Hidden away in an innocuous-looking building in the South End, this theater-restaurant offers up a truly original dining experience. A troupe of second-rate actors, musicians and comedians dressed in ridiculous Middle-Age costumes perform a series of raunchy skits and songs. During the performance, the actors somehow find time to serve up a not-quite-authentic medieval meal including vegetarian “dragon” soup, spiced shrimp, strips of beef, and roasted herbed chicken, all of which is eaten without knife, fork, or spoon. You may also enjoy complimentary beer or wine with some ticket purchases, and you'll need plenty of it to really get the most out of the show. If you go with a large group, you just might have a great time. 21+, so make sure you bring your ID or a parent. Admission (which includes the meal but not the tip) ranges from $25-45, with the higher prices on weekends. Reservations are required. Private parties of up to 90 are available.
