    We had a reservation. We arrived early and got seated immediately. Food was delicious. The serving of mashed potatoes was the largest I have ever had in any restaurant! And they were good.

    This was our first time eating at California dreaming. The food was very good. We had a Caesar salad and Poké bowl! Also a very yummy crab soup. Overall, a very good experience. They did drop the ball by not making a point to celebrate the birthday that was noted in the reservation. We hoped that they would at least bring a little dessert and say happy birthday without us asking, and it being awkward. Hopefully, that will improve next time!

    Food and service were wonderful. It was so dark that we had to use flashlights to read the menu. Perhaps it was just our table.
