"Not really the anniversary vibe"
Went here for our anniversary. it just didn’t feel that special. The concept is fun, sure. But it was loud. A bit rushed too. Hard to relax and actually enjoy dinner together. Food was just okay. Not bad, not great. I can see it being better for a group night out. But for a special occasion? I’d probably choose somewhere else next time

"Decent, but I expected a little more"
Some of the actors genuinely made me laugh, but a few moments felt kind of forced to me. Overall, it was decent and I didn’t regret watching it, but I expected it to hit a bit harder. I’m curious if other people felt the same way or if I just went in with too high of expectations.

"Fun Night Out with a Friendly Crew"
Had a really good time at The Dinner Detective. The staff were super friendly and easy to chat with, which made the whole night feel relaxed and not awkward or overly scripted. I’ve been to a couple other dinner mystery shows, and this one felt a bit more laid-back and personal compared to some that seem more rushed or cheesy. There were a couple of small slow moments here and there, but nothing that ruined the experience. Overall, it was a fun night and I’d definitely go again.

"Went here with a few friends, and..."
Went here with a few friends, and the menu had something for everyone, even my super picky friend. The food came out hot and tasted better than I was expecting. There were maybe one or two things that weren’t totally perfect, but nothing that really took away from the night. We had a fun time and I’d definitely go back.

"Such a fun night out"
My wife and I went to The Dinner Detective and had a really good time. I loved how the actors were mixed in with everyone, because half the time you’re sitting there wondering who’s actually part of the show and who’s just trying to enjoy dinner... The audience participation ended up being way more fun than I thought it would be too, not awkward like I was kind of expecting. We laughed a lot, stayed into the mystery the whole time, and kept second-guessing everyone around us...

"Heads up: booking was easy and accessibility was solid"
Just a quick heads up for anyone considering this place: booking was straightforward, and I didn’t have to click around forever to find the basic info. The venue details were clear enough that I could plan ahead without stressing too much.

At the show, I asked staff a couple of accessibility questions, and they helped without making it weird or uncomfortable. It might sound minor, but that kind of thing can really make or break the night, so I’d definitely say it’s worth knowing before you go.

"Fresh Food and Worth the Order"
I’m usually a little cautious when trying a new place, especially with takeout, because you never know if the food will arrive tasting fresh or if the portions will be disappointing. But this was a good experience. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were solid, and I didn’t have any complaints.

"Overall, it was well organized. Everything…"
Overall, it was well organized. Everything was easy enough to follow, which I really appreciate because it’s only fair to make things clear and simple for people trying to use the service...

"Honestly, the Comedy Was Way Funnier Than I Expected"
I went in without really knowing what to expect, i wasn’t sure if it would be my kind of thing, but the comedy ended up being genuinely great. The jokes came fast, the timing was sharp, and the actors had us laughing for most of the night...

"Super fun night, totally worth it"
I went in not really knowing what to expect, but the mystery sucked us in quick. There were some funny twists, and I kept guessing the wrong person every time, which actually made it more fun. The food was decent too, nothing crazy, but good enough. The game is definitely the main reason to go though... the actors blended in so well it was kind of wild. Easy 5 stars from me

"I had a decent time at the…"
I had a decent time at the show and there were definitely some enjoyable moments, but the ticket price felt a bit steep for what it was. I’m glad I went, but I’m not sure it was the best value for the money.

"Super easy night out"
We ended up choosing The Dinner Detective mostly because the location was just really convenient for us. It was easy to find, parking was easy, and after work we didn’t have to drive all over the place, which was a big deal. The show was fun too, definitely fun, but the simple location and hassle-free parking are what made me say yes in the first place. I’d go again

"We had such a great time. It was…"
We had such a great time. It was genuinely funny, and I’m sure they knew exactly how to throw us off just when we thought we had things figured out. The whole dinner had us guessing, laughing, and second-guessing everyone’s little comments like they were all secretly clues. Really fun night.

"Booking was easy, but I got a little uneasy after paying"
Booking the tickets was super quick and simple, and everything went through without any problems. I’ll admit, right after I paid I felt a bit unsure and kept wondering if the confirmation would actually come through, but it did, so it worked out fine.

"Such a fun cozy mystery vibe"
I really liked the whole feel of the place. It was cozy and fun without being all stiff or overly fancy. The tables looked really nice, and the room had this cool old-school mystery vibe going on. The lighting was just right too, kinda made the night feel extra special

"Fun show, but the drinks were slow"
I had a good time overall, the show was fun and definitely kept me entertained. Maybe I just caught them on an off night, but the drinks took forever to come out, and getting refills felt almost impossible. I don’t know, maybe I expected too much, but that part was a little frustrating.

"Fun Night, But the Clues Were Way Too Obvious"
We had a good time at The Dinner Detective, and I’m not saying it wasn’t fun, because it definitely had its moments. But i was expecting the mystery to be a little more challenging. Like, isn’t the whole point to make us really think and second-guess ourselves? Some of the clues were fun to piece together, but a lot of them were so obvious that we figured out where it was going way earlier than I hoped. It’s still a nice night out and the experience was entertaining overall, but I just wish the mystery had a little more bite to it
