Finally had the opportunity to visit this restaurant and it was a wonderful surprise. The inside appears as if it were a renovated old building, but apparently it was built that way. High ceilings, huge windows out to the river, relatively quiet atmo

I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant as the location is what took me there as it's right in the water. The only set back would be the food- to me it's basic and not the best. I think it could use some more variety and a flavor ta
Disappointing Experience at California Dreaming – Not Family Friendly
I flew into Charleston, SC to attend a family birthday celebration. Our group had a reservation at California Dreaming for two tables of six. We were informed ahead of time that the tables might not be together, which wasn’t ideal, but we were will

We really enjoyed the food -Delicious Our waitress Shannon is an asset to your establishment !! She definitely knows her stuff !!
We got into town late and wanted to find something close by.
The location was amazing being on the river. However that's where it ended. We found the food overpriced and just ok (fire cracker tuna and surf and turf). Tuna was fine with the sauce, no clue what that broccoli was, my husbands steak was fi

Charleston Charm

Haven't eaten here in a while so it seamed like a good choice and although the service was great and very well organized the food was good but not great. At one point their chicken strips were so good & a staple when I came here but have fal

We came evening of the 4th of July, amazing service, amazing food and an amazing view. Our steaks were cooked PERFECT!!!!!
GO to California dream. Great food
Food was top-notch. The restaurant, in a whole, was a little noisy. Baffles would have taken care of that. The only drawback was the waitress. I think she was trying to be funny, but her comment came off rude. All in all I'd go back due to the g
Nice Seafood restaurant right on the water
We enjoying vacationing to Charleston and we usually make it to California Dreaming while visiting. It is right in the water and we love the view. Many times we see dolphins while eating. Their salads are so good with their bacon honey mustard house

Beautiful setting on a peninsula with a water view on 3 sides. Same great food as the other California Dreamings in Myrtle Beach and Greenville. Service is excellent. Ambiance is outstanding over the water. Food is great, particularly their signa

Best Food And Views In The Area- Not To Be Missed!
California Dreaming in Charleston is a MUST VISIT restaurant! It has consistently fabulous food and KILLER, waterfront views of the Ashley River. Out of all of the California Dreaming restaurants that we have been to, this is our favorite, by far! T
Great visit with a GREAT salad
After visiting locations in Augusta, GA and Columbia, SC we planned a visit to the Charleston location. Great view - on the water looking over into Charleston. This is one of the very few places I go in knowing that I am getting a salad as my meal.
Fish dinner
Beautiful waterfront views. Great location. Food was good. Service was great. Brandi was attentive, friendly and a pleasure to have as a server.
Connect with users posting reservations for California Dreaming Charleston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with California Dreaming Charleston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to California Dreaming Charleston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the California Dreaming Charleston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at California Dreaming Charleston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at California Dreaming Charleston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
