great
this was my post church restaurant growing up and it is my favorite. the food is amazing and the location is on the river in a castle looking building. the service is great and it has a atmosphere like no other. i go here for a nice dressy evening or a casual lunch, it is very versatile restaurant. parking is close and plenty of it. it is a very popular place and often you dont have a chance of getting in unless you have a reservation, but if not it is worth the wait

Love this place
This is THE BEST place to eat in Charleston. Every table has a view of the water. The food is great and you get lots of it. The wait can be long, especially on weekends, so call ahead.

Best Charleston water view
Be sure to order the CD house salad, it's to die for! The one thing that stands this restaurant apart from the rest of the CDs is the view. If you want to experience the beauty of Charleston by water, do it here. It can get pretty busy, so if you are a tourist, come early.

Still a great place to eat
This used to be the only restaurant in town. Obviously, I'm exagerating but 9 out of 10 people used to claim California Dreaming as their favorite place to eat in the area. Now, however, there are plenty of great places to eat and the novelty of going to CD has waned. The restaurant is still as awesome as it ever was. Go back again and get that big ole' chicken salad...it will fill you up till you're stuffed like a tick on a hound-dog. I just drooled on my keyboard. The staff here knows how to handle lots of people without making you feel rushed. Every seat has a view of the water.

Bad All Around
I have been dining at California Dreaming for many years now. For the longest time, it was my favorite restaurant anywhere. Now, I would not recommend it to anyone. The last three times I went, the service was awful. On my first trip, a girl dropped an entire mixed drink on my new blouse. Of course I knew it was an accident, but she did not even say she was sorry, but instead walked away and seemed to avoid me the rest of the time I was there. I expected that at some point a manager would come and check to make sure I was alright, but that never happened. The second trip I speak of, my food came out wrong not once, but twice. By the time my food was brought to me correctly, everyone else was already finished eating! I also noticed on my way out the door that the restaurant had earned a B rating. Had I known that before, I never would have stepped foot inside. My third trip was just yesterday, Monday, Feb. 2, 2009. I thought I would give it one more chance before I gave up. There were many things that happened that hammered that last nail in the coffin for me. First, I had to wait over 30 minutes for my food to come out. Of course, when it finally did come out, it was incorrect. I waited another fifteen minutes for the new food, a seemingly simple Shrimp Wrap, it tasted horrible! My server was also very short with me. As well, they have an open kitchen, where you can see everything that goes on. I was sitting right next to the window, and I saw a young man yelling very rudely at someone working on the food. Not only did he use profanity that anyone listening could hear, but it was evident he was not in control of the situation. I later asked my server who he was, and she told me his name was Brent Register, the soon-to-be manager of the whole store! Perhaps this explains why my visit was such a miserable one. Clearly, this man has no idea what he is doing, and has let all aspects of his restaurant go downhill, fast.

Great Resturant
Our group ws having a reunion in Charleston, our local representative had made arrangements for us to eat at the resturant the night of 27 June. Upon arrival, we were all seated and our orders were taken, in a very short time our salads were delivered and shortly after our main course arrived, everyones order was correct and the food the wonderful. There were 39 persons in our group, and every one had only praise for the food and for the young lady that was our server.Worldwide > United States > Charleston, SC > Restaurants
