La perle du quartier

Located in downtown Columbia, SC, inside the historic 1902 Union Station, California Dreaming welcomes guests with its vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows offer a picturesque view of the rail tracks, stretching from the inactive platform to the main terminal. Paired with our hearty, made-from-scratch menu, it's no wonder California Dreaming has been a beloved local institution since 1984. Open for lunch and dinner daily, including online ordering with curbside pickup.

Celebrating 40 years, California Dreaming has been a valued part of the Columbia community. Union Station, its historic home, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

**We provide Advance Priority Seating to reduce wait times and expedite the seating process when your entire party arrives. To ensure the best experience for all guests, we seat groups of up to 8. While larger groups are seated separately, this arrangement is flexible during quieter hours.

Service was excellent. We could not have asked for a better waiter. The ranch dressing on the salad was not good, tasted more like blue cheese. Our waiter informed us he'd heard that complaint all night and happily brought me a new salad with thousand island dressing which was very good. Our baked potatoes were just barely warm and our steaks (marinated sirloins) were, although very flavorful, tough as leather. Definitely not worth the money.

I fell in love with California Dreaming when we lived in Kennesaw. We frequently dined at Chastain Rd location which unfortunately has since been closed. I was beyond thrilled when my daughter moved to Columbia and I found they had a location. Every time I visit my daughter, it’s our first dinner. Never disappoints, always delicious and the service is impeccable.

Service staff young and inexperienced; but friendly. Food came out too fast appetizers had just been brought to the table and the salads came. After three bites of salad, entrees came. I felt rushed and had to eat entree cool; of course cool pasta with congealed cream-based sauce is not super pleasant. Flavors were good though. I’ll go back for sure, but will temper expectations.

Our lunch was rushed and felt like we were on a timer. Our server wasn’t sure if the Tea we ordered was sweet or not so - he said.. “I added extra sugar just in case it wasn’t sweetened; may need to stir it up.” Yes it was too sweet! Then brought out my She Crab Soup for a starter- but quickly took it from me while there was still 1/2 of the soup in the bowl! Please ask next time. Placed our salads in front of us with the house dressings on the side for us to mix and apply. Then with the heat from the hot bacon our salads were soggy and wilted. We did not ask for them on the sides. Then in 10 minutes he comes by with the electronic card reader and tells my husband to “go ahead and get out his card to run the bill.” We have been in this Resturant since we were in college ourselves at USC- 1990 - never have we seen it so rushed, loud, casual, yet pricey. Disappointed in the food, service, and atmosphere. We were in town for a CPA conference as we do quite often.. not sure if we will be back or encourage others to do the same. Too many other great new places to try at the Vista.

The atmosphere and service was excellent! The meal ordered was not okay. I ordered the Trout meal. The meat was almost paper thin. Based on the price, I would never order that dish again.
