Now Here's a REEL Movie EXPERIENCE!


I AM RUINED!!! I will NEVER be able to see a movie the same again!!!

This place is "Movie Experience Extraordinaire!" If you want to score 100 "Cool Points" with anyone, treat them to a Gold Class Cinema Night (even if its just the movie ticket itself!) This place is BONA FIDE!
You first walk through the glass doors, down the carpeted stairs and into an entirely new world. You are greeted immediately by a concierge, and are seated in the exclusive lounge where you are given a menu to browse through. From the minute you open the glass door and look in, you feel like a whole new person – you feel like royalty. NO JOKE! The staff members attend to your every need and ensure that you completely understand the services they provide. They make you feel comfortable and are very friendly. After being escorted to your seat the waiters show you where the "call button" is, (yeah you heard me...the CALL BUTTON) which enables you to receive service during the movie for ordering food or drink, or blankets and pillows or whatever needs you may have. They also show you where the seat recline button is located and the secret side pocket to hide your coat or purse!!

There is little to no interruption when the waiters bring in food and drink, they are never in the way of the screen and the main time that you actually notice them is when they are attending to your needs, not anyone else’s. Once you are seated, it only takes a second for you to realise the level of comfort you are about to experience. The seats are incredibly soft and comfortable. They recline back so far that you’re almost lying down. The food is miles above standard popcorn-and-hot-dog fare, with options including crisp Maine lobster rolls w/ sweet Thai chili sauce and lemon aioli, house made chips with bleu cheese fondue, and a Waygu burger duo w/ applewood-smoked bacon and onion rings on a brioche bun, (which I've enjoyed both times I've attended) all of which are made specifically to be utensil-less, so you can easily eat with your hands. Gourmet Popcorn in 3 flavors, plus regular Hot Buttered Popcorn w/o that nasty "mystery butter" that we're accustomed to! "Gold Class adds another level of pixie dust to the whole experience of going out to the movies," It's an illusion of perfect comfort inside an already illusional cinematic world.

My advice: go on Tuesdays when the menu is half-priced!!! Park in the Fair Oaks garage because they validate. And if its your BIRTHDAY...definitely get over there... because your ticket is FREE if you take a friend. (Terri and I took two friends on our birthday and we each simply paid $11 for our tickets!!)

WE HAD A BLAST!!!!
