    D-box theater
    Bella J.

    It is a nice clean movie theater. The only reason I chose this place is because it offered the D-BOX. I thought it was the full experience like imax+moving chair+smell etc. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Only the chair moves. you can modify its intensity from 1-3, but it is just shaking you unnecessarily and not a good feeling. Most importantly, the screen is just normal screen. No imax, no glasses and no 3D. I won't recommend the D-box. The theater itself is nice and located inside the Galleria mall and very convenient.

    I went back and forth on writing this review because I really loved this theater at first, but it's consistently gone downhill. For context, I literally drove from PG County all the way to Tysons (if you know, you know) just to come here - that's how much I loved it. So... this theater has a full bar and kitchen. If you arrive about 30 minutes before your movie, a server will take your order right from your seat. The drinks? Always on point, I must say lol. But let's talk about my last two experiences. Experience #1: I walked into the theater, got comfortable, and everything seemed fine, until Jerry from Tom and Jerry decided to run across the floor. I had to take a moment to process what I just saw. Thankfully, the server and manager handled it beautifully; they were understanding, accommodating, and really professional about the situation (the server was very knowledgeable about her bourbon ). I left impressed and decided to give it some time before returning, assuming they'd fix the issue. Experience #2: A few weeks later, I came back. I arrived about 20 minutes early and was told to order at the counter this time instead of from my seat. I ordered the popcorn trio and a drink -- $45 total. When I entered the theater, the previous guests' food and plates were still there. I waited for someone to come clean, but no one did, so I had to ask. When the server finally came in, she asked me about the concern, but spoke mostly to another woman and acknowledged me here and there. After I took my seat, she asked if I was in the right one... like huh? There are only 2 of us in here I think you can determine pretty easily if I was in the correct seat - I brushed it off, but it got worse... nearly 40 minutes later, I still didn't have my food. I had to get up and grab it myself and another woman was up there wondering where her food was as well . The back flooring was kinda dirty from what I could see, but I couldn't see it all so I can't call it. To top it off, one of the armrests near me was missing, and instead of fixing it, they left the screws exposed. I really struggled writing this because I've been loyal to this theater, but honestly, I won't be back for a while. If I do, it'll just be to watch a movie, no food, no drinks. I might try another CMX location eventually, but I'm truly disappointed.

    Tuna poke bowl
    Annie P.

    CMX has been our go-to movie theater for the past few movies that we've watched. The seats are super comfortable and in a perfect setting for a long movie, and the dine-in concept makes for a fun, elevated outing. The food is above average for a movie theater. I highly recommend the crispy chicken bowl and the tuna poke bowl since both have been consistent and satisfying. The truffle fries are also a standout. On the flip side, the popcorn doesn't taste particularly fresh, which is a bit disappointing for a theater experience. They also have a bottomless option for popcorn as well as unlimited refills for soda, but you'll need to leave the theater to partake. Service can be a hit or miss. Some visits, the staff is attentive and everything runs smoothly. Other times, it feels disorganized or slow, but it also depends on how many patrons are in the theater. That being said, CMX still stands out as a more upscale and enjoyable option compared to other theaters in the area. This is a solid spot for a casual date day/night.

    Came in and left over drinks and food were still at our seats. They complained of being short staffed. This isn't a first at this location. I won't be back.

    Popcorn Trio

    The food and drinks are pricey but they are very good!!! Such a fun place!!! The service was wonderful too! They don't deliver food during the movie and that is a great rule!!!

    This movie theater is a special treat to yourself. Its clean and the floors aren't sticky The seating is comfortable however the seats are still close to each other and separated by a small partition. I would have preferred it to be spaced out from other chairs. Thankfully the theater did no have alot of people when we went. The service is good and we got everything we ordered in a timely manner. I server was funny which made the experience even better. There is a gratuity charge that goes to all the staff which is fair. The food and drinks are pretty pricey but definitely worth it. Remember you're treating yourself. Movie tickets are affordable. We paid $12 per person. We order the tempura lobster skewers, the half ceasar salad, bottomless popcorn, Domini pinot grigio, and a bottle of acqua panna. The sauce that comes on the tempura lobster is super good, but they dont put enough on it. In my opinion the sauce is what makes the dish so good. The ceasar salad was good also but severed on a really small plate so the salad tends to fall off. The popcorn is buttery and delicious pairs well with white wine. I probably wouldn't order bottomless popcorn if you ordered other food items because its too much popcorn go smaller. All and all its a great experience. You dont have to spend alot of money to enjoy this theater. But, just note things add up quickly and become very pricey. I definitely suggest coming here to see a good movie.

    Crispy chicken bowl
    Tiffany W.

    It's nice that there's a theater option at Galleria. I went on a Friday night. It wasn't busy at all but I purchased tickets online ahead of time just in case. Placed orders with the staff once seated inside. You could also place orders outside of the theater, as well as inside before the movie starts. Ordered the crispy chicken bowl, but no sauce. I'll admit, the meal was as dry as the Sahara desert, but I didn't want the extra calories. Also, I thought the portion was very small. The seating was comfortable and I appreciated that each seat has a lamp so you can see your food if you need to.

    Horrible service at the bar for the price of these tickets.

    Arrived and the reception pointed us to the bar. Walked to the bar and the attendant had a horrible attitude. We asked for something similar to nachos and her response was "we only have what's on the menu". Ok that's fine, so we proceeded to choose milkshakes for our group and her response was that they didn't have milk. Why not let us know a few seconds before when you told us about the menu. Next we asked for a bottled water and she said they don't do that. At this point we didn't order much from this "bistro". Lastly we asked for a side of jalapeños and she told us to let the server know when they bring out our order. When our food arrived we asked the server for jalapeños and he tried to tell us that we had to order that from the bar. Luckily the server understood the confusion and lack of communication from the bartender and brought us jalapeños. The service from the bartender was horrible and definitely left a negative impact on our group about CMX Bistro. I will add that the theater and the seats were clean but the service and the amount paid for the experience not worth it.

    Gorgeous entrance

    Spectacular theater experience that delivers the Disney IMAX experience (seats move and sound in your seats amplify the feeling of being IN the movie)! To top it off the menu is exquisite for a movie theater! Well prepared and tasty. We ordered a lot - very unique flavor profiles for that elevated appeal. Seemed clean. Free parking garage! Mall is beautiful with tons of options before and after. Worth a visit for sure - this would be the only theater I go to. Go, enjoy!!!

    Blackened Salmon with Mashed Potatoes and Shrimp
    Shandy R.

    I've been meaning to come here since last year and finally bought some tickets to see Issa Rae's One of Them Days. I came here with one of my good friends for a Galentines evening and overall the food was great, the service was great, but the actual movie it self turned green a few times and cut off about 30-40 mins before it was supposed to end. It could not be turned back on so we received vouchers. Super disappointing. I do think more could have been done or provided but they tried. As far as the food, I got the Crispy Chicken Bowl and I would come back just for that alone. Its SO good! I also love that they give chopsticks as an option for utensils. My friend got the Blackened Salmon with a Shrimp Skewer and the Lobster Tempura and that was amazing as well. I did notice there weren't many dairy free options so we were pretty limited in terms of what we chose so I'd definitely recommend adding some dairy free or vegan options to the menu if possible. Overall, I think everyone should visit this theater at least once!

    Plant burger and fries
    Grace J.

    My first time visiting here with friends to see the movie Wicked. We were offered complimentary movie passes to use at a later date due to a delayed start to the movie which was greatly appreciated. The seats were super cozy, and the theater gives an intimate vibe, definitely a good date night spot! The service was great, and the food was pretty good, I ordered the Vanilla Milkshake and Plant Burger with added cheese and fries. My only con is that my food was lukewarm which with how expensive it was I'd expect it to come out warm or hot. I'd also recommend diversifying the milkshakes to include dairy free options for those who are dairy free. Overall, I had a good experience and I'd be happy to come again--next time I'll definitely give the Boozy Milkshake and Lobster Tempura a try!

    Boozy cookies and cream milkshake
    Breanne R.

    Overall my experience at CMX was enjoyable! I appreciated them giving us free passes for waiting an additional 10 mins for the theater to open as they cleaned it. The service was fast and friendly! They do add 18% gratuity, which I find to be a scam but is definitely common in the DMV. Overall the theater felt luxurious. The seats were comfortable and the menu was expansive. I enjoyed my boozy cookies and cream milkshake and plant burger. I do wish my milkshake could have come out after my burger, but I understand why they bring it all out at once. My burger could have benefited from a chipotle aioli or an additional sauce, but was pretty good and I loved the truffle fries!

    Strawberry mojito

    Overall very mid experience but there were a few things that really stood out to me as red flags. To start they don't explain the seating situation very well at all so we ended up sitting in the second row thinking if he theater only had three rows, when in reality the theater had around 7 rows and the back four were the DBOX experience or whatever. So I was a little annoyed that we were so close to the screen. Then we ordered food and drinks and of course I tipped when the screen came up, not knowing that they auto apply gratuity so I ended up tipping $30 dollars all together. Additionally the food was very expensive, which I expected, but it was mid. If I went again I'd just eat the food court in the galleria as they have way better food. The strawberry mojito was extremely sweet, genuinely a level of sweetness I didn't know was achievable (negative connotation). The island aperol spritz was good. The service kinda sucks because they only let you order from your seat before the movie starts. The seats were nice but the Alamo draft house is just as nice with better service throughout the movie. If you're looking for a nice dine in movie experience I'd skip this place and go to the Alamo

    Is the theatre hot / cold or just right?

    Just right...but bring a light jacket or sweatshirt just in case.

    How easy is it for people to walk past you if your seat is reclined? Some theatres it's easy, others you have to stand for people to pas (ala - Alamo, one loudoun)

    Ita pretty easy! You will not need to stand

We were seated in a large comfortable booth located along the far wall of the restaurant after we declined seating in the bar area which is cramped and always loud. Great spot though for sports fans because this is where the huge TVs and loud music are hooked up and if you are not into making a conversation with your date or company. Service was polite, attentive and friendly - thanks, Fidel! And what made dinner good were the crispy mozzarella cheese sticks, juicy jalapeño burger, and yes, they had the 3 course well prepared and thick prime rib dinner. We had come here twice before and were disappointed because they ran out of their Friday to Sunday prime rib special. Another downer was they ran out of the full size cheese pizza and only had a pizzookie-sized pizza (kid's meal) which is way too mini for a personal size portion. We think it was odd (or poor planning?) that BJs ran out of a popular dish early - 7:30 pm dinner on a popular day Sunday, thus downgraded BJs to 3 stars. To add, skip the margarita flight which was mostly ice and a cocktail of awful artificially sweet colored syrups sans tequila! Yuck! I should have complained and asked the bar to re-do it but I didn't thus, the 3 stars stuck. Overall, we had a great time, a good meal, and an excellent customer service from Fidel on this visit and would return again. So, check out this BJs but omit the margarita flight, skip pizza if they ran out of the regular size portion, and ask to be seated in a booth along the wall far away from the bar and kitchen where the decibel seems the loudest!!!
