If this country has a culinary cradle, it's in Northern Sonoma, where the fruits of local labor—from outstanding produce to handcrafted cheese—have never been on a plane. Drawing upon regional ingredients is a superior way to eat and one can taste the freshness in Dry Creek Kitchen specialties. You can also experience the regional abundance in the daily, tasting menu, featuring "Sonoma Neighbor" food and wine pairings.

Dry Creek Kitchen's wine cellar reflects the area's celebrated appellations, featuring more than 600 Sonoma wines with vintages ranging from 1985 to 2007 and a particular emphasis on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Meritage Blends.

Charlie Palmer's long standing commitment to wine manifests itself in his one-of-kind-collection drawing from the private libraries and cellars of the area's winemakers.

    Excellent dining experience and nice quiet ambience for a date night. Server went out of his way trying to accommodate me after they were out of the swordfish. The sous vide chicken roulade was absolutely they best chicken dish i have ever tried. Super tender and flavorful with a plate of spring vegetables. The local wine list paired nicely with the menu options.

    My wife and I had a lovely anniversary dinner, 20 years after our previous visit (when we were accompanied by our infant daughter). Then as now, we were very well looked after. The service was exceptional, as was the food, and the wine list! It was a wonderful experience on all fronts. We won’t wait another 20 years to return (though, to be fair, we do live in London)

    First time here after so many years of walking by and looking at the menu. Glad we tried it. The service was really good with our waiter and his sense of humor. There were lots is staff around and all helping each other some looked like high schoolers which was refreshing to see. So cute ! Food was great. We had the three course tasting menu and tried 6 different dishes and even brought some home to savor the day after. The entree portions are generous and we were both full. We liked the ambiance with the jazz playing in the background. This place is not pretentious and we were able to have done dining in a little over an hour- instead of two hours are the similar upscale places. We will be back!

    This is an annual habit - I've never been disappointed. The only constructive criticism I can offer would be to back off a little on the salt, particularly on the fish preparations. Service is always incredibly attentive without over-engaging. One of my all time favorite places to celebrate!

    After an issue with the hostess, the rest of our experience was wonderful. We were there with friends for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent. My husband said it was the best steak he ever had. The smoked pork chop was fabulous and they accommodated my dietary restrictions (not so every restaurant). My friends had swordfish and even took some home. Portions generous and tasty. Table service wonderful. Not intrusive but there when needed. We'll be back again. Recommend highly

    Well the food was very good and service was outstanding. However the noise level was like a rock concert. The louder the music became the noisier the restaurant became. I left the restaurant with my ears ringing. The loud music with people shouting over the music ruined what should have been a wonderful dinner

    My wife and I are celebrating 32 years of marriage and decided to head to Healdsburg which is known as a food destination. Since it is a three day weekend and we did not make advanced rezzos, we decided to take the luck of the draw. Dry Creek Kitchen had an opening and we decided to take it. Upon checking in, we were greeted with a congratulatory welcome for our anniversary which was a nice touch. The dining room had high ceilings which gave it an airy touch. The ambiance was cozy but noise level was a bit high but not intolerable. Our server, Courtney, immediately welcomed us with a glass of bubbly each as a celebratory gift from the house. She proceeded to explain about the two menus - a three course pre fixe and a five course tasting menu. We opted for the pre fixe because we thought the tasting menu would be too much food. Courtney knew her wine and made recommendations according to what we ordered which were spot on once we had the entrees. For apps, I had the seared Spanish octopus and my wife opted for the hamachi crudo. The octopus was tender and the crudo - oh so tasty! For entrees, I had the seared Liberty duck breast cooked medium rare with a glass of Vivier Sonoma Coast pinot and my wife had the swordfish saltimboca paired with the Gros Ventre Fiano. To end the meal, we opted for the chocolate and vanilla ice cream - a palate cleanser after the rich food we just partook. The meal cost about 2 Benjamins and change plus tip which I thought was reasonable. Highly recommended!

    On Valentine’s Day, our anniversary, we had their special 5- course dinner. Dry Creek Kitchen was our 2nd choice because Valette was full. So we went to Valette the day before which was quite ok. BUT Dry Creek was so much better in every way! The delicious food, the impeccable service, the decor, the ambiance exceeded expectations. No comparaison, in our book. And first rate too for a gluten-free like me. We just returned from 2 weeks in Paris were we dined in several Michelin restaurants and DCK is definitely at that level. We will come back to Healdsburg just for DCK!

    We were in town on vacation and got a reservation on OpenTable. We did the three course chefs menu with the wine pairings. The restaurant is beautiful. The service is absolutely outstanding and the food fantastic. If you can get a reservation at this place do so, it does not disappoint! The wine pairings were great while some were tastier than others, We enjoyed the experience. Our server Melanie was fantastic in her guidance and suggestions. She is also a great bartender & we had after dinner drinks. those were just as good. I cannot say enough about this restaurant. We will be back when we are in town again.

    Second time and not quite as good as the first. Hamachi and octopus were standouts. Duck was not hot when it got to the table. Pork was a little dry but still delicious. Service was excellent. Recommend getting a table at back of restaurant. Bar noise and kitchen traffic is heavy at the front of the room. Will go back!
