Place seems to be understaffed - I don't o...

We went last night. The condition of cinema is atrocious. Seats were filthy. Arm rest were missing. Seat comfort was poor. Won’t be going again. Can’t rate zero.

Love seeing movies here, makes it feel like an event. Just attended the special screening, in French, of The Count of Monte Cristo. Fantastic atmosphere complete with a serving of 3 French treats & a glass of wine. Great staff too even when they are overrun with patrons!
