It's a movie theatre that serves food. Great concept, right? We went to see Anchorman 2 on New Year's Day but somehow missed the "grill" part and ate beforehand- bummer. The seats have little trays and buttons to call a server to you while the movie is rolling, which is cool- surprisingly, they don't really disturb you when they're serving other people in the theatre. I don't think I even noticed them roaming around while we watched the movie.
Anyway, the problem with Studio Movie Grill is the whole "seating assignment" thing. We went to see a movie a couple weekends ago and were sadly disappointed that there weren't two seats together anywhere in the theatre. I noticed this when we went to see Anchorman as well- the seat assignments were almost at capacity but the theatre was not. What is that about? We ended up skipping the movie last time and ate dinner at Vida. Bust.
Next time I'll order tickets online and well in advance.
