    Best Bar Blitzen pop-up so far. Great food and easy spirits served up in a festive holiday decor. Only 2 negatives, very little Christmas music being played, maybe 1 out of 10 songs and there rest were "club beats" which felt out of place. The second was our bartender who was slow, distracted and acted like he didn't want to be there. Didn't ruin the vibe for us be we did hear others at the bar complain about his attitude and service too.

    I had booked the Christmas experience from 5:30 to 7pm only to fine out that a private party booked the whole event. Was a disappointment. The restaurant was so a cold atmosphere. they should’ve put some effort on decorations for the holidays would’ve made it a little bit more festive went to the bar to order a holiday drink and they told me they couldn’t make any Christmas drinks because they didn’t have the ingredients and it was only for the private event . Very disappointed. Seeing other restaurants near set up for Christmas was very nice , but Culinary Dropoyt not even one decor for Christmas in the main restaurant. It was a disappointment.

    We have a good experience when we go there. Food and service are very good. The only reason it’s not five star is because this rating system is flawed. There are different levels of restaurants.
