A: I'm not inclined to waste time crafting a cleverly worded review for such a subpar experience, so I'll just bullet point it out after a little background. I remember going to the GC as a kid/teenager for special events that called for a special, grand space and fancy food. The GC back then did an admirable job of accomplishing that. The main dining room (once the passenger terminal for the old PA and Lake Erie RR) is a spectacular, inspiring environment, and the food, if a bit stuffy, was well executed and fresh.The other night was a sad reminder that things change, often not for the better. Thusly: 1. Upon being seated a member of our party found a bunch of dirty cloth napkins _underneath_ the table. After asking the hostess what we should do with them we were met with something along the lines of "Well, I can't reach them so what would you like me to do?". This resulted in said party member handing the soiled linen to said hostess and quickly excusing herself to disinfect her hands. 2. We ordered a bottle of wine and the clearly inexperienced server didn't pour an even volume into all of glasses to the members of our party who were partaking. When we politely asked about this he said that if there's not an equal volume for the final glass then there's just not an equal volume for the final glass. As this is total hogwash we asked to speak to a manager who came over and provided a replacement glass of wine. 3. After the "wine incident" the waiter was visibly passive aggressive in his interactions with the table. It went so far as that when he'd walk away from our table, members of our party could see him shaking his head on multiple occasions. We were nothing but civilized following his mistake and this was obviously an amateur and immature reaction to not owning up to a simple mistake. 4. I had the salmon Rockefeller. It was barely edible. The fish was cooked dry and was not hot. I take that back, it was at precisely the temperature that a piece of fish would be at after sitting under a heating lamp for 45 minutes. Similarly, the bernaise sauce was congealed and the spinach and crab stuffing had little crap and a lot of watery spinach. The caesar salad contained precisely 1 piece of anchovy. 5. We ordered dessert and coffee. The member of our party who ordered an Irish coffee was forgotten. When we asked after 15min for the item it arrived in less than a minute, cold, and with obviously canned whipped cream oozing down the side of the glass. Oh yeah, and no spoon. 6. I ordered a beer. Despite the extensive wine list the GC has Coors Light on tap along with some other shitty beers and a couple of Sam Adams. I get they're not a gastropub or anything but there should be a little bit more attention to having one or two quality beers on draft. In summary, for about $40/person you can be sassed and served bad food in a delightful old building. It's a shame the GC has fallen so low. They need Gordon Ramsay to come in and knock some heads around because whatever they're doing these days is simply embarrassing.
Q: positive

A: Culinary Dropout rocks! The drink menu is awesome. Tons of beers to choose from and many priced around $5. The cocktails are very unique and really good. Now to the food. There are many standouts, but if you could only get one thing, get the Soft Pretzles with Provolone Fondue. They are amazing and I dream about them often. Soft pillowy pretzle bites that are moist and amazing. So good you can eat them plain. But you shouldn't because the provolone fondue is super yummy. For the entrees, I've had the Cuban Sandwich, Shaved Prime Rib Dip Sandwich, The Pub Burger, and the Gnocchi. The cuban sandwich is made with pork belly and is amazing. I usually ask for a little extra yellow mustard because I like my cuban to be a little more traditional. The Pub Burger is amazing. The Gnocchi is make with mushrooms and truffle oil and is heavy, but worth it. The atmosphere is beautiful and all of the waiters I've had have been great. They always make great recommendations are will take care of you. I will keep going to Culinary Dropout on a regular basis.
Problem: What would be an example of an positive (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive) review?

Answer: I came here shortly after they opened for the Yelp preview. I didn't want to write a review on that for a few reasons; mainly because it wasn't a true dining experience. The food and the cocktails were so awesome that night and the staff was amazingly friendly... I don't know what took me so long to come back. At the Yelp event, I love love love loved the lamb meatball (which seems to actually be the lamb burger on the menu) and the smart chicken. It was late night and I wasn't starving, so wanted to choose a smaller plate. I have a friend who once told me, "If a restaurant has crab cakes on the menu, order them. If the crab cakes are good, then you know it's a good restaurant." I saw crab cakes on the menu and thought of what he said. Now, I already knew this restaurant creates great food so didn't need to use the crab cakes as an indicator. I don't normally go for seafood items, but had crab cakes once that were delicious in DC and always wanted to taste crab cakes that good since then. I figured there was a good chance these crab cakes might give those DC cakes a fun for their money and I was so right. They were sooooooooo good. I'm still thinking about them and will be letting my crab cake loving friend know he's missing out if he doesn't ever get to eat these. Oh yeah, do you know they have a sausage of the day? Citizen Public House is awesome. Each month they have a cocktail pairing dinner that I keep meaning to get to. I love to drink and I love to eat. Smartest idea ever to pair foods with cocktails rather than cocktails to food. So far they've only been on nights where I have to work the next day; which explains why I haven't been to one yet. I'm just going to have to give in and use a vacation day for the following day for an upcoming dinner. The only thing they need to do in order to completely have my heart is serve weekend brunch. Once they do that, they will become my steady restaurant boyfriend.

Output: Eek! Methinks not! Took the family here for a birthday dinner for our son. Service was mediocre and the food was terrible. Food was lukewarm and lacked any flavor. Chicken seemed like it was cooked yesterday, or earlier. Our daughter even commented that she never thought someone could mess up a pancake! The worst part though was that 4/5 of us were sick for days from this meal. By the time we got home everyone was ill, and it unfortunately lingered. Don't see how this place will be in business much longer.

output: Meh. It was okay. Came here when we booked a 1/2 priced Cirque Du Soleil show to take advantage of their discounted deal. It was something like $10-$15 off all you can eat rodizio for each person; which is a good deal. But, from generally dining at the Pampas in Palo Alto, it just didn't do it for me. The seafood is brought out to you on a plate vs. it coming on a stick. The sides were okay. This place may of been a better experience if I came here drunk with a bunch of party friends vs. dinner with the SO.

A:
I was torn between rating this 3 or 4 stars, but what pushed it to 4 for me was the fact that they gave me a carnation for Valentine's Day!!! My boyfriend and I decided to try out Miller's after seeing all the ads for their specials around Town Square. We ended up going on Valentine's Day, and they had a special menu, but we didn't try anything off of it. I read about their famous "Zingers" here on Yelp so we ordered some hot Zingers and a dozen oysters to start. The Zingers were really great and went well with the beer -would definitely recommend! The oysters were pretty much what you can expect from a "bar-food" type place like this. They were $14 for a dozen, and I don't think I would order them again. I can get a dozen for around the same price fresh at Whole Foods down the street and they taste much better. My boyfriend ordered a few beers with the meal. It looks like they had a full bar, and the selection on the menu was decent. For entrees, I ordered the 35 Shrimp Scampi and he ordered the Chicken Caesar. Both were very good - and I think my pasta actually had 35 shrimp in it! I thought that was just the name. The portion sizes are huge: I ate about half of mine and I still had enough pasta left for a meal, and the salad was very large as well. I only took a few bites of the salad but each bite had a good amount of dressing, unlike those salads where the dressing is skimp. Neither of us finished our food and we were too full for dessert. The bill came out to be about $70, but that is only because of the beers - without them I think it would have been around $50. I would probably go back to Miller's on those days when you are having that "What do you want to eat?.. I don't know... What do you want to eat?" conversation. Its a pretty chill place with decent service, food, and atmosphere.
