Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater

I have enjoyed my visits to the Candlelight Pavillion over the years. I've been going since 2006, when my husband, then boyfriend, took me there on our 1st trip to Southern CA. The Candlelight holds a very special place in my heart. I've seen great dinner theatre shows there, including their New Year's Eve show featuring performers from the Citrus Singers. I am sad that the Candlelight will be closing its doors in mid-March after 37 years. Thank you to the Bollinger family for providing fantastic family-oriented entertainment to the greater Claremont community. Thank you for providing wonderful opportunities for the talented musicians and actors who were fortunate enough to perform on your stage. Thank you for providing countless employment experiences for numerous individuals who served on your staff... their service was top-notch! You've done so much for your community and for so many people over the years. I wish you all abundant blessings as you move on to the next chapter.

So, so, so amazing. I love this place, this quality entertainment, and this food. Still the best theatre I've attended. And their Michael Ryan and friends Irish night was spectacular!

Loved the Irish dancers, singers, and the band! Wonderful food and service, as always. So sad to know they are closing. My grandparents brought the family (4 generations) when Candlelight opened. We will be bringing our grandchildren (the 5th generation) to Jubilee for the finale. Hope you find a new location so the tradition can continue!

Unfortunately this venue is closing its doors, with their last show March 20th. Tonight's show was Irish band, singing & abit of Riverdance too.

Wonderful dinner and great service. The play was really great! Loved the music, dancing, and the story. The set was beautiful and the cast first-class. I highly recommend this theater.

First time and loved it! Staff and employees all very personable. Food delish and entertainment marvelous. Look forward to making it a tradition. Can't wait to take granddaughters.

Fabulous food and service plus a fantastic show [Billy Elliott]. I love this place!

Candlelight Pavilion offers top rate entertainment and good food. Their servers are attentive and friendly. The management is present, warm, and welcoming.

I was working in the restaurant and entertainment industry in management at the time and understand logistics of keeping this type of event going. Having management that reacts poorly to handycap and those that have facilities that are in decline is definitely a poor business model. I have worked all the positions from back of house to front and I wouldn't ever treat a person that was clearly mentally confused as they have treated my family member. When they say family friendly they are specific on what family they they are friendly too. The manager humiliated my grandfather and completely rude to my family. There was no call for it but the manager seemed to be undaunted and proceeded anyhow.Food preparation and delivery could use work and organization. Having food at least warm as it is served is a good start. Perhaps getting a Expo person or on with more experience and same with a front of house manager to say the least.

I would've given this place five stars since it's so fancy and the people here are amazing... But there was a bug on my Sprite. But that's ok since it happened at such a lovely and fancy place. I actually give it four stars because I was scared that one of the chandeliers would've fallen me. I'm pretty sure they're tight but still ☠️.

I enjoyed the show and the staff was great.

The absolutely best dinner theater with great live shows which will make you happy. Wonderful courteous catering staff. Love this theater?

Saw the summer concert series. Hot August nights was a great show. I love this venue. The staff is so great. The food, drinks, and deserts are amazing. All and all a great experience.

I couldn't see the entertainment because of the spot I was sitting in the back of another person's head was covering the singer. I was back in a far corner in a booth with another person's head blocking the singer. Not worth it! The sound was way too high busted your ear drums.

I went for the summer concert of Hot August Nights. I believe it's a bit more for the theatrical performances. It was lovely though. Well worth the expense. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Definitely will go again.
