Dry Creek Kitchen - Californian restaurant in Healdsburg - 317 Healdsburg Ave, USA

It was a truly exceptional experience – from the impeccably prepared dishes to the excellent wine recommendations. The attentive and knowledgeable service, including check-ins from both the manager and sommelier, truly made us feel like VIPs. This restaurant provided the ideal atmosphere to embrace the holiday season.

We live in Healdsburg and have dined at Dry Creek Kitchen many times over the last 20 years but our experience last week was the best to date. The food has always been solid but sometimes, in the past, the service didn’t keep up with the food. That is no longer true. The staff is now both more professional and more relaxed. The experience is better and more fun. It’s still a fine dining experience but it isn’t taking itself too seriously. GM Dan Prentice has really elevated the team at DCK and has made it, once again, a “go to spot” in Healdsburg!

Dry Creek is an awesome spot for a fancy dinner in Healdsburg. The menu changes with the seasons, the food is delicious and on the cleaner/ healthier side compared to other multiple course options out there (the oyster was a favorite). We had one not-so-great experience there which was noted and quickly fixed by their manager showing customer empathy and their true wish to provide a great experience. Highly recommend!

Great fine dining spot in the heart of Healdsburg. The service is very good and the food doesn’t disappoint; there’s also a nice bar for those dining solo or those who prefer the bar. The menu is somewhat limited but there is something for everyone. We enjoyed our appetizers, entrees and desserts. We celebrated my birthday here and we’re very pleased with the experience. Availability may be hard to come by on the weekends so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time.

Delicious meal and service. The ambiance is amazing and the service is top tier. It truly is an experience. Our family of five got almost all of the options on the menu, all of the dishes were spectacular. If i could give it more than 5 stars I would.

What an absolute gem in Sonoma! We enjoyed everything about our meal tonight - the service, the food preparation, the atmosphere. We’re celebrating our anniversary this week and this was definitely a highlight! Quick tip - do not miss the peanut butter dessert. You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you to the entire staff at Dry Creek Kitchen. You are fabulous!

Food was okay but hit or miss. The only thing we loved was the pork belly biscuits. We got the 3 course meal and the food took a while to come out. Everything was super salty (like rock salt). The focaccia bread was ehhh - they could have seasoned it with more herbs and/or cheese. The pan-fried duck breast was good but the duck confit was dry but pastry was okay. The strip loin was good but they put some green sauce on top that tasted fermented like marmite and I don't think it was supposed to be like that. The chocolate and grapefruit dessert was good but super bitter. You have to be in the mood for it. I was not a fan of the sour flavors in the cheesecake. The music was not great. The same songs were on repeat the whole time we were there. The service was kind of slow but giving leeway because we went two days before Christmas.

Had a wonderful 3 course meal with wine pairing. We chose the Tomahawk steak and it was cooked perfectly. Adam did a great job serving us. He and the crew were very attentive. The wine pairing hit the spot on each course.
