| - My first time going to this theater with my family as we have a tradition of going to see a movie on Christmas. I was surprised how early we they were open as the film that we wanted to see was showing at 7:15 and 9:30 in the morning!
The whole building is HUGE! When you walk in, you see the concessions area, to the right you see several of those soda machines where you can add a million different flavors to it, and on your left there is a bar. I think that's cool, but why do I need to drink at a movie theater? I don't need a cocktail to help me fall asleep during the movie. The dark room and comfy chairs already do the trick lol.
What was a new experience for me was their Bistro screen areas. They have four screens with the electric recliners with heated seats (really, is that necessary?), and they have a full service menu.
Each chair has a little swivel table with a cupholder, and you can order food from sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and pizzas plus you can order drinks. A server comes up to you before the movie to take your order.
I wasn't terribly hungry to have a meal, but did get a snack of the deep fried pickles. I thought they were pretty good, my Dad got the cheese curds and wasn't thrilled with them. I'm kind of glad I didn't get anything else. Just like the concessions the prices are pretty expensive. Based on what we got, I bet the meals you can get are also not worth spending the money.
I don't go to a theater to eat, just to watch movies. They are doing a really good job of creating a better experience for movie goers. For me personally, I don't need all the fancy amenities.
