text: I like the idea of Studio Movie Grill better than the actual experience Good food brought to your seat during firstrun movies Sure sign me up But parts of the operation could in my personal opinion be improved nnFirst the hallway between the lobby and the screens was dirty and cluttered like a backstage or behind a bar there were stacks of boxes racks of glasses etc I realize a whole set of dedicated service corridors would be prohibitively expensive but at least make an effort to keep things neat and tidynnSecond our seats backed up against the riser wall so they did not recline They did rock as in back and forth Some seats faced counters which reminded me of sports books in Vegas minus the gambling they had office desk chairs Glad we were not sitting there nnThird the alwayson reading lights are probably necessary to read a menu during a flick but they are annoying and prevent the darkness we are used to at traditional movie theaters By the end of the movie I did get used to it A little light was probably also a good thing for those folks who were eating It is easy to miss how important seeing your food is having to feel around to find your grub and not seeing what goes into your piehole can be unnerving Sight really does inform taste nnAt the end of the day I think the Studio Movie Grill is not better or worse than a traditional cinema experience I think it is probably just different At least the price is right Studio Movie Grill is much cheaper than the theaters we go to back home where we live
