| - First, I would never say this is in Quail Hollow. This is smack dab in the Arboretum.
My first two times I went to Cinebarre I was NOT a fan at all, but kept being dragged back because it is convenient and movie times seem to work with my schedule better. I have now gone several times and have become a fan, mostly because of the food!
As far as the movie experience goes, it is OK. Because of the nature of the seating, you have a bar almost at eye level which takes some getting used to. And while having wait service through the movie sounds like a great idea, it is annoying when a waitress comes by with you bill 40 minutes before the movie is over. It absolutely ruins the movie since at that point you have to lean forward and try to quietly have a business transaction with the waitress while not bothering anyone around you AND not missing any of the movie. And I will guarantee you that at some point during the movie, someone will accidentally kick the metal cover to the stands and make a loud dinging noise.
So why do I like it? The FOOD IS SO GOOD. You can't beat the convenience of dinner and a movie at the same place, especially around the Arboretum/Stonecrest area where wait times for dinner on a Friday night can be over an hour at some places. At Cinebarre, you can go, sit, order, and not miss any of your movie. I tend to go to bed early because I am super cool, so getting dinner AND then staying up late enough to see a movie was not happening for me. This way my old, tired butt can watch a movie and have dinner and still be home in bed by 10 on a Friday night. (Again, it's because I am so cool).
On to the food, which has really changed my opinion of this place. I am not a meat eater, so I LOVE the Braveheart pizza which is spinach, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, garlic and goat cheese. Not only does it taste good, it is big enough for two people to split for $13. In addition to a variety pizzas, they have the standard bar fare of cheese sticks, chicken fingers, wings, all of which have adorable movie themed names like "Some Like It Hot Wings", "Children of the Popcorn" and "Soylent Greens Salad". There is also a full bar that serves wine, beer and mixed drinks including a Donnie Daiquiri and a Lolita Margarita. And don't forget about dessert! Try the Princess Leis, 6 cinnamon rolls dripping in vanilla cream frosting.
This past Sunday I went to the 10:50 am movie, which in retrospect is a GREAT time to go. We had 6 people in our theater and the ticket price was a mere $6 vs the normal $10.50 rate. (TIP: Movies are $6 ALL DAY on Tuesdays). The full menu was available but they also have a brunch menu available Saturday and Sundays before 2pm. I had a hard time choosing between the French Connection french toast, the Desperado burrito with scrambled eggs, peppers, black beans and cheddar but ended up choosing the Breakfast of Champions, a pizza with ranchero sauce, scrambled eggs, goat cheese, spinach and tomato. It was DELICIOUS. I ate half of it there, reheated the rest later the day and am craving it so much I am thinking of going to the movies again this coming Sunday just so I can have the pizza.
Is it perfect? No....but given the other theaters around town, I'd choose Cinbarre any day.
