    Small, quaint, and clean. Service was good and the seats were recliners and very comfortable. I think I've found my go-to move theater in the area!

    I haven't been to a theatre in years. That being said our old little theater here in Martinez has still got it! 5 dollar TUESDAY! We wanted to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy in 3D. Online you purchase your tickets and get this - pick your seat! This blew my mind but like I said haven't been to the movies in a while! The 3D was actually 8$. The also have a D box section. I had to look it up, had no idea what that was. Fancy. Not 5 dollars. The seats are comfy recliners and plenty of room to go pee with out disturbing people. We bought sodas, 13 dollars for 2 but you can refill them and they have those cool soda machines. We may make this Tuesday movie a thing when there are movies worth not waiting to watch on my couch. Like a date night! ;)

    I like this small clean movie theater. The ticket booth is in the front once you open the door. The concession stand is in the middle with popcorn, chips and cheese, pretzel bites, candy, ice cream, icees, and a self serve soda machine with many drink options. The seats are clean and they recline. The bathrooms are small.

    This place is absolutely disgusting

    Literally everything. The prices are cool on a Tuesday, but that's the only reason for going on Tuesday. I would not pay to go to this disgusting place I mean seriously it's local to me but look how nasty it is. Who is the management around here because they're clearly not doing their job. It's disgusting.

    Why isn't the air conditioning on? You go to the movies on a hot summer day to escape the heat, not suffer in a stuffy ass movie theater.

    This is one of the coolest car-related things I've ever done…read more The Cobra Experience (which is a non-profit) periodically has an event called "What's That Third Pedal For?" This event which happens bi-monthly provides an eclectic group of cars with a variety of transmissions to learn on. I had not driven a manual transmission car for at least 9 years (when I had parked a vintage Porsche 911 during a previous job - BOY that had a heavy clutch) and for $30.50 ($15.50 if you're between 15-20), this was an absolute no brainer! The cars provided today were a Nissan Pathfinder Northwest Edition, 2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z51 package, 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350 289 HiPo, and a Superformance Shelby Cobra reproduction - not just any reproduction but the one that was used on-screen in Ford Vs. Ferrari(!!!). The course is designed to have participants get the chance to drive each car around a designated area surrounding the museum for 2 laps after receiving an initial ride-along lap with the instructor beforehand and parking in the designated 'pit' area to swap seats. This included multiple stop/starts to practice clutch release, upshifting and downshifting. All the cars appeared to be well-cared for and the instructors were super patient and helpful. My goal for this was to see if I could get through it without stalling. Not only did I manage this goal even with the GT350 and Cobra having no power brakes/power steering and super-heavy clutches, but all 4 instructors gave me high marks. What an absolute treat, and on top of that they gave each participant schwag bags filled to the brim and even a poster! WOW! I highly recommend this event alone as if you are looking to practice stick-shift. It's a fantastic way to do so in a safe, controlled environment as well as potentially drive special cars as a bonus for a very reasonable price. I'll definitely go back to the museum soon for a visit. Thank you to everyone the Cobra Experience, this was AWESOME!

    This review is long overdue. My husband and I went back and forth multiple times about whether or…read morenot to post a review, but we ultimately decided that we wish we had known what our experience would be like prior to booking Jessica as our DJ. We got married in the summer of 2023 and below is an account of the things we noticed. When we reached out to Jessica following the wedding and reception, we initially received a response which included a rebuttal to each of our observations, but when we followed up with two more emails about how we were open to rectifying the situation, there was no response. 1. The incorrect song was played for the bridal processional. We are willing to take partial credit for this mistake, as Jessica has a clause in her contract which states that all music must be available on iTunes. While we mistakenly assumed that the version of our song was on iTunes, we don't understand why Jessica didn't tell us beforehand that she had trouble finding the version. We would have sent an mp3 to her right away. Instead, she played a different version of the song and as a result, the part that we told her to fade into did not line up with our version and the fade in was awkward. The mishap started things off differently than we had expected. It impacted me (bride) on a personal level because of the emotional aspect of finding the "perfect" processional song. 2. Our first dance song was cut in half unexpectedly. We double checked that the questionnaire we filled out for her indicated that we wanted it to fade out at 1:52. Instead, the song faded about a minute in. We were very confused (as guests could see on our faces) and were disappointed because we had practiced a lot for our dance. She responded by stating that we gave her a "look" to express that we had stage fright and she faded out early. Neither I nor my husband looked at her during our dance. We also never discussed a "look" with Jessica, so we were even more perplexed when she brought that up. We were smiling, looking at one another, and having a great time until the confusion came. 3. Much of the music from our playlist(s) was not played. As in, almost none of the music played was from our playlist(s). We indicated specific "vibes" that we wanted in our music and that wasn't followed. We don't remember hearing most of the music we indicated for cocktail hour or dinner and neither did our guests. We think we heard a couple of songs for open dancing, but just a few. She responded by stating that we might be surprised about songs we simply missed because we were away at photos and whatnot. We asked her to send us a list or screenshot of the playlist to confirm, but did not receive a response. 4. We spoke with her over the phone about her playing the role of "emcee" in addition to DJing. We hoped that meant she would take initiative to check in with us about making announcements, hyping the crowd, etc. From our perspective, she did not present with the energy level we were hoping to see. This may have been a personal preference on our part, but her presence as a DJ was more on the passive side as compared to every other wedding we have attended. Ultimately, we would have gone in a different direction if we could go back. We are not the type to leave a less than stellar review for a service, but we feel that it's important to have the things that we regretted laid out as objectively as possible.

He tag teamed with our photographer and adapted to any last minute changes and requests. We got our video back in a timely manner and it brought tears to both my husband and I. He even did sneak peaks/teasers on Instagram which only brought us more excitement and love for his talent and work. We now watch it every anniversary as a tradition and will continue to carry this with our family every year. He exceeded our expectations beyond words and we are very proud and happy with his work.

We weren't expecting to buy anything since we were in the middle of shopping for vegetables, but we were pleasantly mistaken. We saw one particular painting hanging on the wall and knew that it would be perfect for a big empty wall in our house - we've been passively looking for some art to hang there for months, and this piece spoke to us! For an original piece on canvas, the price was very reasonable. The artist is Mimi Wirth - a woman local to Martinez which makes the painting even cooler. The painting itself was quite large but we managed to fit it in our 2 door Honda with some interesting maneuvering, and after even more clever choices involving a ladder on a staircase, it's now on our wall. OSHA would not be pleased by any of those choices, but we are very happy with the painting and will be back to peruse this gallery regularly!

My review has to do with the interactions, or lack thereof, of the artists who staff this gallery. I walk in here frequently, as I regularly shop the farmers market on Sundays and this gallery is right next to it. The staff here tend to interact in a friendlier manner with the older, white patrons. This is not a one-time occurrence but a regular thing, so regular in fact that my 12-year old commented on it. Perhaps it's because they think we're not going to purchase anything, but it is a major turnoff. I also think they could add some diversity to the list of artists who display their work here. This won't stop me from frequenting this gallery when I'm in the area, but something to keep in mind if you've never been here before or are not familiar with the area.
