Super fun place to enjoy dinner and watch a show. The main theatre has staggered level seating, so…read moreyou have a clear view of the stage no matter where your table is. Since you're sitting through dinner and a multi-hour show, I highly recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time for the booth seating over the tables with chairs. The booths were comfortable and plush. A variety of entrees are included with your fare, with the option to purchase upgrades to nicer entrees, enhancements such as sautéed onions and mushrooms, and other items such as appetizers and dessert. Soft drinks including tea and coffee are included in your fare, and other drinks are available for purchase. The appetizer platter was pretty disappointing -- it's advertised as enough for 3-4 people but it really is enough for 1-2. I think you're better off getting the bruschetta for an appetizer. The strawberry mule was a little too sweet for my taste. The entrees really load up the side vegetables so you won't be hungry after your meal! The famous chanhassen chicken was a little bit on the blander side but the portion was generous. The sirloin was definitely the star -- it was seasoned well and served medium rare. The tiramisu was a little more cream heavy than espresso -- I'd try a different dessert next time. The show itself was great -- the sets are well done and you can hear everything really well. They had a 20 minute intermission which was much needed to stretch your legs after sitting for a while. Before the show starts you order dessert and additional drinks that get served during intermission. During intermission you close out your tab as well. There's plenty of free parking available in the large lot and parking ramp, and I had no issues with waiting to get out after the show either.

Chicken was way better than I anticipated. And the dessert was definitely the proper icing on this cake of an evening. Let's not forget that Coty made sure we were well taken care of the whole evening ... as well as the other staff that help support him. It's just a well-oiled machine there and I can't wait to go back and enjoy another show. The musical was so well done. I felt guilty for clapping at the end of the acts where the characters were sad. But I clapped. The cast more than deserved it. You could tell a lot of work went into it and I'm glad I got a chance to watch it. I didn't even have any complaints leaving the parking lot. I thought for sure it would be like backed up forever when we left, but it wasn't an issue at all. They know what they're doing and they do it well.

We had had a terrible experience trying to deal with a different company originally and we ended up having to find another company and I am so so glad we found the Mystery Cafe. First off, Brian, who is the owner, was just fantastic all around, responsive, accommodating, kind, and organized. The night of the actual performance, I did not feel nervous at all, he and I had communicated multiple times and also already tested all of the electronics weeks prior to the event, it went off without a hitch. It was fun because it did require audience participation, but it was not too high pressure and they made the atmosphere just so light and exciting and it was FUNNY! There was so much humor and I found myself laughing a lot more than I had thought that I would. 10/10 would recommend. They came to our event, there were 3 actors and I must say, I think that the cost was very fair and reasonable. Great time!

Received a gift card to Alamo, so we went out of our way to check this theater concept out!…read more Large parking lot available onsite. I appreciate that is is a fairly minimalistic space: small lobby to check in and head right to your seats, retro movie decor gets you excited for the movie experience, and comfy chairs in the theater itself. With each seat pairing sharing a table, you use a QR code to order snacks, drinks, or even a meal! The incredibly friendly and top notch staff deliver your order directly to your seat. This was the best part for sure! We lucked out and had a fairly empty theater so it was easy to navigate and the phone refill ordering didn't distract me during the movie! The movie itself had great graphics and sound! I appreciated that there wasn't a ton of previews compared to other chains. Now, this isn't a criticism of the theater itself, but of the concept. I have two major issues with the concept that would make me less likely to go back. The first is that if you order a sandwich or other meal, the darkness makes it incredibly difficult to eat cleanly. I definitely finished the movie with some sauce on my shirt ;) Secondly, the tables are shared by pairs of seats, so if you are alone or have an odd number in your group, someone might have to share a table with a stranger, which feels a bit odd and uncomfy to me. I wish there was a way for each seat to have an individual table. Overall, a really solid experience and unique concept! I'd check it out for yourself and see how you feel!

My friends and I stopped by to watch The Odyssey (fantastic movie) during a 2:00 PM Sunday showing…read more A few visits ago, I would have given the Alamo Drafthouse an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Overall, it is still a great movie theater, and if you do not want to read the rest of my review, I absolutely recommend trying it at least once. Let's start with the mostly positive aspects. We ordered the new Jumbo Mozzarella Sticks. I really liked them. My wife thought they were average, but I think they are a big improvement over the old mozzarella sticks, and I would order them again. My biggest issue is that, for $13 plus tax, you only get five, and "jumbo" is not the right word. They are only slightly larger than an average mozzarella stick. At that price, at least include eight. I also love the atmosphere and ambience. Whether you are walking through the hallways or entering the theater, it just feels comfortable. I am not sure what they have done, but it just feels good! The projectors continue to impress me. They seem brighter, sharper, and more detailed than those at any other movie theater I have visited. Absolutely fantastic. The staff is also consistently excellent. Everyone has always been incredibly kind, and I have never really had an issue with customer service. I have also enjoyed their Loaded Fries with Queso and several milkshakes, although I miss some of the flavors they removed from the menu. Now for the negatives and why this is no longer a 5-star experience. First, the seats do not recline far enough. I am 6 feet tall, and I always wish they reclined a little farther. I feel like I am sitting closer to a 90-degree angle than I would prefer. Next, I understand that we went to "The Big Show" for a major movie release, but our entire group complained about the volume. It was far too loud, to the point that it hurt my ears during several scenes and I had to cover them. Even lowering it by 10% may have made the loud scenes more comfortable while leaving the quieter scenes perfectly audible. During this visit, I ordered one of their newer pizzas, the BBQ Chicken Pizza. I immediately regretted it. Friends and family have warned me that pizza is one of the weaker menu items. Unfortunately, they were right. The pizza was not good, and I would never order it again. My biggest complaint was how sweet it was. I do not know if they use too much BBQ sauce or an extremely sweet sauce, but it overpowered everything else. On top of that, the pizza was incredibly salty. It almost reminded me of eating popcorn. We did not get popcorn during this visit, so I know it was not coming from that. The cost? $20.40 with "extra ranch drizzle" added on. Yikes. I also have mixed feelings about the new mobile ordering system. I can see the pros and cons, and this was our first time using it, so maybe it will become easier with repeated use. That said, if I could wave a magic wand and go back to the old pen-and-paper system, I probably would. Everyone else in my group felt the same way. The biggest advantage is not having to wait for the check at the end of the movie. That part was genuinely nice. However, it feels strange to pull out my phone during a movie just to order food or request a refill. The Alamo built its reputation on minimizing distractions and discouraging phone use, yet customers now have to use their phones to order. That feels backwards. Also, connect to their unsecured Wi-Fi or you may have trouble using the ordering system. As someone who works in IT, entering my credit card information over an unsecured Wi-Fi network made me uncomfortable. The payment process needs work too. Manually entering my entire credit card number while sitting in the theater was frustrating. Apple Pay, Google Pay, or the ability to securely save a payment method to an Alamo account would make the experience much smoother. I considered giving this theater 3 stars, but that felt too harsh because I still genuinely enjoy coming here. I have had much better food in the past, and I still think this is one of the better movie theater experiences around. I will be back, but this is not going to be our go-to theater. They charge premium prices for the food, but you are not always getting a premium product. Fortunately, the ticket prices seem to be on par with other theaters. It feels like things have slipped over the past few years. The food is much more hit-or-miss than it used to be, and I am not convinced the mobile ordering system is an improvement. My advice: skip the pizza. The food here is either fantastic or disappointing. There does not seem to be much middle ground. Overall, I still recommend the Alamo Drafthouse, and I will absolutely be back. I just hope these recent changes improve because this used to be an easy 5-star theater for me.

The paranormal team there was very warm and friendly as well as accomodating (Thank you, Lisa, especially!) We experienced lots of scary moments, and the activities held our interest as well as our enthusiasm. We especially enjoyed the ghost hunt and investigation! I so appreciate the good time that the staff there showed my daughter. She said she still can't stop talking about it; said she's obsessed with it now, and tells everyone all about our night there! We're both looking so forward to doing it again and my daughter, Christy said, "And next time I won't be so scared! I'll be able to keep my eyes open through the whole thing!" (She's so adorable.) My husband and I had been to the theater back in October on a ghost tour and we, too, had so much fun there together! In addition to that, we attended the Twin Cities Gangs History movie there; we enjoyed it immensely! There's not only the paranormal part of the theater activities, but there is an incredible amount of history there to be enjoyed, and appreciated. We so hope to see the Historic Mounds Dinner Theater maintained and supported by the public for another hundred years! Thank you again, especially to you, Lisa! You're super! ~Jeanie F. and Christy F.

I'm sorry but when there are multiple communications about time frames and then you try to blame me (the customer) for the issue, there is a huge problem. I spoke to a manager (I think Caitlin) to cancel my event 2 MONTHS in advance when I realized that the time frame would just not work for us and she was extremely rude, essentially placing the blame on me. Sorry, but you are the manager and for you to try to place blame on a customer and not even try to take any level of accountability etc. then there is an issue. The way she ended the phone call was rude and unprofessional. She legitimately stated to me in a rude SARCASTIC WAY "good luck finding another company for your event". Sounding as if I wouldn't be able to... oh man, she was wrong because not only did I find another company for this event but that company has already been 100% better. Another perfect example of why I would NOT recommend this company for your Murder Mystery event. Also, not to mention that they over charge for a service when there are many other options that are better, more affordable, better at communication and willing to make sure it works for OUR event.
