We visited Candlelight on Saturday 8/30/08 for a friend's birthday party, who had bottle service in one of the cabanas, right off of the dance floor. (Bad idea- if you ever get bottle service, reserve in the cabanas ABOVE the dance floor! To get in/out of your cabana takes forever- and random people think they can sit down on your sofas!!!) I didnt know such a place existed in Simi Valley, so it was a surprising and nice change from the hyped-up clubs in Hollywood (believe me, we done did Hollywood and are SO over it). We live in Northridge, right off the 118 so it was the shortest drive we have ever taken to somewhat of a club-atmosphere, outside of Hollywood. The place is really pretty-- but I do have to agree with the others in saying that the bar tenders/waitresses are freakin retards. Dont get so drunk that you cannot count your change or add!!! lol. ( I gave the chick at the bar a $50 bill for a $10 drink...yeah she gave me $20.00 back) Luckily, I have the talent of catching retards in the act while drunk, otherwise I would have been bamboozled!!! The dance floor is crowded- the lines to the guys/girls restrooms are crowded.. but isnt that at every bar/club???? Just deal with it. I've seen worse. I have no comment on the security staff, we didnt bother them, they didnt bother us. There are steroid-crazed security and bouncers EVERYWHERE at EVERY club.. dont take it personal. Me and my girls danced in our cabana, so we had plenty of room (I wouldn't even attempt to dance on the floor! No room!) I personally needed a couple shots of tequila in order to deal with the crowd. All in all, an alright place to chill, if you can get bottle service that's a plus. If you live in the local area (as in no more than 15 minutes away) go there and have a good time. Check it out. Oh yeah--- dont valet, the valet line on the way out is INSANE. Last word of advice to all the complainers & buzzkillers: dont start no sh!t and there wont be no sh!t!!!!!!!!!
