We go to the Candlelight about three times a year because we enjoy it so much. It is worth the hour to hour and a half drive for each of us. It is so much fun and so elegant. The food and wine are excellent, something you dont always get at a dinner theater! If you have never gone to one, you MUST go at least once. There arent many dinner theaters out there anymore with IMAX and multiplex movie cinemas to compete with. The reason this one is still alive is because it is so good. It is worth every penny. Go there for something special and different to do for a birthday, anniversary, or first date. Take your parents there for Mothers or Fathers day. Youll be the favorite son/daughter for a long time!

The building is old and antiquated but there lies the charm of the whole experience. The moment you enter you are reminded of old furniture that has been stained and polished. Old buildings are alive. They change and grow with time. They have a past and history. The food served was delicious and unique. Where else can you get a smoked salmon cheesecake, a melon ball salad, and a vegetable strudel? Im sure many places, but with a show? The show itself was fun and entertaining. The props shook when touched. The curtains didnt do what they were supposed to do at times, but that added to the fun, the charm, and whimsy of the whole night. I would go again and again.

A week ago, we went to see “Beauty and the Beast” at the Candlelight Pavilion with our lovely family. It is a wonderful musical romantic fantasy. A classic story of love and friendship. The acting is excellent, and each character is strong. Aww the voices and singing are so beautiful. The songs are still stuck in my head! They are pleasant and relaxing. We were extremely satisfied and waiting for more. We went to the evening show. Dinner seating is at 6pm and show starts at 8pm and last until about 10:30 pm. The food and service is always excellent. A must-see show! We had a Great time!

This was our first visit to this place and our first visit to any dinner theater for that matter. I was very impressed with the overall look and family friendly atmosphere, it was an older crowd considering the venue, but overall we had a really great time and are looking forward to revisting this restaurant on another occasion. One thing that really stuck out for me and my family was that this is truely a lost art and enjoyed the cultural aspect of what we experienced. Thank you again for your hospitable staff and continued success of this hidden gem.

Just got back from celebrating my 6 year anniversary with my husband, at first when we saw the outside of the building we werent sure if it was the correct place, but as soon as we stepped inside we knew it was. We paid for the anniversary special and when we arrived we were greeted with a dozen roses and champagne, the staff was really nice, the food was good, and the show amazing! My husband and I plan to come here every couple of months from now on :)

Oh my my!!! This places is a well kept secret in Claremont. It was actually my avid google map area scopings that lead me to find this treasure!! The productions are always amazing and the food served (included in ticket price) is delicious, but the dessert (not included in ticket price) is phenomenal!! I recommend the peach ice cream!!! They need to do more Shakespeare is my only request.

We just came back from seeing Guys and Dolls. Excellent show- We enjoy the quiet atmosphere for pleasant dining, listening to Michael Ryan play. The food is always good EXCEPT for the broccoli. Almost impossible to eat. Such a large piece and no way to cut it without shaking the whole table even tried using a steak knife to no avail. Much smaller pieces would make the veg. so much better.

Great place for entertainment & shows! I highly recommend the "Summer Series", which is an assortment of tribute shows..... James Garner does Johnny Cash fantastic!!!! The John Denver guy is also great & the DSB Band, as Journey is the greatest Journey tribute band out there!....PERIOD!!....& Eagles tribute band "The Long Run", are also great! Thanks & God bless.

We had a great summer with the concert series. The music was great the waiters were great the DESERT was fantastic. The only issue I had was this gentlemen and his lady that felt like dancing in the middle of the floor and got in the way of viewing the band when the best most best songs were played. Usually the dance floor if there is one is off to the side.

Every thing is great. We brought our 12 year grandson with us. The only thing I would change is on the childrens menu. The bake beans should be french fries or Mac and cheese for the young ones. We love tge Candlelight and the plays and trubute bands. Thank you Mick and everyone at Candlelight for offering us this great service

Great night out. This theater makes for a classy night out. Service is impeccable and the acting is great. Meals are excellent as well and make sure you order up a dessert to be served during intermission.... scrumptious. This is my favorite thing to do in the Inland Empire.

It is wonderful to have such a venue like this in Claremont. The Bollingers are an important part of this community. Thank you for 30 plus years of great entertainment. The quality is constantly improving . Get the Apple strudel for desert a la mode..so good!

Great dining n entertainment. Good selection of popular stage productions combined with a 3 course dinner and a full bar. Make this place a great idea for date nights, family dinner n theater, or going out with friends for a fun night out.

I have been there twice. Both times were wonderful. The food is fresh and taste great. The staff always attentive. Polite waiters who treat you like family. The shows are fantastic. A nice reason to get dressed up and yet be relaxed.
