Today was not California Dreaming best, we ordered a two salad and crab claws for dinner. We got a text saying our food was ready. So we went and parked in the ToGo spot, we clicked the link to let them know we was there. We sit in the parking lot for 31 mins and no one showed. We called the number on the sign, they said our food would be right out. We sit another 14 mins no one show with our food. So I got out my vehicle and went in, told the host that I had ordered food ToGo and was in the parking lot, they told me to go over by takeout and someone would help. I went over and stood in the area, no one acted like they saw me, I'm pretty sure it on camera. Finally after getting some type of help, this lady went over to a shelf where our good was sitting out, surely the claws was cold as ice by now. She bagged it up and handed me the food. After getting home, the food was so bad. I put picture of out food the first three pics is our so call dinner, the last two pics are on there website, they look nothing alike. The crab claws was like all batter very few claws. This is terrible, we paid online and gave a tip 😞. Never again.

Great location in Spanish Fort near other restaurants and shops! Salad with salmon and crab claws are my favorite. Risling is $6 per glass. Outside seating is superb 👌. My second time here.

Excellent atmosphere, good service, but really only mediocre food. Definitely had a Cheesecake Bistro vibe, but the food quality was less. I did greatly enjoy the croissant though.

London was incredible! Personable, and conscientious! Our drinks never got below halfway before we had a new one. She said our choice in appetizer was one of her favorites, and it did not disappoint. We had the BBQ Chicken Nachos, they were great and there was plenty. I had the California Dreaming Salad, and this is a great salad! My grandson had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Fries. It looked amazing, a gigantic piece of chicken. Another guest in the restaurant stopped to ask what he was eating. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu!

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We had a 2 pm reservation, got seated 45 minutes later. Then we ordered our food as soon as the waitress came to our table. Our food did not come out until 4:45 pm (almost 3 hours after our reservation). The waitress did not apologize a single time and did not seem to care about the situation. She simply kept referring to how busy they were. The food was very mediocre and the $40 steak was raw. She did not attempt to give us any sort of discount or even ask about the food. Horrible experience. Will not return.

Our Server was Patrick, home from college. This young man had EXCELLENT customer service and was very well mannered! He gave us all the good vibes and made sure he was very attentive. The food was amazing, and we will be back and ask for him.

Haven’t been here in a while. service was absolutely amazing, but I had to send a steak back for the only the third time in my life and they just brought me back the same steak. It was not cooked under. It just was very gray. My wife’s dish was fantastic and everything else was great. Steaks here were always amazing in the past. Hope they can correct this. I’ll give them one more shot.

This was the first time visiting this location. Everything was excellent. We had a group of 12 and the manager went over the top to help us sit as a group. Our waitress (Ava) was outstanding. See was happy and did an excellent job of keeping up with a large group. The hostess was also friendly and helpful because of a terrible storm. She even offered to assist us to our car during the downpour. We didn’t need the help but her offer was genuine. The food was terrific and well presented. We will return.
Thanks
