    We selected this restaurant for Valentine’s celebration. The restaurant is beautiful tjoyghg very noisy! Most of our food was excellent! The creme brulee was overcooked and the sugar caramelization was too thin. It had obviously been prepared earlier in the day. Poor service began when we entered. The manager was admonishing thefring staff. The young man that took us to our table took off and we could barely keep up! When he seated us he gave no explanation to the special menu. Our server had no personality and we never felt welcomed. Other server brought our entrees down on the table and left. We did not have silverware to eat our entrees. We had to look for someone and requested silverware. He never came to check how the entrees were or the temperature of my steak. He never came to clear the table when we ordered desserts. I was surprised that restaurant manager did not say a word while we walked out of the restaurant. We are doubtful to come back or to recommend anyone to this restaurant.

    My husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day this evening at dry Creek Grill. It was our first time visiting this restaurant and it was a very, very pleasant experience. We ordered the beef rib and it was very very tender. Excellent dinner excellent service. Looking forward to coming back with our family. We also had dessert I ordered the chocolate molten cake. It was served with a few raspberries and blackberries perfect balance for the cake. Overall great experience we will be returning soon.

    Great experience on a Valentine’s Day dinner. They were slammed but held steady. Baked brie appetizer, Ribeye steak, Chocolate lava cake, drinks etc were all very nice.

    Overall not horrible, I think we just had some bad luck. The place looks great, but they are apparently doing some renovations so the ceiling had plastic strung across it. I'm sure when they are complete it will be great. My wife and I were there for Valentine's Day dinner so they had a minimized menu, which was a little surprising, but not a huge problem. Our salads were great, any my wife's meal was good. As for my meal... A couple of the less than great things...we received our bread well after the tables around us that sat after us. I ordered a sprite. The first one was obviously running low on syrup as it tasted almost entirely like soda water. I informed the waiter and he apologized and went to get it sorted. About 15 minutes later he comes back with my sprite, except it's still only soda water. I wave him down and tell him. He looks perplexed and apologizes again and takes it away. He comes back about 5 mins later and says they are switching out the empty syrup for a new one. By the time the bill came I still hadn't gotten my drink, oh well. I forgot to see if I actually paid for it or not. I ordered the ribeye. It was a much thinner cut than I would have expected, especially for the price. I ordered medium rare, and it was probably a little more on the rare side for my liking, but since restaurants usually over cook things, it was interesting to see one go the other direction. I could really only eat about 1/3 of it because it was pretty much cold in the middle. The seasoning was fine. The service was good overall, no real problems there, except for the aforementioned drink issue. I might try them again, but there wasn't anything about the experience that will have me rushing back.

    The Dry Creek Grill is hands down our favorite restaurant. We celebrated an early Valentine's dinner and our meal was perfect together with the ambiance and service. We began with crab cakes, and then shared the filet mignon stroganoff and asparagus. Incredibly delicious! The manager came to our table to be sure our dining experience was exceptional - and it was!

    Celebrated an early Valentine’s Day! Service was fantastic, both waiter and server. Food was delicious, the French onion soup wonderful, Caesar salad delicious, Maui Maui delicious and the New York steak. For the price the steak was fatty tho.

    Horrible service. Bottle of wine we ordered came at the end of our dinner. Food was obviously premade. Came out lukewarm. Disappointing to say the least. Will not return unless I can be assured that the dining experience will be a pleasant one.
