Went there to celebrate a friends birthday. Was very very unimpressed with the food. Will never go there again. Food was tasteless, service very slow. Go to chili’s, as it is better and much much cheaper.

The architecture is horrible - both inside and outside. It is the same Tuscan/Mexican/Mediterranean look that you see on a lot of new homes today. “If two inches of crown moulding is good, then four inches is twice as good.” How about some real design, people?

The food at Cullens was wonderful and the service was great. I enjoyed the live entertainment as well.

Good Job Mr.Munz

I agree with you wholly Nancy, relax, laugh, and enjoy each meal.

That formula works great at Perry’s where the portions are reasonable, and the atomosphere and service are great. If you savor each bite at Cullen’s you might plan on lots of conversation if you are going to be there for a while. The food and desert portions are small by any standards so eat very slow for sure.

Thank You “Roberto Otrebor”, I agree. A good 3+ course meal requires time for laughter and digestion between courses. Come on folks take time from the rat race and savour each bite. You may find it to be quite sensual.

I think they’ve worked out some of the kinks you guys have belly achin’ about cause I went Monday for lunch and I couldnt finish my caesar salad and sausage and potato pizza. It was delish.

But thats why I waited a while :P

Matt,

My comment in general was about the lack of reasonable food portion and the exorbitant pricing. We dine at Perry’s and Capital Grille frequently so my intent in going to Cullen’s was for a culinary delight, not buffet size portions or discount prices. We had no misunderstanding what was ahead. As I mentioned the atmosphere was fantastic it was just that the food portions were small and overpriced.
To add to my original comments I will note that my snapper actually besides being small was not that tasty.

I agree there is a crowd out there that feels Jackson Pollack painting are sheer genius. This same group are the ones programmed that if it’s priced high and the atmosphere is great, then the food is surely awesome.

My comments were an effort to help Mr. Munz tweak his offering so the product he is selling is the best (as he claims). This way the parking lot would have more cars in it (unlike it does now).

Well, I had the pleasure of going to Cullen’s this past weekend. It was very busy with prom parties and such, but that still did not take away from the great service. A friend of mine went there when they first opened the doors. She told me that the service wasn’t “upscale”. Three weeks later, the service has evidently come a long way. We had a wonderful waiter named Chelsea, who was very classy. The manager’s were even more wonderful. One of them (Chase, I think) was kind enough to treat us to a complimentary dessert just because we were not sure if we wanted it or not. He basically locked us in as regulars. Now, my wife and I USED to frequent Perry’s which, dont get me wrong, is a marvelous establishment. I feel that the culinary prowess at Cullen’s is a lot better. I’m guilty of being a foodie, so I guess I understand and enjoy food that was meant for more distinguished palates (Jeff). I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Roberto, I hope you are not a typical customer at this place. If you are then I’m sure I won’t like it.

We dined there this weekend (04/12/08). I thought the atmosphere was nice but the food was terribly over priced as stated above. I believe in “fine dining” and believe whole-heartedly that you pay for what you get. However, in this restaurant, I was terribly disappointed. My bf was trying to surprise me and take me to a nice place to celebrate my promotion at work. Although I loved the gesture, I was dumbfounded that the “$28.00 short ribs” entree consisted of a mini stapler sized piece of meat that was mostly fat and my bf’s “$6.00 potatoe” side dish, was that of the size of a potatoe that you get out of a whole bag of “$1.99″ potatoes. We were more than prepared to spend $200.00 when we arrived. Our bill was $160.00 and I was upset because of the service “taking forever” and the food wasn’t even mediocre (in my opinion). I’m pretty sure this is the last time we’ll dine there, but If you’d like to waste a nice amount of money and well, should I say, really don’t have an appetite…..this is your place.

I’m afraid I have to agree with the negative critics here. We spent $200 and had to stop at the Sonic around the corner on the way home. While my husband’s filet was prepared correctly and was superb, my pork chop was mediocre and not anywhere in the ball park with the above mentioned “Perry’s” version. The triple Creme brulee dessert was interesting but not portioned for sharing. Overall, I’d have to say the dishes are overpriced for the portion size. Table service was great, but front desk personnel seemed a bit undertrained although extremely sweet. Lovely design though, can’t wait to see the club.
