Culinary Dropout

went here for a valentine’s day brunch and split the whipped feta, prosciutto deviled eggs, banana french toast, and had the southwest bowl. the whipped feta was probably the best part, it had pomegranate and apricot jam in it and was whipped to perfection. phenomenal flavor combination and a must have. the prosciutto devil eggs were good but nothing noteworthy, and the southwest bowl was also great flavor combination but nothing out of this world. the banana french toast was delicious. the creme and almond pieces were great additions to the toast flavor profile. nice and fluffy. also would recommend. our service was incredible, our server was kind and very attentive. he had great suggestions and was funny. the atmosphere was amazing. unique ambiance of up scale and also edgy with the

Stopped into Culinary Dropout while in Scottsdale for our beloved San Francisco Giants spring training, and let’s just say… this place actually lives up to the hype. The vibe? On point. Cool without trying too hard, lively without being chaotic, exactly what you want when you’re out enjoying vacation in Scottsdale. But the real standout was our server, Nicole. In a world where decent service is becoming a rare commodity, Nicole came in and absolutely crushed it. Attentive, knowledgeable, and actually engaged with us, instead of doing the drive-by “everything good?” routine. She walked us through the specials, the cocktails, and made the whole experience seamless.

Culinary Dropout absolutely delivered. Despite the bustling crowd, our wait time was surprisingly reasonable. The food was outstanding! The steak and frites was perfectly cooked and came with a refreshing, delicious salad. The prime rib dip was tender and incredibly tasty. And don’t get me started on the Banana Bar for desert! We had top notch service. Garett was professional, warm, and genuinely accommodating. Even with the high volume, he never missed a beat—checking in, offering recommendations, and making us feel like we were one of his only tables. When we encountered a minor issue, Jake (the manager) came by, apologized and made everything right. Culinary Dropout proves that even on a packed night, excellence doesn’t take a back seat. Our bellies are full, happy, and we can’

Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing — we had the breakfast burritos, pretzel bites with cheese fondue, and an appetizer that was just delicious. The mocktails were refreshing and beautifully made, and even the bottled water had personality (“Wish you were beer” — loved that!). The atmosphere was fun and vibrant, perfect for brunch or lunch with friends. The service was attentive and friendly, and everything came out quickly. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to next time I’m in town!

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Get the shrimp rice appetizer because it’s both unique and delicious! Then build your own charcuterie board! Everything was so yummy. The service was fabulous and the vibe was chill. I can’t wait to go back!
