   Well. For starters. I booked a reservation through OpenTable, for the NYE Experience that was promoted / listed via OpenTable…. For the 1000 Marietta St location. I confirmed via message that teenagers were allowed. Great. When we arrived for our 11:30PM reservation we were met with “well, we can seat you but we close at midnight.” Excuse me? It came across rude - like I’m not wanted there because of the TIME. So I immediately went back to the post on OpenTable. I knew I wasn’t tripping. It said THIS location. My night was a flop - thanks to the false advertising. It’s imperative that businesses that USE these platforms take the time to review, update and ensure the information is ACCURATE. Furthermore, the waiter/host emphasized that their location didn’t participate in this experience and it was “probably” something for the Dunwoody location. Why wasn’t it listed under that location then? Just a hot mess, on NYE. Very disappointing for me. Needless to say, the food, for me … was not 4 or 5 stars. And I’m not just saying that because of how things turned out. I ordered the shrimp fried rice $25 - the portion was small, it was very spicy … basically too much spice to enjoy. I don’t know if that was intentional. But Gordon Ramsey wouldn’t have liked that either lol. Because we arrived between 11:30-11:45 the bar was “closed” - so that was another added thorn in my side. It takes 2 min to make me a drink. That’s the least they could’ve done. Anyway. Will I be going back? Probably not. I just can’t get past the fact that the information was wrong. Really ruined the experience for me. I didn’t really like the menu options. I was also advised to scan a QR code to access “accurate” info about their events. No thanks. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. I didn’t even get any pix of the food. Too busy being upset about my “experience.”

   Culinary Dropout has been one of my Favorite restaurants for 2024, which is why decided to have my birthday dinner there. I was so disappointed. They were outing several drinks, appetizers , and out entrees were either too salty( salmon) or just not good. My friends didn’t see why I was bragging on the restaurant and they will probably not go back. I left feeling underwhelmed and hungry.

   I was in from New Jersey for the weekend with family. We found this place online and it did Not disappoint! Get the spicy shrimp and feta dip appetizers. They were beyond delicious. The staff was super friendly as well. I will definitely reccomend to friends and revisit if i am in the area again!

   The food is all very good, the pizza (Detroit Style) is the best pizza I’ve had in Atlanta.

   Wonderful date night. The two hostesses, Nautica and Mia, were instrumental in helping me tonight. Moses, our waiter I believe, was wonderful as well

   Poor service from the beginning. They were out of multiple ingredients for cocktails. Service was very slow. No check-ins for refills. Food was decent, but nothing excellent for the high prices.

   Taylor did a great job by herself for a party of 15 (that did not all arrive on time or at the same time). There were a few minor missteps which could have been avoided if Taylor had had some support and help. I don't think there is anything Taylor could have done better with the lack of support from the restaurant.
