First visit … all food, service excellent. Bbq exceeded expectations, & other selections all keepers! Interior lighting a bit dark yet not a deterrent. Will return soon for other offerings.

My mom and I come here a couple of times a year. We had rib eyes. The food was very tasty although the rib eye was a little tough. All in all delicious and we’ll be back again. We love our blood orange cosmos btw.

Great selection of uniquely made menu items. The steaks were perfect. Next time we plan to bring guests and try out the BBQ menu. Bartender turned into server and Jason was great. Very attentive and ever so polite.

Food is always consistently good. Wait staff attentive but not overly so. Noise level on a weekend is a little too loud but not unbearable, weekdays much quieter. Local gem.

We had the last reservation of the night so there were things that weren’t available and our waiter unfortunately didn’t give us his best effort because I’m sure he wanted to go home. For example we were told there wasn’t any bread left, but there was bread left that we were served. Then he said there wasn’t any dessert but there was dessert that we were served. Another guy graciously took care of us which proved our waiter didn’t care and told us things that were untrue just so he could leave early. Even though our experience wasn’t the best with our waiter the other staff around him more than compensated for our experience.

I was celebrating my upcoming retirement and had friends from all over joining me. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed appetizers, mains and desserts. I was one of the highlights of the weekend.

We had a fantastic evening in the restaurant and the food was impeccable. The Ambiance, the staff the food, will keep us coming back for all of our future family events. Thank you Dry Creek Grill!

We usually visit this place at least once a month but this was our first visit this year due to traveling. A lot has changed with personnel and the food. The staff was not as attentive and the quality of the food has gone down and may be due to some changes. The crab cakes were dry and we did not not finish them. The salad was somewhat stale and the salmon was dry and salty. When asked about the food, we were honest and expressed our concerns as noted here and were barely given an obligatory “ sorry to hear about that”. Not sure if it was an off night, but we will give it another try to see if things improve enough to be our regular spot again.
