Everything was top-notch! The atmosphere was intimate and impressive, and the food was incredible! Highly recommend the Braised Short Rib! Service was also timely and friendly! Plan to make this a regular monthly visit!

There are some restaurants that offer consistent service, great food and wonderful ambience and Dry Creek Grill is a great example. This hidden gem is an excellent restaurant with exceptional service, drinks and cuisine. We started off with cocktails, Sucker Punch and classic Manhattan. Enjoyed the Korean Fried chicken wings as a starter. Our entrees include their delicious angus prime cheeseburger with fries and a ceasar salad with grilled salmon. Shared a wonderful dessert and an espresso martini. Delightful. The restaurant is in a shopping center off Meridian Avenue and Hamilton. There is plenty of parking. You can also enjoy their fire pit outside the front of the restaurant while waiting for friends or a table.

I'm from Texas so saying you have Texas style BBQ in California raised some questions. The brisket is perfectly cooked, but the flavor profile is different than in central Texas. That said I'll order it again as it is delicious. This trip I had the meatloaf and it was wonderful, I highly recommend it if you like meatloaf. The salads were fresh and tasty and the creme brulee was over the top. Can't wait to come back for another taste of Dry Creek Grill BBQ

Stopped in for a quick bite on a Friday night. No reservations but the hostesses were super cool and got us a table, but told us we needed to be done in a little over 1.5 hours. No probs for us, so we sat quickly. Service was prompt too. Christian helped us and was on point. Not only did we get to order right away, our appetizers came quickly. Delicious cornbread and sticky tasty wings. For dinner we ordered a bunch of things and enjoyed them all. Meatloaf wrapped in bacon, salmon burger, French onion soup, Mac n cheese etc. Even though we only had a small window to relax and enjoy, we maximized the time and enjoyed ourselves. From the front desk to the table service, it was great. We’ve been to this place a few times before and will indeed be back, but last nights dinner and service was review worthy. Bravo to Dry Creek Grill. One love

The setting in this restaurant is peaceful and serine. The service was great and the food was even better. Lots of great choices on the menu as well as a large wine and craft cocktail selection. Full bar with multiple TV screens and comfortable and semi private booths to private a personal dining experience

My husband and I were there for New Year’s Eve. They had a menu especially for the holidays , so we didn’t get to order the steak that we wanted but I ordered the brace ribs with mashed potatoes and it was really good. My Husband ordered the lamb chops and he liked that lamb chops but he didn’t like the Palenta. He couldn’t substitute the Palenta for Mashed potatoes which was Disappointed for him. The food was good. I was a disappointment with their drinks they just had a certain Selection on the holiday men. but overall, it was a good experience. I think we’re gonna go back when they have their regular menu.

Nice decor, for those that want to keep up with sports, this is a good place with lots of TV screens. Good variety food selections, cocktails, and wine. Deviled eggs was good, lamb chop, ravioli, roasted beets salad and onion soup were all good. Our server Adriana was very friendly and helpful. Our second time here, the food and service are always good. The only downside this time ISVs the noise level, too much dishes clinging and sound from the kitchen, made it hard to hear our own conversation.

When comfort food is calling for you, this might be the place. The menu seemed to have something for everyone. Great outdoor fire pits offer a phenomenal spot to wait for your table. Reservations are highly encouraged as this place can get crowded, but if you can wait until after the usual rush hours you might be better off. I showed up without a reservation a little after 8pm and there was plenty of room. The bar looked impressive and I had a phenomenal cocktail (The Firecracker) while my companion had a half-bottle of Chardonnay (yes, they offer this on their wine menu). The food was great and prices were reasonable. Will definitely come back again. One thing I would say is that a certain support server could benefit from training as he interrupted our discussion with our main server to deliver our appetizers while we were sorting out our wine selection. It was both comical and awkward at the same time.

Overall experience was delightful. Been many of times and experience never disappoints. I got Salmon and my man got the meatloaf and baby got steamed veggies. The mashed potatoes tasted funny somehow as well as the cauliflowers. Outside area has continued to improve every time I visit. I loved the meatloaf when preggo but it didn’t taste the same. I love the ambiance inside and wished I was not too shy to take photos.

This review for Dry Creek Grill is long overdue. We stopped by for cocktails and appetizers before continuing to our next destination. The three of us had a wonderful time; our server, Christian (?), was sweet and attentive. The ambiance was sexy and dark, just as it has always been. While it may not look upscale from the outside, stepping inside feels perfect for a date or family dinner. It's a great spot for singles too at their lovely bar. Although, it was full the night we visited, it still maintained a comfortable volume, and exuded subdued sophistication. Service was surprisingly on point and fast with a packed house. It reminded me that Dry Creek is a hidden gem worth revisiting more often. They've maintained consistency over the years in their food and cocktails. The quality is not top notch but you get what you pay for and it’s very fair. Service is top priority in my book when dining out. Reservations is recommended, especially on weekends. Parking is ample in the spacious lot out front.

I'd put Dry Creek Grill in the category of upscale, casual dining. They have a full bar, a good selection of wine and a decent selection of beer. Unfortunately, the service we had was very poor. For instance, I ordered a beer, and could see it sitting on the bar, and it took 4½ minutes for our waiter to bring it to me. Other drink orders were equally slow, as was water service. At no point did he come by to ask if our food was good. Besides the service, the food was good. Two of us had the Tues tacos ($18), steak, chicken and shrimp (one of each) which were tasty. One person got the burger ($22), and the other a salad. The meatballs appetizer was not a hit, but that's just personal taste. We booked ahead of time and were given a choice of booth or table. We chose table. The restaurant wasn't too busy as it was a cold, rainy evening. All said and done, I will not be in a rush to go back to the Dry Creek Grill.

Had a really rough experience at this place last night. The server D.K., (they'll know), was not great at all. He rushed through our drink order and only allowed one of us to order an actual starter dish before he just walked away. Drinks took forever and not once did he ask us if we wanted refills or another round. We never got bread, had to ask for it. When he took our order he was confused about his own handwriting. We asked for ketchup, never got that. I asked for our check because I knew it would be forever until he came back to us, and that still took forever. When we finally got our check he told us that he had accidentally rang us up for another amount but he had "fixed" it. When we left I got a notification that my card had been charged and yep, you guessed it, for the wrong amount ($60 more). I called and spoke to the assistant manager who was very friendly and helpful. Hoping the overcharge gets resolved eventually. Overall, this place feels nice and the food was okay. For the price we paid (not counting the overcharge), the service really needs help. It looked like the other servers were really hustling so we probably just got someone on a bad night.

We had a big party. Our party sampled from each other's plates. Most of us agreed the food was excellent and we couldn't find any dish that we didn't like! Our server was attentive. Our party arrived with children and he treated them kindly and took their orders as well. We had a great time and a great meal! Unfortunately, the bus person turned off the mood while he was clearing the table. Some of us went to the washroom and some of us were getting ready to go and sitting at the table. Then, he (the busguy) started piling dishes in front of me. In the beginning, I didn't mind but one of the dinnerware slipped out of the plate while he was clearing the plates off the table. It could have dropped on one of us. But "Mr. Bus guy" didn't seem to mind, he continued with the same pattern. "Here, let me push dishes to the side so don't bring them over the children", I said and pushed the dish pile off the side of the children but the bus guy ignored and continued. Bringing plates or even table mats over people's heads is kind of rude and unnerving. Recommendation: swordfish, carbonara, Stroganoff, risotto, half chicken, ravioli, Angus burger, meatloaf, Mac&cheese, baked beans (excellent), French onion soup (pretty darn good too)
