   What’s the point in having a reservation if it still takes 30 minutes to be seated? Host was rude and dismissive as was the waitress. Glasses stayed empty. Out of our party, three steaks were overcooked and tough to chew. So loud I couldn’t hear the person I was sitting next to. Service and food is so inconsistent every time we go. I’ll have a difficult time going back.

   After reading several glowing reviews, we decided to reserve priority seating for our trip to Columbia. We have never dined at California Dreaming before and were excited to try a new place with some great reviews. Sadly, our experience just left us underwhelmed. We expected the food to be so much better than it was based on other reviews. Frankly, we were shocked and disappointed when it wasn't. I will say that none of the disappointment of the experience can be attributed to Lexi--she was outstanding--very friendly and her service exceeded our expectations. Based on Lexi's recommendation, and countless reviews, we tried the croissants (of course) and they were delish! And my daughter enjoyed the chicken tenders too. Everything else was just lackluster at best. The spicy chicken sandwich had zero flavor to it other than heat--two people in our party tried this one. One with the jicama slaw (also zero taste) and one without. Neither of them enjoyed it at all. I tried the blackened salmon salad (also recommended by Lexi) and it was just blah! I mean, I don't know how blackened salmon can have zero flavor but it did. I felt like I was just chewing to chew. I would not order that again or recommend it to anyone. However, I did see some incredible looking baked potatoes being delivered to other tables--so maybe try that with whatever you get. We did not have dessert so I cannot comment on that. To sum our experience up, it was a huge disappointment and I would probably not go back on a return trip to Columbia.

   Per our previous first visit and review, we'd be back. Here we are! This is our follow-up visit and subsequent review. This "train station stop" is so beautiful and well done. The food, staff and service are tops. I've traveled much in my day for both pleasure and work, and this establishment earns high marks. I also managed a restaurant back in the 80's (for successful finicky owners) and have an eye for detail and California Dreaming runs a tight ship. They are both clean and organized. My wife and I plan to dine here on future trips south. You folks rock!

   Went on Easter Sunday. Service was great. Food was good. It was a normal time at this restaurant. Nothing special on a holiday. Disappointed in lack of marketing in management- NO Easter Specials at all - in drinks or food ! It’s a holiday-could have had some special dishes. Even drinks- fun names- for peeps sake, bunny hop, spring fling I don’t know …. Happy Easter y’all !

   You have to get the croissants! They are the best I have ever eaten. They melt in your mouth! We ordered the seafood nachos which were loaded with cheese and had a lot of salmon and shrimp! The She Crab soup was disappointing. It was bland. The pork chop was HUGE and had lots of flavor. The salmon was delicious and juicy. The vegan burger was MASSIVE and did not disappoint. The caesar shrimp salad was very good. We were so full we could not get dessert. The staff was very good especially the host who was very busy on Easter Sunday. He was very kind and friendly to everyone who approached him. Our server was attentive and brought our food out at the appropriate time.
