| - This is our second time going to ipic. First time we didn't really prepare - we got the last seats, on the day we were going, to see The Fighter. We didn't realize that you have to book in advance to get the good seats. We sat at the front with in the gold seats. Nothing special they are just comfy. We had 2 drinks at Salt which were good, very pretty looking! The movie was good, we got to take in the wine we bought from the wine dispensing machines! So cool! You buy a credit-like card and pop it in and select how many ounces you want and type of wine you want. They have 2 machines - the prices are high but it is a cute idea and great for dates. The only down side is that it pours the exact ounce you order - rather than ordering from a bartender who will usually over-pour. We went to the restaurant attached to the theatre, Tanzy, after the movie, it was ok - nothing special.
The second time we went to iPic was this past Friday. We went to Narcisse first for some champagne before the movie and we really liked that. Narcisse is also at the top of the escalator at the end of where Salt Lounge is located. We ordered our tickets on Wednesday (2 days prior) and got great platinum seats. They reclined, we got valet parking (they validate it when you pick up your tickets), unlimited popcorn - we got tons! [The valet parking is worth it since last time we went it took us a while to drive all the way to the bottom to find a parking spot] You also get blankets and pillows which were clean (I was a little skeptical about this feature at first). The movie wasn't good (No Strings Attached) but the seats were great! Oh yes we were starving when we got out and nothing was open so we ordered "Gold Class Nachos" from Salt Lounge which were $10 and some flatbread that I can't find on the menu now at Salt after. Okay so the waitresses at Salt Lounge are interesting. We see one of them serve the ladies at the couches beside us our nachos and we watch as the girls start eating them knowing they weren't there's. The waitress comes back and notices her mistake, picks up the nachos and hands them to us! I was disgusted! I was like ummm those ladies touched and ate half of these! So she went back and (hopefully) brought us a new plate. I won't go back to eat there again but they serve Fresca as a mixer so I would just go for drinks.
Overall it is a great movie experience - tons of drinks, food, and they treat you very well. Just a little on the expensive side for a weekly movie.
