    Previous experiences at Culinary Dropout were excellent, but this visit simply ok. Pizza not hot and service slow, which seemed to be a kitchen issue. Wait staff were good.

    We got there for an 830 reservation on New Year’s Eve. Expecting that we would be enjoying a special dinner of lobster and steak and Prosecco. When we got there, they were out of both. In addition, it took us 20 minutes to get anyone’s attention to even get a glass of water. The manager offered to comp our $40 bill at the end of the day, which was a pretty feeble attempt at an apology. I have been going to Fox restaurants for over 10 years when they first started in Arizona. This is by far the worst experience that I’ve ever had and I will not be going back even though I live in the neighborhood.

    Hi Robb, Thank you for the feedback about your experience with us last night. We spoke at length at the table, but I'd like to apologize again for what was not a normal evening for us at CDO. We'd love the opportunity to earn your business back in the future. You have my GM's card as well as my own, please don't hesitate to reach out if we can offer you a vip treatment your next time in. I truly hope to hear from you. Micah Scott AGM CDO

    We went for the New Year's Eve special steak and lobster. It was delicious. We were seated for almost 15 minutes before the server knew we were at a table in his section, but once he knew we were there, service was ok. We'd go back because the food was delicious.

    Amazing from the second we walked in!! Granted, it was 11am for brunch but everything was WONDERFUL. Casual, relaxed, trendy…not over board. If the AARP set feel super comfortable, they’ve nailed it 😁 The Feta and Tahini appetizer… OMG! You have to get it. First time eating there, I’m in love.

    This was a place we visit regularly, but the service was so incredibly bad, we may not go back.

    Hi Anji, Please message me some more details of your visit whenever you are able. We hold our front of house team to a very high standard, and it sounds like we missed the mark during your dining experience. I'd love to make it up during your next visit if you are open to that.

    The appetizer and drinks were great. Our server appeared to be handling the entire restaurant and as a result the wait times for drinks and food were quite long despite the restaurant being quite empty. The dish I had ordered several times prior came to me completely charred almost entirely burned. They re-made the bread and forgot to bring it out. I was offered a complimentary dessert that was so burned that I nearly chipped my tooth. We will not be back.

    Hi Lori, Thank you for the review of your recent visit with us at CDO Denver. We hold our front and back of house teams to a very high standard, and it sounds like we missed the mark on multiple aspects of your visit, I do apoligize. Were you able to speak to a manager by chance while you were here? We appreciate any opportunity to fix any mistakes while you are with us, so that you leave 100% satisfied! I'd love the chance to show you what a normal experience at CDO is like, and show your group a Vip treatment with some dishes on us. Please let me know if you are open to that. Thanks so much. Micah Scott AGM CDO

    Parking is a bit of a hassle in this area. Our waiter never offered dessert or anything else after our dinner. He was more interested in taking care of a table full of young ladies. The au jus with the French dip,was only lukewarm warm, and the food took way to long to arrive at the table.
    Culinary Dropout - DenverResponded on December 23, 2024
