Well, I have not read any reviews so I thought I would share our experience! We went to see The Avengers and did the whole dine in theater experience. The movie part is fabulous. The seating is assigned by purchase, so when you get your tickets you see what seats are taken and pick where you will be seated. The seating is arranged in groups of 4, so no matter where you sit you can always get out to use the restroom without interuppting too many people. The seats are big and comfy, there is a pole you can put your feet up on, and the seats lean back. The tables to eat are in front of you and require you to sort of lean forward which was ok but would not work for long periods of time.
Ok, you get seated and order your drinks right away. They have a call light you can press if you need your waiter or a refill during the movie. They fully explained how it all works at the begginning and our waiter was very nice and prompt with our sodas. We ordered an appetizer, potato skins, they were ok, your basic fare. We then figured we would be safe and order chicken finger baskets. I got the onion rings and my husband got the parmesean fries with his. The chicken strips were disgusting! Pressed fake chicken. Very poor quality. Weird rubber chewy things in them, barf. Onion rings had a sweet tasting batter, could have been good if they were not soggy. They were totally soggy. I did not say anything to my husband I did not want to complain. He said " this is gross". He agreed with me on the chicken fingers and the special parmesean fries are just soggy fries with parmesean cheese dumped on. Way too soggy. Neither of us ate any of the entree other than the first two bites. Gross!!! The food check was about $50 so it was overpriced and bad food.
So here is the verdict. The seating and theater was great. The food was not good. I would recommend just appetizers, or you can go with popcorn and drinks like a normal movie. We decieded we would do this again, but just do popcorn and sodas, or apps and adult drinks. No more crappy overpriced food. Yuck. Next time we will do dinner first somewhere good. Like Earl of Sandwich which is way less expensive and way better.
Few other things
- the eating all took place at the beginning of the movie so there were not a lot of interuptions even though other guests were calling for refills etc. We hardly noticed it.
- I did not enjoy 3d and eating. I like to look at my food. Maybe I am weird.
- The place was empty when we were there, I am not sure I would have enjoyed having another twosome so close eating food. lol.
- perhaps some of the other entrees are good? Please let me know!
-some of the other patrons did drink a lot of alcohol and they got a bit noisy toward the end, but not too bad.
