$69 for a Four-Course Murder-Mystery Dinner for Two with a Bottle of Wine ($139.95 Value)

The Dinner Detective's cast of sleuths and servers dish up a four-course meal alongside a helping of mystery spiced with impromptu humor. Guests arrive to mingle, sample hors d'oeuvres, and begin questioning their fellow diners as the dressed-down cast circulates freely in the crowd. A mixed green salad and a shocking murder send people scrambling to tables where they work to uncover the killer, who could be any one of the guests or a sentient saltshaker. The story unfolds between courses. For the entree, diners choose from baked chicken dijon coated with japanese breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, oven-baked salmon cooked with fresh basil and garlic, or pasta primavera with garlic, herbs, and olive oil. New York–style cheesecake rewards the night's trials as the crook is revealed and the guest with the best guess takes home a prize package. See the schedule for available shows.
