    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.

    The food was outstanding! We also had a problem with seating as we were a party of 4 but the reservation said party of 2. The manager was brought over and was able to find us a very nice and cozy spot! Our waitress was a sweetheart. We had the best experience at Dry Creek Grill!

    Food was very good. Service was very slow. The staff was friendly and kept water topped off but food took quite a while to come out of the kitchen. That being said I will go back.

    Dinner was absolutely spectacular. We started with the tempura green beans then we split deviled eggs with bacon then a Caesar salad and then we split the meatloaf. Everything was wonderful.

    I booked a table for 10 for our organization's winter social. We were seated at a high table by the bar. Our server Lily was fabulous and friendly and got our orders out promptly. We stayed for the whole 3 hours and it was so much fun. The cocktails were delicious as were the appetizers , entrees and dessert. Would highly recommend.
