    Kristen D.

    I was able to spend several hours in a place of business, learning just how special it is that Santee has an exclusive performing arts venue: Off Broadway Live. My work hosts several lunchtime workshops there throughout the year, but otherwise, it was embarrassing to admit to owner, Steve Rolf, that I had yet to join him for an evening show he puts on (and saying it's just "a show" is an understatement). I traded out my husband for a date night with my mom to see OBL's "Chicago II" Encore Supper Club performance. For what may seem a bit mysterious to a passerby, walking into OBL on a Saturday night was perfection from start to finish. Greeted by Steve's wife Jennifer at the door, we were escorted to our seats to start what turned into a memorable evening. The inviting venue, the incredible food and the TALENT in the show made for a beautiful experience, all less than a mile and a half away from my home. I left thinking, "I found out how wonderful these shows are right in time for Valentine's Day, because this place is the premier date destination in town, and it's been right under my nose for years!" Thank you Steve and Jennifer, I felt like I walked into your home when I walked into your business, and that is something I hope every owner in Santee strives towards achieving. I invite all of you to look at their calendar of events and find something that catches your attention as each show promises to be different from the last. Then, get ready for a night out on the town right here, in the best town there is!

    Food is terrible- cold deli meat sandwiches classifying as dinner. Entertainment is cruise ship style in the 80s.

    SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE!! My first time at a murder mystery and didn't really know what to expect but…read moreI had sooo much fun!! It is very interactive so for that reason, I think it's definitely an acquired taste. The actors were incredible and really knew how to keep the audience engaged. I really wish the actors had a microphone because even though the room is small, it echos and when anybody at your table laughs, you miss what they are saying. I also did not like how close we were sitting to each other at the table. They should have less people at each table and bring more tables in. The food was the reason I took off a star. The food was incredibly disappointing. For $70, you would think they could serve better food. It's a 3 course meal and all were bad. The appetizer was like 4 tomatoes with balsamic. Not a salad and very small for an appetizer. I'm really glad they had a pita bread and hummus bar in the beginning because that kept me full until the main course. I got the vegetarian option which was pasta with veggies but the pasta was so over cooked it was like mush. I've never had pasta that soft. My bf got the chicken and he also felt it was too dry and it wasn't served with anything with substance like mashed potatoes or veggies or anything. Just some piece of kale. Dessert was cake. I thought it was cheesecake but it was more like coffee cake. Also very bland. No frosting or anything, just a little whip cream. Other than food, it was so much fun!!

I can easily rent something, wear my jammies, have a full meal and drinks in bed... but The LOT makes it worth getting out of the house. I still wear my jammies and slippers here and feel extra comfy. The reserved seating is a huge plus, and the recliners are so comfortable you feel like you're lying on a bed. With the push of a button, someone comes to take your order -- food, drinks, whatever you want. Yes, it's pricier than a standard theater, but the experience feels special. The theater itself is clean, small, and elevated compared to a typical movie theater. Each seat has its own little lamp and a swivel table for your snacks or dinner, which makes the whole setup feel boutique and cozy. I haven't tried the outdoor bar, restaurant, or café yet, but I love that they offer all of that in one place. This is the perfect spot for movies that deserve surround sound, a big screen, and a shared audience to laugh or cry with. And a tip: if you join their free rewards program, you can snag discounted tickets -- a great mid‑week treat. I would recommend getting their early to order your food/drink before the movie starts so you don't have to get intruppted mid movie! They also have a location in La Jolla that's just as nice, and they host fun watch parties and themed movie events, so check out their website to see what's coming up.

However, both food quality and service have been declining. They recently debuted ordering directly from your phone. But there's a tension between going that route and the servers. The servers are more proactive, almost aggressive about getting to you before you begin a phone order. And if you politely refuse, then you're persona non grata to them. Case in point, this weekend we watched the latest Star Wars movie. I'd ordered ketchup and ranch with two of our entrees. Neither were delivered with ranch, only ketchup. When we pressed the button for help, it took a while for the server to come. She understood our request for ranch dressing. But it never came. My fried chicken sandwich was dry and barely edible. The fries were good though, despite not getting the ranch I asked for.

Here's what did and did not go well. Movie was great and what we expected. One of the recliners was not working properly, but enough to get by. Asked the server if they had old school chips, jalapeños and yellow cheese nachos. Wrong! it was white dip with stale cold chips, and no jalapeños. Ordered their "new" pizza sticks. Was told they were running short on Mariana sauce so they gave me ranch. Not exactly what I wanted or needed. BTW they are just mozzarella sticks with pepperoni inside. I ate both of sticks but wasn't aware it was only two sticks. Not worth the money. Bathroom: ladies have 3 stalls - one had a floor sign stating out of order, one had a broken seat, and the only one working someone got sick all over it. They never cleaned the bathroom for the two + hour duration we were there. Terrible service standards especially with sanitation. I thought places are supposed to check them at least every 30mins. Not going back anytime soon, too bad

But this day does make it more romantic! A minor 5-10 minute wait as we stepped out of our Uber to the front entrance of the club adjacent to the restaurant. Our lovely hostess greeted us & escorted us downstairs to pick our table. There were no specific table reservations, but all seats are good, as it's a small venue.

A masterfully, monstrous mix of meat & seafood, all on top of some bomb-a** Saffron Bomba Rice! There's even a lobster tail in case you're still hungry! Queue the Flamenco show. The two dancers were elegant, the music was powerful, the singer sublime! Enjoy your dinner to a phenomenal 2 part show put on by very talented artists! We got to meet them after the show, as they personally thanked practically every guest! Elegant as their artform! Lest we forget the dessert! The Flourless Chocolate Cake was just the right amount of sweetness to cap off the dinner & show, as we shared our own sweet nothings. Love & Chocolate, a perfect combo, just like my beloved beauty & her humble narrator. As the performers were packing up & saying their final goodbyes, the staff was clearing the space for the last part of our adventure...dancing! A brief 15ish minute wait back outside & back inside we went! Got a great spot up front by the stage, but be aware the only sitting will be done by the VIP section. I believe it's bottle service only, but you can ask. We didn't, as we did not intend to sit at all! We boogied down, baby! The DJ did a great job keeping the vibe alive. Perfect ending to a perfect night. *Caveat - The dinner menu has other options & several a la carte items, if you so choose. Check their website for specific package info. You cannot go wrong. TL:DR - Never give up on love!

The actors are hilarious and quite talented as each would play more than one role. I laughed so much during the entire show.

Everyone was a good sport about it and it made it that much more memorable. But, I'm so glad I was out of reach to be called upon. Service was great. Food was edible, but who's there for the food anyway. It was my birthday and they made sure to embarrass me by having everyone sing Happy Birthday to me. (thanks, guys - I hate you). The actors and actresses all put on a great show and allow you to take photos with them at the end. Overall, it was a really fun night and would definitely recommend it.
