The show and interaction were great and so were the actors. Definitely had you guessing who was the sleuth. Sitting was comfortable and the food was okay. The dessert could have been more homemade-tasting. Drinks were reasonable.
The only debacle was the valet payment parking process and the experience of the check in/out attendant. He was very inattentive or uninformative about how the digital payment platform operates. Also, beware that there is a payment fee attached that no one tells you about! Oh, and cash is Not King anymore! for paid parking 🅿️. Only card payment excepted for parking.
Price per person: $70–80
Noise level: Quiet, easy to talk
Group size: 5-8 people, Not sure
Wait time: No wait
Parking options: Paid parking lot, Valet
