Went to the Dry Creek Kitchen over 4th of July weekend. Made reservations easily enough the day before for an earlier dinner. The location is excellent and the surroundings are wonderful. Too bad that is where the good experience ends. Don't go to this place if you need to change anything on the menu, especially if you can't have dairy.... more

We were very excited to go to the Dry Creek Kitchen since we have gone to Charlie Palmer's Aureole in Las Vegas many times and have always had a great time. By comparison, DCK unfortunately pales... We did the chef's tasting menu as we normally would at Aurole. It was a bit "light" and I regretted bringing so many red... more

I can't believe anyone has had a bad experience at this restuarant. My husband & I traveled to SOnoma to celebrate our 20th anniversary and we decided this would be our celebration dinner location. The service was impecable and the food was extraordinarily good and well presented! Although it is VERY expensive, I felt it was really worth every penny!... more

This restaurant was one of my favorites on my last visit to wine country. The attentiveness from the staff was just right. The food was amazing. We started off with the foie gras appetizer and it was super fantastic. For dinner we choose the Five course with wine pairing. Each course was great, the only thing that was so-so was... more

Walking through downtown Healdsburg last week, we saw Dry Creek Kitchen and knew the outdoor setting was perfect for a romantic dinner...the evening was just warm enough. The service was flawless, attentive but not rushed, and the waitress was all smiles. I had the 3-course special: soup, roast chicken and creme brulee. I chose to pair it with 2 wines... more

We visited Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdsburg for Dinner. We have eaten at this restaurant before, however, we were disappointed this time around on how the food quality has gone down, especially for the prices you are paying. The service was great. We brought our own bottle of wine and they gladly decanted it for us. I ordered the Duck,... more

I just wanted to congratulate on the turnaround with Dry Creek Kitchen. I have to say that the service was exceptional - attentive, personable, kind and detail oriented with a relaxed and confident aura. The timing of ordering, presenting the food and wine was smooth, but not rushed and individualized to my speed. The food was creative in combinations and... more

Had dinner at Healdsburg Dry Creek Kitchen on a Thursday evening, the start of an anniversary weekend getaway. Had read several reviews and more recent ones indicated that service had "improved". Um, no. We were seated promptly upon arrival, then promptly ignored for almost 20 minutes. I should have left at this point, but finally got to place an order... more

We were warned that it was a bit overpriced and trendy, but that was not our experieince. It is a Charlie Palmer restaurant, so you expect a high level of dining and they did not disappoint. The restaurant has an understated elegance with all the wine country themes you would expect, but they were still well executed. The vaulted ceilings... more

Excellent!

We had lunch at the Dry Creek Kitchen recently with our 19 month old son. The restaurant was not crowded, thus, that was one the reasons we decided to lunch there. Our waiter went out of his way to accomodate our son. He checked with the chef and made him a delicious jamsin fried rice with steamed vegetables, it was... more
