Dry Creek Kitchen

Healdsburg


Right on the town plaza, you'll no doubt catch a glimpse of this restaurant's elegant dining room with its beautiful people, floor-to-ceiling windows and gorgeous fresh-flower bouquets. From the creative mind of famed restaurateur Charlie Palmer, the rotating menu features the freshest ingredients for unique takes on classic NorCal cuisine that feel connected to the earth, forests and open spaces of this great land.

It's worth the indulgence, especially if you can swing the sensory-overload tasting menu. To save some bucks, head up to the bar and go with a salad and appetizer.
