    Visited Farmhouse Collective for the first time last week to watch the Colombia World Cup game, and…read morewe had a great experience! The atmosphere is fun, family-friendly, and welcoming, with several food options to choose from. I also like that you can purchase beer or wine on-site and enjoy it throughout the common areas. They also have a variety of games (ping pong, corn hole). Every employee we interacted with was friendly and positive. While there were some challenges during the Mexico game due to the unexpectedly large crowd, it's clear management listened to customer feedback and has taken steps to be better prepared for future events that will draw large crowds. I appreciate businesses that are committed to improving and creating a great experience for their guests. This is an amazing addition for the community! We'll definitely be back and look forward to spending more time here.

I love going at sunset and being able to just chill in the backyard area. Bring your family for a movie night, karaoke, sold out shows for great music, game night, country night...so much more! The calendar is always full of exciting things. Favorite food- Dada Kitchen- Spicy chicken rice cake noodle bowl. Sarap Social- pop pop tacos! Taco Stand- ANYHTING! Batter Rebellion- Blacksheep Burger Benedetto Gelato- ALL GOOD!

    This is a really fun place to see a show. They have a couple of bars and they serve food as well…read more The service was excellent. We ordered the jalapeño cheese brat dogs. They were tasty, juicy and a little bit overpriced. Overall worth it. The cocktails were very good as well. On this particular night, we were there to see a David Bowie tribute show and the cocktails were themed after Bowie songs which was a really cute touch. Parking in the area was easy and I luckily found an inexpensive spot to park. The sound quality in the venue was great and I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. I look forward to coming here again someday. The service at the venue was excellent! I had an issue where I lost something and security was so helpful. The ushers were fantastic, friendly, and caring. I could not have asked for a better experience.

    The Fox Performing Arts Center is a gem of a venue! Located in downtown Riverside, it's an IE local…read morespot with the old school charm of some of LA's venues, but without the drive. Walking in is a step back in time to when the golden age of the silver screen brought people en masse to classy, red carpeted movie houses. That vibe lingers as one enters the softly lit warm glow of the lobby with its period chandeliers, dark wood painted beams, and carpeted floors. Proper old school escorts take you to your seats. Inside the theater, the stage is flanked by drapes, and aesthetically pleasing lighting sets the mood. The seats are a rare find - wooden with lush velvety fabric. Surprisingly, they were more spacious than expected. Also surprisingly, our seats weren't attached to the floor! If we leaned forward, our two seats both moved. It wasn't a problem, just surprising. We also had one cup holder. It seemed they were randomly placed with several seats lacking them. Since we were here for a concert, let's talk about sound quality, which was spot on! The speaker system provided multidirectional sound that was clear and clean. No pops, distortion, or drops here. The bass gave that satisfying through the feet vibration without rattling our teeth. The temperature was comfortably cool and never stuffy. So, why a 4 instead of a 5? While seat/cupholder were kinda just quirky, it's a matter of layout and patience. As you pass through to the interior, there's a confluence of lines that, even though people queued up as best they could, merged with those trying to find a way through. The women's restroom line - which was clean with good sized stalls - comes first, with the bar just a few yards away, followed by merch table. The bar line ended up descending down the stairs on one side while the merch table went down the other. I honestly don't know how they could manage it differently given the space. Bar and merch lines moved slowly, and I was appreciative when another joined the single bartender to help customers. Someone said there was another bar, but I was too time invested to inquire. My friend eventually left the merch table after making no significant headway after 20 minutes. After the concert, the line was back down the stairs. Patience, politeness, and flexibility win the day here. Did this take away from our experience? No, not really. We were lined up outside and entered shortly after doors opened, an hour before showtime. These logistics would not keep me from returning.

The dancers were amazing, their energy was vibrant and fun, and everyone -- from the keiki to the kūpuna -- absolutely loved the performance. My baby boy was mesmerized, and it meant so much to me that he was celebrated with a true piece of his heritage. Vivian, who helped me plan everything, was wonderful to work with. He listened to my ideas and was so accommodating, even as my needs shifted during the planning process. He made everything easy and stress-free. I'd absolutely recommend them for anyone planning a lū'au or celebration filled with aloha.

From the incredible music and energy of the dancers to the delicious, authentic food, everything came together seamlessly. The entire experience felt truly magical. I even attempted a birthday speech in Hawaiian (pretty sure I butchered a few words ), but the aloha spirit they brought into the room made it feel easy and heartfelt. Their team created an atmosphere full of joy, culture, and love--and seeing my daughter smile the way she did said it all. If you want a celebration filled with real aloha, amazing entertainment, and outstanding food, I can't recommend Islanders Dancers & Hawaiian Catering enough. Mahalo for helping us make her 13th birthday so special!
