| - I am mostly a fan of SMG! They almost always have a Groupon, which is a plus for me. I work uptown so it's very convenient to snag a $5 deal and stop in for a movie after work. They usually have a pretty good selection of movies too, almost everything I want to see is playing there.
One of their drawing points though, is also their downfall. I love that they serve food and alcohol in the theater. What is better than eating fries and drinking a beer while you watch a movie? However, some guests seem to think it's a tapas bar and order food and refills constantly throughout the movie, which can be distracting. During one movie, the couple next to me ordered 7 things plus three separate drinks, and then sent one of the drinks back. Even with service during the movie, I still believe that the goal is to be quiet and watch the movie. If you want a full dining experience, go to a restaurant. I can't really blame SMG for this, but I wish there was a cutoff point.
All of the food that I had was good, and they carry local craft beers- they're not on the menu though, you have to ask! All in all, this is an upgrade from the traditional popcorn and purse-candy movie experience!
