Very poor production
Not quite sure where all these excellent reviews come from. I went on Saturday with three friends for our 60th birthdays. We could not fault the pick up and the food. They were both amazing although we found out the taxi driver was also the chef! Then later he was the cleaner on stage too. As for the acts. I felt like I was back to the days when I watched my children’s school productions. Nothing flowed between acts, the costumes were of poor quality and didn’t fit particularly well. (one girl had a rip in her tights) The only people who were whooping and clapping were the organisers who were sitting behind us. The one act that stood out was the main singer. She had an amazing voice and some lovely stage costumes. All in all if we hadn’t got transport booked we would have walked out before the end as did another couple. A huge disappointment and definitely £77 each wasted.

A "Spectacular" evening catered to adults
I booked the show with no expectations but wanted to do something a little different than spending another night on the main strip of hersonissos. It didn't disappoint! Although I didn't book the show with food there was a drink included in the tickets I booked. The food did look really good and most people had booked the full experience with food included. The was even a preshow during the meal. It was a great evening showcasing exceptional talent and it was clear a lot of hard work had been put into the experience from all the staff involved. Highly recommend for those looking for something a little different to do but would advise to check availability in advance as it runs only two days a week.

Alar Dinner Show - have a night out in Crete which you won't forget and certainly won't regret
This review is published having just seen the final Troy and Spectacular shows of the 2025 season.
Should you see these shows in future seasons? Well if you don't you are missing out on what will be a highlight of your Crete holiday that you'll never forget.
They aren't just shows , nor are they simply meals with a show. This is what I'd call a complete experience where everybody is welcomed by the amazing Virginia Carbone and her wonderful team as if they've known you all your life.
From arrival at the venue to the moment you depart you will see how much they value each and every visitor.
I know what many reading this will be wondering. Is it worth paying for the meal with the show? Well, if you don't you'll see the main show yes. But you'll miss out on additional performances and features which make this experience so unforgettable.
I am not one for spending so much normally but having seen Troy there was no way we were going to miss Spectacular.
The meals are great, the cast are incredible, their skills are amazing.
The lovely Virginia Carbone is both a talented performer herself and a creator who cares passionately about her productions and her customers.
I have reviewed so many shows over the years but this is the first time I've come away from a production feeling on a complete high from both the performance and of feeling cared for as a customer.
Next season.... don't hold back ….. just book and enjoy. You'll have a great night out !!

A must-see from Greece!
We went to see SPECTACULAR. A very good surprise!! The show was incredible, high-level acrobatics, well-rhythmic dances with music and singers. The show is accompanied by excellent catering and Service.
I can only recommend the Alar Dinner Show!

A Brilliant Evening of Entertainment
From start to finish, Alar Dinner-Show Theatre delivered a fantastic experience. We were warmly welcomed at the entrance and shown to our table, which immediately set a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The evening began with some enjoyable live songs before moving into the main show. What followed was a vibrant mix of theatre, cabaret, aerial acrobatics, gymnastics, dance, and illusionary magic. The performances offered variety and excitement throughout the night.
This is more than just a show—it’s a full evening of entertainment that caters to a wide range of tastes. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys live performance, great atmosphere, and a touch of magic. All choreographed and directed by the vivacious Victoria.

Thank you. We are glad that you enjoyed every bit of the evening out at Alar Dinner-Show.
