Okay. It's got three levels of seating, each with a table placed the long way. Um. Like, there are rectangular tables, which seat about eight people, and the short end of the rectangle faces the screen. Each seat is a car bucket seat which can spin, so you can face the chair towards the screen or the table, to eat or watch or both.
Each level of seating has two rows of four tables each, staggered, so that there isn't a table right in front of you. And each level is higher enough from the level in front of you that you see right over people's heads, and, in fact, the waitstaff walking around doesn't block your view unless they're on your level.
Picture and sound quality isn't the best I've ever seen, but is perfectly acceptible.
Waitstaff comes around before the movie to take your order, and I think that if everything works correctly, everyone is served before the movie even starts. Of course, it doesn't work out that well in practice . . .
The food is good, if somewhat expensive. I mean, we're talking an eight or nine dollar burger, and a six to eight dollar glass of beer. But it's a good burger, and a good glass of beer. I had a "Fantastic Four" sandwich (all the dishes have movie-title names) which was bacon, turkey, cheese, and, um, a fourth thing -- I think the fourth was the dressing they had -- on a fresh-baked roll, and it was good. I'd normally expect to pay six or seven dollars for a sandwich like that; I paid nine. Which is far, far less than the usual movie-theater markup for food, come to think of it. . .
