    Excellent service! Nice ambience. Steak (and fries) were WAAAAAY too salty which TOTALLY overwhelmed the taste of the steak. I regret not sending mine back.

    Although it was Christmas dinner, C.D. had a full contingency of staff, making the reservation wait minimal as people were enjoying their meals leisurely. The food is guaranteed copious and delicious as usual.

    It was Christmas dinner so very hectic and packed which was expected. The reservation was 30 minutes behind, again it was not a big deal because it was slammed. The food was great and they offered a special holiday menu. The server was friendly and patient. Would have like to seen more California style art or decor with the name California Dreaming. Overall we would go back and do recommend

    Our server, Brenda L, was kind, thoughtful and helpful. Everything was fine, the Restaurant was jam-packed. I really admire all the servers who dealt with the mass.
