Our Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner was fantastic! So much food! The turkey, dressing, gravy, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots, cranberry sauce and corn muffins were delicious! Topped off with a slice of pecan pie! Yum!!! Excellent service! Great experience!

Everything was outstanding on Thanksgiving except for the wait for our reservation. About thirty people were standing outside in the cold waiting to be seated with no heat source and 95% of us had no jackets. This happened because people were camping and being allowed to dine without reservations. Bummer indeed! A lot of elderly outside on the cold including in our party. Thank goodness our service made up for that as well as the food! Sheldon was incredible and we so enjoyed his service and conversation! We will be back for the food and Sheldon!

We came to the beach for Thanksgiving this year. The plate they brought us was amazing, enough for leftovers the next day. The food was superb well worth the price. If you want to get in for the holiday, I highly recommend reservations.

Excellent Thanksgiving meal with good portions served quick and hot. Employees were extremely courteous even with the huge crowd. Already considering for next year.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day dinner with friends at California Dreaming. We have been there before for Thanksgiving and we have always enjoyed it. The Thanksgiving dinner has everything you would want and is very tasty. Our server was excellent. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name. Would highly recommend.

We arrived 15 Minutes early for our 3:15 reservation. Someone was stationed at the door who notified the hostess that we had arrived. We were surprised we had to wait outside because the bar area was full. It was chilly, but we were texted at 3:17 that our table was ready. Excellent crowd management, I thought. We were shown to a quiet booth overlooking the main floor. Our server, Dannie was excellent. She served drinks, food, asked several times if we needed more gravy, butter, bread, etc. Turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied pecan sweet potatoes, etc., all delicious. We're too full for our pie (pumpkin or pecan) and brought it home with us. At $30.95/person - a great value & wonderful holiday meal.

Thanksgiving dinner was great. Only problem was standing out in the cold waiting for our table.

It was the third Thanksgiving Dinner we have had there. Not big turkey fans. Ordered the Filets, one medium, one medium rare. Both were cooked perfect as ordered. Waiter was very attentive, especially how busy they were. Very enjoyable dinner, but a little rushed, but understandable as how many reservations they had.

We had a reservation at 12:30 and got there about 12:20. We didn't get in until a little later. The only problem we had was we had to wait either in the cold at outside seating or in our car, Fortunately we had our car near so we sat in it and stayed warm. We also didn't have to wait long. The Thanksgiving buffet was more than enough and tasted really good. Pork chops were also ordered and they were a little salty, but edible. We were with 2 toddlers and the wait staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed our visit.

We had the best server, her name was Kaylee. So positive and upbeat! The food was delicious. We have never eaten out on Thanksgiving and we really enjoyed it!

I ordered fillet medallions with fried shrimp, salad and baked potato. The salad had a lot of good stuff in. It had iceberg lettuce, which is awful. Phil greens are much preferred. My medallions are not cooked properly. One was medium, which is good. The other was very well done, which I couldn't eat. My baked potatoes, good My fried shrimp were old and rubbery after two bites. I just left them. This is not the usual wallet.

Richard

Highly recommend California Dreaming. Food had excellent flavor and taste. She-Crab soup was amazing! Ribs and loaded baked potato was delicious. Our waiter was wonderful! We had a reservation so we were seated promptly. Staff was very polite. We will be back!

Linda

Our waiter was attentive & personable. He gave us terrific service, I'm sorry I can't recall his name. The food was great! Brought my friends here for the first time & they all agreed that they would return. For the money...you can't beat it!

Main course brought to table while still eating soup and salads. Too rushed. Medium filet was well-done and tasteless.
