Bought tickets with my app and then picked up my tickets at the ticket counter - swift. We were watching a movie that was playing at the Big Screen Bistro for the second time. I'm not sure yet what to make of it.
As far as the movie-it was awesome. We give it an 8/8.5 out of 10 (The Revenant). The woman hacking next to me was a little disturbing since I was eating food. I brought a blanket with me because I recall it being cool in there before and I am glad I did.
I ordered a salad and then noticed that everyone around me who ordered after me were getting their food. About 5 minutes after the movie started my salad showed up. Then I had to ask for silverware. The server reached by my seat to retrieve my silverware and stated that there wasn't any there and left to go get some. TIP: the seats are set up so that the call button to order, silverware and condiments are to the right of the two seat seating section. I was sitting on the left so the silverware my server was reaching for was gone because the party of to sitting in that section rightfully used theirs for their own meal. My husband told me later that he had silverware next to him and didn't realize I was looking for some. Since the movie had started it wasn't something you wanted to make a big deal out of but it would have been a mess if I had tried to eat a chopped salad with my fingers. My salad advertised a balsamic vinegar but if there was any dressing already on the salad It was hard to tell. Next time I think I'll order the dressing on the side. Otherwise the chopped salad with chicken breast was tasty.
I was paying using a gift card and they had no way of scanning my phone right there and said something about me writing a number on my bill. I said I would need a pen but a pen did not arrive with my bill. So, when the movie was finished I proceeded to pay my bill outside the door where all the servers were standing around apparently waiting for others who hadn't paid their bill yet.
My gift card said it had $25 on it but when my server took my iPhone to scan it she said the balance was only $15, which was fine because that is what I was going to pay with the tip anyway. The gift cards seem to take a few days to adjust after you have made a purchase.
The server I had was was somewhat snippy and took off somewhere without a word after handing me my payment to sign which seemed a little unusual for a gift card. I left my husband standing there to wait for her to get back as I was dying to use the restroom. My husband said she was not very friendly but liked to think that she was engaged but customer service was not strong and I guess I can agree with that.
Bottom line, I would eat there again and watch a movie.
10-26-17. Back at the Bistro for an early lunch and a movie. There are 4 of us and we ordered the smash burger with tatie tots, boneless wings, BLT and a
