    I have been here many times. This was the worst. The dishes and silverware were dirty, the service was shockingly disorganized, and the food was sub par. We showed up for a reservation and were told it would 15 minutes until a server arrived. From order to drinks (water) was 20 minutes. Each water and coffee was hilariously was brought to a table of 6 one or two at a time. I will likely be back for drinks later in the day but brunch was a mess.

    We have been here lots of times but the last two times the service has been incredibly slow. Our server was doing the best she could but kitchen backups made the food take forever. Once we figured it was just a fluke, but now twice in a row, waiting an hour for the food to come out, will probably stop us from going back any more.

    Food is delicious but took awhile to come out. I also expected a bigger portion, especially for the mother's day special, short ribs with lobster risotto. There were only maybe three bites of each protein. Good atmosphere and friendly service.

    Some parts of the menu were confusing, our server was hardly seen for the 2hrs we were there, took over an hour for our food to come out, after waiting a very long time for our order to be taken. Shouldve been a 45 min brunch visit but the coffee wasnt even ready either. Waited almost 25 minutes for our cups to arrive. Why serve brunch if you cannot even have coffee ready at all times? Meager portions. outside of the pizza, boring food.

    It should never take over one hour to be served a hamburger, and while they did right by taking care of the bill, they let the other two meals sit there and get soggy without serving them. The kitchen cannot handle the size of the restaurant and their standard line is it’ll be out in three minutes.

    The service was lacking yesterday evening. I don’t think our server actually ever placed our food order as it took over 50 minutes to get my boy’s dinner to the table. I don’t care when our food comes, really, but please feed the kiddos! Nice of the managers to stop by and comp the app, but it doesn’t make up for being at a restaurant for over an hour and a half for what we thought would be a simple meal out.

    Decent experience but would have rather been inside. The patio area was really loud and had bad lighting. Food was good. Service was good. I’d go back for casual occasions. Nothing wrong with it. Just decent.

    Everything about Culinary Dropout made me want to go back! The food was fantastic, the servers were exceptional, and the ambiance was fun. Even the other people dining near me were pleasant (which obviously you can never control). It was a refreshing experience. The servers also checked on me to make sure I was okay during my first date with a guy. I found that to be very thoughtful! And while I'm not dating that person anymore, I do appreciate the care that the servers showed. I will be back - perhaps on a different date when I'm ready to date again lol.

    This was my third time here. Went this time with my friend who had never been. We had made a reservation beforehand as i had a feeling it was going to be busy. It took almost an hour o get our food which I thought was ridiculous as my friend ordered fish and chips and I just had French fries. I understand they were busy due to it being prom and a Saturday night but was not impressed. The restaurant is a cool environment but I wouldn’t go there for food or service.

    This was not a great experience. We had a 645 reservation on the covered patio for a Friday night date. A large group of unspupervised children was running, screaming, and throwing things in the corn hole area. The kitchen was pretty backed up and it was more than a 45 min wait for our food. The manager came over to apologize for the wait and the staff seemed to be equally annoyed at the playground, but no one did anything about either situation. Not the experience we were hoping for.

    We’ve come here many times, but last night was our first negative experience. The service was terrible. Our table was virtually ignored and we had to go to the bar several times for water, straws, and drink orders. It was moderately busy, so I understand service would be challenged, but other tables were served just fine by a different server. I expect more/better from this restaurant.

    Understaffed, food was very subpar. Service is typically better, and food was very disappointing. Two entrees came out and at the same time the server said they were out of pizza, so two diners had food and two didn't.

    Have eaten at the Scottsdale location several times so was eager to see how the Denver location compared: not well. Unlike the upbeat chaos in the Arizona outpost, the Denver dining room was low-key and a little too chill for a Thursday night (lots of empty booths and tables). Sadly, every dish, including coffee, came to the table lukewarm or cold. Our waiter was friendly, but disinterested. Overall, a completely mediocre experience. We won't be back.
