Can we just show up?

Not a good idea.  We only prepare enough meals to accomodate advance deposited reservations.  If some parties arrive smaller than intended, we may be able to accomodate you.  If not, save $11, sit in the boondocks, buy drinks from the bar and watch others enjoy the Royal Treatment.
Can customers bring cameras and take pictures?

Still yes, video no.  Please be discreet with flash photography and send us copies to put online, photos@medievalmanor.com.
Can I choose where we sit?
Well, sort of.  You can request specific seating (your own table, a certain server, in front, on the side etc.) and we will do our best.  To make it as easy as possible to fulfill your request, your entire party needs to arrive as soon as the doors open.  We cannot hold seats forever.  You may also consider stacking the deck by becoming a Friend (of the King) with benefits.
Can my friends book their own reservation and join us?
Sorry, the only way we can guarantee they sit at your table is if you change your reservation (or provide them with the last 4 numbers of the credit/debit card you used to book your reservation so they can change it and add to your payment or if you buy online and provide them with your reservation code).  This is intended to expedite seating to everyone's benefit (too much time spent at check-in can delay or shorten the show) and to ensure your group doesn't overspend.  Certain additions can void a discount or a specific seating request you've made as larger parties have fewer options.  It's also best to keep things as simple as possible when dealing with the likes of us.
Is it still all you can drink?
Never has been.  Each Royal Treatment admission includes a drink token which can be exchanged (assuming sobriety) for either
  • a half gallon pitcher of Michelob Amber or Pabst Blue Ribbon
  • or a half litre carafe of Paul Masson Chablis
For those who do not want (or cannot have) alcohol we offer
  • a litre carafe of our own "mock mead" (pomegranate/honey/decaf iced tea)
  • or a bottle of IBC diet root beer.
A party of 10 would initially redeem some of their 10 tokens to get the variety they want.  Remaining tokens then refill those containers throught the show.  Though it rarely happens, additional tokens can be purchased for $4 each at manager's discretion.
Someone in our party tonight is a vegetarian. What will she get?
We request 24 hours notice for substitutes, but will do our best.  Everyone (including omnivores) gets pepper cheese trenchers (pizza), salad and steamed vegetables.  When pre-ordered* substitutes are provided for the beef rib and or chicken, they are a vegetable crudite with hummus and a red bean and rice wrap respectively.  Faux Dragon soup is no longer vegan, but remains gluten free (an orange vegan version is available*).  Nothing is offered in place of the mussels.  Oh well, to shell with 'em.
Are you able to accommodate a guest who must eat gluten free?
Not to worry.
  • There is no hidden gluten (soy sauce etc.).  If it looks like bread (or beer) it is
  • Ribs are stacked on a pita lined platter.  Ask and we will plate your rib seperately to avoid unlikely molecular level transfer.
  • Except for the pound cake mix there is no raw flour in the house.  Any surface contaminated in any food handling activity is always sanitised.
What about peanuts?

Not to worry.  There are no nuts or nut products in any menu item (including peanuts).  The only "nuts" are one or two performers in the King's court and the occassional customer.
Is there a discount for Red Hat Ladies?
Yes.  All parties of 16 or more with everyone over 21 paying in full in advance get a $50 large group discount if they all come to eat, drink and be merried.  Alternatively, at 4:30 Saturday and Sunday performances, officially attired Red Hat Society groups eat for free, a $7 per hat discount.

Most Red Hatters have enjoyed themselves in the past with or without discounts.  The most frugal ones are Early Birds.
Are gift certificates available?
Yes, online or by phoning 617 423 4900.  They can be purchased in any amount and are valid for either seven years or if you prefer, for a specific date of your choosing.
Is there bus parking nearby?
Most buses park in front of our building as it is permitted after 6 weekdays and all weekend long.  If it arrives when parking lot opens, we can back it in and charge you $10.  There is also free bus parking one block over on Traveler Street.
What exactly am I coming to see? I thought you watched fighting and ate whole turkey legs.
Our comedic roots are in vaudeville and burlesque, not odiferous Ren Faire pageantry.  Our scripted show allows improvisational interaction between cast and an audience who frequently choose to bring a variety of life celebrations to the "King".  We do not try to send you back in time but bring a lampooned past back to you.
