We came up from San Francisco to celebrate my mom's birthday at Dry Creek Kitchen- and couldn't have been happier with our experience! We did the three course tasting menu after a day of wine tasting, and it was perfection- right amount of absolutely remarkable food with so many fun options. Don't skip the Local Halibut Tiradito (seriously) or the Wild Mushroom Escabeche (YUM) other favorites: the ribeye steak, Street Corn Agnolotti, and the shrimp dumplings. Our server was wonderful, as was the chef (AMAZING!) and the rest of the staff. They treated us like royalty (and we are not), and made our experience so special. We can't wait to go back, and although we went for a special occasion, we'd definitely go back for a more relaxed event or meal, as we loved the atmosphere for any event. Huge THANK YOU to the amazing staff- can't wait to come back!!

This is truly a fine dining experience. The waiters are attentive. The food is delicious and BEAUTIFUL, the wine is...well, come on, it's Healdsburg!...perfect. This was my 3rd time and they never disappoint. I can't wait to go back!

Once again, Thursday Night Neighbors menu drew us into DCK . Crisp white linens, sparkling glasses and fresh flowers. We now have our favorite table and server. While the food was superb, a shoutout to Isabella, Chris, and Ben is well deserved. They made it the delightful evening that it was. Surprise! Instead of the Neighbor' menu we opted for the August tasting menu. A multi-course meal with surprising and creative tastes. Worth every penny....

Dining Delight at Dry Creek Kitchen I had the pleasure of dining at the charming Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdsburg. Despite being a solo diner, I was warmly welcomed into the elegant yet cozy atmosphere--the perfect setting for savoring a memorable meal. I decided to indulge in the seven-course tasting menu, and it certainly did not disappoint. My culinary adventure began with an amuse bouche, truffle egg, on to the first dish, lightly torched Akamatsu, accompanied by Ponzu radish and sea bean. This delicate dish set the stage for the array of flavors to come. The next course, a Dayboat scallop with parsnip, Preston farm strawberry, and vanilla bean vierge, harmoniously combined the sweetness of the strawberry with the subtlety of vanilla, complementing the succulent scallop perfectly. The standout dish for me was the morel mushroom with black garlic and Parmigiano Reggiano. Though I am not typically fond of morels, this expertly crafted dish was a revelation. The earthy mushroom flavor was elevated by the robust notes of black garlic, resulting in a delectable combination of textures and tastes. Next, I was presented with a liberty duck breast, adorned with cherry and pork. Despite not being an avid fan of duck, this dish was executed flawlessly, as the rich duck flavors married beautifully with the fruity and savory accompaniments. The fifth course featured painter hill bacon with Sun choke Mira Shishido Pepper, a delightful fusion of flavors that left me craving more. To conclude my meal, I indulged in the homemade ice cream and sorbet. I opted for the vanilla and blackberry, though there was also an option for chocolate and kiwi. This sweet treat was the ideal finale to an unforgettable dining experience. Throughout my time at Dry Creek Kitchen, the service was impeccable. The attentive and knowledgeable staff made me feel right at home, ensuring that every aspect of my meal was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience in Healdsburg, whether you're flying solo or with company. It's no wonder chef Charlie Palmer has earned such acclaim in the culinary world--I, for one, am eager to explore more of his restaurants and discover the innovative dishes they have to offer. If this place wasn't recommended by a trusted source, I would not have made it since the restaurant had average 3.5 stars and no Michelin star, which doesn't pass my usual bar, so this was definitely a fun surprise :) Courtney was truly amazing. Lovely, knowledgeable and very accommodating! Thank you team dry creek!

This is our second time trying this restaurant, the first time was about 13 years ago. We still had a great experience, good food, and left very happy. We tried one of the tasting menus and it was perfect. We will definitely continue to come here when we're in the area and would recommend to anyone

One of my friends saw an article on the best restaurants in Healdsburg and five of us collectively agreed to Dry Creek Kitchen. Great choice as it is excellent all around! Dry Creek hit all my 5 stars requirements. Walk through the high double door entrance and upscale, contemporary yet very California wine country ambiance abounds. Even the rest rooms were beautiful. The $75 prix fixe menu has enough variety at every course to satisfy each of our preferences. For Canapés, the Miyagi oysters pulled from nearby Tomales Bay were so fresh and lush! I favor west coast over east coast, and they were exquisite. You only get 2 but I could've eaten a dozen or more. My first course was a refreshing Kampachi Crudo, but I wished I had picked what others tried: Brokaw Grilled Avocado was phenomenal and bursting with flavors...smoked trout roe, pickled onion, marinated beet crème fraiche, and everything spice quinoa crunch. Perfection! My main course Liberty Duck Breast was awesome, perfectly cooked and beautifully rendered. Seared Day Scallops were tasty, and the Flannery Beef 28-day Rib Eye was mouth-watering delicious. Our cocktails and obviously the wine selection were amazing, and we finished our dessert with a round of espresso martinis. Dry Creek Kitchen was a perfect end to a fun but long tasting day in spectacular cloudless wine country. Luckily we had a Uber to take us back to our hotel!

Solid choice; fantastic service, delicious food. This is one of the long standing restaurants since this building was added to the area and for good reason, it's a tried and true. The service matches the delicious menu and fantastic cocktail and wine program. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. I don't give 5 stars often but this hits the spot.
