Really good food and excellent service. It was busy but in a comfortable way. I got the salmon and it was prepared perfectly. I snagged some of my husband's Aviator pizza (pepperoni, sausage, bacon and cheese) and was blown away by how good it was. The wine menu is small but contains some really great wines to go with dinner. The menu is unique, the people are fantastic. You can't go wrong with Doughbird. Thank you Brooke (waiter), Marlene (the manager),and Melanie (the hostess). I hope the owner knows how lucky he is to have these people running this place.

This was our second meal at T&P. The food, again, was exquisite. Everything about the meal was done superbly…. The atmosphere is convivial and has a nice hum of conversation without being overwhelmingly noisy. The space is kind of Goldilocks perfect in size - just right. We have really enjoyed our wine selections when ordering a bottle. Interesting, unexpected and surprisingly good. Ordering by the glass has a very limited offering. We did have a tiny hitch in the long wait for our entree after our appetizer. There were two large tables of diners and perhaps that was taxing for the kitchen. Right now this our absolute favorite Tucson restaurant and we plan to be back many more times.

Restaurant was cold. We did not take off our jackets.

Culinary Dropout is a fun place with great food and service.
