    Hot Dog and Fries
    Florence A.

    Seating is nice and comfortable and that's the best part of this theater. We ordered a hot dog and chicken tenders - they came with fries and they were average. Even though it's delivered to your seat, it's still a movie theater! Popcorn was fresh. Servers delivering to seats (mine and those around me) is a distraction to me so it's not my favorite. Oh and they forgot an extra sauce that we ordered for the chicken tenders and there's no way to ask about that on their ordering app, so we would've had to have gone out to the concession stand and miss part of the movie so we just went without. The women's bathroom was not clean.

    Loved the dine in movie experience at the historic Pruneyard Cinemas Plan to attend the Culinary Cinema events with special course designed for the movie.

    Older and smaller theater, but we still enjoy coming here for the dine-in. Food is pretty good and staff are friendly.

    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!!!)
    Taylor P.

    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.

    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.

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. Tickets are pricey but i guess everything is nowadays. Idk about you but I'd rather spend my money on a place that guarantees comfortability and cleanliness.

The first thing you realize when you step into the room is the smell... like old dirty carpets. The seats felt like them too!! The seats were uncomfortable & literally 90 degrees, no recline whatsoever. I could feel the sleeves of the person sitting next to me kind of close, & I'm on the slender side. Usually I bring a blanket when I watch movies in the theatre because it gets cold. No, I wish I wore tanks & shorts inside. It was already pretty warm before the movie started, & when it ended, I was sweating like I was in a sauna, & I run cold! It was so hot that it felt cooler outside, & it was a +80°F day with a breeze. It's as if the theatre is being cheap with using AC! The side lights were still slightly on when the movie started as well. Sometimes the volume was so loud I had to plug my ears. The popcorn was kinda stale. The bathrooms were outdated & unkempt. The one bright side is they have the kind of soda machines that have a lot of options to pick flavors, even if one of them wasn't working. Def the worst theatre experience I've had in recent memory.

It was a nightmare and before I get into why let me first say I absolutely LOVED seeing the Odyssey in a normal theater. From the start with the Tech's Dome there were issues. We arrived 33 minutes early and already it seemed that there were 3/4 of the people the theater could fit in line. We waited for about 20 minutes in the summer heat to get in. They let us in before the movie started. Went to get seats first since they aren't assigned and they were the worst movie theater seats I've seen in years! Crammed like sardines. I fly often for work and am more comfortable riding coach on a plane. Then I went to get popcorn and water and the line was so long with just one register. By the time I got into the theater the movie was nearly 10 minutes in ... and they had a bunch of people still in line behind me. Now the worst of it... You can't see a damn thing in the Dome. Forget about sitting high up - that wasn't even the issue. It was that the movie was blurry and especially blurry if there was quick movement - and this is an action movie! I knew what was coming and how it was supposed to look since I had seen it a few weeks previously and I could barely make out what was happening. I felt bad for my friend I invited who hadn't yet seen the movie. He had the line of the night as we walked out: "Well.. it seemed like it was a dope movie"... You see a movie like this at the Dome and you'll get robbed of actually SEEING the movie. Just don't do it. Oh and when it was over they let the first credit of directed by Christopher Nolan come on screen then abruptly cut the music and announced on the PA system how to exit the theater

We hosted a Halloween event and nobody could even tell we were in the middle of a parking lot in a Campbell, CA park! lol All of my friends enjoyed and loved the concept. Again the experience was enjoyable and the theater was clean. The restroom though had a little odor though, so we had to keep the door closed for sure! My friend and I split the costs, which was $30 for egg rolls that we never even got. But that's okay, the driver said we would get a refund, not sure if she ever did! Andree the driver is amazing! He's super flexible, informative, and helpful! Hope he is always the driver when I book in the future! My mom actually recently booked the Mobile for my daughter's upcoming birthday in January! So I'm so excited about that!

    We had a wonderful experience with Chill Theaters for my daughter's 8th birthday! They showed up…read moreearly, and showed us how to use everything. It was really nice to have a bathroom for guests to use outside of our house! We appreciate everything. Thank you!

    So lucky to have one of the few indie theaters in the Bay Area, in San Jose…read more 3Below has excellent indie film curation. The customer service is superb. And the snack bar has reasonably priced goodies! The cherry on top? FREE VALIDATED PARKING FOR UP TO 3HRS!! I'll be seeing 3Below soon, again!

    Full disclosure, my friend put this place on my radar. I am a bit of a setting snob, and by this I…read moremean: give me leather seats, give me reclining chairs, and if my seat warmer isn't working, I'm going to be upset. But that's merely because life is uncomfortable and I am intentional about finding cozy pockets of joy. 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.
