I am all for supporting local businesses, so we chose Maya Cinemas in Salinas for a new movie and…read morewere disappointed from start to finish. First, the phone app disappeared. The kiosk to print online tickets was broken, which meant everyone had to wait in line at the concession stand just to get tickets. Then, since we had not visited in a while, we were not familiar with the layout anymore. Our movie was in Theater 1, but the numbering/signage was unclear. We saw Theater 2, but there was no visible number for Theater 1 nearby, leaving us second guessing whether we were in the right place. Once inside, the theater itself felt very worn down. The seats were so worn they looked dirty, and there were no food trays. I did like how far back the recliners went, but the farther you reclined, the more a barrier in front blocked the bottom portion of the screen. We also paid for the Dolby sound experience because my husband appreciates good audio quality, and he immediately noticed that not all of the surround speakers were being used, particularly the rear speakers. That noticeably took away from the movie experience. Overall, this theater feels neglected and run down. It is disappointing to see what was once a thriving theater decline so much. Unfortunately, we will not be back.

Yet another theater…read more I saw The Fantastic Four: First Steps here today. I have been to this particular theatre before, the matinee prices are very reasonable. Even been here for late afternoon showings as well. Some people may think movie theatres are a risky business these days, screw 'em! I am a movie buff and love seeing movies on a BIG SCREEN. Buying tickets through their app is convenient and standard. It was very handy to just bypass the line and scan my own ticket right at the start time. Seats here are very comfortable and spacious, screen and sound were great too. Now for the movie; I must say, The Fantastic 4 is genuinely what Marvel needed, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is back! It was one of the BEST MCU movies I have seen since Spider-Man No Way Home. The story is perfect, the character building, the soundtrack, score, it set the tone for the ENTIRE film, it tied together the visuals and everything else. Great momentum moving forward Thank you, and I recommend this theater.

As a tribute to Steinbeck and his connection to the area, the museum was thoughtful, engaging, and well worth the visit. I especially enjoyed the quirky gift shop, always a bonus when a museum shop has personality. The drive into Salinas was also unexpectedly lovely, with so many fields and vegetables growing. It gave the whole visit a strong sense of place and helped connect the landscape to Steinbeck's writing. A great stop for literature lovers, history fans, or anyone looking for something meaningful to do in the area.

The Beerded Bean and Cherry Bean are quality coffee shops, each with their own unique character and vibe. But new additions are here. Check out Karnival next to Maya Cinema for light fare and creative drinks. Mangia will seem familiar because the owners had manned Gino's for a good two decades before selling it and starting over with Mangia. Alvarado on Main is Alvarado Street Brewery's latest venue in an old bank. It's always popping. Brand new additions are Heirloom Pizza, still set to open this coming Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023 and Reba's is coming soon (a baking shop with long-time fans at Crossroads). There's too many to mention but don't forget about old favorites like Dudley's and Michael's Grill.

They have great areas to hang out though. Maya cinemas and the food places around the 100 block of old town is great. Fox theater and 201 Main are great additions too. Patrias is a wonderful German food place. There is a Mexican food spot next to the fox theater which is great also. Additionally, Dudley's is a great diner. The coffee places are awesome to meet great locals. Other than that, it's sort dead and go in the mornings to mid afternoons because in the evenings the place goes dry.

There were terrific wines choices for those who lean red, white, pink or bubbly. But... Prepackaged meals with very little choice and no way to add on or delete? The food wasn't terrible but the presentation is. The staff were attentive and welcoming but , in truth, not as knowledgeable about the vineyard locations and AVAs as they should be. I asked about the current dining situation and was informed that a new menu was being developed that would be more robust and flexible including the addition of hot entrees. I look forward to "eating my words" in this review when that happens. I loved the vineyard views, the staff attitude and the variety of wines available.
