Speakeasy Buffet - Dessert - Murder Mystery Theatre

Return to the roaring 1920s and the famous Jazz club "Chez Mort". On this particular night, the club was the scene of a strange accident. Or was it an accident? As newspapers of the day reported: "Ingenue 'Sweet Sue' Blutowsky was mysteriously and fatally cut short during her debut singing performance. Inspector Constantine was quick on the scene to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding the shocking events."

In attendance on that fateful night was the infamous hoodlum Big Suit Stu and his Russian bodyguard or maybe he was German. Anyway.. Was Big Suit the culprit? Or was it the ditzy French Emcee Jean Paul Truffaut? Maybe it was the happy go lucky Stage Hand or someone else.

Journey back in time and join the good inspector on that dark and rainy evening.

The Chez Mort Speakeasy Buffet
Tonight's Secret Spread is catered by Concordia Catering and will be served buffet-style.

Step up to the Chez Mort buffet and fill your plate but keep your eyes open. With this crowd, turning your back could be a deadly mistake.

Pasta a la Prohibition
A hearty selection of rigatoni & gemelli pasta paired with rich marinara and creamy Alfredo sauces. So good, it ought to be illegal.

Mob Boss Meatballs
Savory Italian meatballs served alongside tonight's pasta. The only thing we planned on getting whacked tonight.

The Getaway Grilled Chicken
Tender grilled chicken, the perfect accomplice to your pasta. Clean, classic, and suspiciously innocent.

The Flapper's Garden Salad
Crisp greens and fresh fixings dressed for a night on the town.

Bootlegger's Garlic Knots
Warm, buttery garlic bread worth sneaking past the authorities.

The Final Alibi - Death by Chocolate Lace Cheesecake
A decadent chocolate-laced cheesecake with a finish so dangerously delicious, it may just be your last.

The Bee's Knees Norwegian Almond Caramel Cake
Sweet and luscious caramel come together in a dessert that's simply the bee's knees.

Seating Information

New this year -- you choose your own reserved seats at the time of purchase!

The dining room will feature tables of 10, and each ticket includes a reserved seat selected by you at the time of purchase.

How It Works

1. Select your seats on the seating map. Choose any available seat(s) at the table where you would like to sit.

2. Attending with friends or another party? Plan ahead! If tickets are being purchased separately, please coordinate with the people you would like to sit with before purchasing and select available seats together at the same table.

3. Your selected seat is your reserved seat. Unlike previous events, seating assignments will not be arranged by our staff after tickets are purchased. Patrons are responsible for selecting their own seats and coordinating seating with other members of their party.

4. Tables will be filled to maximize seating. Tables seat 10 guests, and smaller parties should expect to share a table with other patrons to make the best use of available seating.

5. Complete your purchase. Once you've selected your seats, follow the prompts to complete your ticket order.

PLEASE NOTE: The seating map is provided as a general representation of the room and is not drawn to scale. Actual table placement, spacing and orientation may vary slightly on the night of the event. However, the map is designed to provide reasonably accurate representation of the overall seating arrangement.

Planning to sit with a group? We strongly recommend coordinating your seat selections before anyone in your group purchases tickets. With 10 seats per table, availability together may become limited as the event fills.

Accessible Seating & Accommodations

We want all guests to enjoy a comfortable evening at Chez Mort! If you or a member of your party requires an accessible seating accommodation, please contact the Box Office for assistance in booking.
