It's a best for sitting capacity for customer. During covid-19 they provided lots of space for safely eat lunch or dinner. It's a quit amizing from other resturent . entire area dhanmondi we visit another 3 restaurant but they not provided properly sitting position. The food was just awesome. Entire menu I uploaded already.so visit there and try it their test. Thankyou for stay with me.

Exceptional and delightful food, I liked the ambience this spot has, and the workers were very kind. I will surely come back in the future.

This is a good restaurant. The services as good. The large booth seating is comfortable and private, great spot for date night. Great bar as well with comfortable seating. Their house salad is filling and delicious, the fresh croissants are warm and soft. I’ve only been a couple times but I enjoyed it.

Couldn't even order, sat for 20 mins. Was not busy at all. Food looked good though, really wanted to try.

Server was not happy. Kinda serious and not friendly. Food was not tasty. I was there in June 2019 and enjoyed your food. This time it was not enjoyable. Tasted like it was frozen and microwaved. The salad had a lot of yellow lettuce instead of green. I really miss what you had before. Ordered the same dinner too.

I went here on a Sunday Evening. Very welcoming when we first walked in. The lobster soup was so good (Not Pictured). The salmon salad was subpar. It lacked flavor in the salmon and the salad seemed to be missing something, very bland. I wouldn't recommend buying this dish. The restaurant was overall clean and the service was great!

We have dined at California Dreaming several times in the past. However, our experience on Saturday night was not good. No wait time at 6:30pm which was great. However, the service was HORRIBLE!! We sat near the kitchen and heard some yelling and profanity from the kitchen. After we placed our order, we waited and waited and waited without any attention from our server. When our food finally arrived (after an hour) it was only part of our meals. I ordered Salmon and a baked potato. I was served the Salmon with creamed spinach. I asked the server--where's my baked potato? The answer was "Okay!" We were a table of 5, but the main course (soup) for one of our party was missing. My husband had iced tea and it wasn't refilled!! I said--she needs her Bowl of Soup!! He just walked off! We couldn't locate anyone for over 10 minutes!!! I didn't want to finish my Salmon and have the potato ala carte, but if I waited it would get cold. The Salmon was delicious. When we finally were able to flag our waitress down, she was , "just a second" and took a few minutes to return. When we mentioned our missing food, she said the kitchen was overwhelmed!! but the restaurant was NOT full! So another 10 minutes and I finally got my potato and our friend received her soup. Disaster. We never heard from the Manager. I was so disappointed because we invited our friends to try this restaurant. They enjoyed the food but were very disappointed in the bad service. It will be quite a while before we try this place again!

I've been to this location twice in 3 weeks with pretty much the same outcome. 1st visit, my wife and I came for Valentines Day at 3:30p. Not busy. We were seated and our server got our drink order. Got our drinks and never saw anyone again. After waiting 15 minutes, we attempted to find a manager and pay for our drinks. A hostess finally told us the drinks were free. She did not try to find out what happened or apologize. We tried again today. Even worse. Seated in a section with no one else. This time never saw our server. Waited 10 minutes and left. Lots of servers in small groups chatting, but no manager or hostess to be found. Likely our last attempt at eating here which is a shame as it has a very unique menu.
The service is excellent, I fell in love with the structure, but mostly the people are very amicable and the food is amazing.

This is the first 2 star rating I've ever given. Even if I have a so-so experience at a restaurant, I still give it 4 stars. This place was not so-so.... We went for Friday lunch and our server was not friendly or happy for that matter. Just assumed and brought us all waters without ever taking a drink order, then never came back to fill them until the meal was over. I asked for more lemons for my water, I never got them....mind you, we were the only table in his section so it's not as if he was occupied elsewhere. The restaurant was practically empty. The primary reason I'm giving 2 stars & why I am still very hungry is that I ordered the peel & eat shrimp appetizer as my meal.....it came as a bowl of jumbo shrimp with ice chucked all over it and a cup of cocktail sauce also full of ice cubes. I thought "the ice cubes was a small mistake, no big deal, the shrimp are huge, this will be a great lunch". So I scoop the ice out of the sauce and start on the shrimp. That's where the problem lies. The shrimp were never deveined or even cut....they just took the whole raw shrimp and boiled it. Have you ever tried to devein a shrimp after it's been boiled with a dull fork?? Spoiler: it's virtually impossible to do without just getting poo everywhere and ultimately losing your appetite and not being able to eat said shrimp. Nevermind the difficulty in peeling your "peel & eat" shrimp that haven't been cut without a knife or anything to cut the shells with. Needless to say my experience cost $12+ and I left very hungry, very thirst, and so disappointed. Do not order the peel & eat shrimp!!!

There were three different orders for one table. All of the were mixed up. The appetizers arrived after the main course. My daughter and another little girl got their food so late by the time they brought it everybody else was done with their food. Quality of food was just nothing to crave for. I guess this is the first and last encounter. Not returning this place. Sorry.

I was recommended by a colleague to try this restaurant as she was trying it for a friends birthday. I thought it would be a great place to take one of my gyrlfriends for her birthday as we both like to try new places. My first visit here was delicious. I had the Seafood nachos and the Dreaming salad...... Fast forward; Due to the my first visit I decided to take my companion here for his birthday. . I ordered the Seafood Nachos again and this time it was not good. It was mixed with tuna! Alot of tuna. The first time it was made with shrimp and crab meat. I'm not sure if they were out of crab meat or maybe the first time the tuna tasted like crab meat but it was awful. I did not make a fuss because most times if something isnt good I just don't go back. My companion had Blacken Chicken pasta which was delicious. I was very happy his entree was satisfying as it was his birthday.

My friend had her baby shower here and we had a really nice time. The food was really good and it was seasoned to my liking. I don't like it when restaurants overpower there seasoning on the food which results in killing the natural flavor of the food. The reason I gave it a four star due to the fact that the server refilled my drink only once and we never saw him again.
