Cali Grill Dinner - how long did your dinner last?

[CocoCoops]

My family plans to eat at Cali Grill and our ressies are at 5:30 on 2/8...(2 adult/2 kids under 10). What's your experience in the average time it takes to have dinner? We have no plans/expectations, but just curious if CG tries to move the pre-8pm folks a bit faster to get them out in time for ressies trying to catch Wishes.

There's pretty much no hope for us in catching Wishes while at CG, I'm thinking...any suggestions other than keep checking back to see if a 7/7:30 opens up? If we wrap up dinner at CG say at 7:30, what's the best strategy for watching Wishes outside of CG?

If you eat at CG, keep your receipt. With it, you can come back for Wishes on the same night and access the observation deck.

Our dinners here are 2+ hours but we enjoy a leisurely meal with a bottle of wine starting with our appetizers and will definitely have coffee and a shared dessert at the end. We have never experienced the wait staff trying to rush us but we are always just an all-adult group when we dine here.

With your dining receipt, you are allowed to return to the restaurant's observation deck to watch fireworks.
