I had a fun little foodie adventure at Culinary Dropout in Orange! From the moment i walked in, i…read moreloved the chill atmosphere! the beautiful décor, trendy industrial touches, warm lighting, greenery, and gorgeous open bar gave this place such a cool, lively, fun vibe! It's the kind of spot where you can enjoy good food, great conversations, and just have a fun time!
And about the FOOD! We ordered quite a variety, including: Spicy avocado roll ($15): THE STAR OF THE SHOW! This was hands down my favorite! So delicious that we actually ordered it TWICE! Yes, twice! When you find something you love, why stop at one? LoL...Rainbow roll ($22): (raw) Another sushi option we decided to try! Beautifully presented and a nice addition to our little feast. chopped chicken salad for $22.50 which it was a colorful, generously loaded bowl with chicken, avocado, bacon, tomatoes, egg, and plenty of delicious toppings! Shrimp & avocado Louie for $24 was another beautiful, fresh-looking salad packed with shrimp, avocado, eggs, and greens, with dressing served on the side.We also enjoyed a refreshing beer while soaking up the atmosphere!
And can we talk about the customer service?! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Our server was wonderful, and the service made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
A few tips before visiting so it's good to be aware that this is definitely more of a lively, energetic hangout than a quiet, romantic restaurant. If you're looking for a fun atmosphere, a beautiful bar, and a place to socialize, you'll probably love the vibe! I'd recommend making a reservation during busy evenings. They also have vegetarian-friendly options, which is always a plus!
Parking tip: The parking area is across the street from the restaurant, so keep that in mind when you arrive! Right in front of the restaurant, there are two designated accessible parking spaces and a pickup area, rather than regular parking. A little heads-up to save you from circling around looking for a spot!
Overall, Culinary Dropout delivered a really fun experience! And honestly, I'm still thinking about that Spicy Avocado Roll!
Would i come back? Absolutely! And you already know what I'm ordering first!!!!!!!
