    I love this small theater! Its a perfect size not so crowded unless big showing. Bathrooms are super clean and everything is well taken care of. A huge variety on the menu from burgers to pizzas. Love that you can just walk in and order some food to go. No need of movie ticket to buy popcorn or anything!

    It's always nice to be back to this small theater in downtown sunnyvale. The bathrooms are always very clean and I love their discounted goodie bags. I was able to grab a Minecraft goodie bag for my son for $10! It had a blanket with its pillow, hat and keychains. I love coming here after work for their Tuesday and Wednesday deals!

    October Asian Pacific Film Festival 2025!

    I was honestly shocked to find out that Sunnyvale was hosting this Asian Pacific Islander film festival!! I've been to another film festival before, and it was always at a smaller location! I'm very impressed with AMC and them hosting this amazing event for the community!! My family and I arrived early so we could meet with some of the local stars in the movie and got some great pictures of the artist as well as the producers!! They had a great Q&A session after our morning session of films were shown! The audio sounded great, and I loved the casualness of all the questions as well as how each artist was able to answer. The question asked by the moderator. I wish I bought tickets for Friday as well as Sunday's events because I would love to see all of the movies!! I definitely know I will be coming back here again next year if they're sponsoring again! I will also say the theater was incredibly comfortable within the seats, as well as easy to maneuver and walk by somebody without bumping into them. I loved the La-Z-Boy chairs and how you could tilt them back and hold a larger size drink without spilling it! Hee The concession stand had a lot of different hot foods you could get, but we were going to go out for lunch afterwards, so we just had drinks. I also liked their open bar area and everything was incredibly clean!! Beautiful new theater that I can't wait to see other movies in!!

    We enjoyed coming to this theater, great space, decent customer service. My complaint, the popcorn was nasty and stale. After a few bites, I knew it wasn't fresh and I got a replacement snack, some nachos. There's nothing worse, than watching a movie, and having stale ass popcorn as your snack. I'll come back to watch a movie here, hopefully the popcorn is fresh next time around.

    Went to watch F1: The Movie in an IMAX theater. I find this location newer and cleaner than other AMCs in the area. The seats in auditorium 1 are leather reclining seats without heating function, very comfortable and spacious. You can raise the middle armrest to make it into a loveseat. You can order food from the app and get it delivered to the seats with a delivery fee. The wait time for the food is relatively long. And I find it very hard to eat in the dark. The audio effects make the experience very immersive. Feels like you're part of the movie.

    This was our first time watching a movie at this theater. It has to be one of the nicest theaters I've ever been to. It's beautiful inside and very spacious. The seats were extremely comfortable and adjustable. There are even controls to heat your seat if you want. The sound in the theater was excellent and the temperature was just right inside. The theater was immaculate. It was clean inside the theater and the bathrooms. We didn't order food to be delivered to our seats but we did get popcorn at the concession stand. The popcorn was actually better than Cinemark, which is where we usually see movies. The staff were also friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back here for our next movie.

    This theater is so cute! It's located at the prime location next to WholeFoods and Target and in adjacent to Downtown Sunnyvale and Tipsy Putt! Literally you can do everything here before or after the movies! Parkings were easy! You can either park in the WholeFoods or Target parking lot and it's a short walk to the theater. This theater is located on the second floor. If you take the escalator up, you'll see your view opened up to cute chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows that give you ample lighting and nice view of the surround area. I love how spacious the reception area is and that it has a bar and food court area just right there for your snack and drink needs. Everywhere I went looked clean and tidy, even the restrooms. The theater itself has leather reclining seats which provide the most comfortable movie watching experience :)

    This was my first visit to this AMC. I believe I'd been here when it was a Showplace Icon. They definitely did a full remodel. The entire theater was gorgeous and well kept. I can tell that it's well staffed just upon entry. The theater I had was intimate but the screen was huge and the seats were very comfortable and clean. Definitely worth the drive for me being closer to other AMC locations. Honestly I wish they were all as updated as this one is!

    Love coming to this AMC it's nice and clean. The bartenders are nice and make good drinks. The food here is actually really good however I feel that the portion size of food got smaller in comparison to when they first opened. But regardless I love coming here and will be here again.

    I saw the Mortal kombat 2 movie poster on my way out!

    I came here with a friend to watch the new movie the Undertone! Unfortunately the theater was extremely dirty and there was so much garbage underneath the seats. I was extremely disappointed with how much trash there was and I saw it in the isle when I went up there and it seemed like the gentleman who was cleaning just kicked it underneath. Aside from that the theater has a nice modern and updated feel to it! If they cleaned up the rooms better I would highly suggest coming to this location!

    Big screens, comfortable seating and clean theaters.

    It's a nice, clean theater. It does not have its own dedicated parking lot, so it can be hard to find close parking. This theater you can pay online or at an in person kiosk. They offer reclining seats, order refreshments to seat. A lot of extras. I like it here, the parking is the biggest downside.

    AMC theatre's.

    Employees were very knowledgeable and professional. Place was clean Box office Opens at 12:45pm. There are NO ticket kiosks outside. Only way to buy tix is inside when they open.

    Theatres are clean and comfortable with reclining seats. Expanded food options are a nice feature. Nearly 30 minutes of commercials and previews is annoying though.

    Do all of their auditoriums have heated seats?

    Auditoriums Three through Twelve have Heated Seats. Auditoriums One and Two (IMAX and Dolby) have reclining seats but, they are not heated.

    Does the theater share the parking garage with Whole Foods? If yes what level of the garage has access to the theater?

    As far as I'm aware, none of the garages have direct access to the theater. You can park in the garage, ut have to walk the corner of while foods to get to the main entrance of AMC the take the escalator up

They now have a little updated arcade area and a bar as well as a great little lounge area. They still have the two sides of the concession stands and a cute ice cream parlor entry in the front. I love how comfortable the lounge looks it actually looks like something you'd see in a restaurant or an actual bar! There's also a little party room, which looks great for kids or any person doing a birthday event so I guess I'll have to inquire and see what event parties they have our offer. Once we got into the theater, the seats were huge. They were quite literally big enough for an adult and my purse with jacket on my side and I still had a room to put my popcorn on the side. Lol they give you two coasters on either side and the little controllers to make your chair live all the way back! Audio and visual was great even though I was sitting in a corner spot I could hear everything and it wasn't too loud since I was in letter D row. The only thing I would say that was a withdrawal was since I went with my summer camp to this theater we were standing outside as the campers, boys and girls went inside to wash their hands. I never got the chance to go to the bathroom until after they went out and my co-teacher could watch the children. Upon doing so as I went into the bathroom, I noticed all the soap dispensers are up against the mirror side and too far away for my shorter children to get soap. Which really grosses me out and that means none of the children actually washed their hands!! Most theater bathrooms have a little flip down stepstool that allows shorter children or even people to step onto the ledge so they can reach the soap dispenser. At least I made all the children use sanitizer after they washed with water. Hee Everything else went great with this movie theater and I hope something gets done with the rest of the business center that used to be in the back there used to be a billiards years ago! But there's nothing really over here besides Shoreline amphitheater and this movie theater.

You can purchase tickets in front or through the kiosk they have. Just walk in and they scan your ticket. It was like 1 line and 1 person scanning, but I'm sure they amp this up on other more busier nights. I do love the open outdoor ceiling with the circular area with some small trees and greenery. It's nice. Concession is sort of self serve I think? I got a large popcorn hot off the press and walked over to pay for it, but I wonder if it gets too busy that some people just grab things and walk through. They do have a Coca Cola Freestyle machine that does limited movie themed drinks which is nice. Seats are the newer reclining ones and screen is resolution is crisp, sound is good with no contamination from other theater rooms. Bathrooms are a bit aged and back rooms looking (lol), but no issue. But I did see when I tossed trash away into the trash pit, there were clean paper towels stored next to it. Overall a decent AMC.

Parking is easy due to the neighboring parking structure. Do keep in mind that parking is validated for a few hours- just make sure you make your way to the information desk to input your license plate info. Seating is comfortable- allowing patrons to recline and heat up your chairs. Best of all, each seat has its own table- great for kids and for huge snackers! CineArts is well kept and always clean during my visits. The concession stand offers alcoholic drinks, hot foods, popcorn, candies, and sugary beverages. Hot dogs, popcorn, and the pizzas are great- chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks are trash. Don't bother getting the tenders or mozz sticks unless you like it dry and hard. 5/5 stars overall.

The chairs did not recline all the way (I'd just been to AMC MERCADO and was pleased at the upgrades in this theater). We ordered popcorn and drinks. Only one drink was delivered, and it took a long time for the popcorn to show up. We ordered another drink, hoping to get it delivered. Another 35 minutes go by. My partner tries to track down a server to ask about the forgotten drink: it's delivered while he's still gone. Then, at the near end of the movie the second drink order arrives. Overall, it was a frustrating experience. This used to be my favorite spot to catch a movie, now I'd only suggest coming for the Tuesday specials, and avoiding concessions all together. You also must go to the counter to validate parking. Under the old movie theater, it was conveniently located on the wall as you exited the theater. And the woman's bathroom was flooded and had half the stalls out of order when I tried to use the restroom. The mucky water in the restroom was less than desirable. I probably should have used the gender inclusive restroom. I chose the Santana Row theater or the AMC Mercado before heading to this hectic location.

    ARE WE IN SILICON VALLEY? 4.5…read more One might never know this restaurant exists, tucked away near a Google business park just off Highway 101. You could stumble upon it through Yelp (as we did), discover it while staying at the adjacent Treehouse Hotel, or simply hear about it through word of mouth. The parking situation is an interesting one. After turning into the driveway from Mathilda Avenue, you have two options: turn right for valet parking or left into the Google parking lot. There are plenty of spaces available, though parking there is technically at your own risk. The restaurant told us they had not heard of anyone being ticketed or towed. We first dined here shortly after it opened in 2025 and were immediately impressed by the beautiful grounds. The hotel's eco-conscious gift shop, housed in a glass greenhouse and featuring a colorful vintage VW Bug, is a charming touch. The short walk to the restaurant feels especially relaxing on a warm, sunny day. This has become one of our favorite places to bring friends or host girls' lunches. With three distinct seating options: the dining room, bar, and patio, there's an atmosphere to suit just about any occasion, whether you're dining as a couple or gathering with a larger group. I would recommend visiting during lunch or dinner service and skipping the in-between hours. During that time, only the bar area is open and the menu is more limited. To fully experience what Valley Goat has to offer, lunch or dinner is the way to go. Despite the name, the only goat dish on the menu at the time of this review is the Goat Empanadas. My friend was initially hesitant to order them, but David, our wonderful server, and I encouraged her to give them a try. She was glad she did. There was no gamey flavor whatsoever; the meat tasted more like beef, and the accompanying sauce was excellent. Over several visits, we've enjoyed everything we've ordered and are delighted to have a restaurant of this caliber in our Bay Area backyard. Chef and co-owner Stephanie Izard, winner of Season 4 of Top Chef and an Iron Chef title, owns a total of nine restaurants, primarily in the Chicago area, along with locations in Los Angeles and one at Orlando International Airport. Since we enjoy traveling for great food, we'll definitely be adding some of her other restaurants to our list.

The service was quite slow throughout the evening. We ordered the goat empanadas, wood-fired Mary's chicken, sprouted cauliflower, eggplant, and sticky pork shank. What surprised me most was how similar everything tasted. From the appetizers to the main dishes, the flavors seemed repetitive and lacked distinction. Each dish looked appealing, but none really stood out. Overall, the food felt uninspired, and I didn't get the sense that much care had gone into developing unique flavors for the menu. Given the many 5-star reviews, I was expecting much more and left feeling disappointed. The ambiance is lovely, but I would not return for the food. Don't be misled by the photos, they were far more impressive than the actual dining experience.
