I've been going to the California Hotel for years and never really thought about dining here. My boyfriend was the one who selected this place for a surprise date he had planned. We didn't make reservations, but only took about 20 minutes for us to get seated which I gotta say isn't bad for a Friday night!
The food was pretty good, but I can't really say much since I almost always get chicken fettuccine alfredo and that to me always taste delicious. The ONLY negative thing I have to really say against this place is our seating. It was hard to concentrate on eating due to the beaming, bright red light hanging over us. I know it ties into the theme of "pirate", but it just made it difficult for me to eat my food.
