    This was such a fabulous place to celebrate my birthday. I was excited to participate in this animated dining experience in San Diego. Four courses hosted by tiny chefs from; Spain, Italy, France and Japan. One cannot take eyes off the table. They create and entertain. The food was good, the service on schedule and they brought out a birthday cupcake with candle prior to the main dessert. It was animated too! If they update the shows, we will return. #LePetitChef #AnimatedDining #SanDiego #Birthday

    It was such an amazing experience and I truly believe everyone should experience Le Petit Chef at least once. It's so unique and fun, especially because each show has its own story. Watching the chefs "cook" your food right on your plate and then having the actual dish appear in front of you is such a cool experience. The ambiance was beautiful. A fancy, private room with dim lighting that really sets the mood. I also really appreciated the service. There's an open bar and you can get refills, which was a huge plus. It is a bit on the pricier side, but it was absolutely worth it for me. I honestly thought the portions would be small and that I might still be hungry after, but it turned out to be very filling. And the food was AMAZING. 10/10 experience. I loved everything and would definitely go again next year to see a different show.

    Went to this last night and it was absolutely wonderful! The presentation was so cute and fun. And the food was delicious! I had an awesome time and would recommend this experience.

    The steak was rare or med rare, could taste the "rawness". The carrots tasted raw and not honey glazed as stated on the menu.

    I saw mixed reviews online (not Yelp) about the quality of the food served so didn't go in with high expectations. The food was very good, with the exception of the filet mignon. It would be nice if the guests were given an option on how they like their steaks cooked as it only comes rare or medium rare. I'm a steak gal but the steak did not taste as well as I imagined it could. Also, the carrots didn't taste honey glazed at all, rather raw. The crème brûlée was pretty good, the dish was shallow and only had one blackberry on it, compared to the menu where it said fresh "berries" plural and even other pictures I saw from others. The service was delightful until the very end. After our server took our remaining payment, the service diminished and did not remove the last plate for the ending video. I did appreciate that they were attentive with refilling drinks and changing out silverware after each course. Hitting on all the rating points for Yelp, the ambience was nice. The room was kept dark, all the tables were white so can easily project the show on the tables. Overall, for the price paid, this experience was average 3 stars. Nothing above and beyond than what was paid for. I would consider returning and bring my kids so they can have this cute experience and try a different menu as it looks to rotate.

    Dessert- Crème Brûlée

    Made reservations via their website for a Wednesday dinner at 6:30pm. Parked at the parking structure on 6th & K which was a flat rate of $5 (parked from 5:59-8:27pm). The restaurant is located inside Hilton's Wild Hare Bar. We arrived 30minutes prior to our reservation as instructed, to be seated at the designated seats. You might share the table with another couple if you are a couple but they also had a three, 2 seater tables as well. If you are a large group, you will be separated as the largest table size seats 4. The staff will let you know how to set your camera setting (for iPhone 4k. 24) for best quality video recording and will let you know when the next show will begin. The shows were quirky and light. You will get the whole meal listed on the menu which includes both the lobster and the filet mignon (They do offer vegetarian menu which you need to pick during reservation). There is a 15minute break between the lobster and the filet mignon to use the restroom if needed. Each meal was perfectly seasoned and cooked well. Nothing was overly salted or heavily sauced but just right. The seafood in the seafood bisque tasted fresh and the lobster went well with its sauce. The filet mignon was cooked medium rare. I couldn't finish the steak and asked for the rest to be boxed to go. The crème brûlée was amazing with its soft vanilla bean flavor and although I couldn't finish the steak I was sure to finish the crème brûlée. They do add a surcharge of 18% gratuity at the end so your total will come out to be pretty pricy (total of $455.18 for two). The shows were ok but the food was amazing. Staff timed the service really well and each server only managed three tables max so service was great as well.

    I love that they were able to accommodate any special requests (no dairy, full cooked meats/seafood) ahead of time when you reserve online. For the price, I'm not sure if it's truly worth it, but it's an experience. I was disappointed in the quality of the projection, pretty blurry. Overall, service was great, just go in with low expectations

    This was the most absolutely amazing experience I have ever had the opportunity to attend/be a part of. It was the absolute perfect date night. Pricey as hell but worth every penny. The service was amazing - and they were nice enough to explain a few items that were obviously way too fancy for me without making me feel like a complete fool. The food was spectacular - and at 5 courses, we had to take home the leftovers. It was a magical night that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone who came together to make this happen.

    had such a fun experience at Le Petit Chef! It's definitely something different and unique. The interactive dining makes it especially enjoyable--perfect if you like a little extra stimulation (great for those of us with short attention spans!) or even if you're on a date where you don't have a ton in common, since the show itself becomes part of the conversation. What surprised me most was how good the food was. The lobster was perfectly cooked, the soup was rich and flavorful, and the filet was tender and delicious. Overall, it's more than just dinner--it's an experience, and I'd absolutely recommend it for anyone looking to do something memorable.

It is very interactive so for that reason, I think it's definitely an acquired taste. The actors were incredible and really knew how to keep the audience engaged. I really wish the actors had a microphone because even though the room is small, it echos and when anybody at your table laughs, you miss what they are saying. I also did not like how close we were sitting to each other at the table. They should have less people at each table and bring more tables in. The food was the reason I took off a star. The food was incredibly disappointing. For $70, you would think they could serve better food. It's a 3 course meal and all were bad. The appetizer was like 4 tomatoes with balsamic. Not a salad and very small for an appetizer. I'm really glad they had a pita bread and hummus bar in the beginning because that kept me full until the main course. I got the vegetarian option which was pasta with veggies but the pasta was so over cooked it was like mush. I've never had pasta that soft. My bf got the chicken and he also felt it was too dry and it wasn't served with anything with substance like mashed potatoes or veggies or anything. Just some piece of kale. Dessert was cake. I thought it was cheesecake but it was more like coffee cake. Also very bland. No frosting or anything, just a little whip cream. Other than food, it was so much fun!!

I ordered right when the Movie, Began. I was late and so Glad 20 min. the Movie hasn't started yet. Rolling other film Previews. SCORE!I *does arm chug, lifts knee to an angle. *does it **again**. Experimented to try other Tingz on the Menu, + it wasn't (unfortunately) worth it for me, these items... Hot dog, truffle fries were battered more than I Hoped . It was Very expensive . So, you'll have to Choose what is Worth it for you, (items) on the menu. The croutons were just diced baguette pieces and not garlic, butter flavored. (Tears) When I pressed the button, to my in-house butler ;) .. the Server, took their Sweet time to come to me. Also, I ordered online, the gratuity tip was automated $8.00 which I don't feel was deserved. I did Love the Gentleman wishing me a 'Goodnight', in the end. It does make a Difference. Some were Busy Closing their end-of-the-Night tasks, Rather than making it a Guest experience. Other than that... I Still had a 10/10 TIME w the Movie I watched, and Overall Enjoyed myself, AGAIN! *Happy dance. The Audience was Great, Interactive, consisted of mostly women for this 'Chick Flick' + I felt we Experienced the movie Together~ everyone giggling at the same time, cringing, upset, in the same moments of the Film, etc. etc. . . Left w Smiles. Smiles All Around. . :) Millennials singing to 'Greatest Mistake', by Sheryl Crowl, waiting in the Ladies Room...(as it played in the Background + echoed throughout the Hallway walls, walking out of the Theatre. . .) Left with a feeling of Accomplishment + sense of Purpose of a Good Time Had. And, Hopeful for many, Many More ! ~~Let the GOOD TIMES, ROLL. 'Til Next Timee! Ciao* ***** The BEST. I Love coming Here!! Will be Bacck! I had an Awesome Experience!! + I Truly Enjoyed myself :) I had a Lot of Fun . I Saw the New Spiderman Movie. . . So Glad to have Spontaneously decided to go Here Friday Night. Side note: This Experience was Truly Meant to be & was Exactly what I Needed. And, I am So Thankful. The Stars were Aligned, Alligning.*****Again. Very Comfy Chairs, w/arm rests. .Felt like VIP, First Classs. You have a Server that comes to you with One Push of a Button ;) . You have your own Personal Butler. You can order Food w them or with QR Code. It depends but the Food came out like 10-15 min. (It was Longer for the Salmon.) They have a lil' Night Light on the Side and a lil' Table that swivels. You Kick Back + have your Feet Up on the Recliner, as the Back part Tilts to an Angle.... & There, you Relax the Night Away. Super Expensive Food ....but def Worth the Experience ... if you want to make it Special. :) Call me Boujee but it's Def. for those that Like to be Pampered. Fried Calamari is so Bombbb. It was Perfect in Every way. No Complaints. The Crunch is Sharp + Pierces your ears and those around you. You can tell they Perfectly drained it and let it sit out, as it was oil-free. And, the Parmesan Added a Richness to Tie it All Together. Last time I had the salmon, brussels and mash. (I could make this dish at Home-but it was my Birthday.) It was very Good. Brussels were thoroughly cooked... & easy to bite into, your teeth goes through the vegetables without Resistance. Everything on my plate was Soft + Tender. Note: The movie doesn't Start on the dot. They play a Few other films Prior (incase you're Running Late). *If you don't like your Seat, Any Seats Left Open AFTER the Movie Starts you can Steal. *When choosing your seat online, make sure that it's not Upfront near the Screen... like I Did. It gave me some Anxiety being that Close to the Screen. Luckily, my Butler (^o^) helped me, (which was so Awesome) Move to a Better Seat... which gave some distance & a Better view. *You can have Non-Alcoholic drinks *They do have Dessert. I Do Like it when they have Greeters, when you walk in. (There wasn't Any.) And, it felt a lil' Ghost Town w no Human Interaction, Out Front. I Do Like it when they check your Tickets, (Makes it more Professional. They didn't this Time + you were able to just walk in.) Having Employees Posted out Front makes it more Professional, Elite, Private and Structured. There was no white glove service, (this time) aside from my partially Attentive Server. Last Time, I was Greeted by the tenant at the Concession Stand. And, my ticket was checked. But, overall it is a Luxurious Experience. The Theatre Reminds me of: MTV Cribs where the Pop Stars had their own Movie Theatre in their Home. ;) So, Across the Front Entrance, is a Lounge area-Restaurant + Bar. I Hope to Check out Oneday, as it also has a Romantic view at Night, under the Stars, And, is very Pretty. It's So Cool + I'm Really Grateful we have something like this in San Diego, at Liberty Station. I'm Looking Forward to coming Back.

We raced to get to the theater on time carrying our plates of food and we got into the theater and it was not cleaned yet. We made an effort to clean our own seats and got comfortable and started eating. The staff showed up after the movie start time and kicked us out while they cleaned. No apologies. We picked up our plates and utensils and waited in the very hot hallway. They are trying to save money i guess by not running the AC for the entire theater. I'm pretty sure they turned the AC off in the restrooms too. This place used to be a great theater. We've been there a ton of times. They also set off the fire alarm today interrupting our late starting movie. They blamed it on a smoker but who knows. They made us all wait outside for maybe 20 minutes while they left the alarm going. I worker came outside and filmed us all waiting for them to reopen. Customer service comes second here. Not sure what happened to this place. It was considered a close Cinepolis for us but their stock is down with my family now. Oh and when we finally got back in side no special considerations were made, the movie had run past the spot it paused for us and they left the lights on in the theater for 10 minutes. Then they rewound the movie again and made us watch the same few minutes over again. Customer service is dead here.

Overall a great experience!

And back then- majority of staff were wearing face masks. This location is in Downtown San Diego in the lower level of Courtyard by Marriott. Down below are old bank vaults, that we opened for guests to walk in a few years back- during intermission. This time, they were closed. And I was told by another family member- they're now utilized as meeting/ event space. But, next to vault and alcohol bar below- there are also telephone rooms. Wooden closets w/ a cushioned bench. The old public wooden telephones had a brass hand crank and a wooden ear piece. We had a group of ten both times we attended and unfortunately were not seated together. Although both experiences were Christmas gifts for all of us to hang out- we had a social hour upstairs at the pool table area. Which worked out because I had no idea our tables would be split, due to our group size. The appetizer menu is vegetables, hummus, and pita chips. Check out the website for dinner menu. The pre set Greek Salads at the tables were delicious! Vine ripe tomatoes, Persian cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olive & red wine vinaigrette to start off with. What I didn't appreciate (along with some guests assigned to our table also- is that the salad plates were quickly removed from us while we were still finishing up). Both times, we had the chicken. And this time, the chicken was DEFINITELY not the highlight. Most likely it was the frozen breasts w/ grill marks on them and just reheated. No flavor. Tough as heck. The accompanying herbed polenta, braised kale, and heirloom tomato relish was good. The actors are fast paced. Be suspicious of those at your table, people you meet in the lobby below as you're waiting to enter the dinner room. Be observant. Ears and eyes open. Make sure your phone is charged- since you can scan a few QR codes during this experience. Which are also the clues that will be posted to the Clue Board. Another cool thing, someone that's part of this dinner mystery may use an attendee's social media as props! Like, obtaining photos- which is hilarious- bc it's part of the dinner mystery! There are gratuity envelopes at the center of every table. Although it's optional, of course, the gesture is appreciative. Restrooms are located at the main lobby and below. Stairs and elevator access. Valet parking available.
