Love the seats, clean, food and drinks were great. I love that it feels private and comfortable. But can we please get rid of these QR codes on the table that are the size of a penny? I always have to ask for a physical menu because the internet doesn't work at the Domain, and it's too dark for the phone to pull up the code.

You walk in expecting a film and suddenly you’re reclining like royalty, pressing a button to summon food and drinks like this is completely normal behavior. The seats are absurdly comfortable, the screens and sound make everything feel cinematic in a “wow I forgot I had a phone” way, and being able to order dinner without missing a single scene feels dangerously empowering. At some point you realize you’re watching a movie, eating well, fully reclined, and wondering why this isn’t the global standard for theaters. You leave relaxed, full, and slightly disappointed that your couch at home will never measure up.

Theatre seating comfort is 5 star, but food is lacklustre, 2 star. Brussel sprouts are tasty but too much sweet sauce. Burger was salty and dry. Fries were awful, cold and not crispy. Even the popcorn wasn’t great. Churros really greasy. Not sure I’d order food next time.
The seats are great, and the blankets seem clean. Server was nice.
