This has become one of my favorite restaurants!!! The ambiance is smooth, the food is really good, and the service is great! Ask for Ron! He's wonderful! I've held one rooftop event there so far and it was everything! Nina and Alyssa do excellent work. The atmosphere was festive, the wait staff was fantastic, the menu and drink selections they prepared for us were a hit! I have referred them in my personal and professional circle. I'm told another party has already been planned by a guest of mines. If you haven't been go!!!!

Great cocktails, great rooftop, great location. Location and Parking Located in Midtown, parking is validated in the lot next to the building. Venue and Atmosphere We sat on the rooftop, which was lovely. A large stone fireplace warms the entire roof, but we had a heat lamp as well since it was a breezy night. We observed lovely sunset views of Midtown. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages I really enjoyed the autumn sangria, set off with a hint of apple cider. The chef's selection charcuterie board was delicious. The fish and chips were decent, not the best I've had in ATL but I ate them. The fries could've been seasoned better and weren't very crunchy. The fish batter lacked flavor but the texture was right. Verdict Overall I would return for a cocktail and rooftop views, but I'll skip the food next time.

While the food was good, the service was terrible. Of the 6 of us dining, three of the orders were incorrect. Lunch in the mostly empty restaurant took over two hours. Then we were told the restaurant would comp some of the items but they didn't. A manager never came to apologize or check in given the terrible service.

First off the ambiance is lit, I love that they allow there employees to wear what they want. I felt like i was at a sit in fashion show. The food was amazing. We really enjoyed it .

Very slow serviceFood was bland- tasteless, I had the fish, and the serving of green beans was not a full serving. He-she should have continued the cooking courses.Atmosphere is nice.

I had brunch at Culinary Dropout today. First, the hostess was rude, and took a long time to seat us even though the restaurant was basically empty. After making us wait and right before actually seating us, she answered the phone and made us further wait while she took a call.The waitress was nice, but didn’t clear our table and also took a while to bring our check when we were just sitting there doing nothing and clearly done eating. Again, the place wasn’t that busy and only started to fill when we were leaving.I had the breakfast burrito and it was not good at all. It had this fake looking nacho cheese smothered across the top of it that looked congealed from sitting too long. Would not recommend this place at all for brunch.

Culinary Dropout was such a disappointment. We arrived on time and were promptly sat at the first table by the entrance. 10 mins later after no one one came over even though we were looking over at front reception but yet had to ask for a waiteress. Then before we could even ask about the menu we were told they didn't have half the menu available. Mind you our reservation was at 6:30pm way before any restaurant would be closing. No trout, no salmon, no steak, no onion rings, etc... We settled for the shrimp appetizer and fried chicken and hamburger. Drink came and were the best thing we had. We had to ask for a glass of water. The food came out before the appetizer but was still cold and not good. The shrimp when it did come out was pretty good though. The ambiance of the restaurant looked good but had the same vibe as most of the Atlanta restaurants. Lyrics on the wall, open ceilings, etc.. We left with a very 'meh' taste literally and figuratively.

Very mid. I am shocked this currently is at 4.3 stars. Service was very slow and not friendly. Drink was very average. I got the grapefruit spritz. We split the pretzel bites and fondue. Pretzel was pretty good but cheese was lumpy and lukewarm. It came in a little cast iron bowl with a candle under it, but the candle wasn't lit. I don't think it would have helped the cheese at that point. I got the chicken katsu sandwhich with fries. I got about 6 fries total. It looked like they dropped my plate and then just gave me what was left. The sandwhich was pretty good but could have been so much better, not enough to carry everything else that was average or wrong. The live music was fun, but in Atlanta, there's so many choices; I need more than just good live music and expensive average food that I could get from the freezer isle to come back. Overall, wouldn't recommend.

We came for an early dinner on a Sunday before a trip to the Fox Theater. Everything was great! The service was wonderful and food was very good. The best meal in our opinion was the pesto chicken pasta. Nachos and pretzel bites were also good.
Drinks were ok, ordered a Bloody Mary that was very light in flavor, my sister ordered their version of a spicy margarita that she sent back. We ordered the bbq nachos, awful. It came out cold, the pico was old (tomato's are a telling sign), overall it lacked flavor and we had to send back. The kids fries were the best. Won't be returning.
Ron was awesome! The service was impecable, he made me feel welcome and his vibe was great. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly, so I’ll definitely be coming back.

Really great place. Food was excellent. Service was wonderful (Jhuron). We came on a Friday night and sat upstairs where there was live music….jazz/pop covers. My entire family enjoyed it, including my toddler and preteen. Definitely check them out. Drinks fantastic too (including non-alcoholic).
