1. I bought insurance - Thank goodness! 2. I cancelled due…read moreto ice on the road for 8 people. 3. I asked for a confirmation that I had to cancel due to Winter Storm Fern. 4. They took a day to get back to me and told me they would not send me a confirmation unless THEY cancel. 5. They finally did cancel, which is fine. But they do not offer refunds if they cancel - which is on their website. But not cool. 6. I think they should offer out of towners a refund if they cancel. 7. Filed my claim today and I hope it gets approved. Otherwise, out about $600. 8. I am sure I will book again one day and I hope it's fun. I just don't like that they didn't communicate quicker, and with more understanding, etc.

I've always wanted to do a "murder mystery" type dinner, and the Dinner Detective checked this one…read moreoff my bucket list! The event was held at a hotel downtown Dallas in one of the conference rooms. The event had a cash bar (cocktails and beer), and a four course meal. There were pass hors d'oeuvres before the event began. Once you were seated at your assigned table, they began the meal with a salad. The croutons were stale. I didn't touch my salad after a few bites. For the entree, we had a choice between fish or chicken, so my fiancé and I ordered one of each. For our event, the option was a grilled salmon with a side of broccolini, or grilled chicken breast with a side of house potatoes. Overall, the entrees were better than expected, but nothing to really rave about. For dessert, they sliced up 4 different types of cakes for each person to sample. They were pretty standard. The venue had valet parking, but you can find a spot via SpotHero to self park. The men and women ("detectives") leading the mystery hunt made the whole night enjoyable! This is a PG-13 event and there were some inappropriate jokes tossed round. We laughed so much, and got to meet a lot of nice people! FYI, you will need to get out of your seat to "interrogate" the people in the room to try to figure out who the "killer" is. There are actors and actresses hidden within the audience, which made it so much more fun!
