Alhambra Dinner Theatre Review

This place was amazing. The food, the acting, and the service were all over the top astounding. Will come again.

If you go for the food, I understand. It's good. But this is a theater that pays performers. If they can pay them, they can pay for a live orchestra or pit band. The recorded music absolutely ruins the experience even though they choose good musicals. They tend to play favorites and cast the same faces, and some (only some) of those faces aren't very good. I want to reiterate that the recorded music is poor for a professional theatre. Every single community theatre in this town has live, professional musicians, even APEX, and they don't have a home venue.

That being said, the plays they put on are pretty good and worth going to see. The musicals just aren't up to the same standard despite the talent they reel in.

Fun evening. Good food and drinks and an attentive staff. A show that involved the audience made it well worth the ticket price. If you haven't been in awhile give it a try.

Great place to bring your significant other and have a great time.

Went to see chitty chitty bang bang. It was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. They even granted accommodations to other guests as needed in a timely manner.

Outstanding meal, as well as the musical talent in "Ain't Misbehavin'". Wonderful matinee.

Great comedy, good food, great service. Fun evening

This place is excellent food great and shows outstanding

Perfect night out great food and excellent shows...

Excellent show, Jeckel and Hyde! Food was a solid B+. Enjoyed my dessert. Can't wait to go back.

Tennessee River Band Alabama Tribute was excellent...and the Alhambra Theatre made them even better....Super Time. Thanks Alhambra Staff.

We've been here for a number of shows. The food is always very good with a nice selection of choices, including vegan and gluten free. There is a full service bar as well. The plays are well acted and well staged. Great entertainment!

A wonderful experience. Fantastic food and a marvelous performance.

The Alhambra is a gem. The shows are always well selected and the food is always good and tasty. I give it a 4 because food has been slow coming out in the past and the place needs a little tlc. The building is fairly old and the dining area could use some updating.

Thouroughly enjoyed the Alhambra experience. The show itself was perfect (A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline) but any show would be great in this theater. from where I sat (center stage right, second tier) there couldn't be a bad seat in the house. The menu, while limited, is superb. And the service is phenomenal. The dinner is served rather than buffet style which makes the experience more elegant. Super friendly staff overall and very attentive wait staff. There are not too many places like the Alhambra left in America, take advantage Jacksonville. Make sure you visit, at least once, on opening night. They host a cocktail party with hor dourves and champagne. Don't miss the best live theater in Jacksonville.

First time I've been in years. Wow!! The food was excellent and the show great.

Just as good as when I was a kid, the little mermaid was amazing

I Love Alhambra Theatere &Dining.
It is very nice.

I enjoyed everything except the dessert. It was too sweet. Other than that my only small complaint was the time between being seated and the show start was long. Kind of very...

Always a great evening with friends and family. The shows are always delightful and the menu great.

Always a great dinner and show! Well worth the experience!

Food was excellent. The service outstanding! The show was great. Love going to the Alhambra theater.

The shows are awesome, the food is delicious, & the people are friendly.

Great show and food!! I try to make it there 2-3 times a year.

Went for a school program so I don't know if this affected it, but the food was underwhelming. However, the performance was excellent.

If you wish to visit the place with the worst food and service in Jacksonville then this is the place! By far, the whole meal experience is the worst venue that I can think of to spend good money. The show can be entertaining but after the meal the only thing you want to do is go find decent food!

The Alhambra employs equity actors to create a high quality theater experience. It is definitely not your typical dinner theater.

Love this place.. great Date night. Food is backsliding in last year, to much frufru.. they need to stick to foods people enjoy not try to be a big city 5 star. Food is nosediving
.

We had wonderful meal and the show was fantastic! The waitstaff was attentive and freindly. This place is and has been absolutely amazing for many many years.

My first impression of the Alhambra Theater was amazing...the moment you first walk in the doors you just get that fancy theater vibe...the first show I went to was Beauty and the Beast and it was fantastic! :) The only criticism I would have is the time they have you eat then the wait for the show...it was pretty long sitting there after eating our desserts waiting for the show to start...but in the long run I didn't mind...the service was great and I will definitely go again! :)

Great food and Great shows. A lot of the good shows sell out fast so buy tickets early to get good seats.

It was awesome. Had never been before. Recommend it to everyone

Food is well above average. Shows are much better than community theater. Absolutely worth the cost. Pick a show and go!

The show was entertaining and costumes were great. We enjoyed our food especially the dessert.

Loved the musical.mama Mia. I have been going there for years. The food and atmosphere has improved so much.but tonight there was 4 of us. And 3 of us didnt care for the meal. Had to end up getting , the childs chicken fingers and fries. They were great.the food was to involved. Too many different ,sauces and spices and food mixed together. Maybe be a little more normal.nit yo try to be so different. Plain us good too. Marti Dewees

The show was good and as always the food was awesome Chef D is the bomb

Loved the atmosphere, incredible show and the food was awesome....!

Great food, people, experience and more. Went for a show on our anniversary they were very outgoing and went the extra mile to make it special for her yes we will be going again

I love this place! I have never had a negative experience there.

Great show & dinning. One of the best for this area.

My husband and I dined at Alhambra Dinner Theater tonight. The food was delicious. Mike and I saw Mamma Mia and it was the BEST SHOW we have ever seen there. We are season ticket holders and we have seen many fine shows. We would highly recommend Mamma Mia to all ages! Thanks to the cast, Tod, Craig, Chef, and all involved for an excellent evening!

Chef DeJuan is the best of the best!!! We attend plays often and every meal has been absolutely delicious!!! The plays are excellent as well!!

This place is awesome. Been here twice now and will go back again.

SadlyI can t give them a star minus! Horrible customer service (Blair) and misleading online gift card options. Buyer beware especially during the holiday season. Insensitive CROOKS!

Our first visit everything was awesome
Our recent visit in November not so good
The show was wonderful
But FOOD and SERVICE were a disappointment
My husband and I we one of the first to arrived but
Our sever was not he didn't arrive to our table for a long time
Finally we ordered a bottle of wine and dinner
Bottle of wine arrived
Our food did not arrive until very close to show time
And it was cold. Very disappointed we didn't eat it. We placed it in a to go box..
Another' sever came by and asked how was your dinner we tell him it is cold to eat he turns and walks away...

I truly enjoyed myself here and the food was delicious and the performance was phenomenal.

Always a nice experience. The performances are enjoyable and the food is tasty. If you are a picky eater they do have options including a vegetarian and gluten free meal. The show is well orchestrated and captivating. My wife and I have enjoyed many shows here on our date nights and have always meeting new people as tablemates. You have to try atleast once.

Great show 'Kiss Me Kate'! The Chilled Cucumber Bisque was delicious. Highly recommend. Hats off to the Chef!

Took my daughter for her Sweet 16. Purchased the birthday package. She loved it!

This is a wonderful eating and entertainment venue. Staff is wonderful. Food has been good on all our visits. Needs a little interior updating but is a minor . Love going here

Great place for date night. Great food and a great show!

I've always enjoyed this place. The food was excellent & The Addams Family was funny and entertaining

Nice facility, productions are well done (stage sets and actor quality), most seating allows adequate if not good visual of stage, parking is free, the menu, while diversified, provides many options that sound better than they taste.

A friend and I went to the Neil Diamond Tribute and had a blast. The food was great. Loved the show. Keep up the good work!!!

Food was great, service was great (thanks Chris!) Show was awesome (Godspell).

This was the 3rd time we've been to the Alhambra Theater. The first time was when they had a buffet style dinner (which wasn't really that good), but the last 2 times we went the food and service was EXCELLENT! Highly recommended

Love this venue. Food is excellent, great staff. etc

Really enjoyed myself. First time there but not my last. Food was good too.

Great Chitty Chitty Bang Bang performance. Looking forward to our next visit.

Always a wonderful experience. The food is now high end, a big improvement over the past. The service is great. And the shows are the best!

Had a great time! The food was fantastic and the show was amazing!

Grease is a fun show. The food is great also. We are so blessed to have this wonderful dinner theater in Jacksonville.

Shows are good entertainment and food is great. Seating could be a little less crowded to make it 5 star.

This is a great place for special occasions or just for a fun date night! The three course meal never disappoints, with a variety of choices, gluten free options, and usually a flavorful vegetarian option. Very large portions, and the bar is open before dinner. The shows are absolutely top shelf! Musicals, comedies, or tributes, they never disappoint.

They was going to get a 5 star but this is the reason why not. I took my fiance there to surprise here for her birthday . I ordered flowers and bear to be at our table that night. The show was Little Shop of horrors. Great show, food, drinks. The atmosphere was great along with the staff. Well they couldn't find my order. To find out, they place my order at the table for the Saturday show not Sunday. I was hurt because I had this set up so beautiful and it didn't go as planned. But the manager called and fix the problem. Will I go back. Yes. To see the smile and hear my love laughing at the play in spite of what didn't happen. Priceless...Wonderful..

Great food and an excellent musical . The cast was outstanding ! We would definitely recommend it .

EXCELLENT FOOD AND SHOW EVERY SINGLE TIME! 100% RECOMMEND!

Needs to be remodeled good food play was ok they need to sink some money into the Interior

I have going to the Alhambra with my kids for years now that Criag has taken over its even better than it was before. Keep it up Alhambra!!!

1. Was seated in great seat on floor then moved after salad came to a table where I couldn't see. 2. The floor tables seemed to be served last. 3. Was seated with 2 strangers that clearly didn't enjoy anything. 4. 59 dollars for bean soup really. Food cold I tried the prime rib and chicken. Sent both back!! 5. Even the cast members didnt look happy to be there either. Sorry just wasnt entertaining the place is old and musky smelling
