It had been many years since our last visit to CineBistro. We liked it back then, but somehow never made it back, and between the pandemic, movie prices, and life in general, it just fell off our radar. Fast forward to now: my wife wanted to see the new movie Disclosure Day, which we both enjoyed, and she decided it would be the perfect excuse for a dinner-and-movie night. So we headed back to CineBistro. I'd recommend arriving about 30 minutes before the movie starts so they have time to take your order and you can hopefully finish eating before the film begins. Prices are on the mid-to-high side, and they do add an 18% gratuity to the bill. That said, you can adjust it if you want to tip more, less, or remove it entirely. For dinner, my wife had the Shrimp Florentine Linguini, it came with sautéed Gulf shrimp, fresh linguini, roasted garlic cream sauce, spinach, marinated tomatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano, and wild mushrooms. I had the CMX Burger, which is two Angus Beef Patties, White American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Pickles, Special Sauce on Potato Roll. The burger also comes with fries. Soft drinks and bottled water are $7, which felt a little steep to me, although soft drinks do come with free refills. You can also just ask for a glass of water. The seats are very comfortable, with small tray tables or fold-out tables so you can eat right at your seat while watching the movie. Food is delivered directly to you, which makes the whole experience convenient and enjoyable. Overall, we were very happy with the food. It was tasty, and we have no complaints there. You really do get what you pay for, and this is a different kind of movie-going experience with good food to go along with it. If the movie is good too, it makes for a great night out. We would definitely come back. read more

Came here to see Avatar, such a long movie. I forgot their seats don't recline nor do they offer footrests. My long legs were def affected. It's $10 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but I'd pay more for a reclining seat. Also the movie screen felt smaller. On a positive note, bathrooms were emasculate. Not sure if I'll be back. AMC offers reclining seats for same price. read more

First time trying this theater. I think it was a good experience to try something a bit different, but overall I still prefer AMC. As others have noted the seats here do not recline so for s shortie like me, my legs were dangling the whole movie. Arrive about 30 minutes before show time to get a menu and get your order in. Food came out quickly. I had the waygu sliders with fries. They were okay. A bit greasy. Fries were nice and hot which I liked. Also had a popcorn and soda. read more

Service from waiter was great the manger was rude and refused ti dim the lights in the movie when the movie started. Then came up with a rule that you cant order food at certain time yet people have been late before and they ordered food and lights were dim. read more

I hate going to the movies but I absolutely love this place. It truly elevates the experience. Every single cocktail I've tried has been made to perfection and every single meal I've had has been good to the last bite. The seats are plush and super comfortable and the theaters are always immaculately clean, making for the best movie viewing experience. I truly do not enjoy seeing movies anywhere else. read more

When you're in the mood for higher movie good food & drinks, and a comfortable movie theatre experience, this is the place to go. We've been here several times, and came again for the new Star Wars movie. The service is always top notch, pleasant and food drinks comes out quickly. Typically you want to arrive half an hour early to get your order in. The waiters come around maybe once again right when the movie starts for refills or to pickup anything done. After that if you need drink refills it's best you don't wait and just get yourself. All in all an elevated movie experience. Oh and the leather seats have a slight rocking to them for comfort, but don't have reclining nor foot rest. Docking 1 star for that because this IS still a movie theatre, and the viewing experience has to be better for 5 stars. So the answer to the magic question was already included in my review, yes we enjoy coming out when wanting an elevated movie experience and will again. Tickets and food prices reflect that (tickets, soda, 1 alcoholic drink, app and 2 entres were about $140+), and overall we are pretty pleased enough to return. read more

Compared to other theaters, it was a bit pricey, but the experience itself felt worth it for a special night out.

This is one of my favorite spots to be. In fact, I'm going again this weekend. I always get their burger or their salmon. They are very tasty to be a part of a movie theater. I am in love with their drinks as well. I typically get their old-fashioned. The popcorn deal is a great deal as well as unlimited popcorn. They have very nice stuff and they keep it clean and tidy this is one of my favorite places. read more

CinéBistro is the Tony Stark of theaters: classy, clever, and smooth. Came for Fantastic Four, and stayed for the vibes. Dinner was gourmet, drinks were heroic, and service moved like Quicksilver. Add the bottomless popcorn. Suit up and indulge. ‍ read more

First time here & won't be my last. I love the option to have a full meal while watching a movie. The only con I would say is that the seats don't recline. Service is amazing & having a full bar available is always a good option. read more

Took myself on a solo date thinking I couldn't go wrong at Cinebistro. Im so disappointed. I arrived about 15 min before showtime. Tonight they were clearly understaffed. I ordered a Caesar salad and beef skewers and a ginger ale with popcorn. Total was $63. Crazy! My drink and popcorn came out quickly. About 35 min into previews and the movie, I realized my food hadn't come out yet. I left to go check-in which was disappointing to have to leave the movie. When my waiter heard I came out, he did come check in which I appreciated. My food took about 45-50 min to come out and was bland but fresh. I was disappointed they never did a last call before the movie started. I normally at least refresh my drink. Food was just ok. Movie was just ok. And at the end, no one gave the little mints they normally give you as you head out. To have automatic gratuity and charge their very expensive prices, they gotta do better! read more

YOU DESERVE A DINNER AND A MOVIE. CMX CineBistro Hyde Park had me feeling fancy with a full-on steakhouse experience before the film even started. I ordered the Bistro Tender with butternut squash potato mash and a tempura lobster on the side--washed it all down with a Hennessy margarita (because, obviously). Everything was fire. The steak? Tender and juicy. The mash? Smooth and flavorful. That tempura lobster? Crispy, buttery perfection. Only downside? You gotta order everything before the movie starts. I'm used to Alamo Drafthouse, where you can scribble down an order mid-movie and have a server grab it. Would've loved another drink without having to miss part of the movie. But overall? The vibes are there, the food is top-tier, and the theater itself is super comfy. If you're tryna upgrade your movie night, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back! read more

The Good: The bartender was super friendly and made a delicious strawberry mojito. I had the lunch special, which was chicken souvlaki, and it was excellent. A friendly server (not our order taker) was very helpful in bringing soda and popcorn refills. The Bad: Tickets for 2 for an afternoon showing of Furiosa came to $41.16, including tax and a $3.98 "convenience fee". Yikes! And yes, while it's convenient to book online, and pre-choose a seat, almost every movie theater has that option now, so Cinebistro does not stand out anymore. I have a feeling that's why there were only about 8 customers in the seats for an new Memorial Day movie. Between the cost of the tickets, the high cost of food for lunch, and the very unfriendly server we initially had, I don't think I'll be in a rush to return. read more

One of the best movie theaters I've been to. Stylish bar, great customer service and the staff serves your meal! I'll definitely be back for another film. Thank you! read more

I value comfort. For this price- the seats should recline. I was so disappointed that they did not. Everything else was great, but because I care about comfort more than anything, I sadly would not recommend this theater to anyone that expects a quality reclining seating experience. For that reason I will not be returning. read more

The theater was very clean and I was indecisive about what movie to pick and the lady and the counter recommended I see the materialist. When I got seated the waitress came around so I can order my food and drinks. I ordered a strawberry mango lemon drop. And wagu sliders. It was a 10/10. I would most definitely be back read more

The theatre was clean, quite small though. It was a full showing so there were a lot of servers moving around during the first 15ish minutes of the movie to get everyone's food / drinks sorted. The crispy chicken bowl looked amazing. They dim the lights at 15 minutes into the movie. Only thing I would change is having diners begin eating prior to the movies official start as it caused a lot of commotion during the first 20-30 minutes hearing all your neighbors eat their dinners, but that I guess is to be expected of the experience. Will be back on their discount ticket Tuesdays read more

Had a drink and French fries at the bar prior to the movie. Great service. Placed an order about 20 minutes before the movie and the food arrived just before the lights dimmed down. We had the Crunchy Chicken bowl, the steak w/lobster tempura AND the shrimp. The food was way more than we thought we would get and absolutely phenomenal. Though the seats don't recline back, they're very cozy and quite comfortable. All in all, an absolutely perfect Date. 1-note: the prices are very reasonable for what you get and 19% gratuity added to the movie service. read more

Decided to do a spontaneous date night to watch The Accountant 2. My boyfriend and I hadn't been here before and were excited to see what the hype was all about! The service was amazing, they immediately explained the ordering process to us and had a very professional demeanor. We had already had dinner so only indulged in the bottomless popcorn and truffle fries. (I also got a hot coffee because, yes it was nighttime but I otherwise would fall asleep!) the popcorn was tasty, but only buttery on the top. Very large amount that we didn't need to get a refill for the two of us. The fries were very good and crispy with a nice taste of truffle and Parmesan. I will note that the prices are not cheap and they automatically add on ~19% gratuity to the check so be aware of that. My only other wish was that the seats would recline! The cushions are nice and very spacious but the comfort level would have been much higher with recliners. Overall it was a nice experience, definitely preferred over other theaters. read more

While we've never had any issues with this location and everyone has always been so kind and welcoming, I must admit I was a bit disappointed with management today. I tried to purchase two tickets for the 8:30 showing of "Hail Mary" on 3/21/26 through their website. When I saw that all the seats weren't available, I called to speak with management. I was told that none of the handicap seats in any of the theaters are available right now because they are undergoing repairs. I feel like whoever made the decision to remove all the handicap seats may not have fully considered the patrons who can't climb stairs. I would really appreciate it if management could get back to me and help me understand how this aligns with ADA guidelines. Thank you very much for your time. read more

Cinebistro is a movie theatre with full service and is equipped with built-in trays for dining at your seat. I've been to Cinebistro a couple of times (years apart) and saw two Marvel films. I'm used to Marvel getting the best theaters at AMC, like imax or Dolby. CMX is antiquated by comparison. It's hard to make Marvel lackluster. Unlike AMC's, Cinebistro offers a stacked full bar, dinner and dessert menu plus service at your seat. The menu is gluten-friendly. During my last visit I ordered the tuna poke bowl and a cocktail. My date ordered steak salad with side of fries and cocktail. My bowl needed more sauce. Otherwise, everything was decent. My seat was comfy but didn't recline and was closer to my neighbor than it would be at AMC. The trays don't tuck away anywhere so you're stuck with them during the movie. Overall, Cinebistro offers more food and service but lacks the modern cinematic experiences of AMC's. read more

When I came in I was greeted by a desk person who didn't speak to me, they rudely slapped my ticket down on the counter after I scanned my ticket. Seats were comfy but I wish they reclined. My main gripe is the food. Perhaps it was naive to expect a good steak at a movie theater, but for upwards of $40 I expected something decent. It was tough and overcooked. My drink was good. It ended up being about $100 for a movie, drink, and a burnt steak. Maybe I'd come back, but I don't recommend ordering the food. Eat somewhere else in Hyde park. read more

I enjoy this theater. It's always clean and the service is friendly. The food options are great considering it's a movie theater. I like that you can pick your seat so there is no rush and everyone can come in without the stress of trying to find seats. I will say the only draw back is that there isn't any button to push to get a waiter back during the movie as I have seen in other eat in movie theaters. Their rewards program is pretty good as well. I would recommend signing up if you frequent the movies as I do during the holidays and when it's cold. read more

My first movie in years. They sent a free birthday ticket for some reason, so I gave it a shot. The steak salad was top notch. I also had a Jai Alai craft beer. The trays come up to your nipples so it's a little awkward. Seats bounce but don't recline. They tack 18% on automatically, so don't add another tip. I didn't think the sound system was too great ... I could barely hear a lot of whispered dialogue. I'd go again if the right movie comes along. Parking is easy and restrooms are very nice. read more

I will never be going to another movie theater after this experience. We went here for a date night and the entire night blew me out of the water! This theater is located in the perfect area, tons of restaurants and bars, and coffee shops located within walking distance so you could hang out right before your movie, but there's absolutely no need! If you come 30 minutes before your showtime you get a full course Meal at this theater. There's so many specialty drinks to choose from my absolute favorite is the pineapple habanero, it has a perfect amount of sweetness, and just a little bit of spice! If you are trying to decide on any meals, the salmon is to die for! The burger is definitely a 10 out of 10 as well. And the seats are so comfortable! The servers take your order right before the movie and you have time to eat. Unfortunately, we did have a longer wait time for our food however, the service and manager were so supportive And very attentive to our wait time and was able to compensate us without us even complaining or asking! After the movie when you walk out of the theater, there's a nice little host that greets you with a mint! Definitely a very expensive date. However, the experience is well worth it! read more

Why do servers keep entering the theater during middle of the movie here?? This is twice now and always happens with a tray full of food or drinks, disrupting the theater at the most inopportune times. Last night, Iron Claw, tragic death scene an hour into the movie, theater is pitch black and silent, this server comes in and goes up to each row trying to serve a tray full of food. Terrible. read more

Literal definition of dinner and show! First, the seats in the theater is extra cushiony and has a slight rock to it. Not fully reclinable but still very comfortable. Second, the food! I love that you can order a whole dinner from your theater seats. The tuna poke bowl is quite good and they have a hearty burger on the menu. Ive tried both the steak options: the steak au poivre and the hangar steak. I would say skip both the steaks. Get the other stuff. One thing surprisingly DELISH here is the coffee, yup I order a cappuccino with my 9pm movie. Thank you!! There are servers who come up to you inside the theater and service has always been great. In the lobby is a full sized bar and lounge area. Parking is free in the garages throughout Hyde Park Village. read more

It's been about 5 years since I was at Cinebistro and I felt like it's gone a little down hill. Felt outdated and expensive. The cocktails we got at first were tasty. We ordered a Gimlet Revival and a martini. The cocktails were $15 and were good. Our tickets were $15 each as well. For a date night, with food and drinks it was a pricey night at around $130. Once we went to the theater, we were told to order all at once. We ordered a burger, a crispy chicken bowl, a coke, and popcorn which was difficult to fit all on the small tables. Gratuity was included automatically which was a surprise since we were only two people. All in all it was a good experience but I would likely go to dinner somewhere else prior and get a better experience. Also, would like chairs that recline other theaters have. read more

I was really excited to try Cinebistro after seeing that it was a full-service movie dining experience. While it's a very nice looking theater, the experience was very underwhelming and disappointing. While it is listed as full service, there aren't any in-seat option where you can get service throughout the movie. We came a few minutes before the start of the movie (as we usually do) and after waiting around, we found out we would have to order at the bar since we missed the cut off time. The seats do not recline, as well, which was a bit disappointing, especially after striking out with ordering food for the movie. Overall, I wouldn't consider Cinebistro a full service movie dining experience but more of a movie theater with an option for dining. With the premium cost of a ticket, I don't believe it's worth it. read more

I will start with this location is a welcomed experience back to the movie theater since I haven't been to one in Tampa. The staff were most welcoming. Our drinks were made to order and the food was quite tasty. We ordered the burger and popcorn because who goes to a movie and not order popcorn. I will say we hate we were not hungrier as the other food items coming out looked delicious. read more

Stopped in today and it again was terrible. Waiter acted like he didn't want to be there. Paid for our stuff when we ordered. It finally came out after the movie started (15-20 minute wait for 2 drinks and popcorn) and it may say "bottomless" but good luck trying to get the waiter or waitress back over. They also tack on 19% gratuity with your order as well. I wouldn't recommend. read more
