Dry Creek Grill - San Jose

Surprise. In an average shopping center there is a quality restaurant like this. I think of this as a single stone and mortar for quality. So don't let it go. My daughter got me out for dinner and cocktail. Wow! Everything was really delicious. I think the proverb is true: you get what you pay and sometimes it is really good quality at a fair price! Parking was easy. A cozy small corner place with a lot of seating. The huge bar was full of guests eating and drinking. Most people seemed well dressed or busy (after the amount of work?. I think it might have been sourdough? I only ate it because the oat butter had some herbs on it. I usually avoid gluten, but a slice was not hurt. We ordered the crab cakes. 2 per order. Definitely not too much bread. A crab cake. Offers and tasty with a great small crispy coating. I ordered the special grilled halibut with potatoes and green beans. I admit, I wish the fish was a bigger one because it was so amazing. The potatoes were cooked tenderly. But the green beans were perfect. I like vegetables to taste themselves, which does not mean cooked. You had a bang. The lemon sauce was good enough to drink in a cup. Of course I didn't mean it didn't happen. My daughter ordered the seafood risotto. I took a little bite from her fish was salmon. Buttery, delicate and tasty. However, the Mascarpone cheese was overwhelming and too much in the Risotto for me, the Risotto was crushed together and not loose bits. Taste a little like boxed Mac n cheese taste. I know this is a difficult description. But I did. My daughter loved it. It was a big portion and she brought home about 1/2. Then we shared my favorite all the time. Crime brûlée I can rarely say it was bomb! That's it. With a perfect thin layer of comminuted sugar. No complaints! Yummy with a dark coffee..

It was quiet on a Sunday for a date. The chairs were somewhat unpleasant, but the food was absolutely amazing. Dessert was also Yam. Service was exceptional and hope to return a day soon

It was a surprising place with many choices. The place is cheesy with low dimming lights, but very suitable for hanging out friends, appointments, even staff dinners. From the appetizers to the main courses really enjoyed. We had cakes, Karlifornia cheese plate, fresh fish, meat pig! As beautiful as showing photos.

My husband and I went to Dry Creek Grill for our anniversary yesterday, which also happens to be mother's day. The service was amazing! I have a severe egg allergy and our server double triple checked that the items I ordered were safe for me to eat! It was a great experience!

After an experience that I believed would not bring me back to Dry Creek Grill the manager Holly reached out after she read my review, she proceeded to tell me that she appreciated my feedback and wanted to make sure my next experience a better one. This time I decided to try BBQ platter and the Steak Frite and I must say it was all so delicious, BBQ has to be eaten hands on and kept trying not to put my fingers in my mouth and it was so hard to stop myself from doing so, the cornbread was so good and as much as I wanted to finish it I decided to save a bite for later lol. The steak I feel it's hard to get that wrong so it was great, also had the Irish Manhattan and finished it with a NY cheesecake. The pictures say it all tbh and just looking at all the food makes me want to come back. I did come in with a pork chop in mind since I looked at some pictures before going to Dry Creek Grill and was a little disappointed to find out that wasn't in there menu, and again my choice did not disappoint Thank you Holly and I will be coming back, hope to see pork chops in the menu next time
