Review by Joshuah Blick

California Dreaming is a gem in Charleston! 🌅 The ambiance is incredible, with stunning views of the Ashley River that set the perfect backdrop for dinner. 🤩 I indulged in the seafood Alfredo - while it could’ve been a bit saucier, the fresh ingredients shined.

Don't miss the croissants; they're heavenly! The staff is friendly and attentive, making every moment enjoyable. Just a tip: try to snag a window seat for the full experience. I can’t wait to return for another sunset dinner! 🍽️✨
