Usually, we love this place. We ordered a ribeye dinner and sirloin dinner tonight. Both steaks were very tough, so we couldn't eat them. Salads and service were great, though.

CA Dreaming Salad was excellent. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Service was provided by Hollie Barton was prompt efficient and most friendly. She made a point in coming by the table unobtrusively to ensure I and my guest had all we needed. I ordered the honey croissants as a side and we found them also very tasty. I’ll return when in Augusta again.

Excellent service from Chris as always! Boiled chicken salad came with fried chicken when served and we had to send it back due to my celiac disease. A few minutes later, the salad returned with a small amount of grilled chicken that seemed a bit disappointing. Portions sizes here used to be more generous.

Mothers Day the busiest of the year and they knocked it out of the park. We did have to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time, but that was expected on a day like that. The tables were clean, the waitress was friendly, made suggestions due to a member of the party with an allergy and the support staff was on point the whole time. The food was so wonderful that we shared all around. It had been over 20 years since I'd last eaten here, and we will be back! Great job CA Dreaming!!

My fiancé and I made reservations to avoid the wait; however, we had to wait anyways. There’s no point in making a reservation if you still have to wait for a table! Besides that, my fiancé requested his steak to be well done, but had a medium well steak instead. Our server was very nice and apologized more than once about the steak. We know it wasn’t his fault though, and assured him that it was okay. I probably won’t be returning.

It was lovely weather to dine outside. Our waiter, Neal, was excellent. He was personable and very efficient. My salmon salad was delicious. And my husband's potato soup was served hot (not room temp as some places) and delicious as well. It was a very pleasant evening.

This restaurant has always been popular, but recently it is hard to get in the door. Despite the crowds the service was good, the time it took to get food was reasonable, and the food was great. Love their salads and crescent rolls, and the broccoli was a great side dish.

Food is always great. We have never had a bad meal. Service is always good. You can't go wrong with The California Dreamin Salad! That Salad is amazing, and the croissants are what dreams are made of. The Blackened Chicken Pasta is good- not too spicy, but with a nice bite, Perfectly cooked. California Dreamin is a restaurant that stays in our Top Favorites.

5 siblings from across the states of Georgia and SC met to have lunch in honor of our sister who passed away in December. California Dreaming was chosen because of previous experience and it was centrally located for all of us. We had a great lunch and the attention paid to us by the server (Tee W) was exceptional.

Seated immediately at 5:00 p.m. this past Saturday (reservations work). Greeted by our server Mary, and we were on our way to a great dinning experience. Food came out on a timely basis, and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Hats off to Mary for making our evening very enjoyable.

I took my boyfriend to CD for his birthday yesterday. The food was delicious. His only issue was that his steak was cooked a little more than he would have liked it to be. Other than that, he was very satisfied. Our waiter Ricky was so pleasant, and he catered to our needs. The next time we are in town, we will be dining there again.
