Pacific Dining Car

I don't think a lot of people realize you can get afternoon tea service here. Quite a chill spot for a peaceful meet-up with a friend. Love the historic setting!

Not so good.When you order a $12.95 side of onion rings you would expect something special. Instead I received a clump of string cut unseasoned onion thins some of which(in the center of the clump) were coated with raw batter. The steak-burger did not fare much better. Service was slow drinks not refilled with-out flagging someone down. For a $1500.00 meal (we had 11 in our party) you would expect more. I did not complain about anything since I was with my family and thought I was the only one to have a problem with the food found out latter everyone was disappointed. It was Christmas eve and there were a lot of empty seats I should have seen that as a bad omen. Was my first time there and usually I give a restaurant a second chance (things can go wrong in even the best places) but in this instance I'll pass.

I wondered exactly what this place was about! the pictures on the web give you no clue to how great it truly is in this place! The seating is so comfortable I felt like never leaving! plus I felt like I had just arrived home! they rolled out the welcome mat for me, a total stranger! I felt like I was getting the same treatment any of Hollywoods elite would have gotten! And, when they offer you a soda, it tastes like no pop I have ever had! I can't describe it to you, but it had this rich and clean taste! it was as though it had been specifically made just for them! It was even bottled in 10oz glass bottles! He brought it out to the table and poured it as if it was the finest wine! If price is an issue, you better wear a blindfold when you look at the menu! It is pricey and it tasted so good! my son had French toast, and it came with fruit! The fruit was the freshest cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, and grapes I had ever seen!
here I had a burger that tasted like a steak! the garnish for it was some of the freshest produce! I thanked my server and knew that one day I would be back! probably a regular! When he brought the ticket to my table he called me by name and treated me with the utmost respect! Thank You for an experience I would fully recommend!

When there is a lot of open tables and booths one should never be placed by the restrooms where you can hear the toilet flush. Had to ask for bread after we ordered a bottle of wine. The food was yummy and the coffee very good.
