| - This was a huge let down for me the other weekend.
Unknowingly, we went on an evening with a bunch of schools attending so even though we got there right as the doors opened, so our seats were in the very last row, in one of the corners of the stadium. If you are stuck in that spot, you are already in a bit of a crap situation, but it only got worse after being seated.
We were the only table within my view eating off of paper plates. Everyone else had actual plates and bowls (as a Yelper has posted pictures), but we got disposables. Apparently they ran out of clean dishes. Okay. When you are paying $70 a head, you like to at least feel like the meal is worth eating off of actual dinnerware.
The schools in front of us were rowdy, and in most cases at Medieval Times this would be awesome - but they were standing up to watch the show and yelling non-stop. We couldn't hear any of the commentary of the show, nor could we actually see the show when they were standing. I'm surprised their servers didn't take care of this, as I'm sure they know it is nearly impossible to see when people are standing in front of you. Eventually I rained on their parade and told the students that none of us could see the show. I wish I went and talked to them earlier though - by then it was about 3/4 of the way through the show.
The meal itself was pretty good. What I would expect out of such an event. The chicken was nicely seasoned and I loved the ribs. My server was very nice and tried to make the best out of our bad seating situation.
What I saw of the show was entertaining, but having a closer seat would have made the world of a difference in my opinion.
Avoid the pre-show drinks. I think I paid $5 for a coke. Really.
