| - Hubby and I were looking for a time-killer while in Phoenix for a friend's wedding this weekend. We were pointed to the iPic with glowing recommendations, so decided to catch a movie.
Wow.
We are from LA, land of movies, so you'd think we'd have access to the finest in movie-going experiences out there, but the iPic blew it all out of the water. Beyond the stuff everyone else is talking about (huge, comfy recliners, order-at-your-seat food and drink + free popcorn), I was also pleasantly surprised by the picture and audio quality (not TOO loud, which is always my complaint at movie theatres) - though I would say they could stand to have bigger screens. When you buy the pricier ticket, you sit in the back, and the screen is much smaller than the average (at least at that distance). That is the singular complaint I have about this theatre.
Our food was great. We got a flatbread and mushroom sliders to share, and it was delicious.
Also, the staff deserves kudos. Everyone, from the front desk to our in-theatre wait staff to the random guy who intuited that I was looking for the restroom and pointed me in the right direction with a friendly smile, was top-notch. I hope they pay them well, because they deserve it!
