We visited this theater for the first time to watch the movie Tyler Perry’s Acrimony. The theater is clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the sound is perfect and the screen size is just right. I particularly enjoyed the clarity of the movie, and the nice sized reclining chairs. We will visit again.

Imagine combining Specs Music, Blockbuster, and Hot Topic/ Spencer's with a movie theater. But wait, there's more. Once in the theater, picture reclining seats with a short tray on one side (like in grade school) with a dim light under the tray. Now add a good quality restaurant food and service, a few cocktails, wine, and beer. Yes, there are great gluten-free options. And then let the movie play. In our case, the movie was about 3 hours long. We had plenty of time to appreciate the accommodations. On our way in and out of the movie, I enjoyed the feeling of nostalgia that the movie posters, VHS, DVD, furniture, and other classic movie relics created. I will surely visit again.

Wonderful staff and venue. Can’t say enough about this theater. Great popcorn, wine and beer. No bad seats but a place that closer to the screen is better. If you a dying for a movie this is a safe and terrific experience
