“I attended a Murder Mystery night at this venue during the winter and was very pleased with how the evening went! The production company that set up the "theater" was fantastic and made everyone feel very comfortable while the event coordination made everything run smooth, from drink service to food! The food is delicious (highly recomend the cheese curds) and the space is beautiful, with a nice chandalier bringing everything together. Had a great time!”
