California Dreaming Restaurant

Good atmosphere, solidly prepared food, friendly service. The trifecta of a wonderful dining experience. There is plenty of parking and right on campus, but easy to get to. There are no vegetarian options whatsoever, and so while it's likely not even a high demand thing, it's worth knowing if you're not looking for meat... Even most of the sides have meat in them. All in all, I'll return on my next visit.

Fascinating place. Great service and food at fair prices. They give large servings. We have eaten there on an occasional basis for more than 20 years. Highly recommend. Will likely have to wait for table, so recommend calling for reservations. Located in an old building that was a train station in Columbia.

My wife and I occasionally stop in for Sunday bunch, and it's always tasty. Very extensive menu offering everything from sandwiches to Salmon and Prime Rib. Their house salad is big enough to make it a meal, and their honey drizzled croissants are always a fresh accompaniment. I suggest their warm, home made,honey mustard bacon dressing for any of their salads. Sometimes you might have a small wait for a table, but the hostess is always very prompt and personal, and the food is worth it.They have a great Bloody Mary too !

The food is good, but the last couple of visits were an issue for us with the service times. For example, at our last visit, it took well over thirty minutes for us to receive three salads. Seems a little too long for me. I also hope that someone from the restaurant reads this. There are some major concerns that should be looked into. First, the floors were slippery as if they were greasy. Two people in my party slipped while they were there. I hope this was a temporary issue, but if not I hope you take this review seriously and fix the issue. The second issue is that we were seated at a table that was in disrepair. It wobbled to the point where our drinks were not steady on the table. We were moved to one that the server said "did not shake as much". Please investigate your tables and make sure that guests are able to enjoy a meal (especially with children) and not have to worry about food or drinks moving around. I imagine these issues are temporary and I'm sure I'll be back in soon.

I enjoy eating here when I am in town on business or visiting my son at college. The have the best steak in town. I enjoy the atmosphere and the low lighting when I take my wife for a romantic dinner. The service is always top notch and have never had a bad meal there. Keep up the good work
