We arrived 45 min early for our reservation. We put in a request for a table by the window and let them know we are OK waiting until one becomes available. We have a seat in the lounge and are waited on immediately. Mo is our cocktail waitress and is very friendly and brings the bottle of wine we ordered right away (Chinon Cab Franc yum tasty).
Our wait for our table wasnt long at all. I dont even think we drank ½ glass of wine before they came to get us.
Our table had a wonderful view of M.K. and we had a beautiful sunset. The table had Mickey Mouse confetti all over it and we soon discovered that they only do this if your celebrating something. I had told them when I made the reservation we were celebrating our 19th anniversary.
Our waiter was Andy and he was also very good. We placed an order for appetizers of sushi to start. Mark had the Spicy Kazan roll which was great and I had the Rainbow roll which was good. We then split a bowl of soup I cant remember what it was I think it was a crab soup, it was good.

After Wishes was over our Filets came out from the kitchen. Mark had ordered his med rare and it came out under cooked and he had to send it back. I ordered mine med and it came out cooked fine but it was dry and wasnt very flavorful. Mark wasnt going to send his steak back but Andy wanted him to like his steak and took it back to get refired.
After our second bottle of Cab Franc our Mickey confetti wants to join in the fun.
We each ordered a desert and Mark ordered coffee and I ordered a cappuccino. Marks Banana and Caramel Custard was very good and my Valrhona cake was heavenly. Each of our deserts had a special little chocolate sign congratulating us on our anniversary.

My overall opinion is that service and atmosphere was great at California grill but if we go back we will just order Sushi and wine and forget about the Filets. Cmon man when you can get a sirloin steak from Mama Melroses that tastes better then a filet something is wrong.
