    Had a hair in my wife's Ginger ale. Sat us at the bar area which we do not drink. And did not appreciate. Bar tender did not care. Plate of french fries were dirty had died cheese from not being clean. My burger looked and tasted like a bad froze n patty. First time going for my birthday and glad I canceled my Thanksgiving reservation. Table was dirty. Family that went on Thanksgiving said same thing. It taste like a bad school cafeteria food. Horrible experience. And they do nothing for your birthday!!!

    The Thanksgiving meal turned out to be a disappointment. Had I of know that their were no choices in the meal between turkey and ham, we would have eaten somewhere else. Our family does not eat meats other than some poultry and seafood. There is a lack of consideration for people's dietary needs. The turkey was not very good. Thick cuts and dry meat that was tasteless. My wifes plate had blobs of fat underneath her turkey slices. Gross. The sides were very good, however, the plate included what was at most a tablespoon of gravy and cranberry sauce. It is the worst Thanksgiving meal we've had at a restaurant.

    We were seated very quickly after checking in at the hostess stand. Our server was excellent and the Thanksgiving feast was exceptionally good. The cocktails were chilled and tasty, and our food was served hot and fresh. Our croissants were so yummy we were almost drooling. Two of my group were so full we took our pie to go. It was a great decision to celebrate our Thanksgiving at California Dreaming.

    Outstanding service on busy Thanksgiving day. We had an 11:30 a.m. appointment and decided to dine at the bar area. Beverages and Thanksgiving platter specials were delivered within 5 minutes. We were done and on our way within 45 minutes. However, there was a large group of people that were waiting to be seated at 12:15, but that is typical on Thanksgiving Day at that hour.

    Though the Thanksgiving meal had good selections included, I can’t say that we enjoyed eating it. It was not served hot like it should be; it was served room temperature at best. Acoustics and so many customers made it very hard to converse with our table mates.

    The food and the service were great. It is a very large restaurant so it is a little noisy but we could hear each other talk easily. Please keep doing this every Thanksgiving because it sure beats cooking for two.

    The only thing i'd like to suggest is to add apple pie to the Thanksgiving fare. Our 9 & 10 year old grandchildren were disappointed that their favorite pie wasn't on the menu. Portions were more than enough. I made 2 meals out of mine. We'll be back next year Lord willing.

    Great server, not a bad wait since we checked in on the way, FAST service! The only thing I can complain about is I forgot to mention that I didn't want cajun butter on the steak so it was a little more spice than I wanted but that was MY fault. It was still so tender and yummy! We will be back!

    We forgot how much we love this place. The ribs are amazing and the house salad with their signature honey mustard bacon dressing is so good. Love the honey butter croissants that come with it. The kids love going to the castle too. hand breaded chicken tenders and delicious fries!

    California Dreaming is a good value for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The food [steak & shrimp] was outstanding. My wife and I split the main course, added an extra side salad, and had the fantastic apple & walnut cobbler. Outstanding service by our server and a great meal!

    Overall, the food was good. I did not reward 5 stars because my entree was not prepared as I requested. I was told that the seasonal vegetables were peppers, onions, zucchini and carrots. I do not eat peppers and onions and requested they be removed from my order. When my order arrived, the side was nothing but peppers and onions. The waitress told me they tried to remove the peppers and onions. Clearly, that was inaccurate because the plate was loaded with peppers and onions. Highly disappointed that I was unable to enjoy this part of my meal.

    My family of 6 was so surprised of how delicious our meal was, plus we were amazed at the low cost of our entrees and appetizers! I have no seen this value in many years at a great restaurant. Thank you California Dreaming Restaurant for restoring our faith in good service, quality menus at a reasonable price.
