![]() Dry Creek Kitchen Restaurant Review: Dry Creek Kitchen has helped guide Healdsburg’s maturation into a restaurant destination. While it’s just one outpost in chef Charlie Palmer’s nationwide collection, it has a special mission---to celebrate Sonoma County’s wondrous culinary richness. Sure signs he’s seriously seduced: transplanting his family from NYC to the neighborhood, and a weighty wine list exclusively drawn from Sonoma’s appellations (plus corkage waived for county-designated BYOs). And then there’s the progressive American menu: it ebbs and flows with what’s at the farmers market behind the restaurant and stays as lovingly local as possible. Feather-light Sonoma foie gras tortellini is spooned with subtle, garlic-infused broth, and crisp-skinned duck breast is paired with mini caramelized apple tarte and confit. Other dishes include luscious carrot soup poured over a white poof of cardamom flan with candied ginger, and Pacific bass in sweet tarragon sauce with butter-glazed radishes. Occasional exceptions to the local rule are forgivable, such as with a duo of diver scallops seated atop picked cabbage and braised Midwest Kurobuta pork belly. A three-course “neighbors menu” woos local residents. In summertime, the sidewalk patio becomes the “it” place to dine, though tall glass doors fronting the entire room offer a spatial feel year round. |
