Progressive American cooking rooted in Sonoma County

Legendary Chef Charlie Palmer seamlessly blends his Progressive American style with the rich bounty of Sonoma County, along with the most expansive, exclusively Sonoma County wine list in the world. Here you’ll discover the freshest, hyper-seasonal ingredients that are grown and raised by farms up the road, and wines by vintners you visited earlier in the day. We’re proud to call Healdsburg home.

Choose from our three-course nightly dinner menu, indulge in Chef Shane’s ever-changing six-course tasting menu, or enjoy our celebrated Thursday night Sonoma Neighbor menu. For a more casual evening, dine at Dry Creek Kitchen’s bar or savor light bites and hearty burgers at Hotel Healdsburg’s lobby Spirit Bar. Welcome to our kitchen, where we celebrate the essence of Sonoma County, every day.

This was our first time back at Dry Creek Kitchen in several years and were quite pleasantly surprised. Both the food and the service were outstanding. We were there on a Thursday night when they offer a $55 Neighborhood 3 course menu (2 choices per course) and half priced wine by the bottle. So a great value, but even more impressive was the impeccable service we received!

The food is great. Our waiter, Brian, is the best in the business; It’s like he runs the whole place. He’s very knowledgeable and likeable. Whatever he suggested turned out to be fantastic, wine included.

Ambiance and service were amazing! Unfortunately, the vegan options were not very good. Heavily sauced and spiced. Had to send the cauliflower steak back b/c the curry was overpowering. Salad was swimming in dressing. Chocolate mousse was okay but nothing to write home about (can get a good vegan chocolate mousse just about anywhere). Most options just removed non-vegan ingredients and didn’t add anything instead. Weird/boring. You’d expect a restaurant like this to be able to come up with better vegan dishes. 5 stars for ambiance and service, 2 stars for food
