Best Charleston water view. Be sure to order the CD house salad, it's to die for! The one thing that stands this restaurant apart from the rest of the CDs is the view. If you want to experience the beauty of Charleston by water, do it here. It can get pretty busy, so if you are a tourist, come early.

Love this place. This is THE BEST place to eat in Charleston. Every table has a view of the water. The food is great and you get lots of it. The wait can be long, especially on weekends, so call ahead.

great. this was my post church restaurant growing up and it is my favorite. the food is amazing and the location is on the river in a castle looking building. the service is great and it has a atmosphere like no other. i go here for a nice dressy evening or a casual lunch, it is very versatile restaurant. parking is close and plenty of it. it is a very popular place and often you dont have a chance of getting in unless you have a reservation, but if not it is worth the wait

Mouth Watering Fare. To say it very simply, California Dreaming is one of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of dining at. The food and service were outstanding and the Filet Mignon is enough to send any steak lover to heaven! In addition, they have a very good wine selection. Highly recommended.

Best Restaurant in America. Nine years ago I visited Charleston and ate at California Dreaming for the first time. Since then it is still my favorite restaurant in America. It has great food, great beverages, great atmosphere, there has never been anything to complain about. When I visit Charleston for 1 week every year, I eat at California Dreaming 3-4 times. California Dreaming is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Charleston. It would be nice if they build a franchise in my hometown, but then I wouldn't have a reason to go to Charleston.
