Fantastic little community theater that has been one of my favorite parts of living on the Monterey…read morePeninsula! My wife and I came to our first Rocky Horror Picture Show with them back when they were on Lighthouse and have been coming back every year since. Their productions are always good quality and light hearted. We have been to a variety of the food related events as well and everything was delicious and entertaining. I usually try to break down reviews into service, food/drink and abiance but I don't think that is very applicable for a theater, so I'll address those at the end. In general you'll come to Paper Wing to be entertained and if you're an introvert like me you may be pushed out of your comfort zone a bit, but it's always in good fun. This is a fantastic community third space and a great little spot that makes the otherwise straight laced Monterey Peninsula interesting. If you go for a play the food/drink is served at a bar in the back, it's nothing that will blow your mind but you're not there for the food/drink. Service always friendly and as efficient as bar service can be. The physical ambiance of the theater is pretty basic; However, there is an amazing painted mural of New Monterey back in the day up near the roof.

While I've only been to the Paper Wing Theater in person one time, I have ordered food from them a…read morecouple times and was pleasantly surprised at how addicting they are! On DoorDash, they offer Paper Wing's Vegan Sushi and it is so good! I end up gorging myself every time! I highly recommend the veggie tempura. With their creative take on traditional sushi rolls, this is one spot I hope stays around for a while. This is one vegan version of a sushi roll that's fun and fabulous! (Look out Queens!) Along with their vegan sushi, you should check out Paper Wing Theater's show schedule. They host Drag Bingo and other fun drag events. This place is definitely a good time! I highly recommend the Paper Wing for their food and fun.

Venue is beautiful. Staff at the bar are nice…read more We went to a show and there were 2 super talkative audience members during a comedy show. The bouncer to the left told them to be quiet but they didn't listen. They had been distracting for most of the show but I wish the workers took it more seriously. There were many of us that kept gesturing for them to keep quiet and nothing changed. If they didn't listen to the bouncer and it kept happening, they should have just kicked them out. This kind of dampened my experience since there is no management for the experience so if I'm going to go to a show and people can just do whatever, then I'd rather not go. I'll pass on this venue.

Beautiful venue, so beautiful. Great bartenders…read more Great sound. Damp toilet paper in 3 of the bathroom stalls (?) And apparently I cannot move to the last row against the back wall in a row of empty seats to sit down and watch the rest of the show when my feet hurt (3 songs from the end) while everyone else is standing up so I can't see. I HAVE to go back to my assigned seat (literally 6 seats to my right). Seriously hope you enjoyed your little power trip dude. Seriously put a shitty damper on the end of a pretty great Monday night show otherwise - thanks dude.

And I wonder if attendance will be sufficient, it feels like people want a local movie theater but not enough of them actually want to visit it. And I was a bit surprised at the condition of the theater. Most significantly, when I watched Project Hail Mary yesterday, the image was very misaligned with the screen. At the top and bottom, it spilled beyond the screen by a good foot. And the sides, it fell short of the edges of the screen by a half foot. On the right hand side, masking material was simply missing from the screen setup. In a charming local theater like this, I'm not expecting big theater video and audio quality (and neither are, and both are adequate). But the setup last night seemed janky, so much so that it makes me less likely to visit again.

But taking lessons with a professional and patient instructor like Leo who also makes my lessons fun and entertaining has given me the confidence to actually compete in ballroom dance competitions and perform in dance showcases. I will miss my "happy place" when I move out of the area in a few weeks. I HIGHLY recommend Pacific Grove Dance studio. Dancing is fun!!!

My son has recently become really interested in dance, and one day while we were walking by N Space…read moreDance, he stopped, looked through the window, and asked if we could go inside. As it turned out, a ballroom dance class was starting in just 10 minutes -- and without hesitation, Natasha welcomed him in with warmth and excitement. What could've been a nerve-wracking experience for a new student turned into something truly special. Natasha made him feel completely at ease right away. She treated him like he belonged there, and it was clear she has a natural gift for working with kids. During the class, I watched her create an environment that felt incredibly safe and supportive while still challenging the dancers to push themselves. She struck that perfect balance of structure and encouragement. Every child in the room looked focused, happy, and proud of themselves -- and that's all thanks to the way Natasha leads. We walked into N Space Dance on a whim, but we left feeling like we had found something really special. I can't recommend this studio -- or Natasha -- highly enough. She brings out the best in her students, and I'm so glad my son had the chance to be part of her class.

I can't say enough good things about N-Space. It's right across the street from Happy Girl Kitchen…read moreand it's become my true happy place. Natasha is a gem -- warm, intuitive, and so in tune with every dancer in the room. Whether you're figuring out your first salsa steps or working on refining your styling, she and the other guest teachers somehow meet you exactly where you are. And it's not just a dance studio. It's becoming a real hub for our community -- a place to connect, move, laugh, and let loose. I've met so many wonderful people here, and every class feels like a little celebration.
