    WOLF-BERRY MORO-NGUE  Berry Tartlet, Infused Meringue, Basil
    Mika M.

    A culinary movie experience! I have never done one of these before. I wanted to give it a try. It was such an amazing experience. If you ever book one of these make sure to book fast as popular movies do tend to fill up fast. The only downside is side about booking so far ahead is that you don't know what the menu is until it's a week before the showing. If you wait until then there is a good chance seats will book up. The Movie: Princess Mononoke A great spectacular movie! A Hayo Miyazaki studio Ghibli movie that explores a conflict between humanity and nature of cursed prince. I highly recommend watching. The meal: A set menu that is inspired by the film. The chef of our meal was from the Downtown San Jose restaurant called EOS & NYX. I honestly thought everything was delicious and really complimented the film. I believe the chef is different for each movie and so is the menu. You will never know what you will get based on film. Appetizer: Kodama-mame Steamed Edamame, Sesame, Togarashi, Lime MAIN ENTREE THE HATE-FILLED BOAR-B-Q Slow Roasted Ribs, Bok Choy, Plum Sauce DESSERT WOLF-BERRY MORO-NGUE Berry Tartlet, Infused Meringue, Basil ( you buy themed cocktail for extra. It's not included) CURATED COCKTAIL - $16 THE SHISHI-GAMI Tito's Vodka, Yuzu Citrus Syrup, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Fresh Lime Juice, Soda Water They do provide water bottle that comes with the meal. Overall, the experience was 10/10 and the food was very scrumptious. I would book another culinary dinner experience.

    The Pruneyard Cinemas in Cedar room will stay open. They just sent me this email!

    Great news, the Pruneyard Cinemas, and Cedar room will stay open!! I definitely will be better about patronizing these businesses in the future. I blamed her all my life, and some of my earliest memories are attending the theater in Pruneyard. While I'm thrilled for myself, more importantly I'm ecstatic & relieved for the employees who depend on this for their livelihood.

    A mom and pop dinner theatre?! Say less. I wish this was closer to me since it was the perfect little theatre with delicious snacks and great service. Location is fab and central to anything and everything you need. Plenty of parking too in the morning! I went on a weekday to watch a matinée movie. I was the only one in the theatre. Snacks arrived about as quickly as they were ordered and the server brought an adequate amount of napkins (very important in a dark theatre where you can't see where you're spilling!!). All staff I encountered were warm and pleasant. Bathrooms were clean. And although the place was all carpet, it didn't have that awful movie theatre carpet smell. Much more enjoyable and a better bang for your buck imo compared to the big brand name theatre near me.

    Perfect for date nights either solo or accompanied. Cute ambiance and comfy seats that have an attached tray for all your snacks or meals. Chill vibes and friendly staff all around. The theater is located in a shopping strip with other restaurants and shops so parking can be tedious, but not impossible, just be patient. I attended a special event which included a special viewing and dinner that consisted of a 3 course meal prepared by a guest chef.

    First time here and took my teen daughter to see the new Wicked movie. Staff was super welcoming and explained how the system works for ordering food and drinks from our seats. I would suggest arriving before the movie starts to get situated as it was a little awkward trying to navigate the QR code and menu in the dark while trying to be considerate of other viewers. Food and drinks were fantastic! They forgot my salad but it was so good when it finally arrived that I won't even deduct a star for that. Can't wait to go back with the entire fam next time we are in the area.

    Caesar with grilled chicken (chicken was flavorful and juicy!) + garlic parm fries (a must!!!)

    Always our go-to theater. The staff is always so nice. The facilities are always clean and up to par compared to other theaters in the area. They have complimentary water from a dispenser, which is nice. We loooove coming during dinner so we can make it a movie/dinner date night. Our favorite from the food menu is the Cinema Burger with the garlic parm fries OMG. We wanted to switch it up this time and got a hot dog and gp fries + a Caesar salad w/grilled chicken and a side of gp fries. Also can't watch a love w/o buttery popcorn and an icee! On this particular night, we went to see the new Freaky Friday movie and there was a huge group of 10-12 year old girls... you can only imagine how loud it was. I asked the server/staff to kindly increase the volume and while he looked surprised, he understood immediately LOL. Bonus points! Overall, we love Pruneyard Cinemas!

    Went here for the first time because they had a more convenient movie time slot compared to the other theaters. This is such a local gem and a really pretty theater. I love the aesthetic and their lovely staff. You can order food from your phone and they'll bring it within 10-15 minutes which is a relief because Alamo takes a extremely long time. I just found out they might be closing soon which is extremely unfortunate because of how it's basically a piece of history. But I understand how with everything going on businesses need to close down sometimes. So if you have the chance go before they're gone! (I don't know exactly when)

    Went and saw a movie here today around 11:15am and was surprised that the popcorn was cold and wasn't fresh. When they first opened years ago they had the best popcorn with real butter topping. The owners have changed and it's very noticeable that the quality of the food just isn't there. Now, they only have "butter flavored" topping. The menu for the food and cocktails isn't as good as it used to be either and very overpriced for low quality items. The seats were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Not sure I will be returning anytime soon.

    Pruneyard cinema is a dine-in theatre in the middle of pruneyard shopping mall. Overall it's just ok. The good: * they do have decent food. Better than most movie theaters. * the bathrooms are clean though the men's room is upstairs in a random hallway. * they have 6 minutes of trailers instead of the usual ~30 at century or amc. * the pretzel was decent * they have free water with legit size cups near the snack bar The bad: * the main area of the place smells like a tsunami of cleaner went through it. * the seats are kind of uncomfortable. * the tickets are kind of expensive $13 each at matinee. * the food is kind of expensive. * the kettle corn is awful. * the chicken wings were hot but way overcooked and dry. * the workers just seemed so unhappy to be there.

    Parking in the pruneyard in general is super hectic so definitely go early to endure you get to your movie on time. Theatre is super nice inside and the chairs are comfortable. You are able to scam a qr code to have food/drinks ordered and brought to your table during your movie which is amazing.

    What is the difference between "NEC Laser Projection" and "Sony 4K Presentation" showings?

    Hi Alex! Happy to help, NEC Laser is just newer technology and our newest projector. You may see both options listed for a film due to it playing in different showrooms but I can assure you, both are great options!

    How much is the total price for a Culinary Cinema movie and dinner event?

    Hi Jenni - Thank you for your question, the ticket price for Culinary Cinemas is $57.50 and there is a $1.75 service charge which brings the total to $59.25 for the movie and three course meal.

    Do the seats in the very back row recline?

    All the seats recline.

    What is the average price to rent out a movie theater and watch a new movie?

    Hi Kimberly, please reach out to events@pruneyardcinemas.com as the price varies by number of guests, day and time of movie, and a couple other factors.

    What is the current menu for this place, did they change it? I don't see tbe burgers listed on the menu online anymore?

    Hello Aresha, We currently have a flame-grilled, Braveheart beef burger on our menu. We are aware that the menu on our webpage is a little out of date. We plan on updating it… 

    Do they still serve wine?

    Yes

    Is the air conditioning system filtered for Covid?

    Yes. Prior to re-opening in May we upgraded our MERV-8 filters to MERV-13 filters at the recommendation of CDC documentation against covid-19.

    Do they have heated seats?

    No, at least when I went.

    We were going to go tonight but, the showing only had 2 seats on at each end at the very top which the top would have been fine but really? How does that work, we asked the tickets person said we'd have to sit on opposite ends?

    Oh no. That doesn't sound like fun. The seats are reserved. I would say try to go in early and see if you can have the entire row move down a seat so there are two seats together, but I have found that people maybe very hesitant to move. Everyone… 

    Are they open Christmas Day 2018?

    Yes

    Are food/drink offered all day, or only during certain hours?

    All day, during business hours.

    How do you order food?

    When I went, there are menus at your reserved seat so you can decide what to order. I think the seats have a button to call a server (kind of like the steward button on a plane) and someone comes to take your order.

    Do they have any 3D showings?

    At this time, we do not have 3D showings.

Parking is easy due to the neighboring parking structure. Do keep in mind that parking is validated for a few hours- just make sure you make your way to the information desk to input your license plate info. Seating is comfortable- allowing patrons to recline and heat up your chairs. Best of all, each seat has its own table- great for kids and for huge snackers! CineArts is well kept and always clean during my visits. The concession stand offers alcoholic drinks, hot foods, popcorn, candies, and sugary beverages. Hot dogs, popcorn, and the pizzas are great- chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks are trash. Don't bother getting the tenders or mozz sticks unless you like it dry and hard. 5/5 stars overall.

    I've visited Alamo Drafthouse twice since they opened about a year ago. The first time was during…read moretheir soft opening, and the second was more recently. When we first came for the soft opening, the service was quite slow and disorganized. We did not receive our food until the second half of the movie, even though we ordered at the beginning. However, we were impressed with the quality of the food and the strict no phones policy. At this point, Alamo was using a pencil and paper method for the staff to come by and pick up orders during the movie. We ordered bottomless popcorn and chicken strips meals. For the price, we felt we were given a generous amount of chicken. It also seemed to be better quality than chicken at other theaters in the area. We returned recently to see another movie, and the service had definitely improved. The staff was very quick with getting our food to us, and the quality of the food remained the same. However, it does seem like Alamo has lifted their no phones policy, opting to have moviegoers order food on their phones rather than with the original pen and paper method. While our theater was generally respectful about their phone use, part of the appeal of going to Alamo was that it was less likely other people in the theater would interrupt the movie with a bright screen.

This theater is not updated with the fancy seats, but what it lacks in that it more than makes up in charm, service, and community cultivation. Visiting 3Below reminded me that venturing out of that corporate capitalist bubble of perceived coziness would put me in a vibrant hub of social awareness. This is where you go to see the Documentaries IG mentions, but no theaters seem to have times for. This is where you can catch live performances on the same stage that you'll watch a thought provoking film. And, as the manager/owner of the fiercest security dog I've encountered mentioned, THIS is where you could learn to tap dance. Now, I'm hoping this could be a location for some line dancing in the near future, because I think Sofa Streetfair could be the place for some of this, and 3Below seems the perfect hub for practicing. But, what a cute location, and I'm told it's locally owned, too. I didn't actually fact check that, so my apologies if I'm spreading misinformation here. I'm just doing my best to sell you on falling in love with this alternative theater as much as my friend has...I'm converted and I'll definitely be back.
