    Perfect for date nights either solo or accompanied. Cute ambiance and comfy seats that have an attached tray for all your snacks or meals. Chill vibes and friendly staff all around. The theater is located in a shopping strip with other restaurants and shops so parking can be tedious, but not impossible, just be patient. I attended a special event which included a special viewing and dinner that consisted of a 3 course meal prepared by a guest chef.

    The Pruneyard Cinemas in Cedar room will stay open. They just sent me this email!

    Great news, the Pruneyard Cinemas, and Cedar room will stay open!! I definitely will be better about patronizing these businesses in the future. I blamed her all my life, and some of my earliest memories are attending the theater in Pruneyard. While I'm thrilled for myself, more importantly I'm ecstatic & relieved for the employees who depend on this for their livelihood.

    A mom and pop dinner theatre?! Say less. I wish this was closer to me since it was the perfect little theatre with delicious snacks and great service. Location is fab and central to anything and everything you need. Plenty of parking too in the morning! I went on a weekday to watch a matinée movie. I was the only one in the theatre. Snacks arrived about as quickly as they were ordered and the server brought an adequate amount of napkins (very important in a dark theatre where you can't see where you're spilling!!). All staff I encountered were warm and pleasant. Bathrooms were clean. And although the place was all carpet, it didn't have that awful movie theatre carpet smell. Much more enjoyable and a better bang for your buck imo compared to the big brand name theatre near me.

    First time here and took my teen daughter to see the new Wicked movie. Staff was super welcoming and explained how the system works for ordering food and drinks from our seats. I would suggest arriving before the movie starts to get situated as it was a little awkward trying to navigate the QR code and menu in the dark while trying to be considerate of other viewers. Food and drinks were fantastic! They forgot my salad but it was so good when it finally arrived that I won't even deduct a star for that. Can't wait to go back with the entire fam next time we are in the area.

    Went here for the first time because they had a more convenient movie time slot compared to the other theaters. This is such a local gem and a really pretty theater. I love the aesthetic and their lovely staff. You can order food from your phone and they'll bring it within 10-15 minutes which is a relief because Alamo takes a extremely long time. I just found out they might be closing soon which is extremely unfortunate because of how it's basically a piece of history. But I understand how with everything going on businesses need to close down sometimes. So if you have the chance go before they're gone! (I don't know exactly when)

    Always our go-to theater. The staff is always so nice. The facilities are always clean and up to par compared to other theaters in the area. They have complimentary water from a dispenser, which is nice. We loooove coming during dinner so we can make it a movie/dinner date night. Our favorite from the food menu is the Cinema Burger with the garlic parm fries OMG. We wanted to switch it up this time and got a hot dog and gp fries + a Caesar salad w/grilled chicken and a side of gp fries. Also can't watch a love w/o buttery popcorn and an icee! On this particular night, we went to see the new Freaky Friday movie and there was a huge group of 10-12 year old girls... you can only imagine how loud it was. I asked the server/staff to kindly increase the volume and while he looked surprised, he understood immediately LOL. Bonus points! Overall, we love Pruneyard Cinemas!

    Went and saw a movie here today around 11:15am and was surprised that the popcorn was cold and wasn't fresh. When they first opened years ago they had the best popcorn with real butter topping. The owners have changed and it's very noticeable that the quality of the food just isn't there. Now, they only have "butter flavored" topping. The menu for the food and cocktails isn't as good as it used to be either and very overpriced for low quality items. The seats were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Not sure I will be returning anytime soon.

    Pruneyard cinema is a dine-in theatre in the middle of pruneyard shopping mall. Overall it's just ok. The good: * they do have decent food. Better than most movie theaters. * the bathrooms are clean though the men's room is upstairs in a random hallway. * they have 6 minutes of trailers instead of the usual ~30 at century or amc. * the pretzel was decent * they have free water with legit size cups near the snack bar The bad: * the main area of the place smells like a tsunami of cleaner went through it. * the seats are kind of uncomfortable. * the tickets are kind of expensive $13 each at matinee. * the food is kind of expensive. * the kettle corn is awful. * the chicken wings were hot but way overcooked and dry. * the workers just seemed so unhappy to be there.

    Parking in the pruneyard in general is super hectic so definitely go early to endure you get to your movie on time. Theatre is super nice inside and the chairs are comfortable. You are able to scam a qr code to have food/drinks ordered and brought to your table during your movie which is amazing.

    What is the difference between "NEC Laser Projection" and "Sony 4K Presentation" showings?

    Hi Alex! Happy to help, NEC Laser is just newer technology and our newest projector. You may see both options listed for a film due to it playing in different showrooms but I can assure you, both are great options!

    How much is the total price for a Culinary Cinema movie and dinner event?

    Hi Jenni - Thank you for your question, the ticket price for Culinary Cinemas is $57.50 and there is a $1.75 service charge which brings the total to $59.25 for the movie and three course meal.

    Do the seats in the very back row recline?

    All the seats recline.

    What is the average price to rent out a movie theater and watch a new movie?

    Hi Kimberly, please reach out to events@pruneyardcinemas.com as the price varies by number of guests, day and time of movie, and a couple other factors.

    What is the current menu for this place, did they change it? I don't see tbe burgers listed on the menu online anymore?

    Do they still serve wine?

    Yes

    Is the air conditioning system filtered for Covid?

    Yes. Prior to re-opening in May we upgraded our MERV-8 filters to MERV-13 filters at the recommendation of CDC documentation against covid-19.

    Do they have heated seats?

    No, at least when I went.

    We were going to go tonight but, the showing only had 2 seats on at each end at the very top which the top would have been fine but really? How does that work, we asked the tickets person said we'd have to sit on opposite ends?

    Oh no. That doesn't sound like fun. The seats are reserved. I would say try to go in early and see if you can have the entire row move down a seat so there are two seats together, but I have found that people maybe very hesitant to move. Everyone… Read more

    Are they open Christmas Day 2018?

    Yes

    Are food/drink offered all day, or only during certain hours?

    All day, during business hours.

    How do you order food?

    When I went, there are menus at your reserved seat so you can decide what to order. I think the seats have a button to call a server (kind of like the steward button on a plane) and someone comes to take your order.

    Do they have any 3D showings?

    At this time, we do not have 3D showings.

    I've been frequenting this restaurant for about 3 years. I almost always have the same server,…read moreMiriam. She's outstanding and always helps me with my every-time request - make it spicy! It started with the barbacoa chilaquiles. When I saw that that the chilaquiles in the menu had habaneros on it, I knew I had found my place. I often cook at home with ghost and scorpion peppers, which are not traditionally found in restaurants, but they've done some pretty amazing improvisation when I've asked to make it work. One time, I recall getting the chilaquiles and asking for extra habaneros and asking if their chef had a secret hot sauce that was stronger than "white people spicy." Miriam brought me a little ramekin of a pepper sauce puree that the chef prepared - and it was EPIC. I don't ask for that every time, but you know whoever was on the line took the request seriously and actually had some fun making my mouth burn. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of their willingness to "play" in the kitchen. Today, I went for breakfast and ordered the Carne En Su Jugo for my first time. Not just here - first time ever eating it anywhere. I had totally forgotten to ask them to make it spicy! I asked Miriam if there was anything they could do to spice it up. She assured me they could. Then I received it. And I tasted it. And it was cathartic. The chefs prepared a PERFECTLY spicy stew, and I downed that whole thing in 7 minutes. It was delicious, put some sweat on my brow, and left me feeling more than satisfied with my meal. I love this place! Miriam is always great every time I've been there. I will continue supporting this business as long as they keep doing business. Please give me compliments to the chefs again. Their creativity keeps me coming back for spicy treats!

Bonus points for having fun seasonal choices. The kids menu has good options but it is kinda pricey for being the kids menu. Bonus points because they use handmade tortillas for the kids taco. They also offer unique things like a breakfast molcajete and a mini birria pambazo. We didn't try those but it sounded intriguing. Also so many drink choices if you're looking for a michelada or mimosa. Cute vibes inside & love the plates and ceramics they use. It is small though so wouldn't really accommodate a large group easily, especially if it's busy. There is parking but even though it wasn't busy it was hard to find a spot. All that said, it was a very mid experience. The meat for the kids birria and the chilaquiles was more on the dry side. Same for the rice. The Grinch milkshake was good and cute. The tamarindo mimosa was good after we asked for extra tamarindo. Initially it was very heavy on the champagne. The country potatoes were yummy. The gingerbread pancakes were also dry & didn't taste like gingerbread. Also was sad that they were out of the advertised Holiday drinks: chocolate abuelita and atole de mazapán. I ordered the hot chocolate in its place but even though it looked cute, it tasted watery. I came here specifically for the Holiday items so that's why I was so disappointed with that. Service was okay. Our server was friendly when we interacted with her but it was very limited. Pretty much when she took our order & then when I flagged her down to return my pancakes & hot chocolate. She was very understanding though about that so I appreciated that. Overall, if they made adjustments to their flavor & quality it could be really good. From this visit I would say their Mexican food is better than their American food. I'd try again in the future, just not any time soon.

However, for $200+ per person, I was disappointed in the food, seating and limited types of acrobatics in the show. The dinner seating was very very cramped, not how it looked to me on the seating chart. (The general admission seating with no dinner looked more comfortable!) I could barely get into my chair between the two people next to me. The chairs were tall hardwood barstools with no back, which were very uncomfortable. The beef and polenta dinner tasted like dog food out of a can! I could not eat it, although some people did. The dessert was served in a stale ice cream cone. Only water was included with the expensive meal; drinks were extra and expensive. The circus consisted mostly of Ariel acrobatics, risqué costumes, some nudity, and a little bit of dramatic story telling in between. As I said, the band was excellent, although the vocals could have been more prominent in the sound mix. Sorry, I really wanted to support this kind of live theater and they did make a good effort, but it was too expensive and it just fell short.

He was super patient and willing to hop on a call to discuss my vision, as well as provide suggestions on how to make it even better. He also invited me out to watch a show prior to booking with him! When I met him in person, I was captivated by the acts and how approachable Andrew was. He's so friendly and just easy to talk to. He also puts on a great show. I was entertained the whole time and there wasn't a dull moment. His theater is cozy, but thoughtfully decorated. I also like how the front part is a candy shop and there's a "hidden" door leading to the actual performance area. The venue is also BYOB. We started planning the surprise party many, many months in advance and Andrew was great at communicating and keeping me in the loop. He even helped coordinate the guests and got them into position while I was leading the guest of honor to the venue. In addition, Andrew offered to help oversee the catering orders, but I ended up deciding to handle that on my own (with the help of a couple friends). The big day finally came and went and my partner was delighted by all the tricks. Andrew graciously gifted us bags of candy and also supplied some additional snacks (chips and peanut m&ms).

My second visit was for Hocus Pocus, and it didn't live up to the first. The drinks tasted watered down, the food was mediocre, and the dessert was completely flavorless. My third experience was supposed to be The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it was canceled and I was given a code for a future film. I used that code for Beauty and the Beast and was so excited--only to receive another cancellation email.

It seems this is something that has been happening in different cities and if you don't believe me, look at all the negative reviews online. (Yelp, social media, TikTok). I did eventually reach out to my bank to dispute the charges and luckily they were able to assist me. Please save yourself the headache (and money) and use that instead to treat yourself to a nice dinner and a show somewhere else.
