California Dreaming: Reviews & Ratings
Great food and service each time we come here. I'll be coming here next time in town.
My husband treated me to dinner for my birthday. The food and atmosphere is fabulous. But Mariah J was AMAZING. She was so nice (even though she was very busy), very attentive and added this special touch to my cheesecake! I very much appreciated her kind gesture.
the food was lovely. I went for my birthday. And I love the salad and the bread. The service was amazing.
The restaurant is this old amazing building that is breathtaking to look at the character of the structure. (Exterior & interior). We ordered blackened chicken Alfredo, flounder, shrimp & a hamburger. Food tasted great! Our only complaint was on the loaded mashed potatoes we asked for no sour cream & both orders had sour cream. We did pay a $1.50 up charge for these mashed pots so it was disappointing they were wrong. Our waitress was great & the staff was very friendly.
Had a short wait with priority seating, so I recommend using priority seating when planning to visit this location. The service was excellent, server was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is always excellent. The lights are kept pretty low, so that may be an issue for those guests with vision impairments of any kind.
