Absolutely Delicious
First of all, we live in the area, and we have dined at California Dreaming many times, but it has been a little while since our last visit. It was my wife's birthday weekend celebration, and we chose to dine here. It was a wonderful dining experience where the restaurant met all of our desires with a clean, welcoming location with lots of free parking and an attentive staff. We ordered, and the food was delivered in a timely manner (i.e... they did not just dump your table with a salad and then bring out the entree's right on top of it, it was spaced appropriately). I want to commend the cook staff for preparing a delicious and absolutely cooked to perfection meal. It was so good that my wife and I cannot stop talking about how delicious it was. We were fortunate enough to have some left to take home with us for later that evening (and it was just as delicious!). We cannot say enough good things about our dining experience. We hope you visit California Dreaming restaurant and that your experience will be as delightful. as ours has been.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious, free parking, great service
Booked reservations on Open Table but there was not a wait when we arrived. Nice atmosphere and free parking. Menu has a lot of great options. Their salad with house dressing was sooo good. I should have just ordered that for my meal! Their croissants are really good too. I had the ribeye. For those who like a good cut of meat thatโs very basic, youโll love their steak. Iโm one who likes seasoning on mine, so I didnโt love it. And it was undercooked. Portions are large and prices were fair. Service was excellent. Would definitely eat here again.

Had a reservation for 7PM and was seated by 6:57PM. There were a couple minor issues that our waitress, Isabella, resolved quickly. Wrong wine brough to table, no utensils and no pepper. She was good and none of the issues were because of her. I had Carolina Trout and wife had Steak and Schrimp. Both dishes were good and food came out fairly quickly. Will go back.

California Dreaming is my go-to restaurant when I visit Columbia. Whether my reason for being there is to take a client to lunch or to meet up with girlfriends or family, its varitey of tasty offerings and reasonable prices keep it at the top of my list of excellent restaurants. The atmosphere is inviting, the staff is always welcoming and helpful, and the food never disappoints. From its crab claws, its exceptional Long Island iced tea, to its delectable California Dreaming salads, I am here for California Dreaming!

This place was a pleasant surprise. In all my years of visiting Columbia I have never seen or heard of it and my last visit I went twice it was so nice the first time! The title says it all those croissants were ADDICTIVE! Every item we ordered was amazing, even the salads! The service was just as exceptional which helped make the experience that much greater. This is definitely my go to spot should I ever visit again.
Be the first to ReplyAnniversary Dinner was Wonderful
We decided on California Dreaming for an intimate date night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Reservations were a simple exercise online. We arrived early and were immediately seated. The server was excellent as was the food, though my wife found her baked potato a bit undercooked. It was IMMEDIATELY replaced with a new potato. And the complementary cheesecake for our celebration was greatly appreciated and much enjoyed.

Good stuff - pretty building, nice ambience, friendly customers, big enough portion size to leave full Bad Stuff - food was terrible and nothing was fresh (except the childrenโs chicken strips meal interestingly), awful service from our waitress, too expensive for a microwave meal, you will be seated in a โkidsโ section next to the kitchen if you bring kids I do NOT recommend a visit.

We use this place for birthdays and "visitors in town" but it really should be a regular stop for us. Great atmosphere, service is pro. Menu will dazzle. Food is terrific. Everything you order will be your favorite. Be sure to ask for the croissants.

Be the first to ReplyDisappointing
We went to California Dreaming for our wedding anniversary. My husband and I both ordered the ribeye steaks. I ordered mine medium well and my husband ordered his medium. My steak came out over done. It was literally burnt on the bottom. My husbands came out barely pink. His looked more like a nice thick ribeye cut and mine looked like a chopped slice of thin meat. It didnโt even look like a ribeye cut. It looked more like a tbone cut without the bone. The taste was terrible. Not only did was it overcooked and tough but you could taste the burnt part. I couldnโt finish it. The more I cut into the steak the dryer and nastier it got. Our fries were over cooked too. Most of the fries were to hard. Iโm even disappointed in my salad because it didnโt have the dressing I asked for. Overall for $82 we are very disappointed in our meals. I have always recommended this restaurant to all of my customers and friends. I have always thought this was the restaurant to go to for special occasions. But after the meal we just received I have changed my mind. The only thing they had going for them today was our waitress was polite and nice.

We all had salad or soup/salad and enjoyed our lunches which were large. The building is an old rail station but the view is mainly the tracks. Still, it was a nice relaxing lunch.

Brought my co-worker to CD for lunch. Food was great - chicken tenders and American burger. The service by Brisheida was excellent. Our order was correct, she made frequent visits to our table, refills were automatic, and all with a beautiful smile. Thanks for the five star service.

The service was friendly but slow and the food was tasty if you enjoy eating fried food. Very few vegetarian options. Crab soup was super creamy/buttery. Very nice building. Easy parking

Very good food, Great service in a fun and interesting building! We liked it so much we went twice during our trip!
Be the first to ReplyExtremely disappointing
The drinks were poorly made. The service was unfriendly an uncaring. The food was terribly prepared. No A/C, an the table was sopping wet.
Example my wife's sister ordered a salad for dinner an it was litterly floating in warm ranch dressing. Not once did the waiter ask if there was a problem. We couldn't leave fast enough.
Great food near Univ of SC
Stopped here for lunch with our family. Plenty of choices to make everyone happy. Lots of room for diners to be spread out in the large seating areas. Food was very good & prices were reasonable. Server was attentive, courteous & professional.
Be the first to ReplyGreat atmosphere and food!
My husband, a train lover, was as excited as I was to try this restaurant in the old Union Station. Love the atmosphere! It's big, but not loud. A large bar, great booths and nice outdoor seating. We had some interesting cocktails and enjoyed the food. My Broiled Salmon salad might have had more vinegar than I personally liked, my husband's Crispy Fried Shrimp was outstanding. Service was superior. Would definitely recommend.

This place was recommended by many while planning our college visit to USC. Very close to campus and located in a beautiful historic train station. Canโt go wrong with fish tacos or salmon! Steak was ok. Sangria was light and hit the spot after a long hot day walking the campus. Parking is easy and free. Service was impeccable. Loved the charm and character here!

Our meals were great, very well prepared and spaced out between appetizer, salads, entre, and dessert. Service was exceptional from our very friendly, efficient, and courteous server, ABBY. Commended her to the manager. She was great!

Had lunch after morning business. Great historic building,, old train station.. Ate seafood platter, all good, service good, but waited 40 min. for seating. Only about 2/3 occupied. They had tables but were short of servers, apparently free government money kept some away from work. Friend had salad and server brought her complimentary crab soup. I had some of it and it was out of this world delicious. This is aways on our go to list when we are In a place that has this resturant.

Service was a little slow but food was good and the atmosphere was great. Our kids had the hamburger and chicken sandwich which they said were good.
