    We LOVE the California Dreaming "house salad" with so much in it, AND the honey-buttered croissant ! Amber, our server, took great care of us. Love the atmosphere, the big windows to the outside, and all the options. Great place to celebrate or just relax !

    We were in town for the SEC tournament and decided to venture away from town. We had reservations but arrived early, we decided to sit in the bar area. I am happy that after all these years California Dreaming (1991) the service and the food is still amazing!

    Good restaurant and service. From check-in (had reservation) to wrapping up, only one issue was they were out of the wine I ordered. The food was good overall. Fried shrimp were plenty both on the kids and entrée (were good size, not greasy, lightly breaded). NY strip had good flavor but was slightly over-cooked (I ordered medium and was more medium well). If you like fruit-forward sangria, would recommend choosing a different drink. The butter croissants were fantastic as always. The pay by QR code worked flawlessly. Overall good experience and would go back.

    Another excellent lunch: food, service, setting. The salmon Cali bowl is a great addition to the menu. Return regularly.

    My reservation was at 7pm however I wasn’t seated until 8pm very unacceptable. My steak was burnt and a manager never came to my table. I dine here very often and this is the first time I have ever experienced this.
