    I had a very good experience at this place. From the moment we arrived, everything was great. Our server, Britney, was absolutely wonderful she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Her service truly made our visit even better. We loved the appetizers, the food, and the dessert,everything was amazing. You can really tell how much care and quality go into each dish. Every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff was professional and welcoming. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    Can’t rave enough about my recent brunch at Culina! We went post-wedding dress shopping (mine!) and sat on the patio surrounded by a beautiful garden. Our server, Caroline, was warm, friendly and on top of her game! We really enjoyed having her as our server! The food did not disappoint! We were served quickly and everything was delicious! And I was really touched that a celebratory round of drinks (N/A as we had a minor in tow) and a divine chocolate dessert were presented by Caroline to mark the occasion! It was a truly special and memorable occasion and I can’t compliment Culina enough!

    Atmosphere, service, & food were amazing for a date night! The pasta might’ve been the best pasta I’ve had all year - just that the portions were a bit smaller than preferred. I also asked if they could do a surprise desert to congratulate my girlfriend and they followed through, so that was an amazing surprise for both of us!
