    Always take my kiddo here for date night. Its expensive, but the food is good, the in theater dining experience is so easy. I never feel rushed if we cut it a little close. They had a live saxiphone performer there whcih was fantastic! He was so good! They just do a really nice job. I was also nervous about ordering the sushi but our server (who was great, totally hustling, very attentive, made my son feel important) told me it was really good so I did and he was right.

    We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation time and for the Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet and the buffet was already out. They had taken it all away except from the desserts. The service was horrible. The manager tried to make it better but everything was declining without attention. We felt abandoned at the corner. It was one of the most stressful and horrible Mother’s Day experience. We will never return!

    Do not, I repeat, do not eat here when they offer any type of brunch buffet!! We went for Mother’s Day brunch and it was disgusting. Not one thing was good. Plus the buffet was outside and all the food was cold! The service was nonexistent. I have not eaten the regular food they offer on the menu besides the buffet but if buffet was any indication of the food they were serving - AVOID!!

    Hello! We came for the Mother’s Day brunch special and at first glance, it was very inviting and top notch! However, the weather was very windy that morning (Mother Nature’s fault) and we were the only ones seated outside during our time there (even though we asked to sit inside). They were very kind and got us a working outdoor heater though so that helped. The service was very slow and sort of confusing. (We felt a little forgotten outside but we made the best of it) Although it was buffet style, we had to wait to get our drink tickets for Mimosa’s and if we wanted a refill on food, we had to wait for another plate to be brought (or reuse our plate but that did not seem sanitary). I have to say, the food was delicious! Everything tasted amazing, unfortunately, due to the wind, our food was basically cold the whole time. Overall, due to a mix of uncontrolled events and certain service quality, it just felt like the event was overpriced when leaving. We may come back just to give it another shot though.

    Specifically the Mother's Day brunch: not enough seating or staff. The outdoor seating was a bad idea with the wind and cold. Servers seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. Forgetting things like drinks and other stuff. Not enough options in the buffet, especially for kids, which you have to have on Mother's Day. Value was incredibly overpriced for what they delivered.

    The service was ridiculously slow. The chicken tenders and french fries were absolutely cold. My flat bread was pretty good, but a little cold. My husbands fish was lukewarm. I would have sent back some of the food, but since it took so long to order and get our food, we didin't bother.

    The food was not good. We ordered the king oyster mushroom risotto. What came out was 3 small slices of portobello mushroom, deep fried like chicken fingers on a bed of what looked like white rice…. We were given a choice of desserts but my husband was charged for his choice (???). The menu choice was chocolate bombé cake which I ordered. It was not good. The starters: I had duck confit green salad (good!), my husband ordered the soup (not so good and his portion was small). Although there were only 8 couples, the kitchen really struggled to get the food out…the waitress kept apologizing. Over $200 for this subpar meal.

    The Lot was a little more than I expected for a small venue attached to a movie theater. I went out to take my mother for a quick, light meal and we found ourselves staying for almost an hour, not because the service was slow, because it wasn’t but because the service, ambiance, and food ( even lattes) were fantastic. It’s not a place you feel overwhelmed with choices, but just enough of a diverse menu to suit whatever your in the mood for. I have high praise for this little” Lot “! How convenient. Our waitress was amazing, our time spent there was so pleasant.. very impressed. May I add, I never , ever liked Caesar Salad and this version was OUTSTANDING!!

    It was my first time a The Lot and was glad they were serving a Three-course Thanksgiving dinner. It would’ve been nice if they serve some cranberry sauce and stuffing to make that Thanksgiving dinner complete. We made it an event and saw a screening of the New Ghostbusters film at The Lot Theater and loved the whole experience from dining to viewing a highly anticipated film. I’ll have to visit the other The Lot locations. Thanks, PKG 😎

    Just had my birthday party with 7 guests there last weekend. It was wonderful! Staff was accommodating and friendly, food and drinks were delicious and our friends that had never been there before had an absolute blast. We had drinks and appetizers at a great table outside before the movie and then we enjoyed dinner at our seats once we were in the movie theatre. Great night from start to finish!

    We love the theater and greatly enjoyed it when it was in full swing. With the limited staff, service has suffered greatly. We have been to the movies three times and all three times, they have screwed up our dinner order (or failed to deliver it entirely). On our last visit, dinner was rushed (because they had some sort of party going on). this was okay as we understand the limits they are operating under, so we ordered drinks and desert in the theater. Drinkers never arrived and the ice cream desert arrived 75 minutes into the 90 minute movie. And only after I had asked two different servers and had to leave my seat (twice more), ultimately getting a manager involved. Needless to say, we won't be doing that again. Overall, we still like the place and we have been enjoying the outdoor moving (Caddyshack, last weekend) they have been showing. I (we) are also very hopeful they get the service thing figured out AND we hoe that our BS closures (thanks Gavin) doesn't end up killing them entirely.

    My husband and I came here for our 5th wedding anniversary. They sat us near an alleyway outside, practically in an area that wasn’t even nice and very far away from everyone else. It took a long time for the server to come take our order. By the time she came, we decided not to order food because everything was taking too long. We ordered two rieslings and that was $30 for both of them. When the drinks finally came 20 minutes later, they tasted horrible...nothing like a Riesling but rather a bitter watered down version of a Chardonnay. I don’t get why this place had great reviews! When I booked the reservation I specifically said to note it was the actual date of our anniversary. The girl who booked it over the phone said she wrote that down, yet no one said anything or acknowledged it. It was such a horrible non-romantic date night for our anniversary. We could have gone to Olive Garden and had a much better time than here. I’m truly disappointed.
