Aren't DMV Appointments non-transferrable?

While it's true that appointments are technically not transferable, for DMV Appointments the transfer service is included for buyers at no cost. The transfer team has both - the sellers and the buyers dmv information, so it can cancel the sellers appointment and then rebook under the buyers name. Should something not work out the Appointment Trader Money Back guarantee will kick in. In any event you won't be turned away when you go to the DMV as the Appointment will be in your name.

This is a special occasion every time you go

5/5 by wayne krantz on 08/05/2022

We use this place for birthdays and "visitors in town" but it really should be a regular stop for us. Great atmosphere, service is pro. Menu will dazzle. Food is terrific. Everything you order will be your favorite. Be sure to ask for the croissants.

Birthday Lunch

5/5 by Tara M on 08/03/2022

Visiting today for my fiancé pre bday lunch and I had an amazing time. The view by the window was relaxing and the food was great. What made my visit so special was a waitress name Donitra. Omg she was awesome and attentive with the mist amazing personality. When you visit ask for her.

Good food, terrible service!The hostess was rude and

1/5 by W B. on 07/31/2022

Good food, terrible service!The hostess was rude and actually rolled her eyes when I requested to be seated in a booth if possible. Once our waitress finally came to our table to take our drinks orders she left left and proceeded to deal with her other 2 tables completely forgetting to bring us our drinks. Our apps came out, we had to ask twice for silverware/napkins... we thought things were looking up but then our salads came without dressing our waitress went to get the dressings and immediately our entrees came out (before we even had our salad dressing) when I questioned our waitress about the timing she just said "yeah, that shouldn't have happened" and turned and walked away. We never received drink refills the next time we saw our server was when she dropped off the check. Absolutely terrible service and no manager in site.Also, I'm not sure what was going on but the hostess was more concerned with covering the top of the hostess stand with taped together trash bags rather than helping customers.

3/5 by Jordan R. on 07/25/2022

I went to California dreaming on 7/9/22 and ordered two California dreaming salads and one 14oz ribeye steak wanted it cooked well done the steak was charred and when I put steak sauce on it you can still taste the charred

🤮

only because I couldn't do a negative star.

Dined there last night. Hard to believe such an awesome atmosphere could serve such bad food. seafood nachos were awful. Hamburger was burnt... ordered medium. Chicken Alfredo was "out of a jar". wait serve was good.very disappointed

Disappointing

1/5 by CS on 06/20/2022

We went to California Dreaming for our wedding anniversary. My husband and I both ordered the ribeye steaks. I ordered mine medium well and my husband ordered his medium. My steak came out over done. It was literally burnt on the bottom. My husbands came out barely pink. His looked more like a nice thick ribeye cut and mine looked like a chopped slice of thin meat. It didn’t even look like a ribeye cut. It looked more like a tbone cut without the bone. The taste was terrible. Not only did was it overcooked and tough but you could taste the burnt part. I couldn’t finish it. The more I cut into the steak the dryer and nastier it got. Our fries were over cooked too. Most of the fries were to hard. I’m even disappointed in my salad because it didn’t have the dressing I asked for. Overall for $82 we are very disappointed in our meals. I have always recommended this restaurant to all of my customers and friends. I have always thought this was the restaurant to go to for special occasions. But after the meal we just received I have changed my mind. The only thing they had going for them today was our waitress was polite and nice.

🤮

Fathers Day, mild wait 30-40 maybe, got lucky and sat at

1/5 by Marc P. on 06/19/2022

Fathers Day, mild wait 30-40 maybe, got lucky and sat at the bar, ordered a beer and a ribeye MR salad and potato. Came out well done. Mistakes happen, unfortunately I couldn't get anyone's attention to even tell, so I ate the potato and salad. Then pushed the steak off and put silverware on top of it so they knew it was done, asked how it was, then, oh yeah that's over cooked. We'll, it's been over an hour, ready to roll. Still paid a portion of my bill, lol. Then left. First time. Last time. Even if it was just a random mistake, happens all the time to the best places, but the decent ones at least check back to see how a steaks cooked

🙂

The first time I went here was in 1992, way before Yelp.

4/5 by Jon L. on 06/16/2022

Back today to write my review, just 30 years later, better late than never?I had to be in town for some business so I decided to take a walk down memory lane and check this place out.My memory from 30 years ago was more than a bit fuzzy.The only clear recollection I have is the classic architecture of this space inside the former train station. It is spectacular, unique and classy!What a great place for a restaurant and oh BTW, the food is fantastic too!I had the grilled salmon salad with lots of iceberg and some other mixed greens. The vinaigrette dressing was exceptional.Where else can you dine out where there are palm trees around your table?Or are they Palmetto trees?They have a great menu, exceptional service and a good value.Lots of free parking in the surface lot.

😒

So I love many dishes at this restaurant.

3/5 by A. M. on 06/12/2022

Easy place to grab something to eat with your family. Since Covid I have been noticing a trend with their to-go order salads, which I never noticed when ordering a salad while dinning in. The meat medley mixed with bacon is disgusting. I have given this restaurant over 5/6 chances to get this right. However consistently the bacon and the meat in the salad is brown, no way that should ever come out of the kitchen. I have simply thrown them away because they is no way I would feed my kids that or myself. Things have gotten missed from my orders but I give 5 stars on that issue, you will always get your food back on the next visit if you can't come back same day. But the meat especially the BROWN, old, unappetizing bacon should should be addressed and changed immediately. Are you all giving old bacon to save on cost to customers placing to-go orders hoping they won't give any grief?!?!?I don't ever remember Dinning in and seeing old brown bacon on your highly sot after salads. I would have totally given a picture, but I'm so accustomed to throwing the salads away. They were in the trash before I completed this review. Is this a good violation? Is the temp correct? What is the problem?

🤢

The food was mediocre and the service was bad.

2/5 by Renuka R. on 05/28/2022

We ordered a salmon salad and it took over an hour. The salmon was rubbery and veggies in the salad were soggy. They got some of our orders wrong and we were only 4 people. I gave 2 stars for no wait time and a decent indoor seating.

🙂

Fun environment.

4/5 by Frank S. on 05/07/2022

Our local place for big salads and more. Recommend for bar and for families. Also has sore of a college vibe since close to USC. It's the old train station in Columbia.

😍

This place is fabulous with delicious food and excellent

5/5 by Shannon P. on 05/06/2022

This place is fabulous with delicious food and excellent customer service a must try is their honey glazed croissants they are served warm with your salad or you can order as a appetizer always my favorite stop when coming back home..!

🙂

Nice lunch

4/5 by Beth S on 05/03/2022

We all had salad or soup/salad and enjoyed our lunches which were large. The building is an old rail station but the view is mainly the tracks. Still, it was a nice relaxing lunch.

🤢

Very disappointed with service.

2/5 by Larry S. on 05/01/2022

Waiter never heard of romalard sauce. Half of the fries were cold. Couldn't get waiter's attention to order drinks or dessert. Oysters were okay but heavily breaded for tampura. At best below average.

😍

5 Star Service

5/5 by KOSC1 on 04/14/2022

Brought my co-worker to CD for lunch. Food was great - chicken tenders and American burger. The service by Brisheida was excellent. Our order was correct, she made frequent visits to our table, refills were automatic, and all with a beautiful smile. Thanks for the five star service.

😍

We really enjoyed our lunch here! The atmosphere is great and the building is beautiful.We had great service (can't remember his name). The food was delicious!!! Everyone at the table really enjoyed their food. I ordered the fettuccini alfredo and it was so good! Sometimes the pasta is dry at places, but not here. It was delicious and covered in sauce! Yummy!!

5/5 by Kenya P. on 03/22/2022

Jake our waiter was beyond exceptional super nice kid and the food was really delicious. We had the wings as an appetizer and shortly after our entrées came out. I was pleasantly surprised how fast and hot the food was. I ordered the fried shrimp with fries and it was and seasoned very well and my friend ordered the CD salad that was amazing. We both had specialty drinks and ordered dessert which was the brownie with ice cream. I wasn't a fan of the Hersey chocolate bar on top of the brownie but overall it was still tasty. 10 outta 10 would recommend.

😍

Amazing Dinner

5/5 by Donald L on 03/12/2022

We visited here last night for dinner we ordered ribeyes but they brought me a sirloin I was starving so I ate half of it but the manager fixed me a fresh ribeye to go and took it off my tab we will definitely be returning

5/5 by Alayna D. on 02/28/2022

Came here for a lovely night out with my fabulous girlfriend. We did not have to wait long and were blessed to be sat in "Ashlyn's" section. Despite being out of crab claws and cobbler, Ashlyn made great recommendations for drinks and food. She made our experience 10x better. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks so much Ashlyn!!

🤢

The hosts were not friendly what so ever.

2/5 by Jim S. on 02/25/2022

They paid no mind to us when we walked in the door. After 5 minutes of waiting to be sat at the front door we were finally taken to our table. Thank you to our server, Susanna for making the experience not entirely awful. She was a very sweet girl and really did her best to make our experience enjoyable - 5 star server. The food was mediocre and our steak was cooked wrong. Won't be coming back, which is a shame because Susanna was the perfect server but everything else cannot be overlooked.

make a reservation, walk ins are hard to come by especially

4/5 by Veta J. on 02/21/2022

make a reservation, walk ins are hard to come by especially on the weekendif you're an impatient person, don't come here expecting to have your reservation at the exact time. my reservation was for 6:45, but we were seated around 7:20. they were really busy tonight, a sunday night. i really don't mind though and i'm not impatient. to start, i got the baked potato soup. good flavor, hot, everything you'd want. 9/10.my boyfriend got the she crab soup to start, he said it was 8/10. -2 because of the shell inside the soup, and it was also warm. the croissants are 10/10. sooooo good. just get them trust me. really good with some soup. i got the blackened chicken pasta, very good portion sizes. you're gonna take some home for sure.overall 8/10

🤮

The seafood pasta dish was a watery mess with absolutely no

1/5 by Larry H. on 02/18/2022

The seafood pasta dish was a watery mess with absolutely no flavor. It was like eating the pasta right from the boiling water it was cooked in - ugh!!!. The 5 small clams and few shrimp added no flavor to this entre. The sauce needs to be thicker and more favorable.

Excellent Idea!

🙂 4/5 Review by FamousStation67 (05/19/2022 8:11 pm)

This app is filling a void - there's a real market to tap into here. It's just annoying to see some reservations getting sold out here that end up in a no show - the restaurants aren't benefiting in such cases unless they charge a no-show fee. Besides this issue, I'm looking forward to the app community growing and would love to continue to contribute towards it's growth in any way that I can!

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
