Given my experience with Fox restaurants I didn't originally have high expectations. In their defense, I think they have some pretty good places that do a good job at being what they try to be (e.g. Blanco, Greene House, Modern Burger) but they are generally priced 1-2 levels above where they need to be to be considered great.
Culinary Dropout is by no means inexpensive - lunch is $15-20 per person - but I think it's well worth it. Nice atmosphere, good service and very good food. Both times I've gone with the same two coworkers so we've covered 5-6 different dishes and we've been impressed across the board.
The first time I had the ricotta gnocchi with sausage and mushrooms, and I was very pleased with it. My coworkers ordered a shrimp po'boy and a turkey pastrami sandwich on a pretzel bun. I tasted both of their dishes and liked them both - the po'boy used a very good spicy sauce and the pretzel bun was outstanding.
Grilled Cheese Sliders and Creamy Tomato Soup
On our second visit I ordered Yesterday's Soup ("It's better the day after") - a creamy tomato soup with parmesan cheese shavings - and the grilled cheese sliders with tomato and bacon. (I needed something easy to chew after a wonderful morning of dental work.) The soup was somewhat ordinary by itself, but it was a great complement to the sliders. I originally ordered the French Onion Soup, but our waitressed suggested that this soup would be a better match and she was absolutely right. Nice to see staff with an understanding of the food and the menu. Also, their fries are very good - crispy in the style that I like and generously sprinkled with a nice sea salt. One of my coworkers also ordered the sliders and the other got the Pub Burger, and they were both happy - we will certainly return again.
