★★★★★Featured review by Kenneth Wilson

This was our first time here. You need to place your food and beverage orders prior to arriving on the website. It is cumbersome to plunk in your order at the kiosk after you arrive or get there early. The food was hot and delicious. We were fortunate enough to have a staff person deliver our food to our seats but that is not standard. Don't forget to have your parking validated after the movie. At the greeting podium center of lobby. Seating was luxurious. Theatre is beautiful. Parking was easy but we went at 4pm on a Thursday. Elevators to mezzanine entry. Beautiful view of Camelback Mountain. Restrooms are modern and immaculate. Staff was pensive but helpful. We enjoyed the expirience and know more for our next visit.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older kids who can sit through longer movies, as the dine-in concept adds significant time. The experience varies greatly by seating section and staff, so manage expectations. Weekday visits offer better service and smaller crowds than weekends.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Order food online before arrival to avoid kiosk confusion at the theater
⏰Get parking validated at the greeting podium in the lobby after the movie
đŸŽŸī¸Visit on weekdays for better service and less crowded experience
🚗Arrive early if you need to place orders at the kiosk instead of online

“Loved! Loved! Loved! I have never been to a theater like this and what a treat. I was a little confused with the ordering process. You order on a screen and then a waiter/ waitress brings your stuff. They also had a full bar. Full recliner seats. How cool is that? Totally impressed and will definitely go again.”

“Loved the theatre but not the person who brought our food, seemed like he hated being there and we were a bother. The movie was awesome but the seats not being the recliners sucks but they get uncomfortable after a while. It was clean and it is a great place but the prices can be egregious. The food is great as always they did remove some of my favorites from back when I used to go here regularly. It is a great place to go since its never overly packed except on the weekends. The lady who helped us when we walked in was really friendly and felt like she wanted to be there compared to the one who brought us our food. Would recommend going during the weekdays it's just an all around better time”

“Almost a half hour of trailers before the movie started. I thought they had fixed this issue a long time ago. The seats were very uncomfortable and too close to the row in front of them. And they didn't even seem like they were secured to the floor and for big old supposedly comfortable high end seats, they were rickety feeling. The audio quality was terrible.”
