We came back to the location to watch another Netflix movie on December 14th, 2025 around 6pm to watch Carry-on. It was a good and intense movie to watch there. It is truly a beautiful theater to watch a movie and just take in how clean it is plus the comfortable seats. The only issue we ran into is that the call button on the seats do not work. The staff is not notified that you are requesting their attention. They also did not provide the correct order when we order tater tots and received french fries instead. We did get the matter taken care of after our movie by one the gentleman there who was really cool and professional about the entire situation. I'm thankful that the Bay Theater is still there regarding the wildfires and hopefully will be able to visit again. read more

Free advanced screening date with chica, like always. This time my first time in a fancy dine-in movie theatre. We didn't purchase ticket because it was free but we spent money on food instead, delivered to our seat. The seat wasn't as comfortable as AMC's or Cinemark's despite having 3 buttons Some acting study girl next to me was talking to a stranger of how she didn't think this was open to the public. She got ticket from her professor. I didn't wanna be rude and tell her that I go all the time Parking is validated but we never knew where the garage is, so we parked on the street (metered for 2 hours) read more

The most comfortable seating, oddly larger than average movie screen. I was very impressed yet disappointed I had never been here and had lived in LA for such a long time. Perfect date night option when in the area. I'm glad I didn't eat here however people just didn't seem happy and chose one of the dining options in the area. I did notice the prices for Movie snacks and drinks were about the same as AMC. I'll be back, if I lived closer I'd prefer the Bay Theater over AMC any day. There is however a AMC I want to check out in MDR with dining experience. Still in quest for the best. read more

Happened upon this theater while eating nearby, have to say I had an amazing experience with very friendly and helpful staff and the comfort/theater condition is unmatched. It was very affordable and they validate parking. So cool that it's operated by Netflix and I get to watch their movies on the big screen! I will be back for multiple future movies. Great place! read more

It's like flying business class. The size and the comfort of the seats are just like those of business class of international flights. The food was much better than I thought. I had the ultimate burger with a side of house salad. The burger was juicy and flavorful served piping hot. I could have used a bit more sauce, though. The portion size could be a bit bigger but it's acceptable because it's a movie theater. To my surprise, the prices of the entées were much more reasonable than I had anticipated. The ultimate burger (cheese and bacon) served with a side was only $18. What made me laugh was the prices of their snack (see my photo for the menu). Just to give you an idea, $6.40 for a Kit Kat bar, $6.90 for a bag of skittles! It's a new and fancy facility, but in terms of the comfort level of the seats, it's roughly the same as AMC Santa Monica 7. It's nice to be able to have dinner with drinks while watching movies though. Something I would change is the employee training. All the servers were friendly but I thought they were too casual to create the luxurious atmosphere I believe they are aiming at. Anyway, if you're willing to splurge, I'm sure you'll enjoy the comfort. read more

This is the place you go if you want to indulge. You don't come here if you wanna see a movie every week or even twice a week. At $27 a pop for an adult ticket it is quite pricey. No wonder their clientele is celebrities and rich folk (that's what our server said). I came here on a Tuesday in November and saw Ralph Breaks the Internet. We were the only 2 in the whole entire theater. It was nice because we got to sit wherever we wanted. LOL We kept joking around about saying that this is how the rich live in their private theaters. We could talk to each other since no one else was there. Normally I would never do that. LOL The seats are comfy and white leather. (I hope faux leather. I love animals!) We were there early but the commercials that were showing already indicated what kind of crowd that they cater to - elevator installation in your home, Prada ad, Burberry ad, etc. On to the food - entrees start at $12.95. Appetizers start at $8.95. Luckily our server said that we were allowed to order from the kids menu (starting at $7.95) when my friend asked. LOL He got the sliders for $10.95 - comes with two and choice of apples with caramel, skinny fries, or fruit (+1.25). He chose skinny fries. As for me, I got the pizza ($11.95) and truffle fries for $10.95. I wanted to order just a side of fries but you are not allowed order a side unless you order an entree. Boo! I know...sucks. Over all the experience was a pleasant one. Our server was very polite and sweet. I'd definitely come back, but on someone else's dime. LOL Ok, ok, ok...I'll give you $13.50 for my ticket. :) Again, it's nice to be catered to. Also, parking isn't free (even after the validation) if you park in the structure. Street parking was practically impossible to find but good luck if you do get it. The area was decorated so pretty for the holidays. This is definitely a date place idea too. So, fellas...if you wanna impress me, I'm single and ready to mingle. J/K I'm not a gold digger! If the date goes south, we can go Dutch. LOL read more

I saw a really good movie here last night and I had a fantastic time! The popcorn was delicious. The service is phenomenal.

We drove 40 minutes to watch a film here and were extremely disappointed with their service. We showed up 5 mins before film started and placed our order at the front desk because we were told the call buttons in the theater don't work. A bit disappointing but no big deal, we understood. We decided to just order popcorn and were told they would bring it to us in the theater. Great! We made our way to the theater and 15 mins later, still no popcorn. Did they forget my order? Um, it took them another 20 minutes to finally bring it to us! Popcorn was not warm and it did not taste fresh. So glad we didn't order anything else. We decided to just focus on enjoying the rest of our film, which was amazing! Too bad the customer service experience was not up to par :/ read more

UPDATE: They now have some discounts (finally) for the first show of the day on weekends and shows during the week. $15.00 for adults which beats the $27.00 regular price by far. Still not a fan of eating a meal during a movie (or being disturbed by others ordering) but the 5 minute walk from my house is nice. Seats recline and are a bit firmer than the ones at AMC but still relaxing. Small theaters but the sound was top notch during the "Bruce Movie" Blinded by the Light which was EXCELLENT. read more

Had a really bad experience here last night. We showed up and there wasn't even anyone checking tickets, we stood there confused for a minute then just walked into our theater. We sat down and pressed the service button and the wait staff kept walking right past us but never stopped to take our order. 25 mins into the movie we walked out to the lobby to ask why no one is taking our order. The manager said that the service buttons are broken and we have to place our order out in the lobby BUT the kitchen and bar have just closed so it was too late. At no point did anyone give us a heads up about the button being broken or the kitchen closing. We went there intending to order a full dinner and enjoy a couple drinks. At this point we decided we were going to leave because we missed a significant portion of the movie just looking for someone to help us. They did kindly give us a refund and I'm not particularly blaming any staff members specifically but it was a complete disorganized mess. Very disappointed. read more

Only shows Netflix movies. The bar lounge area use to be inviting if you just wanted to relax and not watch a movie but they decided to get rid of that. The staff is not very informative, especially if you have never been there before. The seating is very intimate and nice. Again, the front staff needs to remind guests that if they need anything, like even a refill, that they can press the request service button on their recliner. read more

Wish i found this sooner! They play only Netflix movies which gives you a great opportunity to see some gems on the big screen. Great chairs. But the standout...the FOOD! Omg. I was shocked. It was restaurant quality. I can't wait to find another reason to go! The only odd thing is that there's no one to take your ticket. It causes some confusion when you enter read more

I absolutely love this movie theater and it's such a fun experience. We were greeted kindly and shown our seats promptly. Everyone was friendly and smiles and helpful. I tried couple samples of beers before buying. The beer was exceptional and so crisp we ended up ordering 4. The mango cart was fresh and crisp straight from a keg and you can tell. The food was so good, I had the cheese platter and tapas plate. Food we had the brioche with goat cheese and shrimp. The sandwich was Super fresh and seasoned perfect. Demolished it This Carmel popcorn arrived warm and brought special by the super nice manager Manny. He came in mid movie to serve us and such a nice and personable guy. He helped make good choices on what to eat/drink. Seating was super comfortable and smelled like new car. Thank you for validating parking which makes the experience much better! Can't wait to come back read more

First time at the new Bay Theater. Used to go to the old one (now a hardware store) all the time. This new one is absolutely great!! Full bar and menu, about half the price of places like IPIC. The people there are super welcoming!! This will be our go to theater from now on!! read more

As a treat, I took myself on a date to see Once Upon A Time in Hollywood at this great theatre. I loved the whole experience from walking up to the Bay Cinepolis Luxury Cinema and seeing the beautiful lights to being greeted at the bar by Latasha. She was so friendly and warm and made me my first Aperol Spritz at the movies. It was delicious and the perfect companion on my movie date. My seat was comfortable, customizable and the food and beverage service was wonderful. I'll make sure to be a back, thanks for the great experience! read more

Yes, its expensive. Its prime real estate in the palisades and a really nice theater. You get what you pay for. The complaining blows me away. The theater is beautiful, the seats are amazing and each theater is small and intimate. Food they are definitely still working on as its a bit iffy. Drinks are great and the overall experience is incredible. It doesn't hurt i live within walking distance and I am so thrilled to have a theater in the Palisades. For all you complaining...if you dont live here (which it looks like most of you dont!) go to your own theater! Leave ours alone! read more

I'll bite. If you want to know how changed Pacific Palisades is from now 30 somethings' time growing up there, just look at these ticket prices - $24.50 for a child and $27 for an adult to see a movie which doesn't include anything but the [admittidely nice] seat you sit in and the film. Don't support Cinépolis' greed. $24.50-$27 is unconscionable. They're obviously fleecing customers to make up for their high barrier to entry in the new development. And no, I don't care that you serve food and alcohol and bring it to my seat since none of that is included in the overpriced ticket price. None of my family will ever step foot in this place and you shouldn't either. Vote with your wallet and they'll bring down prices once they realize that while Palisadians may be wealthy, WE AREN'T STUPID. It's an insult to our intelligence. Tell Cinépolis - NO! I'm fully expecting a very nice response letting me know that all of the films and the overall experiences here are "curated" and that they have state of the art video and audio (soon to be outdated within 2 years) and... read more

By far! The nicest movie theatre I have ever been to. On the level of ipic. You can find free parking on the side streets after 8pm easily or at meters. read more

This movie theatre is the ultimate in comfort, style and wow the service. 5 star impeccable all the way. We brought the kids last night to see the avengers movie. Bloke and I stopped at the bar for a cocktail before and were warmly greeted by Chad. Chad made some great recommendations and made the best cocktail's ever. We absolutely loved him. The service inside the theater was also top notch and food is great. I like that they have healthy choices like ahi in addition to burgers and chicken fingers. The seats recline all the way back and are super comfy. The movie itself was great - lovely big screen. read more

Just dropped $140.00 for three movie tickets, stale popcorn, and the worst movie pour in the history of movie pours. Super elegant seating and lovely staff, but the cost is not worth it in any way. Rather go to our local AMC or ArcLight for half the cost and a better food experience. So bummed. Was hoping for a different first experience. read more

Friendly wait staff take your order in ultra nice brand new auditorium with beautiful finishes throughout. There is nice sofa as you enter, but the lobby generally disappointing compared to other cinepolis - even accounting for the limited space, the layout is awkward. Re food: They were out of many menu items after a busy weekend. I had Baja bowl which was relatively small portion of shredded chicken over overly salty rice. It was bland, and maybe partly bc it arrived lukewarm did not seem fresh, or taste like it was made there, and I probably would not order food here again. read more

Luxury price tag for a movie ticket, but the comfort and excellent service can't be beat. Food and bar are convenient, nothing super amazing about the menu or drinks , but makes for a fantastic movie night. They definitely cater to those of us who are willing to pay premium price tag for convenience and want a bit of luxury at the movies. I only catch a movie few times per year, and love the entire experience here. read more

Used to be my go to theater. Was super disappointed with the service the last time I was there. Theater wasn't properly cleaned. Bathrooms were a mess and smelled like marijuana. Meanwhile the service manager was more focused on my bringing my own water bottle into the theater, citing there is a very specific no outside food or drink policy. (The past ten movies I have seen here I have never had a problem with bringing a reusable bottle with clean water.) To me, this just feels like a negligence of appropriate service. I felt that there was no care or consideration to my request and it even felt like the manager was arguing with me. I'm sad to say that I will no longer be recommending this theater. read more

I love this theater!!!! Sometimes on Tuesday nights they do old classics - I took my honey to see Princes Bride, and tickets were $13. This place is nice and yes on the pricey side but the seats are roomy and comfortable, the screens are crisp and the sound is perfect. There aren't too many people in the theater even when sold out, which is a huge plus for me. (I get paranoid of getting sick from big groups in theaters) Their dine-in menu is great! read more

Wow!!! How much fun was THAT!? I just saw "Singing in the Rain"! This is one of my favorite movies and I got to watch in ON FILM. I had an amazing bartender named Tasha.

I was in the Palisades and had a spur of the moment to see Little Women. To my luck the movie was scheduled to start at 12:15pm and it was 12:16pm when I looked to see the current time. I called over Manny Medina to ask if the movie still had any available seats. From that point on Manny took over and helped me pay for my ticket, sort out my drink and walk me over to my movie. He was so helpful and lovely. Also, the seat he picked for me was one of the best in the house! I had a fabulous afternoon at the theater. Super comfy seats and really great employees. The place is lovely and I will for sure be back. read more

Finally, my wife and I checked this place to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on 35mm screen. The theater is nice and seats are comfortable for sure. But, for the price ($27), there are MUCH better options including IPIC Westwood ($32). Specifics: 1. Unlike IPIC where seats are configured as pairs or quads with some distance in between for privacy and facilitating easy access by staff (like commercial airplanes), the seats are all next to each other. So, if people next to you call staff for food and drinks, you'll get distracted too. Furthermore, the seats don't recline all away back as the ones in IPIC. No blankets are provided either! The seats are not much better than those in AMC theatres (like AMC in Santa Monica promenade that is close by). 2. Food quality isn't particularly good. My seared ahi tuna salad didn't have dressing, and the ahi tuna wasn't fresh for sure. I barely ate it. I honestly think the theatre, by itself, should be priced like AMC ($16) and charge extra for the food and drinks. read more

Quite an expensive ticket ($27 per person) but well worth it! Came here for the first time tonight to see The Joker. The area as well as the theatre itself looks like a movie set. Cinepolis is pretty small but it makes for a really relaxing viewing experience. No loud people or cell phones or sticky floors because the staff doesn't have to control a giant room. The chairs are decently comfy (the leg rest has a weird uncomfortable gap, but fine besides that) and the menu is surprisingly extensive. You use a little call button to alert your server to your seat which I thought was a cool feature. Had some really good hot tea and hogged my boyfriend's chai latte as well. Such friendly staff and chill atmosphere. Definitely want to come back soon! read more

I was so excited for this theater to open! We live close by and I LOVE an upscale dine-in movie theater. I was definitely disappointed by the "luxury" this theater provided. Sure the servers are very nice but they are also loud and distracting. And yes there is a very bright light at every table that is near blinding if you try to use it during the movie. But the real reason I disliked this experience so much was the food. The food is horrible. The menu is very weird and features probably some of the strangest things I've seen on a menu, shrimp with cheese, bacon, and strawberries on brioche...but why? I had a very hard time even finding something that sounded decent. I eventually settled on the ahi tower, I'm not sure why. I instantly regretted it. The rice seemed like it was refrigerated for a long time and then microwaved like when you heat up leftover Chinese food. I've since attempted to visit again and every time I am disappointed. My guess is they cheaped out when hiring someone to run the food and beverage program rather then attempt to create any semblance of a worthwhile experience. I guess I will just continue to drive to iPic, where they hired actually chef to create the menu and know how to satisfy their customer base. read more
