    First time here, date night with my husband. We loved the vibe and the food was outstanding. Our server, Matt was super awesome. I loved the live music. I also loved that you could hear the songs, but you weren't yelling at the person across the table. I hate when the music is super loud. So this was perfect. We will 100% be back!

    Came after our flight was delayed several hours and was surprised that they offered a full menu (even at 11pm). Our server was great. Unfortunately our appetizers were delayed due to a large party ahead of us so the manager preemptively comped them (frankly wouldn’t have even thought to ask so if was a very nice surprise after a long travel day). The popcorn shrimp was delicious as was the crusty garlic bread. The fish n chips had a nice batter and crisp but the fish inside was a little tough. Would recommend to anyone visiting Cherry Creek/Denver and we would definitely will return to try other things on the menu.

    We made a reservation and were able to be seated right away. We had the Spicy Shrimp Crispy Rice, Chicken Cacio e Pepe, and the Crispy Chicken Katsu sandwich - all dishes were great! To finish we had the Mississippi Mud Pie - I can’t say enough good things about the chocolate espresso sauce! Highly recommend for elevated, yet casual dining!

    We were surprised and delighted by the entire experience. The wait staff was excellent. The food was flavorful and served hot in a timely manner. The decor was unique and eye-catching. The only negative aspect was when the air conditioning kicked in I felt quite cold, but that's a small price to pay for the delightful evening that we had.

    Visiting from out of town and came upon Culinary Dropout. Excellent find! Food, service, aesthetic- all beat our expectations. Very cute area of Denver with park just across the street. Would definitely return if we’re back in town.
