Nice theater with comfortable seats. The seats recline and have attached tables that swivel to you and away from you making it easy to get in and out of your seat. You can buy tickets ahead of time and it is reserved seating. The seating are setup so no one is directly behind you to kick your seat and no one in front of you to block your view. They serve food and alcohol here but it is different than competitors such as Cinépolis because they don't have waiter service in the theater. You order and get your food and drink in the lobby and then take it to your seat. In some ways not as convenient but then there are no waiters walking in front of you during the movie. If you live in the area, it is a great place to catch a movie.

I love this theatre - the chairs are awesome, the food is decent, beers on tap are great. I like that servers do not go into the theatre and bring the food. My favorite thing is Sunday mornings before noon, movies only cost $8.50 and you get a free cup of coffee!

The seats are terrific and there are nice tables that swivel to you and away so you can get out of your seat easily. You can order food from your seat and they bring you your food. Top notch movie theater. I'll be back.

This is a lovely theatre! They serve food in lobby, if necessary, or just snacks to take into theatre. Seats are very comfortable. You can reserve in advance, however, there is a service charge...could make the difference between getting the seat you want. Prices are a bit steep but there are times when it's less...check online. One of my favorite theatres.

This is a wonderful place to go for a movie and some light food. They have a nice cafe there with a fairly large menu from salads, to sandwiches to burger and fries plus if you want it wine or beer and various desserts. There is a fire pit outside plus tables and chairs for outdoor seating for dinner. The theaters are small with reclining quite comfortable seats. If you don't want to wait in line for tickets they have a ticket kiosk in the lobby for all the movies. You just use your credit card. You can also buy tickets online ahead of time. Everyone working there is really nice, very friendly. I don't eat spicy food but the cashier taking my order had no trouble switching to a less Spivey dressing for me. It is a fun place for date nigh with your spouse. I highly recommend it.

Stadium seating with recliner seats that are very comfortable. The theaters are not overly big and are a nice intimate size. Can get drinks and food and either way inside the theaters are at the outside seating area. Highly recommend for a date night.

Love, love this place!! They offer special movie ticket prices, and offer 50% off of food after the show when you show your movie stub. Their food is really good, too. Also, this theater has special showings & some award winning movies not shown elsewhere. Seats recline, screen is very large & clear. Also, theater has surround sound. ☺🖒👍

Absolutely love this place. If you're going to have a date night or just enjoy a movie to yourself, this is the way to do it. Friendly staff, good movie selection and a very comfortable theater. my only suggestion would be to hire an actual bartender for the drinks. But that being said, it is a movie theater, everything else is top notch! Lindsay W. showed us this theater and I am thoroughly impressed.

I've seen nearly forty films here now, so I think I'm finally qualified to write a review. In short: this theatre made me a fan of film.

The staff is friendly, accountable, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is cozy, and familiar. The wide selection of food and drink are delicious and satisfying.

The $8.50 pre-noon showings are a staple of my weekend routine. At the price, the amenities and luxuries of this theatre cannot be beat. Even at full price, you'll pay a fair amount less than you'd pay at similar luxury theatres in the area.

I anticipate I'll be moving out of San Diego soon and, as weird as it is to say, this theatre will be one of the things I miss most. It has become something of a second home. Give it a try, if you're in the area. You'll love it, everyone does.

It was clean and the food was really good. The theatre itself was kind of small but I liked the intimate feeling of it. The chairs were comfortable, the staff polite and welcoming. They also had some creative ways they promoted things. Overall worth the money and will definitely go again

The seats were comfy lazy boy style, i barely noticed i had neighbors. They had assigned seating, and a great sound system. The prices are a lil higher, but the whole atmosphere feels like a special treat, it's very nice and perfect for a date.

Very nice theater with reserved seating, and very comfortable seats. We were a very disappointed with our $9 bag of popcorn. Not good. And it wasn't easy getting a refund. Overall decent experience though.

In light of this being marketed as a more upscale theater experience, I think they do a pretty good job. The lobby has a fresh look to it, not your typical theater lobby, and the prices are not really that bad (concession stand) given theater prices are outrageous anyway...$9 for a large popcorn (though I didn't see how big it really was. I hear the cafe upstairs is over priced, unless you use the 50% off deal if you go after the movie.

The place was clean, though the lobby was a bit small for the number of people.

The theater, at least the one I was in, was smallish, and the seats were very plush, and would be very comfortable, if sized for me. I'm 5-11, and the back was just not sized for me. If I had been a few inches shorter, it might have been great. Instead I shifted in my seat frequently.

Great movie theater! Not expensive for what they offer, if you are not going to eat or drink, it is actually less expensive than regular crowded theater. Comfortable seats, clean, great atmosphere!
I'll never go back to regular theaters!
