Reviews

Nice theatre, but I wish they offer a better food selection. It would also be nice to offer a true luxury experience (blanket, service, ambiance). Their servers can use some training for sure. I was extremely disappointed that they didn't have any caramel popcorn, even though it was on the menu.
CMX CineBistro is a fantastic movie theater with very comfortable seats and a unique dining experience. The seats are reclining, perfect for enjoying a movie in comfort.

One of the highlights is the in-seat service. Servers come to your seat, take your order, and bring it right to you, so you don't have to miss any moments of the movie. You can even order alcohol, which adds a nice touch to the experience.

However, be aware that a 18% gratuity is already included in your bill. They still have a line below for additional gratuities, and it's easy to miss the included gratuity and end up adding another 20%. This happened to us a few times, so make sure to double-check your bill.

Overall, CMX CineBistro provides a great movie-going experience with the added convenience of dining and drinks right at your seat. Just keep an eye on your bill to avoid over-tipping!

Amazing customer service and really clean and well maintained screens.
Definitely recommend trying the food.
We had a couple burgers and fries and Wagyu sliders.

Really great experience overall.
The go to for date nights and family movies
For the location, the price and the hype. This place is awfully running. Servers / associate not knowing how to be professional and perform their role. I felt my food was handled un hygienic. Glass are dirty with stain. Theater had a weird smell. 11$ popcorn that was salty and cold.

Do not recommend.
Do bot come.
The theater was really Awesome . My husband and I came to the CMX Tyson’s galleria on a date night . I saw the video on instagram and told my husband we should come for a date night. The food was hot delicious and we had prompt service. I ate the lobster tempura and shrimp linguine . My husband had the Chef’s special steak asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The cleanliness was on point and comfortable seating for the full luxury experience 10 out of 10 5 Stars. I recommend everyone to come and enjoy its worth it. We will be back.
This theater used to be amazing, before it got so popular. The food is good but the selections are minimal.
I feel that since it has gotten so popular due to social media, it has become very “Slum.”
People talking and shouting while the movie is on, flashing cameras and lights on while the movie is playing. All things you don’t want when paying for a “luxury” movie experience.
I waited to give my review after attending more than 4 times to give it the benefit of the doubt, same result the last 3 times .

I’ve been here countless times and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. That’s why when my mom was in town, I decided to bring her here since she loves Italian food. Who would have known this would turn into a nightmare.

The food is still top notch and our server was nice. However, when we received the bill, we were surprised that we got charged $15 for the water, since all we asked for was “water with no ice”. We communicated with our server that we were not informed the water was not free. A few minutes later, the restaurant manager, Liz, came out and the first thing she said was “you want the water for free? What else do you want for free? Do you want this food and dish free as well?” We were all shocked by her response. She immediately framed us as trying to skip out on a bill by saying so without any communication with us, while the point we tried to make was the process was unfair. She went on and said “how would you not know you need to pay for bottled water?” Because our server took the bottle with him after he poured the water for us and we never got to see the bottle. I’ve had bottled water (not those fancy ones with a logo on it) in many fine dining restaurants and was never charged for them. We never asked for expensive bottled water, and we are not trying to dodge the bill.

When I tried to explain to my mom what was happening (she was not an English speaker), Liz tried to stop me from speaking a language other than English.

We eventually left the water charge as a tip although the general manager, Brandon (he was reasonable and good at communication btw) intervened and took water out of our receipts. I’m not sure if I will want to visit this location again after such traumatic experience.

Although not having vegan options, they catered to me amazingly. Offered pizza without cheese (since they don’t have vegan cheese), & pasta with tomato sauce and whichever vegetables i wanted. As a starter they said they could do the bread (without parmesan) & a marinara dip (gave my friends the ricotta dip). I got the pasta with mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, onions & roasted peppers. It was really good - pasta was a’dente. Our waitress was super lovely and accommodating, and the interior was so pretty. Would recommend.

"Wildfire was amazing! It felt cozy inside, like sitting by a warm fire. The food was delicious and packed with flavor. The service was great too, making sure everything was perfect. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in DC!"

We went there for dinner and everything was great at the restaurant. The service, ambiance, and food were awesome. We ordered several side dishes and all the food items were good. The restaurant is pretty big, so it can accommodate a large number of people, but I highly recommend making reservations. Overall, it is a good place for dining.

We have dined at this restaurant multiple times, and the food has been exceptional on each visit. The chef uses fresh ingredients to bring out the best flavors in every dish, and the drinks pair well with the food. The service is great, and the restaurant has a modern design style achieved by bold dark wood furniture, light fixtures that hang throughout, and green plants in the place. We enjoy all aspects of this restaurant.

My husband and I stopped in for a spotanteous late lunch and we are so glad we did! Service was amazing and the food was delicious! The truffle garlic bread is a must!

We will definitely be returning to North Italia!

Stopped in here on a Saturday evening while waiting for our bowling lanes at Bowlero. The service was wonderful. The food was ok. I had the coconut shrimp and creamed spinach. The spinach wasn’t seasoned at all but the sauce for the shrimp was good. Others in my party had the crab cake sandwich and they raved about how good it was. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was very good.

I enjoy dining at this restaurant. The food is consistently excellent and comforting, and the service is exceptional. The place is spotless and decorated with white walls and wooden furniture, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Their zucca chips are delicious and crunchy, with a hint of saltiness. The crispy calamari is always perfect, and the arugula & avocado salad is healthy and tasty. The roasted salmon is a thumbs up, and I can never get enough of their braised short rib. Even just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
I look forward to returning soon and trying more of their dishes.
2Apr.2024 Beautiful upscale cinema and dining. The theater is small compared to the ones I’m use to going to. The reclining seats were super comfortable and cozy.

Service and customer service was exceptional, polite, and prompt. Arrive 30 minutes before your movie to put your order in and get your popcorn.

Superb experience and our food was pipping hot. The drinks were delicious. Tempura lobster, lavender lemon drop, Strawberry Shortcake Boozy shake, Cinzano Prosecco, and the Movie Candy Cheesecake all were delicious.

Nice Italian spot with a good variety of pizza and pasta. The prices are a bit high but that generally comes with the area. Service was good and everything I tried was done well. Plenty of parking with validations available.

We like to go for weekends to VA. And have a good dinner before we go back home. So we planned to go to "Wildfire" with excellent good reviews. I'm definitely not disappointed. We were very impressed, and with our good server Matthew, marked as our favorite spot. we are going back when we pass again to VA.

Food is great, huge huge fish n chips!!! Perhaps a bit less of the beer batter stuff will make a difference… it’s good, it’s huge!

Service was perfect!!!

I feel bad when restaurants “suggest” high tip as part of the bill… these places should pay good salaries to their employees n not squeeze customers to cover their expenses…

Feel sorry for the people, service was great! Music just a bit too loud but not a problem…

Sure I’ll return…

Ahhh the chicken sandwich (with avocado) was a 10! Kudos 4the chefs!

Excellent Italian food and a vibrant and efficient atmosphere for service. The menu had full details of estimated calorie amounts for each dish - they seemed a lot but it made more sense when the dishes arrived, the portions were hearty indeed.

The sandwich was delicious, especially the bread. Cacio e pepe arancini was also a highlight.

Overall a great experience, I'd be excited to return at some point in the future.

I am here 5 times a month because it is next to my office and whether it is lunch, dinner or HappyHour, always consistent and at the quality expected. I have had the pizzas, most of the sandwiches (the Italian and the chicken parm are my favs), broccolini and the truffle bread, and pastas- all very good. I wish they would circulate their draft beers and also maybe upgrade their Reds, but what they have is definitely good. Highly recommended.

I went to North Italia for dinner and it was an absolutely delightful experience. My server, Randy, was attentive and very knowledgeable. I ordered the truffle garlic bread and the squid ink pasta. I was nearing food coma stage in the best way after these dishes. I will definitely return to North Italia!

Absolutely delicious! Such a wonderful experience too! I had never been here before. Even with a rather large party there was plenty of space between tables and for us to comfortably get up. Everything was ready for us to be seated even before our reservation time!

I personally ordered the prime rib and mushroom caps. The prime rib was super juicy and tender! Definitely worth the price! The mushroom caps were sooo good too. We also had shared some calamari and that was by far the best calamari I've had!

Our waitress was super nice and timely with everything!

I definitely recommend this place! We will definitely be using this spot for some of our "fancier" events! ❤️

The service and the dining area were great. The food was just okay. We had the Calamari, a burger, the scallops appetizer and a loaded potato. In my opinion the calamari was good, I'd eat that again. Sadly, everything else was flavorless. Don't get me wrong, they were not bad, but there was no spice or seasoning that could be found.

It has been a while since we took the office staff here for a late birthday lunch. Prime rib is made every day and is nice. Monday is 1/2 price wine bottles, so it was worth getting a bottle, drinking a glass and taking the rest home. They pack it nicely for you to take. The salads are large, three sizes available. Been going here for years, it just fell out of our office rotation.

This is a decent restaurant located inside the Tysons Corner II mall. We were greeted with a smile and were sat quickly. I haven't frequented a Yard House in a while so I was pleased and surprised to see different items on the menu.

My partner ordered a drink and it took a while to get it. I happened to notice another table, who was sat after us, got apps and drinks before my partner did.

Food was really good. Cheesesteak sub and the seared tuna burger were delicious.

The vibe of the place was pretty good. But the sunlight was streaming thru the windows and right into my eyes. I switched my seat to the other side and I got over it.

Our server, Mckenzie C, was just amazing. Answered all of our questions and really made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant, even though. It was packed. The Ahí Nachos are a thing of magic. Give that chef a Nobel prize. They left me wanting MORE yumm-E! I went with my most favorite thing to order, bacon cheddar cheese burger. I will have to say that this burger has to be one of my favorites. It was cooked to perfection. The cheese truffle fries are a MUST! My wife had the sesame shrimp noodles. According to my lovely spouse, the dish was cooked to her liking and the spicy sauce gave the dish an amazing accent. The ambiance was happy go lucky and everyone seemed to be having a good time. All in all a very enjoyable night. Will definitely come back.

I love yard house. Yes it’s on at home however yard house menu is so infinite. You can literally pick from anything. It does give the vibs of Asian fusion. These wisely wings were amazing I think I’ll order them next time for the whole 10. The pasta was sticky pasta it was kind of dry. If I was in person I would have sent it back. Honestly did not eat it. The wings made it for it.

My family and I, liked it. The food was delicious and well decorated but the portions are unexpectedly too small. My wife and I had to order 3 dishes after starting with two soups and having our two french fries and we were not full yet!
The chicken noodles and tomato bisque soups were tasty. The classic cheeseburger were better than regular burgers. The chicken bowl was beautiful and delicious; a good combination of juicy grilled chicken and veggies. The whiskey burger's taste was much better than other whiskey burgers that I had before. The chicken and avocado sandwich was delicious. The fries with the burgers came in a small metal basket which looked cute! and they were well-seasoned. And Dom, our server was very polite and helpful. We'll definitely go back there again but not when we are very hungry. It will be very costly. 😀

Very upbeat atmosphere and a hip looking place. The bar is pretty large and they have plenty of draft beer. The bartender, Monie was amazing and super attentive. She has a great knowledge when it comes to drinks and what you might like. The best. Food was very fast and on time and made very tasty. Enjoy.
I came here to watch Creed 3. Excellent movie theatre. Very clean seats were comfortable. I love how the theatre isn’t over-packed and crowded with chairs, that’s a great thing. The drinks and food were good. My order got messed up, but they fixed it right away. The sports bar as you walk in is pretty cool, and the lounge area is also a great spot to hang out and relax. Overall I would say give this spot a try. I’d definitely go back again and watch a movie.
