The best! – The staff at California Cafe made my birthday dinner totally memorable. I felt like they rolled out the red carpet the minute I walked in the door, doted on me all evening and they are now my favorite spot in LG. The food was awesome and even though they were busy, we got close parking and fast friendly service.

Tastey Dinner Options and Drinks – I have been to California Cafe several times and I always receive good food and good service. My husband and I even had our Rehearsal Dinner here of which they were extremely accomodating and offered wonderful service and dishes for a large group of 40 people (a majority of people ordered the filet mignon and everyone received it hot and impeccable). Sometimes the service can be spotty but the food is always right on target. Last time I was there, a waiter assistant served us the Three Way ... read more

Great for a Chain – I've enjoyed Cal Cafe over the past 10 years on many occasions. Sometimes for business meetings in the bar, for lunch, banquets and a few times for dinner. The food has fluctuated between good and average. The current chef seems to know what's going on because the the last few times I have been to lunch were banquets and what I thought would be another rubber-chicken experience. Not so.....I was impressed with the salmon and the chicken dishes. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Not the California Cafe I Remembered?! – The menu looked impressive, but what a huge disappointment. Food was cold and overcooked. The service was slow and unattentive. The bar failed on at least four occasions with three different customers to be able to pour a simple Martini! California Cafe used to be one of my favorite restaurants...too bad it just a faded memory now...

love this place! – I have been here several times and am always impressed. the butternut squash soup is incredible, they serve wild salmon and have fun and healthy drinks. Some of thier dishes have a slight asian flare, however if that is not your thing there is plenty on the menu for you as well. They even hand out recipes!

Good food, great atmosphere This is a great place to have a get together with some friends or to bring a date. The decor is simple but elegant, and the food is top notch. Some dishes put a bit of a strain on your wallet, particularly the steaks, but the pastas are very reasonably priced.
