Even though I wasn't there to do a full shopping trip, everything I saw was clean, well organized, and well maintained.

I'll definitely have to come back sometime to do more shopping. Based on what I saw, this seems like a well-run store that's worth visiting.

We hadn't been to this theater for many years, so we were glad to find that we still had a very good experience. Although I'm not reviewing the movie itself, I do want to mention that I had somehow never actually watched it before. I had seen many images and clips from the movie here and there over the years, but I had never sat down and watched the whole thing. We truly enjoyed Terminator 2. No wonder it is considered such an iconic movie, it is still a great movie by today's standards. The great sound and picture quality at this AMC really helped us enjoy the movie. I was especially pleased that the theater was clean, including the seats and trays. We were in Auditorium 5. The temperature was comfortable throughout the movie as well. The large "leather" seats were supposed to be comfortable, but unfortunately, the recline and footrest buttons on my seat did not work. My husband tried his, and both worked for him. The seats were also very large, but they had become somewhat sunken to one side, presumably from years of wear and tear, which made them less comfortable than they should have been. I tried several seats, and they all seemed to have the same issue. Since I was sitting between my husband and my daughter, I decided to just keep my original seat and tried not to let it bother me. We had already had pizza for dinner before the movie, so we didn't get anything from the concessions. Still, I was glad to see that the concession area was bustling around 6:45 pm. The washrooms were also quite clean around that time. Overall, we're glad to see that this AMC is still running well after so many years, although we're sad to see Northbrook Court slowly dying. Seeing a movie in a theater is such an enjoyable experience, and we hope people will continue to support movie theaters so that places like this can stay around for many more years.

The show was in theater number six which was a very nice size. The seats were super comfortable and reclined with a foot rest. Also, what I like about the seating here is that each row is very private, and I could barely see the people in the rows ahead of me. Plus there was plenty of room between my seat and the next ones over. The sound and picture quality were excellent! I am happy that this updated AMC theater remains even though the mall has been dead for years.

They are two great food places there for parents to sit if they have a teen go to a movie by themselves. #ParentTaxi Once you take the working escalator upstairs, the snack counter begs you to purchase that popcorn and soda. Or nachos. Or candy. Or if later in the day, a drink at the bar. The movie volume is not excessive. The reclining seats work. And the bathrooms are stocked and clean. It is exactly what you'd expect from a movie theater.

It's cool because they have enough kiosks so that you can just buy your tickets very easily. Then all the theaters are upstairs, which is great, because it feels private and quiet and chill. One of the key points about this theater is that there are unusually wide rows, so the seats are nicely distributed from front to back. It felt more spacious than other AMC locations. Lastly, parking was a breeze. I think there's a lot less traffic here as the mall scene has declined over the past 10 years. I'm on the A-List, so I'll be back!

Both times, the staff was incredibly warm and kind, and both times my food was flavorful. I have had the bullet naan ($5) and the garlic naan. And both times I ordered a dish with paneer (I'm vegetarian, and love a good Indian dish with paneer). I will say, that the first time I was here, I ordered a glass of wine, and knew IMMEDIATELY as the wine was set down in front of me, that the wine was spoiled. The Pinto Grigio stank like an old Chardonnay and turned my stomach so badly after just one sip, I had to take my food to go and finished it the next day. I have also noticed that the water carafes and glasses were kind of dirty the two times that I was in here, and that's a huge turnoff for me when dining in a restaurant (hence the 4 stars, not 5). I highly recommend Tandoor for the food and service, just skip alcoholic beverages, and maybe don't drink the water...?
