So much to offer at a great venue in Santa Clarita, yet so many opportunities to improve. Dressed up for a memorable New Years celebration, we paid $68 each to have a table for the evening. After fees and taxes, it was more like $89 each. The view of the stage was excellent, only partially blocked by one support beam. The seats behind the control booth are all well positioned on a raised platform with a subtle stadium effect, each row 7in higher as you move to the back. Be sure to not sit right behind the control booth. Surprisingly, subwoofers are built into the back of the bench seating. So, If you lean back you can feel the bass pumping through your body. The flair of the eighties cover band was enhanced by good lighting and plenty of laser effects. CC TVs are mounted high throughout the room for extra perspectives.
If you reserve a table you are obligated to purchase dinner for $30, $40, or $50 per plate. Every plate includes a small dinner salad drenched in dressing and over powered with onion flavor, mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic, sauteed vegetables, dessert, and a meat. The meat determines the price. They also offer a vegetarian lasagna. I ordered a medium ribeye, and my wife opted for salmon. The ribeye was cooked correctly, however, it was the toughest poorest piece of steak I have ever tried to eat. The salmon was tender and well flavored. I should mention I've eaten there once before and enjoyed the lemon chicken.
BRING A COAT. On a cold December evening the Canyon ran their AC on high for 2 hours until the band started playing. It was like a wind storm and everyone was cold.
Order all the drinks you'll want from your waiter before they go off duty, just before the performance starts. We made a mistake and wanted another drink later in the evening. I waited over 30 min in the bar line! Really!
More hearty party goers paid general admission $35, but had to stand every minute.
I like the venue. I'm grateful we have a Canyon Club in Santa Clarita. I just wish they could improve the food, air conditioning, and bar service so customers can fully enjoy the evening.
