Murder Impossible:
Nitefort’s Dead Reckoning
When the fate of the world hangs in the balance, you can always count on Ethan Stunt, the renegade top-secret agent of an elite organization known as Mission Espionage Headquarters (or MEH). Ethan eats excitement for breakfast, and he never avoids pulse-pounding, often unnecessary tactics, whether it’s climbing insanely tall buildings, hanging off an airplane in midair, or driving a motorcycle really, really fast. Ethan’s latest mission: locate a deadly object that could end all life on Earth—AGAIN—probably. That's ok. He's used to that.
But when the evil Mastermind of NiteFort, the most epic online/arcade/handheld game ever, discovers Ethan is closing in, he does the unthinkable. He pulls Ethan into a world he knows nothing about ....INSIDE the game of NiteFort. Light the fuse and ignite the thrills, as you’re enlisted to help Ethan Stunt, Lara Croft, Luther the Lyft Driver, some token Russian bad guys, and a whole lot of your favorite video game characters, as Ethan tries to find the killer and maybe even save the world!

We Were on Fox 5’s Good Day Atlanta
For Agatha Christie's birthday and the movie "A Haunting in Venice", Good Day Atlanta had us on the show to demonstrate how a murder mystery dinner is done. And Chef cooked some Shrimp Alfredo Penne Pasta, to add some flavor to the segment. Watch here and make reservations for Fridays and Saturdays on our website.
WE were ON TV, on atlanta eats!
We were featured on Atlanta Eats on Peachtree TV recently! If you've dined at the restaurant lately, you might have seen the filming crew and star Steak Shapiro getting footage for the show. So check out the episode here. You might spot some familiar faces or get your 15 minutes (seconds) of fame! Additionally, Peachtree TV featured Atlanta Eats: Best Soups in Atlanta, and it featured our Soupe a L’oignon Gratinee, a French onion soup topped with parmesan and melted gruyere. Watch the show for an up-close and personal review of our popular French classic, as well as other soups from restaurants around Atlanta. And come in for a bowl today or any day!
live entertainment
Friday evenings, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., join us for a swinging soirée as Jazz guitar master, Dan Coy, leads a unique, acoustic instrumental group which specializes in Parisian-style jazz standards, Django Reinhardt songs, romantic ballads, and waltzes. The accordion (Gabe Granitz), guitar (Dan Coy) & bass (Mark Bynum) trio authentically reproduces the ambiance of a French bistro for your dining experience.
Saturday nights, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., it's the solo stylings of Berne Poliakoff, accompanied by her guitar. Enjoy this live music with dinner and drinks in the dining room or sips and snacks at the bar. There's something for everyone, and she welcomes requests!
Let the live music transport you, and bon appétit!
