We paid for the "Show Room" seating which is in the front, as opposed to what they called general seating which was first come first serve, in the back. The premium didn't see to be worth it, as the back was totally roped off and they were sitting everyone in the front anyway. The also seem a little too desperate to fit as many tables as possible in there. Ours was touching the stage to the far left. it was a very awkward viewing angle.

I wish we were allowed to pick our table when purchasing the tickets, instead the system seemingly picked our table for us and imprinted it on the ticket stub. That alone would had made this a much more positive experience.

The 10 dollar electronic delivery fee for buying online is mildly insulting.. When movie theaters use to tack on a couple of bucks it was confusing being if anything you were savings them labor hours at the ticket booth, but 10 dollars is ridiculous, especially when buying 65 dollars worth of tickets.

The food wasn't bad, but not really good either. Kind of reminded me of Chilies on a bad day.Lots of fried stuff, and hamburgers. I'd say it compared to Movie Studio Grill in that respect.They had a lot of cocktails, but mostly chick drinks. It's not the type of place you would want to order an Old Fashioned and expect it to be made properly. They had a decent selection of beer though, including several from local breweries like Karbach, 8th Wonder, and Saint Arnold...which was a huge plus.

We saw Pablo Francisco. Surprisingly his openers ended up being much funnier than he was, and we really enjoyed them. Pablo mostly just made humping gestures while using the Allstate, or movie trailer voice over guy voice. When he did try to tell an actual joke he often started laughing at the punchline, before delivering it, and then abandoning the attempt all together. Amusing for a few minutes, but got tiring fast.His openers made up for it though.
