I loved it. I'm sure it is frowned upon, but I'd go there just for the recliners.

Saw Black Mass there and it was either the recliners or the movie that almost put me to sleep. Either way I'm goin back.

The food was just ok, but I'll go back


We got an appetizer sampler

The soft drinks were like 4.50 but the other prices were on par with a chili's type restaurant

Food is a 3.5/10.

Most recent time I was there the strip of lights illuminating the stairs was blinking/flashing. Very annoying.

Not impressed with the screen size. Not that they can do much about that.

Seats very comfortable.

Wait staff is very meh. Pretty slow. Ate chicken tenders one time and had to wait about 5-7 min to get a napkin.

Oh, nice. I didn't realize it opened cause I never hear about it. I'm going to have to check it out.

I got tickets to Star Wars there opening weekend. Wanted to try it out and figured might as well do it then. I am more excited for the comfy seats than the movie.

Like others have said, the food is meh.

I enjoyed myself though. Those chairs are awesome.

Girlfriend and I saw The Martian last weekend and we loved the experience. Here are my thoughts:

1. The seats are awesome (big comfortable reclining leather chairs). I'll go every time for the seats alone. And being able to reserve your seat is a plus.

2. The people that visit this type of theater appear to be more your families, normal couples, and older folks, as opposed to teenagers running around from movie to movie. I imagine reserved seating eliminates this issue.

3. Food was okay, but compared to what you get in a normal theater, pretty good. I had mahi tacos (solid) and gf had grilled veggie wrap (she enjoyed it). Two drinks and two milkshakes brought the total to around $35. Not terrible at all.

4. Wait staff was meh. Our waiter was nice but he was brand new and still trying to figure it out. Our meal was delivered before our drinks, but a runner got them for us quickly. Napkins or silverware were not provided. Kind of annoying but now we know to ask. We had to flag down a waiter to remind them about the milkshakes (they set a delay for them to be delivered an hour after our meal, but it was pushing two hours before we got them. Paying the bill is a little awkward, as you have to whip your phone out to check the receipt and sign the slip. All that said, not once was I distracted or disturbed by waiters or food runners.

5. Ticket prices are on par with normal theaters. $10 on regular nights and $8 matinees.

I got our tickets for Star Wars on opening night, and this will be our go-to theater unless something really changes.

How does the food work?

Are you served before the film, during?

Does any of this get in the way of the film.
