    We had very high expectations when we booked our anniversary dinner at Culinaria. I had been there many years ago, when it was called the Elliott House. As the restaurant for a cooking school, we really expected that the food would be outstanding. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with the overall experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted and escorted to our table in the front room, where we were the only guests. It was absolutely freezing in that room, and stayed that way for the entire duration. While we didn’t complain to the staff, we figured that they should have noticed. Service overall was prompt, and friendly. But it felt like they were busy attending to a large party in another room at the back of the restaurant. Warm bread accompanied by a compound butter was very good. Our shared starter of fried calamari was quite good, with a lightweight coating. My wife said that her salmon main was good, but that the risotto was bland, as were the vegetables. I ordered the special beef tenderloin, and had to send it back because it was overcooked. Our server returned a mentioned that they had cut into the steak’s center and agreed that it wasn’t the medium-rare that I had ordered, and that it wasn’t more toward medium-well. I was surprised that a cooking school couldn’t get something so basic right. Right then, the owner came by and his version was that they had checked the temperature in the center of the steak and it was definitely a medium-rare as I had ordered, and that I probably prefer my steak more rare. His comment made it appear as though their mistake was my fault. The replacement steak took about 10 minutes, and was done perfectly. My overall meal was very excessively over salted. In all fairness, they did comp my second glass of wine. Overall, we left very disappointed and will not return. I can’t really recommend this restaurant, which is a shame because we are always looking for a great dining experience.

    We had a retirement party here and they gave us a private room which was just lovely and we all had a great time. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal. Thank you to the incredible staff which was very attentive and just excellent.

    Wow, what a fantastic restaurant! We were having a leadership dinner and I put a bunch of options to the team and they selected Culinaria. Our reservation was early so we were initially the only customers. The attention to service, real service, was paramount. The restaurant is sectioned to allow intimate group or individual dinners. The food was spectacular, and we really enjoyed the amuse bouche that was served in a warmed bowl. The entrees were plated nicely, and packed full of wonderful flavors. I talked my team members into trying the risotto for the starch, and he loved it. The service, food, and atmosphere was top notch. I will definitely be back soon to enjoy again!!
