    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!

    An overall outstanding experience! The food was exceptional! Lorraine, our server, was efficient but unobtrusive. The only low point was the moderate noise level. I would imagine that on a busy night the noise would be much worse.

    The food service ambiance etc was good and rated it accordingly. The prices are good too. It wasn’t the wow factor which is why I gave it a 4 star. The menu QR code is annoying for 2 reasons: 1. It’s so small you can hardly read it and 2. It has sushi on it but sushi is not available at this time.
