The Dry Creek Kitchen was far from overcrowded over Barrel Tasting Weekend. After the meal, we understood why.
The restaurant fell dramatically short of expectations. Their Fois Gras starter ($19) was served over a bread pudding. The savory taste of the liver and the slight sweet taste of the bread pudding, although similar in texture, was a combination that simply didn't work.
The waiter brought out our duck entree ($27) took it back when he saw we weren't ready, and by the time he returned it, it simply wasn't warm enough. We asked for them to re-heat it, and it still wasn't warm enough, and the absence of taste didn't help. Judging by the other Cityseach reviews, I'm glad we didn't stick around for coffee and dessert.
I wouldn't go back there even on someone else's expense account. Have Charlie Palmer's restaurants become insipid Wolfgang Puck type franchises?
Cons: , expensive
