California Dreaming Columbia Reviews from The Last Year
After struggling to find parking for approximately ten
After struggling to find parking for approximately ten minutes, we finally arrived on time for our reservation and checked in with the Host. There was no other communication from the Host. After a few minutes, I asked when our table would be ready. He responded, maybe ten to fifteen minutes. When I questioned the estimate, he replied, "We have over 100 reservations." This is unacceptable. If we had arrived at our reservation 15 minutes late, I would have expected them to have canceled my reservation. After a 20-minute wait at the bar, we were finally texted for our table. The wait staff and the food did improve our experience. However, I found the menu to be relatively uninventive. The cocktail menu listed the beer taps by brewery name only without mentioning the beer style on tap. In conclusion, our overall experience was underwhelming. Parking was too difficult, and the menu was unimpressive. We are unlikely to return. (Review cross-posted on YELP)
What a lovely space! Located in a turn of the century
What a lovely space! Located in a turn of the century former train station, this restaurant is filled with charm! Every worker we encountered was so polite and friendly and competent, especially our waitress. The menu has something for everyone from salads and burgers to more formal steak and pasta dishes. I had the California Cobb salad and it was yummy and just enough. Don has a po'boy with oysters and fries and loved it. Everything was just lovely and the price was right too! Enjoy!

My family and I have enjoyed dining at CD for many years in
My family and I have enjoyed dining at CD for many years in both Charleston and Columbia. However, during each of the last few visits, the menu is getting more and more limited and the portions are shrinking too. I'm also finding that CD is losing its upscale ambience to becoming more like a chain Applebee's or Chili's with a loud atmosphere and less formal interactions with the waitstaff. Food was decent but overall experience today was less than mediocre. California Dreaming is losing the standard it used to have; therefore, sending loyal patrons elsewhere.
Hands down the best salads in the state.
Absolutely amazing. Can NOT beat it. We come here all the time and are NEVER disappointed
Fun location in old train station.
Consistently good meal. Try the California Dreaming salad. And the croissants are amazing!!
Had a great lunch with friends.
Food choices were fun, service excellent. Lots of parking and easy access.
I just want to take the time to say what wonderful customer
I just want to take the time to say what wonderful customer service this restaurant has! Not only was our service wonderful but the food was delicious as well.. we were visiting from out of town and I left my purse there. Ugh! All I did was call and the manager mailed it to me free of charge and I received it two days later with nothing missing! To me this is going over and beyond to make your customer happy! Good job guys... recommend highly!!!
So here's the experience.
We called to get a reservation (7) for this past Sunday for 2:45, guy on the phone was super pleasant and professional. We get to the restaurant and wow, parking was a beast. Once we found parking, walked into the restaurant and it was super packed in the lobby, couldn't figure out if people were waiting to get to the hostess or not. Finally checked in and waited maybe 15 minutes or so. Not bad, but you can see other customers experiences while you're waiting on your table. It seems some waited for the entire time we were standing there without a waitress, waiter getting their drink order. Finally got seated in a very dirty booth. It's like would they want to sit there...probably not! The hostess said it was cleaned...no ma'am it was not! Waitress came right away to get our drink orders and we mostly had a lot of sweet tea orders. Drinks came and the tea was unsweetened. Waitress said she must've gotten the tea before it was sweetened. What?!? I've never been a server or worked in a restaurant so I'm not sure how true that is. Anywoo apps, salads came, everything tastes great. BTW our server brought us sugar packets instead of bringing us actual sweet tea. So the main entrees came and there was a hair on my relative's burger, that's a turnoff for sure. The refire of the burger took another 25 minutes. The waitress apologized but let me tell you, the experience was exhausting. We wanted dessert but knew it would take forever. The waitress got our card for the bill (no printout, all electronic) and stands right there waiting and looking at you leave a tip. We always tip well but the service since Covid has been going downhill over time. We got to finally leave around 5pm. We usually order takeout to restaurants and probably won't be back to what used to be the iconic California Dreaming for a while!!
Food is wonderful, noise level is high.
Service depends on time of day and location. Our favorite is the crab soup and house salad and, of course, the croissants!

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Newbie sellers— how fast do your reservations sell?
I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

I posted a request for a reservation this Thursday between 6:30 and 8 pm and initially the potential seller said it would be fulfilled by today. Now they changed it that they will only fulfill it by 5pm that same day. Basically I would have an hour and a half to get to the restaurant. Is this allowed?

Give the best answerApp
This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
