    The three course tasting menu is a good way to sample the amazing food at Dry Creek. The shrimp buns were excellent for an additional $11. The fillet was perfection with the most delicious oxtail sauce. My husband had the salmon which was perfectly cooked with a wonderful purée. We look forward to dining at Dry Creek whenever we are in town!

    Service was mixed. We arrived on time and were seated and given menu’s, then the waiter disappeared for 17 minutes before returning and explaining the menu. Once the food was ordered, all went well. The appetizers were delicious, as was the first course. We both ordered duck and followed their cooking suggestions, but whene we were served, it consisted of two thick slabs of meat that was difficult to cut and tasted very aged (old). We should have sent it back, but as we both ordered it, we decided to simply buck up. The real crime here is their BTG program. The whites were served properly, but the reds, and some of them were very expensive, were simply displayed on a table and arrived 15 degrees too warm. Desert was delicious, but it took close to 20 minutes for the check to arrive after we declined coffee. There is work to be done.(

    One of the best restaurant experiences that my husband and I have enjoyed in ages. The menu choices were varied and creative. Interesting. The service, impeccable. The outdoor patio was lovely - tables were placed far enough apart to make conversing with your dinner companion pleasant. No need to yell to be heard. Not cheap, but worth it for that special night. Highly recommended

    Service was incredible. Professional , friendly and efficient. Loved seeing many younger aged team members that were trained so well and it showed that they took pride in their work. Ambience was top notch. Everyone was enjoying being at the restaurant. Overall food was great as usual. Will be back on our annual visit to Dry Creek Passport weekend. . BTW stop at Mauritson Wine during passport weekend was also top notch.

    Service was excellent with a very attentive wait staff. The fish entrees (halibut and salmon) were very good, especially the perfectly cooked artichokes and sauce for the halibut dish. The pork shoulder was fine - nothing special. The desserts were ran from over-the-top delicious (the chocolate mousse cake) to the ho-hum sorbets. The only less-than excellent part of the meal was the gem salad - no knife was provided. And a vinaigrette was requested in place of the green goddess dressing, but they had no alternative dressing, so they brought olive oil and vinegar, which was fine, but proved to be messy.
