I went here in the past for multiple regular movies. Today, I decided to try their VIP movie ticket. This review is mostly centered on the VIP side of things.
The VIP lounge is essentially a miniature sports bar. It opened on Tuesday around 5:45pm, which was 30 minutes before the first showtime that evening.
The VIP lounge is advertised as a place everyone can go to eat, relax and get a drink. You don't even need a ticket to get in!
I estimate the lounge can sit around 40 people. The sports bar analogy is in full effect with multiple TV monitors, a billiards table, and the culinary offerings.
At the lounge, I ordered the fish tacos (picture attached), which were 3 for 15 dollars (with tax) as part of the Taco Tuesday special. I genuinely thought it was restaurant-quality. The sauce was really good and it wasn't too fishy.
The environment was clean and beautiful. The lounge staff seemed a bit low (one waitress, and two bartenders). Most of the staff are assigned to delivering the food to the theatres rather than working with the customers in the lounge. The worker disparity did not affect anything; I still got my order at my table within 5 minutes. The waitress who took my order was an absolute gem of a person who helped me choose an item and he engaged in some light conversation. I just wanted to note down the worker disparity for customers that may come on busier days.
I have attached their food menu because the Cineplex app does an injustice to the amount of items on offer.
I definitely can see the appeal of coming to the VIP Lounge without a movie ticket. I personally would recommend coming for a Tuesday (15 dollar for 3 Taco Tuesday special, cheaper movie tickets) or Wednesday
(45 dollar Date night special, see attached menu).
Now I will transition to talking about the rest of the "VIP" experience.
-The theatre chairs are similar to Landmark Cinemas (couch chairs with leg space)
-No children!
-Overpriced (but GOOD) popcorn: large butter layered popcorn with water costed as much the tacos
-Anything you order is delivered to your seat up to 10 minutes into the movie
-Nothing special about the movie's quality itself (VIP can't be combined with DBOX, 3D etc)
Overall I would rate the whole experience a 4/5. The bar and the lounge was really good! Great customer service, great food, and great amenities in such a small place. The rest of the VIP experience falls short especially compared to the competition, Landmark Cinemas. What Cineplex considers a VIP treatment, Landmark considers a necessity. Landmark has cheaper tickets with better seats.
