    Our server Maria was special. Amazing food but priced moderately by comparison. Caviar app was only 35 and amazing. Clam chowder was hearty Foccacia bread by pan was unique. Chicken surprisingly was a highlight. Exceptional wine list

    Starting with the room itself, all the way through dessert, five stars are warranted. I enjoyed their boulevardier riff called Lost in the Orchard very much. The chocolate bitters and cedar smoke mage for a perfect balance. Our choices were a three course tasting menu or their 6 course tasting experience. We opted for 3. It's a great value at 75pp. Don't miss the salmon appetizer. It's inventive and delicious, perfect starter. I ate every bite of the persimmon and burrata salad and tasted my partners little gems. Both were great. Chicken roulade with crisp polenta could have maybe been a tiny bit crispier but definitely enjoyed it. The filet with pave potatoes was also perfectly prepared. And those desserts! You'll have trouble choosing. I went for the simple poached pear without regret. The service was attentive and not overbearing. The room is spacious and absolutely gorgeous. We will for certain be back.

    We had an amazing meal at the Dry Creek Kitchen. The six and three course menu offerings are well done. I ordered the filet and my husband the duck breast. Both were cooked a perfect medium rare. The steak tar tart table side presentation is a nice touch and the burrata was truly delicious. The real star and winner of our experience was our sever Maria. She was so welcoming, had amazing recommendations, extensive wine knowledge and just so outgoing to fun to talk to. She is a true gem and she made our meal so much more enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back.

    It had been a while since we had had dinner at DCK, even though we live in town. What a great dining experience we had. First, DCK still waives corkage on Sonoma wines. Nice support for local vintners. Second, our server, Maria, was perfect. All 4 of us noticed that she hit the sweet spot between very attentive and not pulling up a fifth chair. She was charming, conversational, articulate about the menu options, and clearly interested in the quality of our experience. Third, not one bite of food was other than perfect. The portions were so generous that we’ll be getting a second meal from the things we brought home. My Liberty duck was excellent and the clam chowder soup was one of the most exquisite takes I have had. Not too creamy, not too thick, lots of clams cooked perfectly, and very flavorful. The mushroom dish with a parmigiana emulsion was raved about as were the chicken and steak entrees. A perfect dinner right there. Then came desserts. I loved my cheesecake. My wife loved her poached pear which was beautifully presented and delicious. The fixed price of $75 per person might seem high to some, but it was more than fair for the quality and quantity of food and the perfect service. We will be back much sooner after this experience.

    Always a great experience. My only slightly negative was that the duck I had was not tender, and took more effort to cut it and eat it than previous times there. Otherwise everything else was outstanding from the server (Brian) to the dessert! Thank you for being our "go to" restaurant in Healdsburg.

    Our waitress was delightful, we had a nice chat with the Sommelier, and the atmosphere could not be beat with a direct view of the Christmas tree in the Healdsburg Plaza! Our waitress was also exceptionally knowledgeable about all of the local produce and products used in all of our dishes.
