The Alhambra Theatre & Dining in Jacksonville is in the national spotlight once again.
On Tuesday, the Alhambra was presented with an official U.S. House of Representatives Proclamation recognizing the theater's award from USA TODAY, naming it the best dinner theater in America.
In addition, Rep. Aaron Bean recognized the theater in a speech on the House Floor in May. He said, "Since opening its doors in 1967, the Alhambra has brought Broadway to Florida's First Coast, hosting a wide variety of shows, musicals, comedies, and tribute acts.

The Alhambra, located at 12000 Beach Boulevard, is the nation's oldest continuously-operating dinner theatre.
