    Our Server was amazing, the salads were fabulous as usual. Someone in our party ordered the ribs and said they were delicious. Two of us ordered the marinaded sirloin and were sadly disappointed. They were extremely hard to cut and chewy. This is very odd because this is my favorite dish there and order it every time we go. It has never been like this. Unfortunately, I talked my husband into ordering it this visit. Hope they didn’t change vendors!

    Thank you for taking the time to share this with us, Robert. Hospitality is our business and we always want our guests to leave happy and full. I am disappointed to hear that not everyone in your party was met with those expectations that we strive to meet. We work hard to provide the best quality of steaks and share in your frustration when there are inconsistencies. We hope that your experiences with us in the future are nothing short of excellent. Thanks again for the feedback! Rachel Barfield Manager California Dreaming Surfside Beach (843) 215-5255
