Opentable Diner

Service was good. Food was meh. Really surprised this is supposed to be a “scratch kitchen”. We found it mediocre and not a great value for the price at all. The pretzel bites were hard and dry, luckily the provolone fondue was good. The fried chicken was a little dry and not very flavorful. The fries were hard, cold, and over-salted. The shaved prime rib dip was just ok. Unfortunately we will not be coming back here. It was definitely not worth $100 for two people! The menu is very creative and has some great sounding dishes, so it was super disappointing that they didn't turn out too great. We would not recommend this place to anyone.

We love this restaurant and come often. As we've been trying new palces and came back here last night was impressed at how expensive it is for what you get! Looking over the wine menu it's jaw dropping to see a pour of a wine for almost the price of the bottle. The food is expensive as well! Great service and fun atmosphere Will definitely just come back for the happy hour deals!

The first time we went here we LOVED it. Came back with some extra people and weren't quite as impressed. The food just didn't seem as good as the first time. But still good

Delicious! This was my first time going to Culinary Dropout, and it was so worth it. My friends and I went for dinner after an escape room on a Sunday night. Making a reservation online was quick and easy. From the moment I walked in, the hostess greeted me with kindness and warmth. She had read the note on my reservation saying I was hard of hearing and wear hearing aids, so I would prefer our table to be away from any loud speakers/noises. She guided me over to a quieter wall of booths and let me choose which table would work best for me. I really appreciate her attentiveness and consideration! Afterward our server, Willard, was pleasurable and funny. He checked on us periodically, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. I had the Turkey Pastrami sandwich with french fries, and it was amazing. I love how they make their pretzel buns and ranch dressing in house. All of the food was fresh with an elevated feel, which made it worth the price! 10/10 would recommend. I will definitely be back :)

Great food and great service! First time to one of these restaurants and we were not disappointed.

i was a bit disappointed. the service was friendly but the food was not that good. The appetizer and entree were both greasy and the serving was too small for the price. Dessert took longer to serve. I hope they improve on those aspect in the future

My boyfriend and I showed up today 1/5/2024, a slow Sunday and waited forever to be seated. We waited patiently while multiple employees noticed we were waiting. One employee with a beard, glasses and long hair up in a man bun walked to the front to return menus to the hostess stand. He then made eye contact with us and turned to walk away to the back of the store. Awful service.

Edit in response to AGM: We walked next door to Blanco Cocina + Cantina and had a fantastic experience.

Dinner was really good. We had great service. The server brought us new small plates and napkins after we finished our starters. We will come back for dinner again.

The waiter was very nice, and helped us through the ordering process. There were also very talented live musicians playing classics, and football games being streamed on TV while we waited for our food. The kitchen is windowed, so you can see your order being made from scratch. The wait for the food was no longer than 20 minutes and the meal was exceptional. Usually I am not one for expensive restaurants, but this one is worth a try!

Went on Friday night, made reservations. Got right in to a nice table. Server and hostess both very friendly. Menu truly has something for everyone from simple palates to vegan or more complex taste buds. Roast salmon was cooked perfectly. Good portions. We’ll be back!

Horrible... False advertisement on the New Years dinner.

Came with friends and it was fine but unsure I'd come back.

The server spilled water on the table and table wasn't wiped off. He was busy but it seemed like servers have no help refilling water, drinks. etc. It took a while to get a new napkin and

The cocktails were good again but nothing I'd flock back for. Same with the food. Pretzel bites with cheese fondue good but I'll run to Lowry Beer Garden for their giant pretzel when in east Denver. The deviled eggs fine.

I had the French Dip which was good. The au jus was Fries were ok but not warm when they came out.

When I went to use the restroom it was dirty with paper towel all over the floor and into the hallway going back to restaurant.

For the price, service and parking (very very limited) I'd say this was not cracked up to the hype.

Parking: Shared with other restaurants and residential buildings. Limited at best.
