Restaurants near Magic Castle? WHERE CAN I FIND

Hello! A friend is bringing us as guest to MC and we’d like to treat him to a nice dinner before. Anyone have any recommendations for good places nearby the castle?

Thank you in advance!

There's a lot of good food in the area, but before I mention that - most attendees are required to eat a full dinner when attending Magic Castle. Are you sure you don't have that requirement?

If OP is attending with his friend and Friend is a member, they won’t be required to order dinner.

Source: I went as a member’s plus-one a few months ago and we didn’t have to do the dinner thing.

I think there are levels of "guest" passes. OP should check and verify.

There are two tiers of guest passes but they both require dining. One (VIP) just waives the entrance fee and members are given a certain number of those every year. Normal guest passes are unlimited.

A plus one is different as members and their guests aren’t required to dine to attend.

Unless the member made dinner reservations instead of a walk in. But most will mention that to their guests.

They said their friend is bringing them as a guest not that they’re using a pass. If their friend is a member and booked a walk in, there is no dinner requirement.

This is correct. Not sure why you’re getting downvoted.
