    We went to bar Blitzen, as part of there Christmas pop up. The only word is overrated. I saw videos on TIC TOC and they do not look anything like I witnessed. It was okay and WAY overpriced.

    Way too noisy. Couldn’t hear our conversation. Waited a long time to be served. Food was good. Too noisy, wouldn’t go back there again.

    Service was really slow. We got our appetizers before our first drinks. Took forever to get our servers attention. Food was okay

    The venue is really cool. The portion sizes for the entrees are smaller than what I would’ve liked.

    I’ve eaten at Culinary several times. The food is usually decent. Last night wasn’t so great. The fries were barely warm on both plates and the French dip sandwich was small for the price. The best part of the meal was the pretzel balls. I had the French Dip, my wife had the fish and my daughter had the brazed short ribs. Her meal was fine. They don’t have cocktail sauce for the fish so they had to make some. My wife said it was fine. Might have been an off night but the final bill didn’t seem like it was worth it
    Culinary Dropout at the Yard - TempeResponded 6 days ago
    Hello Steve, thank you for sharing your feedback. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the pretzels with provolone fondue and the braised short rib, but we're sorry to hear that your recent experience didn't meet the high standards we've come to expect. We sincerely apologize for the temperature of the fries and the portion size of the prime rib dip sandwich. We will definitely review this with our team to ensure we're offering the best quality and service. We truly value your loyalty and hope you'll give us another chance to provide the exceptional meal and experience you're used to.
