Culinary Dropout

We had a great experience at Culinary Dropout in Orange and would definitely return. We were a party of three with an early reservation, and everything started off smoothly. One of our friends arrived before us and was seated early with no issues. They offer complimentary valet, so definitely take advantage of that. Street parking is also available, but it can be tricky, especially on weekends. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside, and the atmosphere was lively but comfortable. Our server, Trenton, took care of us, checking in at all the right times. We also loved seeing the store manager, David, actively involved. He was constantly circulating, helping tables, and checking in on us frequently, it's always nice to see management so hands-on! For starters, w

Great service and delicious food. It seems like a new place. everything from the interior design to the furniture and lighting was beautifully done. Two people in our party wanted to share a dish, and the staff thoughtfully served it already split into two bowls. Very professional and attentive service!

Finally got to try this place and we came for happy hour. It did not disappoint. They have several options for happy hour as far as food and drink drinks go. We were seated in the bar area and our server was attentive. We opted for the brussels sprouts, pretzel and fondue cheese dip, and the short ribs. I really enjoyed the ribs with the spicy slaw. Brussels were great as well. Great vibes’

We stopped by for a quick happy hour visit. We sat at the bar and had a great visit with the bar tenders and the general Manager, who is very motivated to have an excellent establishment. We hope to return as we enjoyed our drinks. They have a nice HH menu, worth checking out! I was particularly impressed by the customer service. I was kindly offered a choice of desserts for my birthday. As well, the happy hour food we wanted was not available. The rain had delayed the delivery Service. Our server suggested an alternative. We didn’t love it and she kindly took her off our bill. Very impressive customer service! We will return!

Excellent food, drink, service, and ambiance. Ima sucker for a good prime rib dip and didn't disappoint. The Mongolian ribs are delish with a rich sauce (they're not too saucy). The drinks are mostly bomb. The Abandoned Cadillac was delicious, perfectly sweet, and the pomegranate redux was amazing. The Evil Jungle Princess was tasty and the guava gave it a nice fruity flavor. The Two to Mango was a let down with the High Noon can...I'd prefer fresh ingredients not a can. Overall a great experience
