Hit and miss at best. I was excited to try Culinary Dropout because I've never had a bad experience with a Fox restaurant, but this one came up a bit short. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting, perhaps places like North and The Green House have set the bar a little too high. \nFirst of all, the service wasn't great. Our server was inattentive, and we spent most of the night getting drink refills and new silverware from another server, who was friendly and happy to help.\nTried an assortment of food off the menu. The anitpasti was excellent; I loved the selection of meats and cheeses and our ability to mix and match. Next we had oysters on the half shell. They were fantastic! After that we tried the gnocchi with Italian sausage. They shouldn't call it gnocchi, it was more like mashed potatoes. The whole dish was a bland, mushy mess. The one saving grace of the dish were the large pieces of Italian sausage. Finally we tried the cuban sandwich, which tasted good, but was nothing spectacular. \nI'll be back at Culinary Dropout, if only for drinks and apps. Any place with Moose Drool on tap is pretty good in my book.
