Came in for a late Thursday lunch during the off-hours , and the service was still completely on point. Super attentive staff from the moment we walked in. We started with the seasonal citrus and beet salads—both tasted amazingly fresh and crisp. I saw a few new menu items and tried the Snake River steak, which turned out delicious and cooked perfectly. My wife got her go-to salmon and loved it as always. Wrapped things up with a solid crème brûlée and gelato. The place looks great, too. You can tell they keep updating the decor, and the vibe is easily one of the best around. Passed a big group of Googlers heading out as we walked in—it really is the go-to spot for Silicon Valley business lunches. Always a great experience here, already looking forward to the next visit.

Another wonderful dining experience and the service was exceptional. Sitting on the patio with the heaters comfortable and providing blankets was a nice touch although we didn’t need them. I also appreciate they do not charge a corkage fee so I can bring a wine from my collection to share with friends. I love this restaurant and will definitely return again.

Such a wonderful restaurant! Staff here is ever so friendly. Manager is a delight and stopped by our table to check in on us more than once. They made a great apéritif recommendation that was so good we went downstairs and bought a bottle! Food is always fabulous. One day I might get something other than the fornello pugliese but not this day. Terra really makes date night with the wife extra special!

I've been to Dry Creek several times and the food is always good and I have consistent experience. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. When the restaurant gets busy the noise level is a little loud but other than that it's great.

    One our favorites when we are in Saratoga. I had the chicken piccatta...it was very good. I would order it again. My hubby he go-to lasagne...he loved it. Our waiter was very friendly and the entire staff was professional. Can't wait for our next visit.
