Possibly the worst movie watching experience i’ve had.
I watched sisu road to revenge in theatre 4 and the audio quality was worse than watching it on my laptop.
I informed the server and they agreed that its not loud enough, and that they would check with management. However, they later said that thats just how it is.
It completely ruined the movie watching experience and wasted $40. Never coming back here.

Nice staff, comfortable seats, better than average food, good presentation. If you want to actually watch the movie, the staff is not empowered to ask people to be less disruptive.
Worst experience was an entire family who acted as though they were at home watching netflix. The kids were just bored & loud, the parents didn't care, and the theatre staff did nothing. 100% would have been a better experience watching at home or at least a cheaper theatre where there's no expectation.
It's probably fine to see a comedy or action movie here, something loud but nothing that would test the attention span of a family.

Manager was watching me the whole entire time, I couldn’t enjoy the movie. All because she wanted to see if my 21 year old sister was going to drink my drink

Tried their watch and dine experience and definitely recommend it! The seats were comfortable, place was clean and food was delicious! Very clean toilets too. I like how they provided blankets because you're definitely going to need it, I'm not sure why they need to run the place to freaking freezing cold - I suggest you bring a jacket for better comfort. Friendly staff and service.
Price guide (as of Oct 2025):
Movie ticket , 1 adult walk in $18.84
Tandoori chicken skewers & margarita $49.56

My wife and I went to see Tron: Aries. The facility is nice, for sure. The music was a little loud, but it was an action/adventure movie, so it wasn't terrible. The seats were nice, but the table for dinner was entirely too small. Other than being a little too loud, the sound and the visuals were fine.
I got the sense that the waitress was just going through the motions. She kept asking "anything else?" like she was in a hurry.
She didn't get my order right. I guess if you know that you're going to get an 18% tip no matter what, you don't really have to pay attention. She said she was going to bring out our dessert after 30 minutes, but it came out about 7 or 8 minutes after our food was delivered. It really emphasized how tiny the table was because it got so crowded.
The portion sizes were small, especially for the price. My wife got the taco plate and a soft drink, and I got a burger and a club soda. We shared a slice of cheesecake for dessert. The total was $74. The food was solid, but nothing to write home about. Certainly not worth what we paid for it.
I'm glad I went. It was an interesting experience. But, for that price, I will not go back. It was insanely expensive for decent, but mediocre, food.
