| - UltraStar cinema is a fun experience when you feel like splurging. I went and saw a movie in the Star Class theaters, and had a good time.
PROS:
-- Big Comfy Seats with big armrests
-- Great Decor
-- Serves Beer and Wine
-- Friendly Staff
-- POPCORN. Can I just say, OMG...they have cheddar, caramel, and kettlecorn popcorn. TIP - get the cheddar and caramel mix together. It's delicious.
CONS:
-- Portion size on food. We definitely went all out on the food and ordered the quesadilla ($7-$9), hummus ($7), and nachos ($7-9). For the prices, they definitely skimp on the portion size.
-- Taste was bland. The food was very mediocre unfortunately and didn't have a lot of flavor.
-- No tray space or place to put your food. The biggest design flaw at this theater is, there's no tray for holding your food. So you're stuck playing this game...where am I putting the food? Armrest? Floor? Lap? Kind of annoying when you feel like stretching out in your seat. Maybe a consideration for the theater...when people get food, leave a tray on a trayjack somewhere so there's extra room for plates.
-- Beer is priced at $7.25 a glass. When you're paying that much for a Blue Moon, you're expecting a normal size glass. NOPE, you get a small glass of beer. My recommendation, stick with the wine as the size is normal.
-- Halfway through our 7pm movie, our waiter dropped the check off and gave us last call. Hmmm a bit early?
Overall I like the concept of UltraStar. I'll definitely be returning...but I'm not willing to pay for the food or beer. I'll just stick to the popcorn and wine.
