Poor service and unacceptabe food (did not match menu)
Unfortunately, my husband and I decided to dine at the King of Prussia California Café on Sunday, November 18, 2001 at approximately 3PM. We will not be back. I ordered the Oriental Chicken Salad. What I received was not what was described on the menu. The salad had exactly 2 dime-sized wontons, no almonds and a scant amount of salad dressing that could not be tasted. The server stopped by approximately two minutes after we had received our meals to inquirer as to how everything was. We did not see her again. When she came to remove our plates, I asked her if I had received what I had ordered as it was not as described on the menu. First she said there was someone new making the salads and also added that we should have let her know of our problem sooner. That would have been impossible as she had not come back after the first inquiry before we were aware of the problem. Apparently the staff at The California Café is not instructed on how important customer service is. Too bad.    [18 Nov 2001 17:55:46]

Excellent Mall Fare
I have eaten at California Cafe several times and find the food to be quite inventive and very fresh. It is a bit pricey, but the food is very good and portions are hearty.    [15 Jul 2002 15:49:33]

Excellent
My husband and I ate at the California Cafe in King of Prussia in September. I had Portabello Mushroom Soup and it was incredible! I loved this soup and am always wanting to go again! I'm always wishing I had the recipe!    [03 Dec 2002 14:33:22]

The food at California Grill is very good and well presented. My only compliment these days is the POOR service. The service is not at all like it use to be. Please bring back the professional waitress!    [18 Jan 2004 19:15:34]

Amazing!
This was my first trip to California Cafe but it won't be my last. Everything from the food to the ambience to the excellent service makes this a highly recommended dining experience. I particularly enjoyed the sesame encrusted Ahi tuna, and my husband could not stop praising the smoked pork chop. A definite thumbs up from us!    [06 Sep 2004 15:23:13]

POOR SERVICE
My husband and I just returned to California Grill after 6 months and probably won't be back again for another 6 months. The restaurant is just not the same as it was when operated by the original owners. The new ownership has not kept up the "HIGH" exceptions of this restaurant. The ice tea is soooo watered down, the waitress's are very inattentive and do not refill water or check back to see if you need anything. The customer is definately not the top priority at this restaurant - and the sauces are awful - bring back the professional servers and sauces.    [23 Feb 2005 14:28:26]
