Husband and I rarely venture out past 7pm, and driving into town takes some serious ingestion of Stok and Advil. I was happily surprised to see Palikū listed as a venue for a Candlelight Concert, and on an early Saturday evening at that! Attending a Candlelight Concert is a wonderful ASMR experience: contemporary music adapted to classical form, venue illuminated by hundreds of flickering candles. Tonight's featured artist was Bruno Mars, performed by string quartet composed of musicians from the Hawai'i Symphony Orchestra. Set list was a little bit over an hour - the wonderful quartet nicely acquiesced to a hana hou. I hope to drag husband to more of these!

I consider the Paliku theater to be the most beautiful theater on Oahu. It is located on the…read moreWindward Community College campus with ample free parking in a large lot right next to the theater and adjacent areas. I saw the Phantom of the Opera at this theater about 6 years ago and just recently saw The King and I. They were both wonderful Productions. The theater is air-conditioned with clean restrooms located just outside. You must climb two or three flights of stairs depending on where you're sitting. On the second floor Lobby level there's an area for a reception. During the intermission of The King and I, there were soft drinks, candies and even red and white wine available for purchase or donation just outside. Be sure to reserve your seats early and the fifth row are the best recommended seats because it is the first row that is elevated and you have a partition in front of you to rest your program. No one is directly in front of you at your eye level.

I'm a Castle Grad, so I am proud of the center and all the wonderful productions Mr Bright put on…read more I went to see a one woman play--written, directed, performed and produced by one amazing young woman. The production level is so fantastic, it is better than most productions I have to pay quite alot to see in Gothenberg. It was still kind of homey since the lobby was full of baked goods and juice to fundraise, so that was the only clue that it wasn't a professional production. The theatre is large but was packed, so it was neat to see so many involved in theater. The orchestra of 4 the actors (three) and all the crew did such a great job. I found many of the songs reminded me of others from World's Greatest Showman, Hamilton, Les Miz, Wicked, Up, etc. but coming from a 17 year old, it was still quite impressive. I heard they are building a similar center on the other side of the island and think it is fantastic. Hawaii is so full of talent!

I love the variety of events that are held here from classic plays to musicals to haunted houses! I don't think I've seen any other program like this in the state. The people here are so passionate in what they do and it really shows in the impressive quality of performances they produce. They hold varies fundraisers throughout the year to keep the program going so stop by and check it out for yourselves :)

Absolutely blown away…read more This place was recommended to my partner and I by multiple people so we put in the reservation. Upon arrival, we were asked for a password (which he could not find in his emails hot fortunately they gave us grace lol) then let in. The place was simply lit and each table had a literal gas lamp lighting the space. On the second floor there was a man playing the sax. It was SO gorgeous, Our waitress was great, we were easily influenced by all her suggestions and ended up getting a great meal. We started with drinks. My partner didn't hear her say that the bottom of the menu was "spirit forward" and ordered a VERY strong drink. It actually made for a very giggly and eventful dinner so it was a very happy mistake lol. I got the espresso martini. It was a little creamier than I expected but still tasted really good! I'd order again. Our first appetizer was the Wagyu carpaccio- topped with cilantro (the menu said dill but I saw/ tasted none), fried capers, and caviar. It was surprisingly light and refreshing, basically a meat salad. A beautiful start to our meal. Our second (yes, second) appetizer was the escargot and bone marrow. This was our personal star of the show. A complete 180 to the carpaccio. This was rich, heavy, and decadent. The tomato added a nice balance of acidity to counteract the fatty bone marrow. The escargot was cooked perfectly, no chew but soft and buttery. One of the best bites of my life. The salad it came with was just we needed with it. After this, there was quite a wait until our main entree. A fire dancer came, and danced on the bar counter. I'd say we waited a good 20 minutes until it came out. But we were only impatient because we had plans after dinner. Our main course, which we shared, was the King Arthur- beef Wellington with a side of crab legs. The crab did come out during our appetizers which I appreciated. I only ordered this because I never had beef Wellington before and really wanted to try it LOL, my partner said it was better than the one at hella kitchen! The waitress also talked us into ordering a side of Mac and cheese, and thank GOD she did. It came out piping hot and saucy. There was a slight note of truffle, but it wasn't overpowering, and a nice crust of cheese and breadcrumbs on top. Everything was delicious and generously portioned. You definitely get a bang for your buck. It's a hefty buck but it's so worth it.

Our group of 7 went here on a Monday night. We made a reservation a couple days in advanced and…read morereceived the secret entry code a day before. Overall: It was a really cool experience. Live jazz music was a plus. Food was really good, especially for the portions of it. At the end we couldn't even get desserts since everyone was stuffed but happy. Best dish of night would be the Black Truffle Risotto. We would definitely come back just to get this dish alone. It could have been a 5 stars experience if one of our servers didn't seem to rush things to clear up the tables. Got asked a couple of times if dish was done tho the person who ordered that was in the restroom.. and was asked to pass the utensils to her in not a very nice tone.. Our main server however was very nice and helpful.
