    They were an hour behind on reservations however the food and experience was great. My partners steak was undercooked but the restaurant made up for it and it was a great dining experience overall. Definitely going back.

    The restaurant was so slammed busy the day after Valentines Day. Even with a reservation we had to wait 25 minutes. Our waitress was friendly and accomodating. All the food was great. Initially the seafood nachos were cold, but the 2nd try they were fresh, hot, and amazing. It's worth going just for the ambience, rolls, and house salad. Highly recemmend

    I was seated 8 min after I arrived. I love open table. The place was very crowded seeing it is Valentine’s weekend however, I walked in a few minutes before my reservation and was seated on time. The food was excellent and the service was professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend California Dreaming!!

    The only reason I just can't give this a five-star is because my reservation was at 10 and we weren't seated until like 10:45 or 10:50. They did say their reservations were running behind, but still, that defeats the purpose of reservations

    Reservations were 45 minutes behind but they couldn’t bother to contact ahead to let us know. We ordered the salads tasted odd and just ate about a third because we were hungry. About the time the food was supposed to come out they are out of baked potatoes. The go to for steaks. Had we known before we ordered we could have done something else. So we ended up leaving and going home. Had duck donuts for our Valentines dinner. We drove over an hour for a special occasion and won’t be back.

    First, the food and the service were outstanding. My issue is that the restaurant wildly overbooked for the evening. I realize that it was Valentine’s Day and that it would be busy, but if you can’t offer a reservation, then don’t set one up. When we arrived we were told that they were already 45 minutes behind schedule. Our reservation was at 7:15pm. We got a table at 8:00pm. We had to wait 45 minutes past our reservation time because they overbooked themselves. It is an issue because customers could have appointments or plans after their meal, which we did. Also, our server was so good, literally amazing. I just feel bad for the servers because they are probably getting tables with customers who have been waiting far beyond their reservation time and may ignorantly punish the server by their attitude or not giving appropriate tips because they are frustrated with the restaurant. Why do you need to book so many reservations that you were clearly unprepared to accept? We also had to park 2 parking lots over as the lot was full. I just keep thinking that all of the overbooking seems to be just to make a bigger profit, regardless of the customer experience.

    We arrived on time for our reservation and were informed our table had a 1 hour wait. Incredibly disappointed that California Dreaming did not inform us ahead of time, at the least, so that we could have salvaged some of our valentine night.
