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.

We had the five course tasting menu, paired with wines. Each course was itself unique and delicious and the menu progressed with increasingly flavorful intensity, reaching a crescendo with the NY strip steak with bordelaise sauce and pave potatoes. The desserts and additional sweets were elegant and tasty finishes to a memorable meal. This was a special birthday dinner and the staff recognized my birthday and their sincere attention enhanced our experience. Maître chef Charlie Palmer was « in the house » and he stopped by our table for a brief chat.

We had the 5 course menu. The crudo was fresh but lacked flavor. The pheasant tortellini was very good. The steak was slightly tough and chewy. I got a cheese plate instead of desert. The 3 selections were very average. A nice overall experience however

A birthday celebration to remember! Greeted at the door by Dan Prentice, General Manager, and staff. Table was lovely and staff perfectly attentive. Drinks were inventive and tasty, food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The 3 course menu (we added the steak option) was outstanding! Thank you to all the incredible staff and especially to Mr. Prentice for his kindness. We will be back!!!

The tech music did not fit the occasion. Christmas Eve and loud tech music. The dining room manager spent most of his time with two tables. Did not speak to us until we were heading to the door. The waiter was great. It was just not the elegant experience I was looking for.

I'd been here before and enjoyed it. That's why I booked this restaurant for my birthday. They were understaffed. They promised focaccia but it did come until we until we asked for it at least 5 times. Our waiter was also tending bar. You can imagine how little attention we got. The salmon was almost raw. Portions not large. I was disappointed. I didn't want to make a fuss and ruin more of my birthday by calling this to management's attention. That shouldn't be part of the dining experience. Dinner for four. Only one glass of wine ordered for one person. Almost $500.00 with tip. We're not planning to return any time soon.

In a region with so many globally recognized dining experiences, DCK is a solid choice. So many great things, but notables are: wine list, current offerings, and service. The wine list is noteworthy because the wines are predominantly sourced from Sonoma County (I’ve recently noticed some of the best of neighboring counties making their way to the list), so if you want a uniquely authentic Sonoma Wine Country dining experience, this is the place. Chef Wyatt is crushing it in the kitchen with thoughtful interpretation of local ingredients, and the service is impeccable. I’m always excited when it’s time to dine here.

This was our second time there and it was a repeat of the excellence of the first. There is nothing amiss about this dining experience: the space is gracious and lovely, the service is impeccable (in fact, it is like art--choreographed and graceful--and never intrusive); the food sublime, in both taste and presentation; and the wine pairing is alchemy , finding the perfect synchronicity between food and wine. We will be back...again and again...
