We had an excellent experience at Culinary Dropout at The Summit in Birmingham, AL. Our server was knowledgeable and accommodating, and all of our food choices were delicious. My favorite was the Crispy Popcorn Shrimp appetizer. (The creamy sauce was a bit different than the norm & so yummy!) C.D. offers an upscale, not-stuffy atmosphere, with fun cocktails and a cool vibe. Highly recommend!

We had a birthday celebration for a group of six steak enthusiasts. The food was OUTSTANDING. The quality, the flavors, the presentation. Service very patient (we had a merciless clown among us), friendly and efficient without hovering. Portions are enormous, we had to pack away half of our food. All-in-all, great experience. Here are the entrees we tried: the famous pork chop (a.k.a. OMG), ribeye (buttery tender), Three Kings Mignon - all excellent. Pork chop is truly stupendous - three cuts, three different textures, tru awesomeness! Sides: corn brûlée (amazing), potato au gratin (excellent), creamed spinach (on par), and grilled veggies. Desserts: Chocolate Jubilee (scary rich and humongous), Creme Brûlée, and Lemon Bar. Loved all three. Everyone tried a little, and six of us couldn't finish the Chocolate Jubilee. That's a major accomplishment for a family of gluttons. We also had some wine, a dirty martini, and a spinach salad. We had the best time, honestly. Highly recommend. It's a truly upscale fine dining, not your everyday dinner, but so worth it.

We had excellent service from our server Tyler. The lemon ricotta linguine with chicken was recommended and was indeed delicious. The linguine and meatballs and wood grilled Caesar salad were favorites and were delicious, as well. We had a wonderful dinner.

The food was awesome, and the service we received was just as good. I made reservations and when I arrived my table was available at the specified time.

The manager was very kind and helpful to my children. Great manager.
