The Candle light Theatre is such a lovely place to attend quality performances, outstanding food, and excellent service. During this quarantine it has hardest to miss these events. We always take family with us and have many memory moments with them. We are season ticket holders and will sign up again for next year when they offer shows. You’re missedEveryone! Praying you can all hang in there until you’re allowed to reopen!God bless you all!!!!Sharon

Was brought here for my birthday. The show was Always Patsy Cline.The theatre is very clean and beautifully maintained. The manager and staff are friendly, helpful and extremely professional. I was seated at a table with regulars which was helpful when ordering dinner entree and desserts.The show was wonderful and worth the price of admission. The salmon entree was the best salmon I have enjoyed in the past 6 months.I would try a different dessert on my next visit and would most likely try to get a seat where I am facing the stage, having to turn or angle my back to watch the show was a little uncomfortable.

Just saw Don Quixote. The show was preview night so no entree, just desert and beverages. (Frankly, I would have preferred the appetizers and beverages, but thats just me). How about desert as an option? Anyway, enough about the food. Whats more important is the absolutely fabulous production I saw tonight. I have seen many outstanding productions presented here over the years. However, in my opinion, this one hit it out of the park. I very much enjoyed the interpretation. I loved the singing and acting of the entire ensemble. The main characters were wonderfully convincingly. They pulled at my heartstrings all night. It was just a marvelous depiction of Don Quixote. Please give us more like this. Thank you for an exceptional evening.

I truly enjoyed this place the cast for the Christmas show made it so enjoyable. From the costumes, the musical and the stage settings were all wonderful. The food was great had the crab cakes as an appetizer along with salmon main course the dessert all looked delicious but I enjoyed the lemon meringue. To wash it all down had a sangria cocktail which hit the spot. Overall very satisfying plan to do this again..

Food, service, ambiance, show... this is our favorite spot. We drive from Huntington Beach to Candlelight because we have a better time there than anywhere else. If they charged three times as much it would still be worth the drive. Its a smaller stage, but the production and performances are top notch.

I brought two first-time guests. We all really liked the dinner, but the show stole the show. Not a bad or mediocre actor or singer in it. What a group of singers! As wonderful as it all was, I was most impressed by John LaLonnes acting. Im a long-time Candlelight patron, and I was blown away by his acting and singing. I havent seen anything but great shows here, but this one was probably the best yet. My guests will be back, and so will I. Keep up the great work!

As always, the Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater is a worthwhile and fun experience. The menu selection is ample, and the service is very good. The shows are also of high caliber. The second half of this particular show was a bit too loud, but it was an excellent Elvis Presley tribute show.

This place has the best entertainment, especially if you like musicals. The food is consistently good. Ive never had a bad meal. The price includes the meal and play. (Typically 60-65 dollars) Its well worth it. This place also has free parking.

This last show we went to was The Long Run, and it was excellent. The quality of the performances, the staging and sound, and the professionalism of one of the best Eagles tribute bands is a must see. We are always amazed at the talent Candlelight brings in for their concert series. The theatrical shows are dependably good and much better than a dinner theater needs to be. The food is good, not fantastic... But for the price? With a good show? The place delivers.

I have been here several times in the last 15 - 20 years. It is always a very pleasant experience. The meals are great and well presented. Staff is always equal or better than many high end Beverly Hills restaurants. The musicals/entertainment are always top notched. Special kudos to the guitarist performing during the dinner time (very talented and excellent selection of music)

Went here to see a family play. Theyre usually family oriented events so everyone is welcoming. It definitely feels like a senior moment since most of the staff is senior, however they have always been great. The theater also feels a little dated but family friendly.

The opening guitar player was amazing. Love the musical, the costume where bright and colorful. The cast was on point the entire play. All I can is love love love. Really hate to mention the food service was slow and very unorganized. We sat down andpeople where already eating their salad. We asked the wait staff for our salad. We where the almost the last to be served. Worst service I have seen even. Maybe short staffing. It ruined the evening for us. The really sad part the birthday celebration was forgotten by the Pavilion. Had to remind management of this. Only one stars for you this day...
