    We always like going here the popcorn and the killer corn is always good and we like the fact that we can reserve our seats and it's close to our house. We always have a good experience here never have anything really bad to say.

    We love it here more food options would be nice my only ISSUE is why dose every theater smell like SMELLY ARMPITS like PLEASE spray something to get rid of the smell I understand you can't shampoo the seats often if allowed to at all but you definitely need to get rid of the SMELL is give 5 stars if it didn't smell like smelly armpit.

    Came here to see the Barbie movie today and it was great! The theatre was decorated Barbie theme instead which I thought was amazing. The theatre was clean too, no trash cans overflowing with trash. It's been awhile since I've been to a nice theatre so coming here was refreshening. :)

    Great movie from start to finish. Auditorium #7 has a great sound system too.

    Whenever I get back-to-back days off from work, I Indulge and go here to watch movies. I saw Top Gun : Maverick yesterday and Jurassic Park: Dominion on Monday. I must say Top Gun: Maverick was genuinely great. THIS IS WHAT CINEMATIC ENTERTAINMENT SHOULD BE!!! Definitely my second favorite movie of the year, The Batman being first. As for Jurassic Park: Dominion the story is kinda rushed. Lots of jumping to another story. At times it felt like a spy movie, then a marvel movie. At one point I was waiting for Dominic Toretto and his crew from the fast and the furious franchise to show up. Followed by Optimus prime and King Kong (haha) But overall, the story was quite intense and complex for the first 10 minutes. I'm telling you, it was so many places. Felt like I got three films for the price of one. As always this theater is awesome. Thank you!

    Waoo.. I really impressed how the theater & restroom were cleanliness, nice interior. Especially the seat is new & comfortable. The price for tickets movie & dood are reasonable. On sunday night my ticket was $10.75 , final prices for 2 tickets movie, 1 large popcorn, 1 garden salad come out $35. Salad is pretty good so in the middle of movie I bought 2 more , they have small bar inside the theater too.

    Usually, we see movies here in Santa Cruz whenever we're in town it's never crowded. I love the popcorn and the seating.

Cathy Bentley was the barista and she is also the very friendly and knowledgeable owner of their thriving business. They have excellent wines from prominent wineries in California. I liked the "Cheers" feel good vibe at the venue. They have big storefront windows and an outside patio. Yes, the dance floor and the patio are relatively small, so come early! I had a glass of the Hatcher, Murphys, 2022 Sauvignon Blanc. It was crisp, light to medium-body, and tasted fresh with a hint of almost green apples. As you can see on their menu they also serve craft beer and food. Something for everyone! So, on your next night out, come for the fun and enjoy the friendly atmosphere, live music, and your preference of beverage. Mine, obviously is white wine.

The best part is that they seem to have really cool regulars who are chill and welcoming. I love that vibe! Tips if you visit: - Check the website and go when there's a band. It's 'dead' when there isn't a band. - There's no entrance fee when there's a band. Yippee ki-yay! - Skip the wine flight. The pours are pretty meager. You'd get a better "bang for your buck" if you get a glass of wine that you know you'd like. - Be ready to be social (at least a little) because you may need to share a table when there's a band. - As for food, tots are tasty, but portions are tiny. - Pizzas are your best bet if you're hungry. - Skip the paninis. See photo. - Feel free to dance if the vibe takes you there! Cork and Fork is a fun place to check out.

We went with a sort of ruggedized shadow box style using glare-proof museum acrylic (that won't shatter like glass), and the end-result is beautiful and totally exceeded my expectations! Paul (who's such a nice guy and a pleasure to work with) listened carefully and then applied his creativity and skill to capture exactly the look I wanted...sort of rustic with an authentic Western feel. He chose the perfect colors and textures for the backing and frame to make the silver buckles really stand out. The craftsmanship is just exceptional, with each buckle perfectly aligned and very securely mounted (he put a lot of work into this), showing real precision, balance and a real sense of skill and pride. The overall result feels solid/sturdy and looks artful and clean. He even installed heavy-duty hardware so that I can mount it to my horse's stall. It was fun discussing the project with Paul. He wanted to understand the meaning and significance of of the pieces being framed up and the theme and look I wanted and he absolutely nailed it. The turnaround was quick, the quality amazing and the display looks like something out of a Western art gallery even though it'll hang right where it belongs, on the wall of my horse's stall!
