    We came on Easter and knew that it would be busy. Despite having a reservation, and being told they were running 20 minutes behind, we still had to wait 45 minutes for our table. The food was great and our server was good, despite a few minor service issues.

    Everything was good at California Dreaming except the fact that even with a reservation, we had to wait an additional 1/2 hour to be seated. I always wonder if the walk-in customers take precedence over reservations. This is the second time this has happened - however, I have to admit that both times I have been there, it has been a holiday.

    We made reservations and arrived early. We were told they were running behind about 20 minutes. We ended up waiting an hour after our reservation time. Yes, it was a holiday, but if the wait for reservations is going to be that long, they shouldn’t take reservations in the first place. Their waitlist was poorly managed.

    Another enjoyable lunch for 2. The she crab soup was delicious. The cali bowls are tasty (prefer the miso salmon) and filling. Service is friendly, prompt, and attentive. A pleasant setting makes dining a pleasure.

    Another excellent lunch. The Cali Bowl and the California Dreaming salad were both delicious. Our server (in the bar) was outstanding--friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. A regular dining spot for us.
