Dry Creek Grill

Beautiful space. Enjoyed the rack of lamb and the scallop starter. My friend ordered the bisque which was flavorful but was missing the lobster essence. Drinks are good, but a bit pricey. Service was attentive. They need to get rid of the barbecue smell.

I made reservations and arrived 10min early my date and I where seated immediately, very happy about that. The waitress (Mimicha) and bus boy where immediate and very courteous, professional and knowledgeable making great recommendations and obviously proud of where they work. The food was 5star quality and didn’t take to long to come out. The restaurant had great ambiance, not to loud but people where laughing and having a great time everywhere, great energy from everyone! Highly recommended!

Delicious! The steaks are fantastic but they have other menu items like the burger and the pork chop that are delicious as well. Service has always been attentive and courteous. I like that their drink program is evolving — they have some pretty solid cocktails.

Food…5 stars
Service…3 stars
The food is amazing. I had the filet with risotto and my friends had the scallops with risotto and a burger with fries. They loved their dishes too. We started off with the cornbread (A MUST) and the crab cakes.
I wish the service was a little bit better, especially for the prices we are paying. We had a reservation and had to wait 25 mins before being seated. I understand, maybe, 10 minutes, but 25 was a bit much.
Our server was just ok, not overly friendly and was slow with taking our order.

I was so excited to try this place as many friends have raved about it. I made a reservation through Open Table early in the week since we were going on a Saturday night. The restaurant called to confirm my reservation earlier in the day and that is when I started to question my restaurant choice. The hostess that called was rude and cold. I received the same attitude when I checked in that night. Our server was nice when we sat down but barely came back to check on us the entire time. The food was decent, but overpriced. If you are looking for sub par service and just decent food, this is your place. I will be going elsewhere next time.

I so want to give this place more stars. Why did they pick BBQ as their menu theme? I usually leave smelling like BBQ from the smoke. The place is beautiful — the bar is so inviting. But BBQ? The drinks are pretty expensive and just ok, they have a tiny bar food menu with nothing you want to pair with. They serve the whole menu at the bar but honestly the burger or the French dip is all you want to order. Everything else is mediocre. They could so much more with their menu.

Came here tonight to celebrate a belated anniversary with my child bride!
Actually saw this place hiding in the corner of a strip mall about 2 miles from my house. It had flames outside with people sitting around them to explore.
The place was full and no reservation so no table to be had! We waited and got seats at the giant bar with views of the football playoffs and basketball games. Soothing lighting and a reserve counter seating behind us it was cozy! The New York steak I had was not cheap but it was cooked perfectly the way I wanted it. The salad was fresh but no big deal yet the overall experience is choice! I loved it. Lot’s of interesting people to watch and a class of old school dignified atmosphere that was really pleasing. The bar tender female was really great and the overall service was good considering how incredibly crowded it was. We will return! :). I needed more money to try some of the appetizers next time!

Went there last night got there close to 5pm opening time. Sat at the bar, service was slow, could not tell who to ask for food/​drinks. When I asked 1 of the 3 guys that served us he answered «we’re a team». Well for a team of people supporting our dinner at the bar the service sucked! Place is expensive and if you pay for service than provide it!
Cole slaw & mac & cheese were not good at all. The pork chop was very good.
My take is that you pay for the meat but don’t expect to get service. I would not recommend this place there are far better places that you can go to get both great food & service.

My boyfriend and I go here a lot. Service is usually on point, there’s only been one time where the service wasn’t as good as it usually is. Not sure if it was because we had a bigger party this time around.
The food is delicious. I recommend skirt steak, that is my favorite. I usually ask for mashed potatoes instead of new potatoes. The meatloaf is pretty tasty too, it’s wrapped in bacon! There’s a strong BBQ taste to it, so if you don’t like BBQ sauce then the meatloaf isn’t for you.
For dessert I always get the Boston Cream Cake, it’s honestly heaven in your mouth. No joke.

Braised short rib was awesome! Great service and it was NYE. Great micro brew selection as well.

Things seemed to be going really well for me until I started asking for stuff. I asked for more white bread… and the dude never came by ever again. Granted, it wasn’t my main server. The food came right around then so I disregarded.
Halfway through my medium well ribeye (mine was cooked very nicely, my friend’s cooked through a bit more but I told her not to complain.), I remembered to ask for some fresh horseradish. I love me some fresh horseradish. The waiter looked me in the eye and told me he will have someone bring it over. I don’t know how long I waited, but my steak got cold waiting for this mystery person. I’d estimate about 10 minutes and then I was getting angry. Of course, the moment I pull someone aside and ask them what the heck was going on, my waiter shows up. With creamy horseradish. He said they don’t have fresh horseradish.
Now I don’t know what the heck just went on, but first of all, he tricked me into looking at every single person walking by with my possible horseradish. He didn’t bring me fresh horseradish. He didn’t even explain if they didn’t carry it or ran out, but he said, «That’s all we got». My steak turned cold waiting for him.
I would stay either stay away from this place, don’t ask for anything, or bring your own horseradish.

This place would have gotten 5 stars if the waiters and hostess wouldn’t have been breathing down our necks to get us out of our table. They kept coming to our table saying there was a party waiting for us to leave to be seated. Made us feel uncomfortable and having us rush
Other than that food was great. Wine was amazing
With great people what else can go wrong
Besides there staff. I think they should be better with letting people be when they eat

Waited an hour for a table on a Friday night dinner time around 8. Food was decent. The ribeye was flavored well but it wasn’t as tender as I liked. Some of the BBQ ribs were tender but some were tough. There’s a bit too much BBQ sauce. The coleslaw, corn bread, and chili beans that came with it was delicious. Service was good. Waitress kept trying to get us to get the seafood platter though. Food is kind of expensive. Bill was $ 100 with tip. I also had a glass of red wine that was ok.

Came here the night before Thanksgiving & sat at the bar. They have wine on tap, I got the Martin Ray Cab — delicious & only $ 9/​glass. My boyfriend and I split the Brisket & it was HUGE and amazing — 4 large pieces of meat split onto 2 plates, and they gave us each our own cornbread (delicious), baked beans, & coleslaw. The brisket was pretty pricey (~ $ 25 – 30; I forget) but not too bad for 2 people. Would definitely come back next time we’re in town.

This was my third or fourth visit to the restaurant and I was a bit disappointed this time around. I was able to get an early reservation through OpenTable for my party of 5 people so that worked out great. We had a nice table on the side of the restaurant. Our waiter was at first attentive but throughout the meal, he would disappear for long stretches of time. I think he was the wine guy too so he appeared to have too many jobs to handle. We had to wait for a long time to get the bill then pay it.
For my entrée, I had the pulled pork dinner. I will say the baked beans, cole slaw and cornbread were delicious but the pork was dry and tasteless. I did ask for it with no sauce but the pork should have been flavorful on its own. It definitely was not.
My companions had the salmon, roast chicken, and one of the burgers. The restaurant was nice to split the roast chicken and sides between two plates as two people were sharing that entrée.
They do have a nice wine selection and one of my companions got to taste a wine before ordering it. That is a nice touch.
So overall this visit was just okay. I do enjoy the food normally and the service so I will probably be back.

It’s hard to find an upscale restaurant in this area that’s not corporate like Parcel 104 or Piatti, etc… Dry Creek Grill has the right ambience, menu, service, lighting, and music. It can get a bit loud during peak times so if you’re trying to have an intimate quiet date or business meeting, this isn’t that, when its noisy. That is seriously the only complaint I have, as the rest of it is absolutely A+, from the inventive cocktail menu to the breads with butter and artisan salt, to the scallops, steaks, sides… The heirloom tomato salad was out of this world! Thanks for a wonderful meal!

My husband took me here for my birthday celebration, and it really was a treat.
When you drive up to the restaurant, you are really unsure of what you are going to get. Its in a beat up strip mall. Once you step inside, it is like walking into another world, a little dark and modern, with a really big bar.
The seating in here is wonky. At first, they sat us in these really large leopard print chairs near the bar. And i mean, they are near the bar. Like, I could smell the guy next to me actually sitting at the bar. If he would have backed up, he would have been in my lap. We moved immediately so we could actually breathe and not feel like someone could hear every bit of our conversation.
We were moved to booth seating along the wall, where there were these really big screen TVs. They make no sense with the steakhouse atmosphere in here. It just felt weird.
Besides the really random layout and design, the food and service was outstanding. The person next to us was pissed because they cleared his salad plate, took all the silverware, and then did not bring him a new set, but we had no issues.
My husband had the scallops, and I had the BBQ meal. I was not totally blown away with the scallops, but my husband absolutely loved them (I am picky about scallops, btw). I thought the BBQ was outstanding.
We will be back here again, repeatedly, as the food is really great.

5 STARS FOR EVERYONE!
My girlfriend and I live nearby and decided to try this place for the first time this past weekend.
She made a reservation online and put «Anniversary» on the Reason field.
After walking in, the Host immediately greeted us with a «Hi, welcome and happy anniversary. Right this way please.» It was nice to be greeted with a «…happy anniversary»! He not only read the form but also acknowledged it.
The Manager (Manny) brought us a couple glasses of complimentary champagne. Niiiiice touch.
For starters, we asked for the salmon tartare. I ordered the beef brisket and my girlfriend ordered the mushroom pasta and she asked the kitchen to add chicken.
All 3 were amazing.
The beef brisket was so good. I was not expecting it to be THAT good. The barbecue slabbed on was awesome. It’s fairly sweet which is how I like it. Plus, the portion was pretty fatty. Loved the taste of the fattier cut. I think they put sugar on the beans? Perfect. Cole slaw was fresh and crisp also.
My girlfriend’s pasta was super buttery and tasty. Really good.
Our server Ashley was very attentive and helpful. And sincere with wanting to give us a great experience.
Since it was our anniversary, the place provided a complimentary dessert option. We chose the fudge cake. So creamy and chocolate-​y. Highly recommend it if you’re a chocolate lover.
I highly recommend this place. I would be more excited to go back here than say Willard Hicks.
The food is probably not prepared in the healthiest way (drenched in butter, basted with sugar) and very fatty, but heck, it tastes unbelievable and for our anniversary, it was perfect.
Love the lighting onto the table also.
Thank you to the Host, Manny and Ashley and the whole team in the kitchen and bar for making our night special.

Came here for a nice evening out, this review is only for the winter pre-​fix menu I believe it was Xmas dinner. This restaurant can be great, that being said. I was very happy with the rack of lamb and the scallop appetizer, the dish I did not like was the lobster bisque. The bisque had a seafood flavor, but lacked the creaminess of a bisque and depth of the lobster essence. The ambiance is nice when you look at the restaurant as a whole, but my particular seat had a light that was right above my head that would ricochet off of my utensils.
I would definitely like to come back to try the regular menu as the other items were cooked well!

I’ll try to make this quick: whoever is in the kitchen is good at barbecue, the servers aren’t lying when they say that’s the specialty here. However, the setting and décor are for a steak house– but the traditional steakhouse fare options on the menu are seriously lacking. The chef here needs to invest in some picnic tables and set up shop in a parking lot until he can open his own place, and the restaurant needs to hire a chef that is capable of executing steakhouse dishes with flavor. If you need more info, keep reading…
DRINKS: Out of four cocktails, none were finished because they were all poorly made and did not taste good. Seemed as if bartender had read the ingredients from the menu, put them in a shaker without any regard to proportions, and called it a day. They need to be replaced. Drinks we had included the Sage Advice, California Sidecar, as well as two other, forgettable beverages. Had a bit better luck with wines. The Syrah is cheap, and tastes that way.
APPETIZERS: Hit or miss.
Carpaccio– app we were most excited about, initially we were told they were out of it, then when 3 became available, we ordered all of them only to be underwhelmed by how tasteless they were.
Crabcakes– fine, nothing interesting, older members of our party considered them spicy.
Bacon Deviled Eggs– again, fine but not noteworthy, should have opted for crab.
Beet Salad– One of the best dishes of the night, basic combination of beet plus citrus plus cheese and nuts.
Blistered Peppers– I did not care for this dish.
Grilled octopus salad– a special dish for the night, grilled version of the fried app, well executed and flavorful.
ENTREES: Completely unseasoned. The kitchen staff are apparently unfamiliar with my friend Morton, the salt brand.
Porterhouse– tasty when paired with the sautéed mushrooms side and accompanying sauce but otherwise bland and flavorless, a steak of this quality should be able to stand on its own in terms of flavor but no seasoning was detected.
Prime Rib Stroganoff– this is easily the worst prime rib I’ve ever had, the meat in this dish was stringy and again, unseasoned. Glad we didn’t opt for the prime rib special as one of our entrees.
Duck Special– tasty, well-​seasoned skin, but otherwise overcooked and drink with NO FLAOR.
Barbeque Ribs– Great. Lightly sauced, meaty, generous portion, paired with baked beans that were surprisingly balanced in flavor. This is the only other dish that stood out in a positive way.
Service was attentive and polite given the constraints of the kitchen. Our large group was helped in a timely manner. Restaurant itself is well-​appointed despite the location and exterior. An entire table of un– or under-​seasoned dishes is unacceptable at any restaurant, let alone one with such simple items on the menu. I was embarrassed to have encouraged my family to dine here.
