I wanted to surprise my fiance and her best friend with two tickets to a paint and sip session…read more Over the course of a week I sent a message on TTP's website, two Facebook messages, and two text messages asking to pay and register for the session and received no response. Finally after over a week, I get an reply that the session may be cancelled due to limited sign-ups and I would be kept in the loop. A few days later, 4 days before the session and after I had to reach out again asking for an update, I was told that the session was cancelled due to lack of necessary sign-ups. Which I understand, it costs money to put these events on so you need to have a minimum number of sign-ups to make it worthwhile. But the lack of communication ahead of time was frustrating. I was luckily able to find another paint and sip for the same night through another company on short notice, but the whole experience left me with a negative impression of TTP. Better communication, and a method to purchase/register for sessions online, would help to reduce confusion and frustration when customers want to sign up.

It's run by a couple and they have been owning it and running it by themselves for years. One of my favorite features of this movie theater is they sell all of the movie posters that they get from the production companies. I have several that I got for six dollars each from Marvel Studios. They decorate this one hallway as well with dozens upon dozens of vintage cameras. I could spend hours just staring at them. Please make this part of your next visit. Even if you don't see a movie to step in and enjoy the shock and awe.

Old-timey movie theater with the original cameras and new posters lining the walls, it is such a great way to see a movie. They have all new showings that you can currently find in an AMC and show some movies with open-captions or 3D (check their website to see the times/type of movie). The staff is super friendly and they have lots of drinks, snacks, popcorn, and candy to choose from - they even offer popcorn to go if you're craving it! I absolutely love coming here and you should definitely plan to stop here on your trip/visit. They also sell large movie posters for $6 which is a STEAL and have so many films to choose from - I will definitely be back to grab some posters.

Had talked about going several times for Wednesday wing night. Made it in the first time only to…read morefind out that they were out of wings, this was early in the evening. Tip while there are hours posted for Wing/Trivia discounted wings are available starting at 4pm. Place gets crowded on Wednesdays and would recommend going early. Something we learned by our second visit when we scored a couple of baskets of wings in the main dining area. Wings were cooked well but oregano overpowered the garlic parm wings. What was concerning to me about this visit was wait staff was made aware of food allergy to Blue Cheese but yet Blue Cheese Dressing was brought out to table in two of the baskets of wings. Wings were meaty and juicy but did not feel comfortable eating any of the buffalo wings given dressing had spilled out on wings. Did have the opportunity the following day for lunch and have to say the summerhouse sandwich was really very good. Only issue overall between both visits is wait staff is stretched very thin and things like food allergies are not addressed because they are running ragged. Wait times for ordering and getting your check tend to be long and really felt bad for staff as they truly were trying their best to keep on top of everything. Beautiful building and setting and see why this venue is a popular wedding venue. Would definitely go back for lunch as it is a great place for a girl's lunch but would probably skip the craziness that is Wing and Trivia night
