What a great place! I don't often do reviews. My sever mentioned feedback being appreciated, though, so I have to start with him.
I came in with my husband and his family for our anniversary last night (Melissa McCarthy as the Sea Witch, herself? How could we NOT?). To say that my server was absolutely hilarious and charming in a genuine way undersells the experience. It's not like a traditional restaurant where everyone sits in a circle, so I imagine it is hard to build up a repertoire, but he pulled it off! Thank you, Jay. Bonus points for making my SIL ugly laugh! I was able to catch that for The Gram, so perfect timing! (Sorry if I embarrassed you!)
There was also a Bridgette who helped us near the end. We didn't interact much, but the movie was already playing (so that is a good thing). Thank you for being quick and considerate! I can't imagine how awkward it is to hear everyone during a movie.
Next, I love how quick the food came out, and it was very good, too! The theater had to have over 100 people in it, and there are more than 8 theaters, so it is beyond me how you do that. We own a traditional restaurant, and if we ever had 100 people at the same time, the kitchen would probably melt. Thank you to whoever prepares the food.
It was not terribly clean in the bathrooms, but this probably comes back to the number of people that come in and out at the same time. I did see people moving around cleaning the front area when we left, so I know it is not being ignored. Maybe check more often? Every toilet in the men's restroom was unpleasant (almost like people were aiming for the seats - eww). I almost took a star away here, but the food and service made up for it.
The seats were comfortable and reclined further than you might expect. Plus they are heated, so that's always a plus! I could have fallen asleep.
TLDR; The food was fast and tasted good. The service was better than it had any business being both before and during the movie. The seats were cozy. This is a great place for date night, and might just be my new favorite movie theater. I will be back for Spider-Man (already bought my tickets).
This was my first time at a dine-in theater, and I will do a review for my blog next time. I never even got to check out the bar!
