    We had a great experience. At our table we tried the filet mignon, prime rib, short ribs and scallops. All were delicious and cooked to perfection. The only thing that was odd was that there was no bread available to go with the baked brie appetizer. There were items we wanted to try from the regular menu that weren’t available because of the holiday menu, so we’ll have to come back another time.

    The place is very quiet while decorated restaurant. The sea cushion are worn needs to be replaced. There was a constant flies flying around this is the second time I went to go eat at this restaurant and have the same problem before especially by the bench sitting area table. The food portion is very small. The quality has savory small portion. The waiters needs to be more properly dress attire and they seem to want to hurry you out the table to bring in the next guest for sitting. I would not come back to this place after giving a second chance..

    The only issues we had was food came out at all different times and people were left waiting and others not eating to not be rude. This happened for all different phases of the meal..Everything else was good.

    Service was not great. My husband had to leave the table just to look for our server to place an order. My son’s burger didn’t even look like a burger. Definitely was not happy this time around.

    I’ve eaten at Dry Creek Grill many times. This visit we had harried wait staff. Restaurant was packed and extremely busy. Noise level precluded any kind of reasonable conversation. On arriving with a reservation guaranteed with a credit card we were told our group of 4 would need to wait for a table but with no approx seating time. It only took 15 minutes to get seated but the host wasn’t particularly helpful. We ordered drinks and appetizers which came out promptly but drinks came out piecemeal - 3 then the last glass of wine after a wait. Then after finishing appetizers we had to flag down the waiter to take our meal order. Appetizers were excellent green beans and Brussel sprouts. Entees were very good - stroganoff and shrimp. Prices were average for the Bay Area. Parking was good but when a gym opens next to the restaurant parking will be non existent near Dry Creek.
