CMX CinéBistro Halcyon

TERRIBLE! No encuentro otra palabra para describirlo. Vine a la función de las 10:00 pm, la sala estaba sucia. Los asientos no son completamente reclinables , no estaban incómodos pero pudo haber sido mejor. No hay meseros en la sala, mi novio fue 2 veces para poder ordenar y le decían “si ya te van a atender” y nunca nos atendieron tuvo que comprar la comida en el front desk. Los popcorn estaban con demasiada mantequilla (incomibles), la comida súper costosa y mala, pedí chicken waffle el pollo estaba muy muy grasoso (sentias el aceite cuando mordías), el waffle tenía pedazos de azúcar además de estar muy dulce la mezcla, el bacon estaba extremadamente salado y los tickets? Costos para el servicio que ofrecen!! Que lamentable, pensé que podían ser mejor. Me salí a la mitad de la película, muy mala experiencia.

Excelente sonido. Asientos muy cómodos. Atención de primera.

Espectacular, totalmente cómodo,

México

Excelente sonido y atención

The theatre is well-maintained and clean, offering a pleasant and comfortable movie-watching experience. The seating is cozy, and both the sound and screen quality are impressive, making the films more enjoyable. The overall ambiance is welcoming, adding to the positive vibe of the place. However, the food counter service could be faster, as the response time while ordering snacks was slower than expected. Despite this minor drawback, the theatre remains organized and easy to navigate. It’s a good spot for watching the latest movies in a clean and enjoyable setting, and with quicker service at the food counter, it could be even better.🎥🍿🎬🎞️

I went to the movies yesterday. Although the staff were prompt and courteous, the experience was wasn’t that great. First off The food prices are outrageous, way over priced. I ordered the BBQ shrimp which was $12.99. Well, it was the portion for that of a child. I got 6 measly pieces of shrimp and a piece of briquette which the shrimp, was way over salted, I could barely eat it. Meanwhile, there was a fly of some sort constantly flying around me. They really need to up their game for what’s supposed to be a “luxurious movie theater”

Oh, where do I begin... Years ago, I had the pleasure of attending a CMX CineBistro opening at Peachtree Corners, and it was a spectacular event. We were even given a behind-the-scenes tour of the kitchen, and from start to finish, the experience was top-tier. Naturally, I had high hopes when I decided to visit the CineBistro at Halcyon, but my day there turned out to be a lackluster experience at best. I visited during the daytime, specifically because I thought it would be less crowded—and it was. The front desk staff greeted me with a cheerful attitude, which was a nice start. I had purchased tickets to see two movies: a nostalgic favorite, Hocus Pocus, and a new film about the backstory of Saturday Night Live. However, I was informed that if I wanted food, I’d have to place my order at the bar. Being that it was noon, I understood the likelihood that servers wouldn’t arrive until later in the day. No big deal. But once I entered the first theater, things took a turn. At first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me—was that lint or something floating in front of me? No, it was a fly. Wait, actually, it was moths. Several moths were flying around the seat I had chosen. I brushed them away, thinking it was a minor issue, but they didn't seem to mind my attempts to shoo them off. I moved seats, but no matter where I went in the theater, the moths followed, or perhaps they were multiplying. Either way, they made it impossible to fully enjoy watching this beloved cult classic. By the time the first film ended, I had a bit of a break before the next showing. I figured it would be a good time to grab some food. Looking back, I wish I hadn’t. Still, I waited for someone to assist me at the bar—and waited. For 15 minutes, there was no one at the front desk or behind the bar. I was told they weren’t making milkshakes at the time, which was already disappointing, and nothing else on the menu seemed particularly appetizing. When I finally managed to place my order, I went with a chocolate Turtle Mason jar dessert, fries, and a bottled water. Imagine my shock when the total came to $30—gratuity included. I get it, businesses need to turn a profit, but really? $30 for a small snack? Unfortunately, the moth situation wasn't limited to the first theater. The second one had its share of unwanted winged guests as well. This time, they were even more visible under the theater lights before the movie began. I managed to catch one on video, clearly attracted to the area where I was seated. Although there were fewer in this theater, the presence of moths was just as unsettling. Then the food arrived. The fries were decent—nothing spectacular, but at least they weren’t messed up. That’s a small comfort considering it’s hard to ruin fries. However, the dessert was a different story. While the whipped cream and candied pecans were nice, the “cake” described on the menu turned out to be a bland brownie. And at the bottom of the Mason jar? A weird, tasteless syrup-like substance that completely ruined the entire dessert. I couldn’t believe I paid $8 for that disappointment. In the end, my visit to CineBistro Halcyon was overwhelmingly disappointing. Between the moths constantly interrupting both movies and the subpar food, it’s safe to say I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. If you don’t mind sharing your movie with flying bugs, this could be your spot, but I strongly suggest eating beforehand or visiting one of the many nearby restaurants—Eclipse di Luna, just across the way, comes to mind. CineBistro Halcyon, please do better! I expected more from what’s supposed to be an elevated movie experience. #ashsaidit
