Holiday Murder Mystery Dinner

Highlights

Description

Holiday spirit meets hilarious sleuthing at Petite Violette’s beloved murder mystery dinner—a limited-season celebration set in the restaurant’s private Bordeaux Room. From the moment you check in, the cast sets the tone with quick wit, over-the-top characters, and a warm welcome that eases even the shyest guests into the fun. If you love to perform, you can take on a role (props included). If you’d rather spectate, no problem—kick back and enjoy the show while the mystery unfolds around you. Between scenes, the culinary team keeps the evening deliciously paced with a four-course French dinner. Start with hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, then a crisp seasonal salad—paired with a glass of wine for guests 21 and over—before choosing from thoughtfully prepared entrées that include meat, fish, and vegetarian options. The finishing touch is a house-made dessert worthy of a holiday toast. Menus rotate seasonally, and the show’s storyline changes throughout the year, giving regulars a fresh reason to return. This year’s holiday production brings classic characters, cheeky surprises, and just enough mischief to keep everyone guessing until the final reveal. The humor is bright and family-friendly for ages 10+, the clues are clever, and the pacing is spot-on, making three hours fly by in a flurry of laughter, plot twists, and table-side banter. Planning a company party or friends’ night out? Family-style seating helps groups mingle, and our team will seat your party together whenever possible. Dress is neat casual, and we recommend arriving 30 minutes early to get settled. Parking is convenient, the address is easy to find, and staff are happy to accommodate common dietary needs with advance notice. Whether you’re a local tradition-keeper or visiting Atlanta for the season, there’s no better way to celebrate than a mystery you can taste—part theatre, part dinner party, and all holiday joy.
