Amazeballz Spot For A Birthday Feast!! SITREP My sweet awesome bestie Bambi was hosting her 50th birthday party with the good people of Mystique Dining and what a joyous occasion of celebration and reminiscing we had! THE SETUP Such a crazy fun environment that propels you back in time to some Medieval Castle-style Banquet Room! (Not quite - what was it with horses and Knight? "Knight's Table"? Not quite THAT elaborate, but still so.much.fun!) The guest list was mixed: there were 12 people in Bambi's party crew, and then there were two (2) smaller parties of six (6) each so there was total of 24(?) people (there were additions/subtractions of peeps leaving/coming off & on throughout the evening within each group). There was of course, the Banquet dinner! And then there was an aftershow (during dessert) with a bona fide Las Vegas magician who apparently flies in every Thursday to do this midweek show. THE FOOD! The courses were quite elaborate! Ahead of time, Bambi got our preferences for the main course (pretty much the same for the side dishes for each main course): Filet Mignon, Seasoned Chicken, Fish(?), and a Vegetable Lasagna. The dessert was a cheesecake! THE LOWDOWN Excellent experience! And it was all about the experience! You can go to a restaurant any ole time, but to celebrate a regal birthday with friends and loved ones takes it a notch up, sometimes the place itself deserves to be a notch up! read more

Very Unique, Enchanting, Fun & Delicious! I took my daughter there in 7/26 during their 50% off Summer Special; which was a great deal to try it out. It was worth every penny! From the outside it doesn't look like a restaurant- but inside it is Beautifully decorated in an Elegant, dark Victorian theme! Once the chamber doors open, you are lead by the Hostess to your seat at a large dining table with approximately 20 guests. The 5-course dinner is Exquisite and carefully prepared and includes an appetizer, seasonal salad (ours had Summer strawberries), a palet cleanser Sorbet, your entree/veggies, then dessert. There are several entrees to choose from. We had prime rib was 2" thick; cooked to Perfection! Our Hostess was incredible - she was very attentive and made everyone feel special. After our dessert was cleared, a Magician appeared and the Magic show began! The dinner and show takes about 3 hours. We were very impressed. It's a great venue for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, date night or 1st date! Mystique definitely has the WOW factor! We are going back in October for their "Manefestations" Dinner. Check out their website for pics and better description of All that they offer! read more

Looking for something different to do that is actually fun, exciting, and won't leave you feeling like there could have been more? This is the experience you actually want to get in to. Mystique is a 'dinner and a show' venue in old town Folsom on Sutter Street. Making reservations online was easy and you get to pre-select your meal online when you make those reservations. They also run gift certificate specials so be sure to look for those. Pricing may seem high at first. BUT take into consideration what the evening will entail. This is a first class dinner AND a first rate show for your evening. The seating is very limited and they book up quickly. The interior dining venue is elaborate and 'magical' in design and decor. Perfect for a magic show! Our hostesses were friendly, humorous and specific about how the evening would proceed. All of our fellow guests were super friendly, talkative and all of us had a great time and conversations throughout the night. The 5 course dinner (4 plus a palate cleanser) was excellent and a tremendous amount of food was served. Most people took home food for later. I was rather surprised as how large the portions were. And, it was all well prepared and very good. The entire room of diners were all quite impressed. Now, on to the show.... After our meals were completed, and dishes cleared, our magician host came out and the show began. Experiencing a magician performing up close is something to behold. He was excellent with his talents, and had everyone in stitches with the comedy. This is an audience participation event which is fantastic. Most everyone played a part in one or more of his feats of illusion and mind bending abilities. My partner and I woke up the next morning still attempting to figure out how he was able to do them. I highly recommend getting online and consider an evening here. And dress to impress. This is a fine dining experience. read more

We came to Mystique Dining to celebrate my husband's birthday because he really wanted a magic show with dinner. I wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea at first, but since it was his birthday, we made his wish come true! Ordering tickets on the website was easy and straightforward. The dining room is intimate, with one large communal table and two high-top tables for couples. We arrived about five minutes before doors opened. I was honestly surprised by how cool the decor was. It's a little cheesy, but it totally works. The lighting, ambiance, and overall vibe pull you in and make it fun. You can't help but enjoy it. Our two hosts were personable and professional. They served all the dishes and explained the rules for the evening. Once everyone finished eating, the magic show began. The food was super delicious and I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. The prime rib is absolutely the way to go. It was soooo good, and the sides were cooked and seasoned perfectly. They also offer chicken and pasta. I saw a few people order those, and they didn't look as appealing, but the prime rib definitely delivered. The cheesecake for dessert was amazing and perfect ending to the meal ! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the food and overall experience made it worth it. The magic show itself was a little "meh" ....not super mind-blowing, but the magician was kind and entertaining. He and the hosts made a special effort to wish my husband a happy birthday and even included him in part of the show, which made the night extra special. We loved the evening. I'm already planning to come back in October for their Halloween-themed dinner show! read more

What a great and unique dining AND magic show experience. I surprised my husband and took him here for his 52nd bday. He was soooo happy and he can't wait to go back for their Halloween dinner which per the ladies that work there is super specials. Now, it's not cheap by any means. BUT, look for their coupons online for some great savings. Prime Rib was a 10!' Staff was super friendly too. read more

I'm big on reading reviews before I go somewhere and I definitely was not disappointed. We learned there are different themes depending on the season (Jan-Aug is normal decor, Sept and Oct is Halloween and Nov and Dec is Christmas). I recommend the Mac and cheese. It's truly so delicious and did not disappoint. My husband and I got prime rib but will be getting the Mac and cheese next time. You get to enjoy all the food first and then get to participate in a show after. read more

We had a group of 6 grab tickets for the Manifestations show at Mystique Dining that celebrates the works of Edgar Allen Poe. It was a very intimate setting for about 20 people total and included a 5 course meal as well as a magic show. Expect the experience to last about 2.5 hours. The dinner was excellent and included a bacon-wrapped fig app, a salad, a sorbet palate cleanser, main course, and a dessert. I was impressed with the food and the generous portion of the main dish. I had the prime rib which was enormous and had a flavorful crust. Dave Cox was the magician for the night and there was lots of audience participation. He was fantastic! In terms of value the whole experience was around $125-150 per person which I felt was fair for dinner and a show. read more

The meal was delicious, the hosts were all very professional, and the magician's sleight of hand was quick. I've got to say I was there for the Easter Dinner, and it was as tasty as I knew it was going to be having been there a few times now. I had the Mac and cheese and it was everything I wanted it to be. The lamb was delicious, charred to perfection. The Cornish hen was just the right size. And the lobster tail was supple. Having a 5 course meal is definitely a treat, especially because someone who knows how to season it is preparing it. Very glad to see the food hasn't changed tastes. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise. Nestled in Old Folsom this little gem offers amazing food in a quaint setting which holds a maximum of 18 people on a long table. The wait staff is amazing, so attentive yet not hovering. So nice you have assigned seating in this relaxing room. Have to say the Chef is a genius, love the meal being served in courses with each plate carefully prepared. The sauces and dressing described, along with any special nuance shared as the plate is served. Each course compliments the previous one. Just as you think it couldn't get any better, along comes dessert. WOW! At the end George Tovar comes out and works his magic- great ending to a lovely meal. read more

I have enjoyed this unique dinning experience several times over the years. Each time offered a unique experience, with each being outstanding. The food and entertainment remind me of a Las Vegas production in both style and quality. The true superstar is Connie in customer service.

Thank You, Connie! read more

A Magical Night at Mystique! We had an absolutely great time at Mystique. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. The prime rib? Enormous and perfectly cooked--honestly one of the best we've had in a long time. The service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and totally on point all evening. And the show? Simply wonderful. George is such a talented act! His performance was the perfect mix of mind-blowing magic, humor, and charisma. You can tell he's a seasoned pro, and he had the entire room completely captivated. If you're looking for a unique night out with great food, flawless service, and world-class entertainment, Mystique delivers. We'll definitely be back! read more

My wife and I celebrated our six-year anniversary at Mystique Dining, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! We attended the "Manifestations" event, a stunning tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, and they absolutely nailed the ambiance, service, and entertainment. Ambiance: The atmosphere was incredible and felt like stepping straight into a gothic fantasy. They transformed the space into a beautifully eerie tribute, with gothic chandeliers, velvet walls, and even a coffin in the decor! Each detail, from the tombstone humor on the walls to the spooky low lighting and centerpieces, added to the vibe. The only drawback was the small waiting area, which could use more seating. But once inside, we were completely immersed in the ambiance, even enjoying a spooky dry ice effect on our apple appetizer. Overall, 5/5 stars - a stunning setting with an attention to detail that made the night feel special. Service: Top-notch. Our server, Monica, was fantastic: sweet, funny, and skillfully managed the event on her own. She timed each course perfectly, and between courses, we were treated to Poe readings from a floating head illusion. Her presence made it feel intimate and well-orchestrated, adding a lot to the evening. 5/5 stars. Food: The five-course meal exceeded our expectations. We expected the focus to be on entertainment, but the food was genuinely excellent. My wife, who only eats poultry and seafood, opted for the vegetarian lasagna, which was delicious, and a shrimp cocktail to start. I had the stuffed mushrooms (amazing!) and the gourmet mac and cheese - truly perfect comfort food for a vegetarian. The meal was rounded out with a fresh salad, palate cleanser, and a rich turtle cheesecake for dessert. Both of us were surprised by how delicious everything was; easily one of the best meals we've had in a while. 5/5 stars! Magic Show: The magic show was the cherry on top! David Parr performed, bringing a mix of humor, charm, and surprising tricks. We loved the interactive feel, and while the show had a playful, cheesy side, it was well-done and fun for all. There's a chance to participate if you're open to it (I may or may not have nearly broken a Pez dispenser - David, my apologies!). The intimate setup made the experience feel like a cozy gathering with friends. 5/5 stars. Overall, Mystique Dining provided an incredible anniversary night. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and great memories. We spent $300 including tip, which felt like a steal for such an immersive experience. If you love interactive dining, this is a MUST-try! 5/5 stars! read more

I brought my partner for his birthday celebration and finds the experience to be unique/fun. I definitely will recommend this place to my friends because the aesthetic, the food quality and magician entertainment are all spot on. Total is a five course meal which includes a salad, appetizer, entree, ice cream and a cake(forgot to take photo). My favorite is definitely the prime rib with the Mac and cheese. You also get complementary soda and beverages but you can also order extra wine if you want to drink. The magician show is interactive and my partner was one of the many people that got chosen to be part of the tricks. Such a unique experience! read more

The venue is beautiful decorated, very mysterious and magical. I love the dragon decor and wish they had a dragon-themed event (show). Prime rib dinner was delicious. Only regret was no choice on any of the courses and dessert was a caramel cheesecake. The cheesecake did not appeal to my cheesecake-loving daughter at all but the other 3 (non-cheesecake-loving) of us actually loved it. Service was excellent. The show was still very good, but we booked before the magician was announced and he turned out to be the same one as last year and it was a very similar show. If we book again, we will make sure it's someone new. Deducting one star because: The seats closest to the magician are VIP seats and cost more; I don't know if all the magicians do it, but this magician always asks the VIP people to trade seats with people in the furthest seats so "everyone can get a chance". I think that's ridiculous. #1) I paid for VIP seats and I don't want to be sitting in the back for any amount of time. #2) Our family wants to sit together, not with strangers (esp. given Covid/flu/whatever). If the magician wants to give the rear seats a better view, walk back and do some tricks back there. read more

Had a wonderful time here. Our host Steven provided wonderful service along with a few tricks and giggles. The food was good the prime rib is more than generous and tasty. I would not recommend the shrimp cocktail as they were likely just frozen shrimp from Costco. Our magician Paige was funny and personal involving most of us in her show. I think Mystique is a great venue for spending a nice evening with friends and loved ones. Come check them out. read more

Excellent experience overall. It isn't inexpensive but the value is excellent. We went for my 50th birthday and to see the magic show. The show delivered and the magician was very entertaining. This isn't just a meal and a show. It was a multi-course dinner and the food was outstanding. Everyone in my party raved about the food and every plate was either finished or a box was taken home. The dessert was cheesecake, which I am not a fan of but this was probably the best cheesecake I have ever had. I ate the whole thing. I plan on returning. read more

I really wanted to love this place and bring other family members to experience it. The overall experience was extremely fun and entertaining, and the butlers were very friendly and informative. My husband and I went on a late Saturday night for my birthday celebration, both excited to see a little magic. The decorations were so interesting, and loved the touch of dragons and magician art everywhere. Even have to give a good nod to the music that played the Dragonheart theme song, love that! The start of the evening seemed fine, and the magician was undoubtedly the highlight of the night. He was engaging, hilarious, and highly recommended--if you can avoid eating the food. The food initially appeared good, and we were happy with our five-course meal--until we got home. Shortly after arriving, right before bed, I became violently ill with food poisoning. I took the worst of it, going through bouts of vomiting everything left from the dinner in my stomach up and suffering from excruciating cramps while exploding at the same time. Unfortunately, a few minutes after I claimed a bathroom for the night, my husband had to rush to the other one, experiencing his own bout of food poisoning. Even into the next day, while my husband seemed to have recovered, I was still suffering from a sore, cramped lower body. Which is an absolute shame and worried for the other strangers that were with us there last night. Whatever Mystique Dining is serving, something is seriously spoiled and putting patrons at risk. Unfortunately, my husband and I will have to pass on this fun establishment for future visits- out of fear for our health. read more

Five of us enjoyed a wonderful evening this past Monday at Mystique Dining. The decor & special effects were beyond what you'd imagine. The 5 course meal was very good & satisfying & left us all with leftovers for the next day. The service was impeccable. Monica was totally on point as a server & so was Steve as our butler. The entertainment that evening was Dave Cox. He oohed & ahhhhd us with his magic & he great personality. He kept us all captivated and laughing. Needless to say, we had a most enjoyable evening & all plan to go again! read more

We've passed by on several occasions and decided to book. I booked for 5, close to 800 dollars, extremely expensive!! Was it worth the price, no. To be fair, it should be less than 100 for each person because as I've read from other reviewers, I would have to agree, the show was on the shorter side, The magician seemed tired. He is performing a full day on his own. There was interactive performances, which drew the crowd in and was fun, the waiting room is small and seats a bit uncomfortable. With all the money they are making, a nice remodel would do or even more appealing decor. The restroom was extremely filthy. I didn't want to touch anything. They should spruce up the restroom after every show. The hosts were sweet but both seemed to have colds, raspy voice and were very close and personal. I didn't want to catch anything if she was sick. Inside, where show takes place, is actually decorated a lot more interesting than the waiting room, although they could probably use all that money they make towards some really appealing and less costume like decor. The food was decent but not worth the money they requested per plate, plus you're rushed. The food comes out, eat fast because before you know it, boxes appear and you're preparing your doggy bag. The appetizer was not that great. My favorite was the cheesecake. The show was fun and entertaining, but yes rather quick. The magician doesn't have much room to perform nor a stage, but it works. It's a small space, it would work out if there were more rooms and a bigger waiting area or more entertainment, like the magic castle. When I arrived home, I ended up sick from the food, something I ate, wasn't cooked well or who knows what, but it didn't end well. Would I recommend this place- eh.. for a night out but it's super expensive, but to try over and over, no. They need a lot of remodeling and renovatiing and cleaning of bathrooms and figuring out the time schedule, maybe create one so people can see that on the program. Less food perhaps and more entertaining. It can work if they revamp correctly. read more

Food was I'm going to be transparent, I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was honey! Food was seasoned to perfection. They serve 5 courses of a perfectly curated menu. Appetizer was apples drizzled with caramel and bacon wrapped dates. I could eat 10 more of those dates! Second course was a robust salad with mixed greens, feta, cranberries and this lovely poppy seed dressing. Now main course I chose was Cornish hen and a side of their gourmet mac and cheese served alongside asparagus. That Cornish was so well seasoned I chomped it to the bone! Not a sliver of meat left unconsumed. Mac and cheese was satisfying and the asparagus was snappy how we like it! My friends got the prime rib and they asked for it cooked medium well (ask early), and the restaurant accommodated them. When I tell you that prime rib was seasoned so well and served with a delectable au jus!! I had to get a couple bites in. And it was HUGE! They said it's not usually that big of a cut which could serve a family of 4. Maybe you're supposed to have a little more class but my friends and I tried each other's food. I got my moneys worth and don't feel bad about it either. Now on to dessert! Cheesecake was served with a peach compote and caramel and it was yummy! Let's talk service! Each course is brought out one by one. The servers are funny and polite. And if the food is too much to eat in one sitting (which it will be), they offer to go boxes! Now on to the main event! The show! Incredible! The magic show gave mystique alright! I will not leave any spoilers! I'll just say Doug is the man! Overall, it's worth every penny spent. I will do it again. And the macabre vibes of the decor was so cool for the Halloween season. I recommend this to any and everyone. read more

This was an enjoyable dining experience. The reservation comes with a multi course dinner that was a good value, but not over the top cuisine for sure. Neither of us enjoyed the appetizer. The palate cleanser was overpowering but good sorbet. Didn't really cleanse the palate. We had both the prime rib and the game hen for our main courses. Both were well seasoned and came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This was the best part of the multi course meal. The dessert was cheese cake, no other option. I am not a fan of cheesecake, so that went into a takeout container. Limited beer and wine selection, so we brought our own wine. Corkage currently is a reasonable 20 dollars. We enjoyed the magic show, but it was very short, about 30 minutes long. I would definitely do this dinner show again, as they rotate their performers, and it really is a great value dining experience. read more

Overall, we loved the experience. Was very disappointed that we were there for a special occasion (my birthday) and even indicated it on our reservation, and it got missed...repeatedly.
