    We dined on the neighbor menu, which was generally good but I think just ordering off the regular menu would be better. The neighbor’s menu selection was lacking unless you ordered extras. Chef rj

    I love the Dry creek kitchen. I have never had anything , but perfection. The people working there are amazing. Last night was especially fun with the people working there dressing up for Halloween. Shout out to Maria for her bloody Maria costume. It was wonderful and so is she.,we love all of the Charlie Palmer restaurants.❤️

    Wax not impressed. Overpriced for quality we received. Six course tasting or three course prefix are the only available options. That’s their business model. Upcharge of $12 for a tenderloin was a waste of money. Very underwhelming and a bit tough. Would not return.

    We did the six-course tasting menu with the wine pairings. Really excellent, especially featuring wines from smaller area wineries. The courses were varied and also excellent.

    Overall, the food was good, but we expected a much better dining experience given the price point. The Hominy Risotto and oysters were particularly disappointing and fell short of our expectations. We also noted in our reservation that we were celebrating a friend’s birthday, but unfortunately, the occasion wasn’t acknowledged at all. While we didn’t expect anything elaborate, a simple mention would have been a nice touch. For a restaurant at this price level, we expected more attention to detail, both in the food and the service. Unfortunately, the overall experience left us disappointed.
