody Mary
My wife had this cuz I don't like bloody Marys
Not too tomato heavy, definitely a bloody but not in your face, good salt level
She asked for it spicy and they came through
You get the smoke from the bacon
She repeated her comment about the spiciness

Room Service
American gin, lemon, strawberry, bubbly wine
I'm not a gin drinker, but this sounded super refreshing, so I ordered it
First sip I was sold; both the lemon and strawberry flavors are very subtle, and there is no hint of the harsh juniper bite of gin, but the drink as a whole is very light and refreshing
The slices of strawberry were delicious

Prosciutto deviled eggs
Weirdly this comes as three half eggs, so we did a double order
The prosciutto is sprinkled on the plate, not on the eggs, which is weird
Over all, the flavor was underwhelming, sprinkling pepper on top helped
There's no such thing as a bad deviled egg but I wouldn't order these again

Wellness Retreat
Vodka, pineapple, jalapeno, mint, and sparkling wine
Tastes like an alcoholic smoothie, like a green goodness bolt house, with vodka, with a definite but subtle mint undertone, like a back flavor

Smokehouse Hash
Slow roasted BBQ pork, crispy potato, charred onion, poblano pepper, Sunny side up egg (we ordered over hard), flour tortilla
(We ordered an extra egg and they split our order into two bowls so we each got good proportions, and our own tortilla)
Potatoes are perfectly crispy, well seasoned, eggs were perfectly cooked, came with pico de gallo, and cheese
Tortilla, while not necessarily hot, was warm, and very fresh
Even though it was a split order, the meat to potato ratio is a bit light

Campfire Vibes
100 proof bonded bourbon, chai jacked apple cider, Spanish vanilla roasted five spice
Smells like fall
This is the ultimate spiked apple cider, can't even tell there is bourbon in it, and I'm not a bourbon drinker

Lilly was such an amazing server, so helpful, and just a great personality

For at least 2 years my wife 's number one can't be beat drink in the valley has been the No. 109 at the Windsor; the Campfire Vibes just took the title

20/10, would recommend, WILL return

So we heard about this place and it looked so funky and it was so so busy we were sat instantly and ordered a very mediocre forgettable meal. We tried the special restaurant week fried chicken it was well below any Popeyes chicken I ever had. The chicken was dry the slaw was rancid and the buttermilk bun was cold dry and gross. The yummiest thing was the pretzels with cheese dip - delish. Anything else should be avoided. Oh, and a glass of Diet Coke is $6. That’s six dollars for a glass of Diet Coke. Not impressed.
