Good food, the CineClub membership is well worth for 20% off food and free tickets. The Outtakes menu has allergens listed and most vegetarian options are vegan due to shared fryer baskets. Poutine is good. Popcorn is better than landmark. I don’t recommend ordering popcorn for pickup as it can be cold. Nice recliner seats and downstairs bathroom is much cleaner than upstairs. Staff is really n...

We overall enjoyed the experience of watching a movie at this theatre! However, the recliners are getting worn out and don’t recline completely any more! I hope that Cineplex is going to be able to do something about this in order to enable people to have a completely enjoyable and satisfactory movie experience.

Good movie, however the $100+ price tag for a family of 4 is too much, and two of our seats were broken. G1, G4, and even G5, the next seat over, was broken. Nobody at customer service to speak to about it. Not a great experience!

Didn't enjoy the popcorn though, it was too salty a...

Lots of food and snack spots if you want to go before the movie and grab those. The arcade is always fun for the kids, and the place is always neat and tidy. Had the saltiest bag of popcorn over the wee...
