My cousin and I arrived about 10-15 minutes before our movie started, which was good because once the previews start, you couldn't order any food or drinks . If you want to order anything else, you must leave the movie theater and go to the bar to order. I understand they don't want to walk in front of/interrupt moviegoers, but isn't that kind of expected at a combination restaurant/movie theater?? Anyway, I ordered the loaded BBQ fries as my meal. They were delicious and the portions were really large. However, the tables were really small and you had to split them between two people. We couldn't fit all of the food we got on one table. Fortunately, there was no one using the other table next to us. Also, the tables were a bit far away from my seat, so I had to sit on the edge of my seat to eat my meal. I'm not opposed to going back, but it isn't my first choice for a dine-in movie theater.

This is by far the best Cinema Cafe location I've been to in Hampton Roads…read more The theaters are clean, the service is quick, and they consistently have a great selection of new movies playing. My husband and I love a dinner-and-a-movie date night, so having everything in one place is perfect for us. The reclining chairs are super comfortable, especially once you've eaten and can just settle back and relax during the movie. The menu is pretty basic, but that's expected for a movie theater, and it still has some solid options. Some of my favorites are the coconut shrimp and the hot honey pizza. Overall, this is my go-to spot for seeing a movie. Always an easy, enjoyable experience, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

The seats and theaters are clean, everything felt very new. Our waiter (I believe his name is Evan) was so nice, quick, and helpful! We were in row 3, which was a little bit too close to the screen for our taste, however the seats recline so your view is not obstructed. We didn't mind row 3, but next time we will go further back. The food and tickets were decently priced, we were very happy with that. The food quality was a little bit better than regular concession food. Our food was lukewarm, but very large portions. They have all the condiments and utensils right there for you! Very nice place, we will be back!

Plush seating, actual tables, and servers bringing food while explosions happen on screen makes you feel like royalty who also enjoys popcorn and bad decisions at the concession stand. The theater itself looks like old-school Hollywood decided to move to Portsmouth and never left. The sound is incredible, the screen is huge, and somehow even the fries feel like they deserve an award nomination. Honestly ruined regular movie theaters for me. Now when I go anywhere else, I'm confused why no one is bringing me dinner while I emotionally recover from plot twists. Five stars. Come hungry, leave happy, and prepare to become dramatically judgmental about every other theater afterward.

We normally order tickets online so when we get there, we can just scan the barcode or enter the confirmation number and grab them. The process is always very quick and easy. We've claimed the last row as "our seats" since we enjoy sitting in the back, and thankfully, the views of the movie are still great. As we looked over the menu waiting for the movie to start, we decided on the Mission Impossible Deluxe Nachos and The Fifth Element Supreme Pizza. Our food was served fairly quickly but unfortunately, the nachos lacked cheese and they only added a few, small dollops of chili. The pizza was pretty good though. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our movie night at Cinema Cafe. As many times as we go, we're probably going to try everything on the menu lol! We'll definitely be back.

This last visit changed my mind a little. The volume of the movie was down to low, and when asked to turn it up because we could hear the movie playing next door over our movie, we were told it was preset unfortunately. My friend and I decided to try something new off the menu. She got the supreme pizza which tasted like chef boyardon't, chef boyardee would have been better than this pizza. The crust was hard with a low quality taste. I got the deluxe nachos, which there was nothing deluxe about. The chips were stale, it was supposed to have chili which I saw like 4 beans and really couldn't find the meat. There was a bunch of lettuce and onions, and a splash of cheese. The chip to cheese ratio was off!! The waiter did give me an extra tiny cup of cheese, which didn't help much. But at least he tried. I'll stick to my usual cheeseburger in the future. That's normally good. The food was a flop this time!! They left the lights on during the whole movie which made it weird. The usually turn the lights off. Not to mention Scary Movie 6 sucks. That's not their fault, I'm just warning you, it's not worth your time!! They did play good music in the lobby and the theater was clean. Picking up our tickets we ordered online was easy, and I like that you can reserve seats of your choice ahead of time. I hope next time the experience is better.

I'm from Los Angeles where art house films can be seen at art house theaters or established theaters like AMC or Regal. Naro is THE place I can count on to play awards campaign films, but they'll also have an incredible showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show :) The staff is super friendly and you can tell they love to be there - they're my kind of people who love film. Ticket prices are cheap (I usually buy them online) and food prices are reasonable. I love coming here because theaters are dying and places like this need to continue living! So please, support cinema art and watch movies at the Naro.

Our movie started at 3:30pm and since I bought tix online, we were able to walk right in and have our tix scanned. The concession line was ridiculously long so we decided to return a little later, hoping it would die down a bit. After about an hour, my daughter went out to grab popcorn and drinks and she mentioned that the lines were much less crowded. The popcorn was very fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankfully, the seats were comfortable because the movie was over 3 hours long; the sound and movie quality in the theater was great as well. I don't frequent this location often but you can never go wrong seeing a movie here. I highly recommend ordering concessions in advance to avoid the long lines. I also love that this location has restaurants right outside of the theater as well. I'll definitely be back.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I feel obligated to warn…read moreothers. Upon arrival, the employee at the ticket counter was sitting on his phone. Rather than assisting us, he simply pointed a finger toward concessions and directed us there to redeem our movie passes. The concessions area was not much better. The first thing you notice is the overwhelming smell of burnt popcorn, and the counters were covered in liquid from spilled or splashed drinks. The only bright spot of the entire experience was the young lady working behind the concession counter, who was polite and kind. We ordered two large drinks and a large popcorn, only to be told they couldn't sell large drinks because they had no lids. Instead, we were offered (and charged for) large ICEE cups. When it came time to pay and redeem our movie ticket vouchers, the employee repeatedly tried to process them without success before finally calling a manager. The manager slowly walked over, then slowly walked back to the ticket counter to retrieve replacement tickets. She eventually returned while we continued waiting, now approximately eight minutes late for our movie. We then had to wait even longer for the employee to finish washing her hands before she could scan the tickets. Once we finally made it to the drink machines, one of them wasn't working. Then we discovered the butter dispenser wasn't working either. My husband, who is handicapped, had to walk to the opposite side of the counter just to get butter for our popcorn. By this point, we were roughly 15 minutes late for the movie we had paid to see. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. When we entered the theater, the trash cans were overflowing and the floors were covered with popcorn and other garbage. We finally reached our seats only to discover that the theater did not have reclining seats. My husband struggled to get comfortable for the first half of the movie. To make matters worse, the auditorium was so warm that we were sweating. I actually had to leave the movie and track down the employee at the ticket counter--the only staff member I could find--to ask if someone could please turn on the air conditioning. This theater appears to be poorly managed, understaffed, and lacking even the most basic attention to cleanliness and customer service. From the dirty concessions area, malfunctioning equipment, and overflowing trash to the lack of urgency from management and uncomfortable theater conditions, nearly every aspect of our visit was frustrating. I will never return to this theater, and after this experience, it's easy to understand why so many movie theaters are struggling to keep customers coming back.

Got there and found the guy loading up an entire pallet into his truck. Went inside to ask and see if we could buy one. Found out the guy had just bought all of them, brought the entire movie theater out. That pallet he was loading up was the 100 that came in the last order. He even bought the one that they were selling up near the popcorn machines. I go outside and get told I'll see you at the comic book shop. Only $55. That's a $25 up charge. On something they know is wanted and rushed for. Good investment, really crummy move. It was supposed to be an anniversary gift with a set of tickets sitting in it. All romantic like, the movie he first took me to. One of the local comic book shop has all the face huggers in a jar because they bought them all, in one load, while everyone was at work. And before anyone could see the movie. Since it comes out tomorrow. I hear kickbacks are a nice thing. The only reason I would think someone would sell a whole load at once. Dear Mr DM, I would look into this. You lost a lost of customers to AMC over this. It was posted on the local 411s and is known about. And a lot of people there say they haven't seen the promised buckets in the past. Maybe see if they have done this before. Have a blessed day
