The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show - Orange County, California

Performing arts theater Entertainer Dinner theater Comedy club

👍 The show was a lot of fun! Amazing improvisation by the detectives! Hilarious! It made up entirely for the fact that the Food was nothing to write home about... and the service was pretty poor. What kind of server tells you to speak more quietly from across the table when the show isn't on yet? And... People often mention show, gluten, good, free, great, time, table,

    My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his birthday. We had never been to something like this before but we were excited to try it. I bought the suspect package for him and it was so much fun! We loved the show and the table we were at. We also liked how the actors were not a fan of a certain loud table and kept getting them to quiet down so we could hear. Food was great! I have a gluten allergy so I checked with the dinner detective before to see if my good could be gluten free, they said it could so when I purchased the ticket under any notes I asked for a gluten allergy on the chicken dinner. Before the event started the hostess came over and wrote gluten free on my ticket so that the kitchen was aware. I gave my salad, appetizer (meatballs- wasn’t sure if it was gluten free so to be safe I didn’t eat it) and dessert to my boyfriend and had my chicken entree. I did not eat the salad, I had a picture and wanted to share it. My chicken entree was delivered by a manager of the kitchen. I have a picture and I will attach it. Gluten free chicken entree was DELICIOUS, I literally ate everything on the plate. My boyfriend got the fish and it was delicious! We really liked the dinner detective and we WILL be back again.

What kind of server tells you to speak more quietly from across the table when the show isn't on yet? And who complains to the customer if the wrong food was brought out?

    Great show! I really enjoyed it but had a hard time hearing because other people at our table were making wayyyyy to much noise. They got drunk and wasn't very pleasant after that. I don't think they should sell bottles at the show because some people can't hold their liquor

    So hilarious. Best time I’ve had in awhile and cannot wait to come back and see more shows. Food was also every good! So happy they have vegetarian options! I have no complaints.

    I had a wonderful time! Most importantly my friend enjoyed having her birthday celebration with family and friends there. This will be our new tradition. Also passing out your information to offices, schools and any big company I can think of. Thank you. Hey detective in red shirt was a cutie.

    This event was amazing. I had a wonderful time. The actors/comedians were spot on. I'm really glad that I went and it was well worth the ticket price. The meal could've been better by offering a few more options and better quality food. But the performance was so good that the meal was an afterthought to me. The way the performers involved the dinner guests in the show was top notch.

    Came for my daughter's birthday. She and I both have celiac and require gluten free food. I contacted the venue before booking to make sure this was possible, and was assured it was. I confirmed again 3 days before. Our meal tickets said gluten free. But really they DO NOT accommodate for gluten free. There was no appetizer for us, the salad had croutons, there was no dessert, and when the food arrived, it most definitely was not gluten free. I think they gave us the vegetarian offering. We asked the server and they said "Oh yeah". Except I was horribly ill in the bathroom 3 times before the show was even over. Missed the best parts of the show because the kitchen staff was ignorant. What a completely horrific night. The 2 family members that were not gluten free said their food was terrible too. Show was okay, but it was just that... a show... there was truly no way to deduce who the killer was, the story line had too many holes to be realistic. Our horrible night was not worth the $350 price tag, especially being so ill from their carelessness.

    I took my husband for his birthday and we loved it! Pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was, and the show was even better! We seriously laughed all night long. Actors are so funny. You gotta try this out if you haven’t yet. Highly recommended!!!

    Had a very good time here. The show was funny and interesting. You have to pay close attention and take notes. The food was good however the drinks were expensive and there was some confusion on validating my parking ticket at the Hotel. All in all a great experience.

    I celebrated my birthday and was extremely worried so that the place I chose and the program it had and the food they served was good, but it was not good it was great! The show is lightly interactive, funny and interesting. Detectives deserve 5 stars! Food is good too, but I would advise to serve something during the second act also, cause it is quite long, not interactive, so you can just sit and eat but by that time there is nothing to eat already. And it was inconvenient that I could not buy a bottle of wine for our table, they sell only by cups, and the reason is obvious but I think still you need more options. The coolest thing was that the killer was sitting at our table and we knew it from the very beginning but couldn’t proof🤣🤣🤣cause you need to be a real detective to solve the case🤣🤣🤣in general it was a great experience! Good luck with your shows guys!

    The show was awesome! Funny, interesting, engaging. We loved the show! Great job! Food was okay, venue was lacking. It smelled terrible throughout the building and parking was a nightmare. We almost left upon arrival but the show made it worth it. Glad we stuck it out!

    We just went tonight and we had so much fun. We figured it out with all the clues but definitely got thrown off by the red herrings too. Actors were great and staff was wonderful. FYI food was good but it’s not amazing. However, you don’t come here for the food, but you come here for the show.
