It's ok for what it is. Â I just can't justify paying the hefty price tag that goes along with it. Â You have more room, get to chow down and drink etc but to me that isn't that big of a deal. Â The food isn't anything special warranting the price. Â Service is good and the actual theater itself is kept clean.
Review Source:My husband and I come here if there is a movie we really want to see and we are marking that as a special occasion. Â Kids are not allowed in this part of the theater. Â The food is always good and the drinks are expensive but well made. Â I liken it to first class flying. Â The seats are large and leather and food is placed before you on a tray that can be retracted when you are done. Â This is not the place for those who want to save money. Â Enjoy your first class movie going experience.
Review Source:This place is a great date night place. You can watch a movie and have drinks AND order your dinner! It's a great atmosphere and the chairs are so big and comfy! I had a burger and fries while I watched Fast & Furious 6 and my hubby had a beer...how cool is that?! It's limited seating so if you wanna go with a group of friends, prebook your tickets!
Review Source:If you want to fly first class at a movie theater -- then this is the place. Yes, the 17% automatic gratuity is steep, but make sure you get to the show early -- make them work for that money. We showed up 25 minutes prior to show and it was way too rushed. We never got refills on our drinks and I had to go to bar during movie. I got the meatball sliders and it was delicious. Melted in my mouth. My husband got the burger and said it was tasty. By no means is it Ruth Chris Steak House -- it is pub type food. We enjoyed it immensely. The over sized leather seats were so comfy. I liked the balcony above the general admission seating below us. There were no people around us texting and talking. (My biggest pet peeve is people texting and talking in a movie). Heck, even the cell phone lights going off and on around you can be so annoying/distracting. So, if you are looking to spend a little extra for a fun afternoon or evening out to the movies -- then try CineBistro.
Review Source:Our first choice for movie-watching close to home. Located upstairs of the Cobb Theater in The Grove in Wesley Chapel, this offers a more grown up experience. Take all the things you hate about a "regular" movie theater...teenagers, being squished into a chair, the annoying guy that sits right next to you when there's seats elsewhere, no legroom, people bumping your seat, no way to "reserve" your seats...and take them out of the equation. Also add in the choice of alcoholic beverages and desserts brought to your seat. Totally worth the extra couple dollars you pay for a seat.
The Cinebistro is located upstairs, and you end up watching the movie from a balcony inside of the regular theater. From below in the regular theater, patrons can hear you but not see you. You are farther from the screen, but it doesn't make a difference as you end up higher with an unobstructed view. The oversized comfy seats are arranged in pairs, with a removable armrest in the middle, which turns your seats into a sort of loveseat. There are tables that turn in and out depending on if you're eating, and also cupholders to hold your drink. Plenty of legroom, no bumping, and there's plenty of seats between you and the person on your other side (whom you did not come with).
You really make the most (or least) out of this experience depending on what you want. You can get away with spending about $5 more than you would for regular tickets, or you could end up spending $100 for your date night at the movies if you choose to drink and dine, as well. We've eaten here plenty of times, and the food is okay, but nothing to write home about. They have a burger that has shredded pork on top that is pretty darn good, and I love that you can get sweet potato fries with your entree. Salads are good, and their grilled chicken sandwich is pretty tasty.
What we end up doing most of the time, is just not ordering food. We buy our tickets on fandango, which allows us to choose our seat, we show up at the theater and walk upstairs, swipe our card and out pop our tickets. We wait until it's time to be seated and we order a soda and popcorn to share and enjoy the show in our comfy seats. The only thing we've been disappointed by is that the selection differs from downstairs, meaning no Coke Zero and other things. No prob;em, though, because you can go downstairs and get things and bring them back up with you.
In order to get dining service, you must arrive 30 minutes prior to showtime. The servers come to you, take your order, bring your food, and ring you out from your seat. They do automatically add 17% gratuity to orders, but you can adjust this and have them change it to whatever amount you want. Once the movie begins, food service is over. They have appetizers (and popcorn and candy), sodas, mixed drinks, beer (even pitchers), and desserts along with coffee. A nice selection.
Just a tip: I've seen people complain about having their food/plate stuck in front of them the whole movie. They stop dining service once previews begin, but if you flip your tray to the "out" position when done eating, and it's before the movie, they will come and take your dirty dishes away. Putting your tray out is the sign that you are done.
This is a tough one as I'm not sure if I should judge as a movie theatre of restaurant so I'll judge as both. Overall as a movie theatre it's the best you'll find anywhere, as a restaurant though it's the worst you'll find anywhere. The experience at the theatre is awesome because you can drink and snack while watching movies in a lounge chair. The trick though is to eat before you get there, sneak in a snack and enjoy a pitcher while watching. The food is just too expensive as a burger goes for like $12 and I honestly got the wrath of food poisoning from the shrimp pasta dish 2 months ago. If you're going to drink with a friend of spouse, make sure to buy the pitcher as it's only $12 whiile an individual beer goes for $7. If you go often definately use the Rewards card as it's totally worth it. Have fun and enjoy the show...in style!
Review Source:CineBistro is to movie theaters like 1st class is to airlines. Â You're going to pay more, but you get better seating, service and food even though you're in the same theater watching the same movie.
Compared to other "dinner & movie" locations CineBistro fared above average. The food and service were better than I've had at other dinner & movie locations. Â Their menu has unique items, and the flavors were much better in my opinion than expected. Â The wait staff takes the orders prior to the previews, that's why you should arrive 30 min prior. Â They don't interrupt during the movie to bring your food or give you your check. Â
The chairs were big and relaxing, with a center cup holder and swivel table. Unlike the other theaters dedicated to dinner & movie, CineBistro is located on the mezzanine level of the movie theater, but after the movie started, I totally forgot I was upstairs. It felt like I was right in front of the screen, but without tilting my head. Â Overall, it's a good date night location when you want to splurge on a movie & dinner in one place. Â
Pros: Food, service, seating
Cons: Price, you have to arrive 30 min prior to the movie to place your order
The only good thing about CineBistro is the large seats and having to be at least 21 years old to sit upstairs. The food is sub-par, very limited and an automatic 18% gratuity is added to the bill.
On popular movies I do not have a problem paying the extra to sit upstairs and pick out which seat I want to sit in. If the movie is not premiering that weekend or that popular, I would recommend saving your money and sit downstairs.
Positives nice chairs spacious.
Awesome movie - fast five.
Negatives overpriced less than mediocre food, no big deal drinks, and yes farther from the movie than the less expensive seats.
U can get almost the same fd for half the price when u watch the movie downstairs at regular tv.
Lastly they automatically add 17% tip for the dining service.
I'll def go to another movie theater.
We saved money by using living social fandango coupon, but made it up in the crappy expensive fd.
The menu is interesting, and movie themed, i.e. calamari in a popcorn box. Â The food is always good, and the items change. Â Nothing beats kicking back in a big comfy chair with a margarita and holding hands with your honey while watching the real big screen!
Beware: Â Kids aren't welcome in the dining area.
Over priced. Â You actually sit FURTHER away from the screen if you had a regular ticket. Â The food was terrible, and a ripoff. Â The popcorn chicken is literally half popcorn. Â They only put a little chicken on the top and use the popcorn as filler. Â I paid $10+ to eat 3 pieces of dry chicken.
