I had to literally cuy my review in half because citysearch said it was too long.\r
The food. Eh. It starts out with a simple beverage list of coffee, tea, and soda. No alcoholic drinks at all and you may not BYOB during this 2 hours event surrounded by bars and a winery. I can only imagine that from the flier with religious statements that the owners are teetotalers. This came as quite a shock. In their defense it is advertised as G rated fun, but they put the G in G. Of the 40 guests, there were once single 5 or 6 year old boy. The salad is small, and what you expect might come out of a bulk bag from Sam?s club. Wilted, unimaginative, and with 2 choices for dressing. Ranch and spicy Italian. You essentially have the choice of chicken or steak (rumor has it shrimp is available), at a 3.00 up charge for the steak. Mind you, this is not what I call steak. I?d call it a 6oz skirt that had more fat on it than I could imagine. Unseasoned, reasonably tender, but so unimaginative I was amazed. The steak is smothered, and I mean smothered in bowtie pasta. No bread served prior to the meal, big error in my opinion. A copious amount of bread comes on the single (all non-matching) dishware loaded with the other tasteless food. I tried the chicken as well. Decent, but no fanfare. No flavor whatsoever. Frankly, if you were at a traditional restaurant and had this meal you would be complaining to the owner (who happens to be serving.) \r
The show. My spouse was part of it and has been involved in murder mysteries before. I can only assume this script was not professionally written as so many of them are. The plot was frankly amazingly cheesy, the props of minimal investment (read: STYROFOAM hats!) and I simply watched this event in utter amazement that anyone could consider this entertainment. When 10:00 rolled around I thanked God that this nightmare and absolute waste of a good Saturday evening was over. \r
Pros: Ample parking
Cons: Everything else
