| - Cool concept! I'm a bit late in trying out the VIP experience, but when you have a 1 year old, date nights are extremely rare.
We bought tickets online, and it was really easy to pick them up using the mobile stand. It wasn't really needed, even on a Friday night as there was no lineup at the box office.
Once we walked up the stairs, we were told seating for our movie would be at 10:30pm (we arrived early on purpose to check out the scene).
We sat at the bar, which was playing the basketball game. My boyfriend loved this.. Again extremely rare to be at a bar watching the game for us. Service at the bar was slow, as they were busy fulfilling the orders from the guests inside the theatres.
Once 10:30pm rolled around we made our way to the theatre, but a cleaning sign was blocking the entrance. Our movie began at 11:00pm, and we were told we had until then to order inside the theatre. We had to wait an additional 15 minutes for our theatre to be cleaned.
Luckily, once seated in the huge comfy chairs we were able to grab a menu and order some snacks. The theatre wasn't full (probably 15% occupied) so ordering didn't take long. Servers come to your seat with an iPad and a moneris machine. Awesome, quick checkout! Our order came in waves during the previews.
Maybe it was the alcohol, but we splurged. We grabbed the buffalo wings with fries, a regular popcorn, a large iced tea, and churros (obviously.) Food was okay, better than you can expect for theatre food.
Will I return? Perhaps. But I can't seem to justify the $100 price tag that came with the night. Maybe I'll stick to Tuesday night deals.
