    I LOVE Culinary Dropout. I've been several times and have never had a bad experience but this weekend's visit was special. We celebrated my sister's birthday on Friday night, and our server Richard was exceptional. The seasonal entrees did not disappoint, especially the kale and butternut squash salad (get it with salmon). The peanut butter sundae was also incredible, and if you've never had the pretzels and fondue, you are missing out. Note: if you want the new lasagna, you should plan for an early dinner: they ran out right before my mom could get it bc they were still figuring out the demand for the brand-new item.

    Short ribs were very tender. Two in my party had them, while I had the beef. All three were excellent. Service was also very good. Have been here several times and not been disappointed.
