    My husband and I enjoyed our dinner date at Dry Creek Grill. We got seated right away at our reservation time. We were given water and bread right away but we didn’t have a server and no one came to check on us for awhile. I’m assuming a woman who was the manager eventually came by to ask if anyone had helped us to which we said no. She ended up taking our drink and appetizer order, and she explained there was some confusion about who was waiting our table. Not sure if it ever got figured out but someone did come to take our order. Food was delicious as always. Service could have improved. Won’t stop me from coming back though.

    Pros: good, drinks and service were great. Cons: high nose level inside and outside is very windy and cold inspired of heat lamps. Choose your poison...
