    This was our first time here and it was amazing! The host and hostess were courteous and professional. Our server was amazing and personable. The espresso martini is top notch! The food was delicious. The best steak I’ve ever had! We went on Valentine’s Day weekend and it was super busy. Everything ran great, food was cooked perfectly, and the overall experience was perfect. We will definitely be back!

    The entire evening was nothing less than superb! We actually arrived 15 minutes past our initial reservation and still got seated within minutes! The food was delicious and the staff were impeccable! One of our friends had never been to a California Dreaming before and he was very impressed by everything! Thank you so much! The pork chops, the blackened chicken pasta and the Caeser salad with chicken were just some of the dishes that were ordered and we all loved our dinners!

There is though street parking, where you can find it. Other than that, we highly recommend this spot. We will definitely be coming!!

    Shrimp Scampi was excellent. We received more than great service from Tammy. Scollops, though good, were a disappointment next to the shrimp. The Brussel Sprouts, new to the menu, and vanilla cream cheesecake were both incredible. Overall a very good dining experiance.
