Lemp Mansion Mystery Dinner Theatre
Oct 24, 2009 by Gracie from Columbus, OH
Overall Rating: 3

• Beautiful mansion.
• Theater production, wait staff is not punctual for dinner.

“Don't waste your money. Arrival time for guests is 6:30 and the theater production begins at 7pm. You receive name tags and are the stars of the show. There are only 2 actors that interview each star in between meal changes. Make sure to eat before hand if you are hungry as you will not receive a soup until at least 7:30. Salad was not until 8pm and then more waiting occurs for the entry. Entry was not the best - chicken, tomatoes rolled in beef, and rice. If you are expecting to be entertained while eating dinner, don't waste your money.”

Bissell Mansion Restaurant and Dinner Theater

Overall Rating: 9

• Lots of laughs, actors were very professional, food was great, servers were very attentive and the show was horrible!
• It was a little chilly when we first got there, bring a jacket.

“This is a really fun night out if you want to laugh and have lots of great food! I went with my girlfriends and we just had a blast. My good friend even ended guessing who did it and got a free mug as a prize.”

Laclede's Landing

• The old Spaghetti factory was delicious and priced well for lunch.
• Don't go on Monday. Trash overflowing and smelly.

“It must have been a busy weekend because the place was overflowing with trash. Quite smelly. There was a decent spot to take pictures of the riverfront, an overlook that doubles as a parking area. Many shops were closed on Monday so sort of disappointing. We had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory. We had to wait about a half hour or so to be seated but it was well worth it. The food was great and I was surprised how reasonably priced it was. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with stained glass and antiques all around. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Parking nearby was five dollars.”

City Museum
Mar 14, 2009 by Matt from St. Louis
Overall Rating: 10

• Fun place to climb, crawl, and explore.
• The museum needs a better toddler area, more safe for actual toddlers.

“I have known about the City Museum for nearly ten years now and had heard it was like an indoor playground for kids. What an enormous understatement. We went there today and found it to be an amazing indoor and outdoor playground for adults as well as kids. If you always liked climbing trees, buildings, etc., crawling under and around various places, and just actively exploring new places: you will love the City Museum. I would warn: there are a few tight places, high places, and some dark places that might not be fun for everyone. I wouldn't recommend most of the museum for the true toddler set. We ended up carrying our willing (but not yet able) 20 month old around many of the precarious climbing exhibits/slides/etc. Go with children old enough to climb and run safely with supervision.”

Lemp Mansion Mystery Dinner Theatre

• Very good value for cost, food and entertainment was great.
• No choice in food and no vegetarian option. Servers rushed every course.

“I went to a public dinner theater with a few friends celebrating a birthday. Upon arrival you are given a name tag and your characters role/secrets. You are invited to interact with other guest there to get more information about the story. The first course was Beer Cheese Soup, I thought it was good although it could have been a little hotter. The actors were very funny and did a lot of audience interaction, so you may want to keep that in mind if you are shy. Second course was May (Caesar) Salad. Entree was Fried chicken with gravy with steak and rice. It was a lot and I probably shouldn't have ate it all but it was very good. There was also Cheese cake for dessert. For the price the food and entertainment was worth the value and I plan to go back.”
