Dry Creek Kitchen Update
Decided to keep original reservations for an overnight stay at Hotel Healdsburg and dinner at Dry Creek Kitchen and was pleasantly surprised with both.
Dinner was the six-course tasting menu. You can view it here:

Every course was delicious and executed perfectly. We didn't do the wine pairing, but brought a bottle of '03 D Cubed Howell Mountain Zin that paired perfectly with each course. Our server was a bit green, but didn't affect the overall experience.
Based on prior posted reviews, this is good news.
Oilcloth Tablecloths in San Francisco
Britex in the City has them on the 4th floor (I think!). They carry the expensive French imported fabric and the less expensive bolts found at Oilcloth International.
Wine Country One Night Sleep and Eat
Appreciate everyone's input. Guess I should have mentioned that I booked a special that includes room (tax, etc.) and 6-course tasting menu for two for under $475. I agree with Benny that hotel restaurants can be a risk. Broken down, dinner is practically free if you go by the rack rates for the rooms.
Checked on availability for Farmhouse and it's booked. I'll keep looking.
Wine Country One Night Sleep and Eat
Was going to spend the night with hubby at Hotel Healdsburg and have dinner at Dry Creek Kitchen, but after reading the reviews on Chowhound's Board, I'm ready to cancel. Any suggestions for other nice hotels with equally nice restaurants located inside the property? We might be able to swing a walk next door, but are too exhausted to go much further than that.
Thanks.
