The Epic Theater has undergone a renovation that is impressive. When you walk into the theater,…read moreyou'll see there is no longer ticket sellers. They've been replaced with ticket kiosks. Next, whether you pre-purchased your tickets or want to purchase them there, there are at least five ticket kiosks to choose from. There is a ticket guide available (yes, it's not a robo, yet) to assist with your use of a kiosk as well as theater directions for your movie location. What was quite changed was the installation of 'self-serve' everything! No longer do you need to wait on a line for drinks, popcorn, and snacks! Everything is within arm's reach. The most surprising feature was the 'sticker shock' for the popcorn containers. Buyer beware .... Very, very pricey for even a small tub. $$$$ There is a 'guide' to assist with your selections and purchases. No longer exists a counter register, but kiosks to take care of business too. As we walked to our theater to locate our seats, it was another pleasant surprise to see so many lounge seats! They were quite nice, though hubby wasn't fond of the seat. I kicked back with my expensive bucket of popcorn and drink! Now that was quite nice! We really enjoyed the movie and the upgraded theater experience. Yes, we'll be back, however, we'll bypass the food service kiosks. ENJOY!

The temperature was pleasant…read more The concession area is now totally automated which is ok except that the food sits in warming boxes for extended periods rendering them inedible. My wife ordered a pretzel and a slice of cheese pizza online. When we got to the theater, they were both in the warming box. The pretzel was rock hard and the pizza slice was what you would expect after sitting in a warming box for an hour or more. I ordered a chicken sandwich and tator tots online. It was ready 20 after we arrived causing me to miss the first few minutes of the movie. The bun was stale and the chicken patty was burnt. The large tub of popcorn was stale and chewy. Buyer beware...eat before you go and/or only buy food that is in a bag or box.

Cast performances vary in level [Surprisingly, the best by a novice First-Timer ever on stage,…read moreyears ago] -- but the RCP's themes, plots & production materials are always lacking in Creativity, Originality, Subtlety, Sophistication, etc. . Very difficult for any experienced, 'Metro Urbanite' theatre-goer to sit through RCP's endless stream of "Knee-Slapping, Guffaw-Guffaw" Cornball Humor comedies-- i.e., the kind that appeals most to rabid fans of 'Andy Of Mayberry's' Gomer Pyle. Can we dispense with the RCP's ongoing OCD with Farce???

We were warmly greeted at reception, where we could get wine and drinks for donation, and peruse the work of local artists in the gallery while we waited for the show to begin. The seater seats 60-70, and instead of assigned seats, its first come, first served. If you get there early, they'll give you slips of paper to write your name and place them on your preferred seat to mark it reserved. The theater chairs were fine, but the rows were spaced just a bit too tightly. The play we came to see, "Nana's Naughty Knickers", was quite enjoyable. The cast did a great job and drew lots of laughs from the crowd. Well done, River City Players! We look forward to seeing you again!

5 stars - Absolute hidden gem on Beach Street! We had the…read morebest time at the Polynesian Fire Luau (Hawaiian Luau) on Beach Street in Daytona Beach and cannot recommend it enough. This place completely exceeded our expectations. Jim, the host, was fantastic -- so informative and entertaining as he shared stories about life in the Polynesian Islands. He kept the energy high the whole night and made everything feel warm and personal. Every single performer was incredibly talented. The dancing, music, and overall show were top-notch. A special shout-out has to go to Noah. When a torrential downpour hit as we were leaving, he went way above and beyond to help us get safely to our car. That kind of genuine care and hospitality is rare, and it really sealed the night for us. The wait staff was professional, kind, and attentive throughout the evening. The decor was wonderful -- you truly feel transported the moment you walk in. And the food? Solid and satisfying. Everything came together for a memorable night. This is a true hidden gem, and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for an excellent time -- you made our evening special!

We are typically in Daytona once a year, right around the same time, just about every year. This is…read morethe second visit where I've seen a movie, and both times, it was Wicked (the first, and second parts). This time was my first time ordering food, and I was pleasantly surprised with the chicken BLT wrap. It comes with beer braised chicken, avocado mayo, bacon, lettuce and tomato. It was flavorful, and felt slightly healthier since it wasn't fried. It also came with a plentiful amount of French fries. The theatre itself is very comfortable, with reclining seats, and trays that you can place in the cup holder of your chair, and make it easy to enjoy your meal or snack. Will probably be back next year, to check out whatever new release movie may be out at that point!

There was a huge sign…read moreoutside directing everyone to the entry door with bathrooms to the right as soon as we walked in. I hopped in the long line which moved very quickly. I had my QR code ready for scanning. I waited roughly 5-7 minutes to get inside the large conference room. Not bad! I found my group and took a seat. There was a large stage where the worship team lead us in praise music. Priscilla Shirer had a smaller stage built out in front of the original stage which put her closer to the audience. I thought this was a nice touch! I pre-ordered the box lunch as I didn't want to leave the conference center to find food. Or be tempted to buy junk food at the conference center food stands. When we broke for lunch I got in line to pick up my box lunch and bottled water. Once again I had my QR code ready. I waited roughly five minutes in this line. My friends and I took our lunches outside and found some shade. I enjoyed a Boar's Head turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cheese. There were mayonnaise and mustard packets in the box, plus a bag of plain kettle chips and a small soft chocolate chip cookie. The lunch was pricey at $22, but it was worth having it prearranged. And it was a decent meal. I enjoyed my time in Ocean Center and would definitely attend another event!

The Anderson Price venue is a wonderful place for a wedding, a party, or any other celebration…read more The building is old but accommodates a variety of group sizes. The kitchen is good but has only residential type appliances. There is a stage, dance floor, small ante and prefunction rooms. Our event went well after we managed to get by the "dragon" at the door. The custodian/janitor is very confrontational, proprietory, and downright rude. It made the setting up for our celebration difficult and frustrating. I recommend that if this person going to be the greeter, the first person you see on the day of your event, he should be required to take a class in how to deal with the people who are responsible for his services being required. Other than that we had a grand time and everyone left smiling. It is a great place for your event
