   The food was okay, but our server was terrible. Which made the experience even worse.

   Food was okay. The service was okay. The best part was the live singer, she was very good and fun to listen to.

   The service was spectacular. Unfortunately one of our dishes was not tasty but the manager jumped right in and made things right. Our server was excellent. We even had a 2nd server who mistakenly thought our table was in his section who constantly checked in with us each time!!

   This place truly has something for everyone. First off, the space is massive, with plenty of seating to accommodate parties of all sizes. It’s also kid-friendly, though on a Friday night, the crowd was mostly adults, making it perfect for a date night. On this visit, we started with the pretzel bites with cheese dip and the tomato soup as appetizers—both were excellent. For our entrees, we tried the steak frites and the 36-hour ribs. The ribs were incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the jalapeño molasses BBQ sauce was a standout. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of spice—the sauce wasn’t spicy, just flavorful. As much as we wanted to try the monkey bread with vanilla ice cream for dessert, we were too full to even think about it! Our server, Angel, made the experience even better. He walked us through the menu, offering personal recommendations that added a great touch. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, the service was top-notch, and we left very impressed.

   First time eating at Culinary Outlook. My coworkers and I had our secret Santa exchange there on Tuesday. Food and service was amazing. Definitely plan on going back to try more food.

   Food was not good. They were out of the entree I ordered but never told me until everything else came out and I inquired as to where it was. My friends half full wine glass was removed from the table before she was finished….just overall not good.

    Food very good. Our server was very nice but very forgetful. Would say she’ll be right back to take our order and then take two other tables before remembering us. Took glasses to refill drinks and forgot to bring them back. It took well over 1/2 hour to even place an order and then she said they were out of pizza (at 11:30 Sunday morning )
