There was no mess whatsoever and my burger was really, really good. My burger arrived about 20 minutes after the starter (in between, I received another drink and had my plates cleared away instantly as well.) It's pretty dark in the theater but the kitchen wisely cuts their burgers in half, making them extra-easy to handle.

Goodness, I don't get that kind of service at most restaurants yet alone a movie theater. Whatever you want." He then proceeded to warn me that the fries also came with a dusting of cheese, and would I like to omit it as well. When I asked for an Angus Burger (applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar, tomato, curly leaf lettuce and truffle French fries) without cheese, Juan responded, "Of course. My guy Juan was incredibly polite and knew EVERYTHING on the drink and food menus, backwards and forwards. "Ninjas" dart in and out with impossible stealth and professionalism. That's not by accident either: All the food is presented in such a way, as to avoid unnecessary mess and noise.Īs for service, prepare to be blown away. The meat literally falls off the bone, a la an order of tender ribs. They're absolutely delicious, and unlike other wings. I went with Pork "Wings" - braised Kurobuta pork wings with chili sauce. and they're terrific!) during the film so I wasn't able to take photos (except for the popcorn, which was darn good.) Starters are presented first, about 20 minutes into the movie. Said food was served by ninjas (seriously, that's what they're called. Our media night was especially deluxe, as we were treated to the aforementioned three-course meal and unlimited drinks. Even better, members (even at the PURPLE level, which is free) pay less.

They also give you a FREE small popcorn with each Premium Plus ticket. Ticket prices are a shade higher than other theaters ($13 and $22 respectively for Premium and Premium Plus) but keep in mind, iPic doesn't charge extra for 3D films, prime time showings, etc. It also means assigned seats, which you can arrange online or on-site, at guest services.
That means less people in each theater, and less distractions, etc. In addition to a full-service bar and a top-flight restaurant ( City Perch opens November 17th) iPic sports eight separate auditoriums with a total capacity of 782 seats. Pike & Rose marks iPic's 11th nationwide location, with another dozen in the immediate pipeline.

Lest you assume I'm making too much of a good thing, consider this. How was it? More than 12 hours later, and I'm still gushing. The folks at iPic hosted a media night last night, showcasing just some of the many amenities available to John Q. Quite simply, this is the fanciest, most lavish movie house I've ever been in. Why so scared? Hint, hint: It has nothing to do with Halloween, save for the fact that October 31st marks the official opening of iPic Theaters at Pike & Rose. Did you hear that? It's the sound of AMC Theatres & Regal Cinemas shaking in their boots.
