on Citysearch Jul 10, 2011After 15 minutes at the table, the waiter looked insulted when I asked for a menu. The waiter was snotty and pretentious, the food good and beautifully presented but expensive which would have been ok had the service... (more)

on Citysearch May 24, 2008We walked in on a long weekend. Since there was a wait of 10 mins, the Manager seated us in the lounge next door where we enjoyed a quiet 10 mins in front of the the fire place. The Manager went out of his way to make us... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 15, 2008I have been to the Dry Creek Kitchen on several occasions between 2005 and as recently as December 2007 at Christmas and after happening upon the poor reviews here - I felt I needed to put by two cents here. My main goal as... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2008Don?t believe the hype? Probably a good move if you?re planning on visiting Dry Creek Kitchen. True, Dry Creek does have an extraordinary menu with delicious food and even more scrumptious desserts. True, the wait... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 05, 2007Rude employees from beginning to end. The wait staff to manager treated us as if we didn't belong there. Very snotty employees. I have never been treated so demeaning at a restaurant. When we asked the manager if we... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 27, 2007Despite the other reviews., we had a perfectly great meal here. On a tasting menu as part of Hotel Package our expectations were not that high. Its a very pretty, very Sonoma looking place, Very Beige. Big Chairs. The... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2007I wish I read the reviews before making reservations. My family gathered recently for a birthday celebration. The service was so slow it became a point of amusement. The staff was snooty and treated us almost with... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 10, 2006Can't really figure out what this place is known for - the service was uneven, the food was ok but not amazing, and all the hype seems to fuel an attitude of "aren't you so lucky to be eating here." Just because something... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 06, 2005We went for lunch and what a disappointment. I had the Vegetable Market Composition. It appeared in a trio which I suppose makes it a composition. Perhaps trio has been claimed by other chefs and Charlie Palmer... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 10, 2005Absolutuely the worst dining experience I can remember in a long time!!! The staff is rude, the bartender was a jerk, and the service non-existent. I dine out frequently and have never been treated so poorly in any... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 05, 2005Every dish was easily the most flavorful concoction I've had in quite some time... They incorporate mostly every day items--at least, for NorCal--and make them sublime, in texture and flavor. My foie gras with... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 31, 2005Our first visit to Healdsburg was highlighted by our dinner at the Dry Creek Kitchen. The dining room had a comfortable relaxed, but elegant quality. The staff was attentive without be obvious. The food was... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2005I first dined here 6 months after they opened. Back then the food was not memorable at all and the service was too young, inexperienced and sloppy at best. Well now (jan 05, 3 years later) the service has not improved... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2004I have dined at Dry Creek Kitchen twice in the past and enjoyed it very much. On a recent day-trip we called the restaurant but were told they were fully booked. However, they advised that they have walk-in seating on... (more)

on Citysearch May 04, 2004Staff was courteous enough, but it was a 2.5 hours dinner (and not the "good kind" of 2.5 dinner, i.e. for a long, nice tasting menu). After sitting down and not seeing a waiter for 10mins, he finally took our drink... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2004Charlie Palmers Dry Creek Kitchen is renowned as it should be due to its impeccable food and service! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines on the wine list that goes forever! All the food was amazing as we... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 23, 2004The Dry Creek Kitchen was far from overcrowded over Barrel Tasting Weekend. After the meal, we understood why. The restaurant fell dramatically short of expectations. Their Fois Gras starter ($19) was served... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 21, 2004I ate at Dry Creek Kitchen a few months ago. While the food was average (though a disappointment for the cost) the service was truly terrible. Rude, indifferent hostesses and a sarcastic dining room manager presided... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2003Good service (actually almost over the top) and nice ambiance. Food was extremely disappointing to say the least. Way overpriced and bland. Good thing we had a gift cetificate and did not have to pay for much. Would... (more)
