    This was a wonderful restaurant. We had a small five month old dog and it was cold out. They were kind and brought a bed for him. The food was wonderful. It was our anniversary and several special touches made it a great experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and the staff.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Dry Creek Kitchen. The menu included three excellent courses for $55 on the Thursday Sonoma Neighbor special. Our choices included a salad which featured local lettuces in a tart blue cheese infused dressing, octopus grilled with marble potatoes, chicken Milanese with lemon, capers, and butter sauce, broccolini, and a lovely risotto cake. Our desserts were a Meyer lemon cheesecake and a layered carrot cake with a light mousse. Service was attentive but not intrusive and we experienced another excellent meal at our favorite restaurant. This restaurant offers exemplary food and service and, on top of all that, Charlie Palmer offers free corkage if you bring a bottle of Sonoma County wine. What a gem of a place.

    From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced. The ambiance struck a beautiful balance between cozy and upscale, making it ideal for both special occasions and relaxed evenings. Chef Shane truly outdid himself with a delicious three-course menu that was both creative and comforting. Each dish was a standout, with flavors that were perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. It’s clear a lot of thought and passion goes into every plate. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!

    Dry Creek is fine dining. Really the best experience for the money in Healdsburg. We are locals and time our visits with the change in seasons so that we get to try new seasonal menu items. Last night we enjoyed some amazing Burrata Toast, Kiwi & Stracciatella salad that was so fresh, it seemed like someone just brought the greens straight from the garden . My wife had the Prosciutto Wrapped Delta Asparagus, which she loved. She had the Ora King Salmon and couldn't stop raving about it and I had the Prime Filet that comes with swiss chard & broccolini gratin duck fat fingerling potato, oxtail bordelaise. WOW. Desserts were a Strawberry Rhubarb crumble thingy and a Carrot Cheesecake, both delicious and just the right portion to enjoy but not be overwhelmed at the end of the meal. The service is professional, friendly and attentive. The food comes out perfectly timed so you're not left waiting for the next course.
