The best part:
You won't go home hungry.
Show up right at 5:30 (or before) on a weeknight in order to take advantage of the appetizers and pre-show. Last night's appetizers included veggie sticks, fruit, crab salad, meatballs, chicken wings, cheese/crackers/cold cuts and pasta. Dinner was chicken and beef or chicken and shrimp/scallop, with rice and veggies on the side. Dessert was an peach cobbler with ice cream and coffee. Your dinner comes with unlimited soda or water, or 2 beers, or 2 glasses of wine. After the show, they had a table with coffee and cake in the lobby.
Crazy! My friends and I were so stuffed after eating all that food that we were almost sick. None of the food was the greatest tasting food ever, but I've had much worse. It was about Costco quality for appetizers and maybe Sizzler quality for dinner.
The show itself was incredibly interactive. If you have kids, definitely bring them with you. They'll have a great time. And don't be shy about volunteering for stuff! It's so much fun!
The show itself has a lot of action and some Cirque du Soleil-esque entertainment. There is also a cheesy romance and family drama plot. In addition, there's singing and dancing (some of it intentionally very bad).
We only paid $20.09 for our tickets last night and I totally thought it was worth the price. (Btw - the $20.09 promo is for January 2009 only. Mention the code "2009" when you book.) They recommend tipping your server $5 per person.
I'd definitely recommend this over Medieval Times. There was more food and the show was so much more entertaining. Oh - and most importantly - the drinks were cheaper! They still weren't cheap, but it wasn't too bad. And my drink, a Gypsy Juice with Stoli Peach, lemonade and rasberry liquer, was yummy. And ginormous.
Yes, I'd go back. I'd go back next week if I only paid $20.09 again. But if I had a fun group of people to go with, who appreciate pirate humor, I'd go back with just a $4 off coupon. It was that much fun!
