Great place to enjoy delicious food and the atmosphere is really cool. If you like movies and retro style dinners, this is definitely it. The service was really good, they were all very sweet and helpful. They constantly came by and asked if everything was okay and if we needed ... anything. She also made sure that none of our food touched any pork since we are Muslim and can’t eat any pork. She made sure that the grill top was cleaned and nothing was fried. Read more

Absolutely immaculate vibes in here, the attention to detail in the decor and menu is astounding. It's clear that this restaurant is a love letter to film from a small family business. It's truly a unique restaurant and experience. The service was also fantastic. The coffee was 10/10, home fries ... were nicely crisped and seasoned, and myself and my group were all please with our meals. Could not recommend this place enough, I'm so glad I came here. Thanks everyone!! Read more

So. The atmosphere was top notch, very fun, amazing food names and also playing awesome movies. The service, not so much. We were waiting a while for our drinks and it wasn't busy at all. No one came to check on us throughout the meal. No one asked why 3/4 of the ... meal was still on the plate at the end. The food; great presentation, not so great quality. All the potato products were unpleasantly undercooked (fries and home fries), I couldn't eat more than 5 or 6. The French toast wasn't edible. It basically tasted like soggy bread with egg mixed in. The bacon and eggs were ok tho. Unfortunately, as fun as the environment was. The food wasn't worth the 50$ we spent, or worth us returning. Read more
