    My husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day this evening at dry Creek Grill. It was our first time visiting this restaurant and it was a very, very pleasant experience. We ordered the beef rib and it was very very tender. Excellent dinner excellent service. Looking forward to coming back with our family. We also had dessert I ordered the chocolate molten cake. It was served with a few raspberries and blackberries perfect balance for the cake. Overall great experience we will be returning soon.

    Took my girlfriend last night for Valentine’s Day and the overall experience was great. We had a reservation and got sat down with minimal wait time. All the staff who helped us were wonderful and the food was great! My bone-in ribeye was tender and cooked perfectly and my girlfriend’s pasta was as delicious. Thank you for making our special night that much better!! We will definitely return in the future!!

    Always a good place, no matter the occasion or event, for truly authentic properly prepared delicious German Bavarian style food and beer. Part of the restaurant feels as if you are in a country home, one part feels like you are in a hunting lodge, yet when you first walk in, it's like stepping into a typical German bar warm and cozy. It was Valentines day and the service was very attentive despite it being busy. The pacing was relaxed but not slow and all the dishes were beautifully presented. It's one of the few nicer places that is also family friendly.
