Reviews for Amelia's Under the Lamplight Dinner Theater in Galena, IL
I attended Amelia's Under the Lamplight Dinner Theater while they did a James Bond murder mystery. We did this as a conference... social with nearly 30 in attendance. Amelia was MORE than accommodating with our group. She made it so easy for us to plan thissocial! The actors did a fantastic job with figuring out our group's humor and accommodating to us. The food was great, too! Youreally get what you put into the theater. I would recommend this to a couple for a date night OR a work social. It was that fun. Read more
The entertainment was excellent! It was Johnny Cash and Elvis . The food for both of us was TERRIBLE. Salmon meal, Steak and... very small salad. Slice of store bought cheese cake dessert was fine. Read more
This review is for Amelia's under the lamplight dinner theater featuring Daryl Moon. My husband and I had so much fun!!! Daryl... Moon was excellent! Very funny and definitely entertaining. We played the screwlywed game, a different take on the newlywedgame, and it was one of the best times that we've ever had. If you're in Galena and Daryl Moon is performing definitely reservea spot!

The show was good. One of the two meals was good. Be prepared- you may be a part of the show. My girlfriend had fun, as an... introvert it was kind of scary. Read more
So, overall the show was HILARIOUS, fun and interactive. This was the 5th murder mystery I’ve done and this was by far the... most interactive show I’ve experienced. My whole table was involved. My partner and grandpa were big parts of the show. Atleast one person from every table gets asked to participate, so be ready for that. The actors were very good and were reallyfunny. The space is small and intimate and housed low occupancy. I think this allows for a better experience. The staff was niceand attentive. Now, I do have a few things I wasn’t 100% happy about. The cost for this is about $77/person. That’s alrightas long as everything is spot on. The food was good, but the portions were really small. We all got steak and the portion wasless than 4 ounces, the veggies were over cooked, bland and weren’t pleantiful. The cheesecake dessert was 4 bites maximum.For the price I expected more. I’ve spent less money for the same show experience and way better food. Also, I didn’t likehow the waitresses just walked right through the actors as the show was going on. The show goes on around you and instead of thewait staff waiting for the scene to move to the other side of the room or be over they would literally walk right through thetwo actors talking. There’s no better way to ruin the scene. This happened with the guests doing this as well. People did alsotry to come in during the show, which also ruined the scene. These things need to be better controlled. Also, turn the lightsoff and close the curtains so the sun doesn’t come through. Create the best look and feel for your guests. Overall, I wouldtry them again and would suggest for something different. Read more
We had such a good time at the show. They do an excellent job including the guests and drawing them into the story. The actors... were experienced and knew how to draw out guests. So fun! Read more

My husband and I took part in the haunted bus tour and the dinner theater. Both were fun and affordable. Our tour guide for... the haunted bus tour was AMAZING!!
