| - I love movies. I love dinner dates. Farrelli's combines the two, making it the perfect spot for a fun date night!
What an awesome idea! I've been here a few times, most recently to see Iron Man 2. (My boyfriend wanted to see it, and we missed it while it was still at the major theaters. So I decided to take him out on a surprise date!) The tiered levels of seating are great, the seats are comfy, and everyone always has a good view of the screen. The sound system is also very good, even for an action movie like Iron Man 2.
The staff runs this place like a well-oiled machine. Seating begins a half hour before the movie, so you have plenty of time to peruse the menu and order drinks, appetizers, and your main course before the show begins. If you arrive earlier, you can sit in the bar/lounge area and have a drink or two (or head across the parking lot to Sapporo for some happy hour sushi). The servers quietly and unobtrusively move about the theater, bringing food, taking orders, and clearing plates. Each table also has a light-up coaster that can be used to summon a server at any time.
Their drinks are tasty (not at all watered down), and the food is good, though not exceptional. The sandwiches are a great deal at under $10, and they come with a side salad or fries - very filling! I really like the idea of eating a real meal and having a few drinks while enjoying a movie. Don't get me wrong, I love the popcorn at Harkins, but there's something different and a little romantic about enjoying a cocktail and sharing some baked brie with someone special.
I highly recommend Farrelli's for anyone looking for a different "date" atmosphere or an evening out with a group of friends.
