    Excellent food and service. Wait staff was lovely. This is a nice place for kids as well - right level of noise and fun yet relaxing decor. Unique menu. Salads and breakfast items and chips appetizer were all delicious and even better than expected. Really great cocktails as well.

    This was a new restaurant for me and it was a fun place. I took my dog and she was welcomed with a bowl of water. It was my son's birthday and he got to choose a dessert on the house. We had fun. The food was good. I had a chicken salad and my son had the 36 hour roasted ribs. He said they were very good. We had popcorn shrimp as a shared appetizer and there were plenty of shrimp and even some French fried zucchini.

    Came to celebrate Father’s Day and no regrets! It was recommended to try the brussel sprouts and I was very pleased with the flavor. If you’re looking for a good lemon drop, this is your place!

    My husband and I had dinner for the first time on Saturday night at the Culinary Dropout - we chose this restaurant so that we could watch the Stanley Cup on their multiple televisions. What a great experience - the food was terrific, the service was top notch and atmosphere lively and sophisticated - and the TVs were plentiful and all showing the Stanley Cup. We'll come again!

    Way too noisy with TV screens everywhere. Try it if that's your thing.
