California Dreaming Columbia Reviews from The Last Year
After struggling to find parking for approximately ten
After struggling to find parking for approximately ten minutes, we finally arrived on time for our reservation and checked in with the Host. There was no other communication from the Host. After a few minutes, I asked when our table would be ready. He responded, maybe ten to fifteen minutes. When I questioned the estimate, he replied, "We have over 100 reservations." This is unacceptable. If we had arrived at our reservation 15 minutes late, I would have expected them to have canceled my reservation. After a 20-minute wait at the bar, we were finally texted for our table. The wait staff and the food did improve our experience. However, I found the menu to be relatively uninventive. The cocktail menu listed the beer taps by brewery name only without mentioning the beer style on tap. In conclusion, our overall experience was underwhelming. Parking was too difficult, and the menu was unimpressive. We are unlikely to return. (Review cross-posted on YELP)
What a lovely space! Located in a turn of the century
What a lovely space! Located in a turn of the century former train station, this restaurant is filled with charm! Every worker we encountered was so polite and friendly and competent, especially our waitress. The menu has something for everyone from salads and burgers to more formal steak and pasta dishes. I had the California Cobb salad and it was yummy and just enough. Don has a po'boy with oysters and fries and loved it. Everything was just lovely and the price was right too! Enjoy!
Our family loves the Columbia location‼ the waitstaff is
Our family loves the Columbia location‼ the waitstaff is always very polite & professional and the food is phenominal‼
My family and I have enjoyed dining at CD for many years in
My family and I have enjoyed dining at CD for many years in both Charleston and Columbia. However, during each of the last few visits, the menu is getting more and more limited and the portions are shrinking too. I'm also finding that CD is losing its upscale ambience to becoming more like a chain Applebee's or Chili's with a loud atmosphere and less formal interactions with the waitstaff. Food was decent but overall experience today was less than mediocre. California Dreaming is losing the standard it used to have; therefore, sending loyal patrons elsewhere.
Hands down the best salads in the state.
Absolutely amazing. Can NOT beat it. We come here all the time and are NEVER disappointed
Fun location in old train station.
Consistently good meal. Try the California Dreaming salad. And the croissants are amazing!!
Had a great lunch with friends.
Food choices were fun, service excellent. Lots of parking and easy access.
I just want to take the time to say what wonderful customer
I just want to take the time to say what wonderful customer service this restaurant has! Not only was our service wonderful but the food was delicious as well.. we were visiting from out of town and I left my purse there. Ugh! All I did was call and the manager mailed it to me free of charge and I received it two days later with nothing missing! To me this is going over and beyond to make your customer happy! Good job guys... recommend highly!!!
So here's the experience.
We called to get a reservation (7) for this past Sunday for 2:45, guy on the phone was super pleasant and professional. We get to the restaurant and wow, parking was a beast. Once we found parking, walked into the restaurant and it was super packed in the lobby, couldn't figure out if people were waiting to get to the hostess or not. Finally checked in and waited maybe 15 minutes or so. Not bad, but you can see other customers experiences while you're waiting on your table. It seems some waited for the entire time we were standing there without a waitress, waiter getting their drink order. Finally got seated in a very dirty booth. It's like would they want to sit there...probably not! The hostess said it was cleaned...no ma'am it was not! Waitress came right away to get our drink orders and we mostly had a lot of sweet tea orders. Drinks came and the tea was unsweetened. Waitress said she must've gotten the tea before it was sweetened. What?!? I've never been a server or worked in a restaurant so I'm not sure how true that is. Anywoo apps, salads came, everything tastes great. BTW our server brought us sugar packets instead of bringing us actual sweet tea. So the main entrees came and there was a hair on my relative's burger, that's a turnoff for sure. The refire of the burger took another 25 minutes. The waitress apologized but let me tell you, the experience was exhausting. We wanted dessert but knew it would take forever. The waitress got our card for the bill (no printout, all electronic) and stands right there waiting and looking at you leave a tip. We always tip well but the service since Covid has been going downhill over time. We got to finally leave around 5pm. We usually order takeout to restaurants and probably won't be back to what used to be the iconic California Dreaming for a while!!
Food is wonderful, noise level is high.
Service depends on time of day and location. Our favorite is the crab soup and house salad and, of course, the croissants!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
