    Great place! Go there about once per month. Always able to make a reservation on open table. We get seated quickly so the staff is trained well and it seems to be well managed. The atmosphere is a little dated but there is a lot of seating and the bar is large with more than one Bartender. I hate the restaurants where you are invisible at the bar waiting for the one overworked bartender to notice you! Not the case here. The food is always consistently good and comes out quick. Servers are well trained and responsive. Try the ribs they are delicious. Salads are also terrific. Portions are large so great place to get the to go box for lunch the next day! Sorry my pictures were blurred but I posted one anyway.

    Great food along with good service and attentive staff. Ample location but could get busy during high season. Reservations are recommended. Our drinks were tasty. The food was excellent and well prepared. The service timing went well and without delays. Every employee I spoke with showed good manners and excellent hospitality skills. Well worth visiting and highly recommended.

    Food and service is very good! Sorry I didn't come in and try this restaurant sooner since it's right down the street from me, and now I'm moving. :( Nicely decorated for Christmas, too. :)

    Always a great place! Atmosphere is great and the food is always top notch! Have to say though that I always get the same thing crispy chicken salad with warm bacon and honey dressing! Also fresh fish is always good! Mahi Mahi and Vegetables!

    Was I "dreaming" when I came across this restaurant, that's fifteen minutes away from the bustling "Ocean Boulevard " of Myrtle Beach??? NOT AT ALL!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The architectural rendering, the seating and of course, THE FOOD! Their menu will appeal to "landlubbers" as all of the meat dishes, from burgers to steaks, will satisfy you! The "seafarers" will do good with their seafood platter to the scrumptious shrimp dishes! And their appetizers are " off the hook"! That seafood nachos dish may be the only thing you need to eat, as that special sauce embraces the salmon " cubes" and shrimp, are yours to savor with every bite! And the wait staff are extremely attentive to your needs! I had the pleasure of having "Alexandria" serve me,but when her hands were tied, her fellow workers stepped in with love!! Take a break from the beach and go to "California Dreaming"!!!

    This was my first visit as I don’t live in the area, but my parents love this place. The salad was surprisingly delicious. I also had the black bean burger with fries. The fries were really good (although they sat under a heat lamp for a bit and weren’t quite the temperature they should’ve been), and the burger was one of the best black bean burgers I’ve had (again, aside from the heat lamp thing). The only issue was it was not structurally sound - that poor “patty” was crumbling all over the place. My dad and my son both ordered the pork chops with mashed potatoes, and they reported moist, well-cooked and well- seasoned chops. We went for an early dinner with my dad (I like to poke fun and tell him this is young people lunch and old people dinner). The restaurant was mostly empty which was nice. The interior is welcoming, but those big mirrored walls will throw off your perception of how large it is inside. The staff was nice, and it was pretty neat to be seated near the open kitchen. Only problem with that is we also got front row seats to watch the front of house staff wandering around the kitchen and our food with their long hair swinging all over. All in all, it was a fine experience. I won’t be jumping to go again, but next time I come up to visit, I won’t protest when mom wants to go get her favorite salad.

    Had Thanksgiving dinner there tonight. It was packed and there was a line waiting to get in. Despite this the service was excellent. While the waitress was at our table, we were her priority. Great job. Don't remember her name, but she was from the Atlantic City area. The food was great and the portions were large. Almost everyone ended up taking home leftovers. Will definitely be returning.

    The aesthetic of this restaurant was warm and inviting. We visited near closing time but the staff was friendly and seemed eager to serve us. Everything we ordered was wonderful! I ordered a few specialty drinks from the bar and they were made and delivered quickly. The honey butter croissants were amazing! Very few places actually cook my meat as I request (medium rare) but this was on point! My daughter ordered the ribs and they were excellent as well. Ordered cheesecake to go and it was excellent as well. Very good food for the price. Above average service. We will be returning!
