βLovely little place. Visiting from out of town with my two granddaughters, naturally they were wanting to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. They got dressed up and felt it was only right for me to do the same. They were so happy to style me. Walking into the movies I thought the girls looked amazing however did feel a bit silly wearing a skirt that felt inappropriate for someone my age. As I walk into the cinema a young worker whose name I believe is Neve immediately compliments my skirt. That instantly lifted my spirits, I no longer felt awkward or out of place. Such a lovely environmentπ₯°π₯°β

βStaff are friendly, and the place actually cares about the environment - reusable popcorn bowls and recyclable glass and cans, so you can snack guilt-free while pretending youβre saving the planet one choc-top at a time. The cinemas arenβt huge, but honestly, youβre there to watch the movie, not do laps. The outdoor waiting area is mint, with a mean view toward the ocean while you wait and wonder why you didnβt buy the large popcorn.β

βCool little theatre, with lovely space and staff. Theatre spaces are small and quaint, ours was about 9 rows, lots of room for a mid afternoon showing. Comfy seats that had an old fashioned appeal. Great space to wait out a rainy day and enjoy a show!β
