We had reserved a table for 8, which is the number of people a table seats. When we arrived, there were people at all the tables, so they had to move people to another table, which made us look like the bad guys. That happened to some other people who came after us as well, shuffling had to be done in order to seat everyone. You would think the reservation person would mark the tables as they were reserved, but obviously that didn't happen. The skit was very short, which took place during the salad and bread course. During dinner they passed out cards to a select few to be suspects in the skit. After dinner the players interviewed the suspects and we had to draw a conclusion with the facts presented. During dessert they deliberated on who correctly found the murderer. All that was fine, except the whole thing did not have much substance. The set (one piece of fabric over a pole) keep falling down and a table and chairs were it. The whole thing seemed simple and second rate. The saving grace was the food, it was very good and you could go back for seconds. Did I mention that there was a bar out front, and when they started playing during the interview process, it was super difficult to hear the clues, even with the doors closed. Overall, it was a hot mess! Will not be going back anytime soon, or ever.

Filet Mignon, Heineken's and great service! Could not have been a better Valentine/Birthday night. We have been eating and dancing at Gangster's for over 5 years. Never disappointed.

This was a fun place for a light dinner and music. The piano players were great and the service was top notch. The host was dressed in a suit and looked the part and very handsome. Seeing him at the door was a great start to the evening. The tator tot appetizer was great along with the burger. I will definately go back when I'm in the area again.

I wanted to like this place. Service was slow for a Saturday. All the wait staff were in garb, but the piano players were not. Hey it was alright for what it was.

Awesome venue. Had a blast on NYE. Piano players and drummer are very talented.

Lots of fun. The talent is great, but one of the piano players was just a little too casually dressed. It was like he's used to playing piano from his couch. The bartenders were not great. We had dinner before the show and the food was ok. Pretty sure it was something leftover from a wedding reception. It's a weird vibe where I wonder if the people working there are all just friends and family with no real expectations of exceptional service. Nice entertainment and seems to be the place to go for bachelorette parties. Go, you'll have fun.

Entertaining. Total time about two hours, which we were entertained. Newport, Kentucky was the gambling star until Vegas started decades later.
