The interactive element was wonderful with the experience. * The food buffet was good! Not gourmet, but definitely by no means poor quality! It was very enjoyable. * Bring cash for the bar and cash to tip the actors! Plan on going again when a new show comes out for a group birthday celebration. Highly recommend!

    SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE!! My first time at a murder mystery and didn't really know what to expect but…read moreI had sooo much fun!! 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.

    This place was a mess today. Plenty of people on staff but our movie did not start on time. We were…read moreexcited to see the new Spiderman today and night lunch next door. 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.

    We went to Le Petit Chef not really knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be such a fun…read moreexperience. The little animated chef running across the table and "preparing" each course was clever and genuinely entertaining -- especially watching Liam's reactions. But what surprised me most was the food. I expected the show to be the main attraction, but every course actually had its own personality and felt connected to the country it represented. We traveled through Spain, France, and Italy, then finished with dessert inspired by Japan. The flavors felt much more authentic than I expected from an experience like this, and the combination of storytelling, animation, music, and dinner made the whole evening feel completely different from a normal restaurant. Definitely one of those experiences that sounds a little gimmicky until you actually do it -- and then you realize how much fun it is. We had a great time.

    I had booked this experience about 2 to 3 months in advance. I am highly disappointed. As I…read moreinformed my seven year-old daughter for her birthday, I'll be taking her to a very interesting dinner date where we bought her a special dress just for the occasion and informed her that she would be seeing the world's smallest chef and animated experience. Unfortunately, five days prior to my reservation after having everything planned out, it was canceled due to having construction. You would think if you have construction in the future, you would not allow anybody to book and take deposits and plan a day around it. However, they were willing to try to accommodate me and later weeks, simply not good enough as her birthday is on that date. Nothing was offered as far as special accommodations. And our discount to a return. For a business to be running such an operation to have such a lack of hospitality when I had to reach out four different times through email and then call to get a refund on. My deposit is simply unacceptable. I will now be driving to Anahiem for a different experience as it's the only thing I could find on this date with availability. Needless to say, I highly doubt I will give La petite Chef another chance

I imagined these murder mystery dinners to be Sherlock Holmes-esque, dark and mysterious...but instead this was quite the opposite. We came here on a 80's theme 'Til death do us part' series and the setting was straight out of a cheesy, tacky 80's theme prom night and I loved every second of it. The actors are hilarious and quite talented as each would play more than one role. I laughed so much during the entire show. While I would have hated to be one of the chosen ones from the audience to participate in the show, it was really fun and funny to see audience participation. Everyone was a good sport about it and it made it that much more memorable. But, I'm so glad I was out of reach to be called upon. Service was great. Food was edible, but who's there for the food anyway. It was my birthday and they made sure to embarrass me by having everyone sing Happy Birthday to me. (thanks, guys - I hate you). The actors and actresses all put on a great show and allow you to take photos with them at the end. Overall, it was a really fun night and would definitely recommend it.

There's limited food/snack options and the drinks are a little pricey, but in all fairness, the prices are on par with other Theaters. If you have balcony seating, there are no elevators so you will have to take the stairs..which are quite numerous ....important to know if you have walking limitations.

We sat there for 2 hours with two women next to us eating chips that were sold to them inside the waiting area. I would say there were a good 10 people pretty pissed off trying to listen to things while they're listening to kettle chip bags being opened and closed and opened and closed and potato chips being chomped on. Was pretty terrible. As always with the Civic, the getting out of the theater is always terrible to try to get to the parking lot the elevators always packed and then you figure out the people are going up a flight of stairs and getting on to the elevator up above so you have no chance from being in ground level and getting on to them and then you get into the parking structure and finding your car and waiting to get out but just the initial getting out of the theater and having to walk up all the stairs to your parking level then the smell of urine throughout the stairwell is always lovely. I'm a native San Diegan and have been coming to the theater as long as I can remember and they need to have a new theater somewhere away from downtown to have events the downtown experience is terrible the homeless situation is terrible the urine situation is terrible it's time to move the Civic. And also don't allow people to bring food into the theater it's not a movie.
