    We had our neighbors holiday dinner last night. We did the family style menu. Price and quantity were amazing. We ordered the beef medallions as one of our entrees and it wasn’t good. Everything was delicious.

    The food was outstanding! We also had a problem with seating as we were a party of 4 but the reservation said party of 2. The manager was brought over and was able to find us a very nice and cozy spot! Our waitress was a sweetheart. We had the best experience at Dry Creek Grill!

    Booked our work lunch - the atmosphere was so cozy and decorated for the holidays. We were greeted by our server, Ben who was kind and attentive. We started with the Spinach Dip - Soooo good. The bread was freshly baked to order, the dip was complimented by the whole table. Since we came for lunch, we all decided to order the lunch special. So much food! The salads were fresh, crisp, and cold. I had a pasta while my coworkers ordered mini pizzas. Even though the entrees were lunch sized, we all were stuffed. We had refills upon request, and my coworker loved the Iced Tea. Next time we schedule a work lunch, Willow Street will be in the rotation.
