The current Yelp! rating is not indicative of the service or experience here. It seems everyone…read morerating poorly are angry they weren't allowed to bring in outside food. Maybe because I went to a matinee on a weekday, I wasn't searched. But I also brought a very small, clear bag that showed I was only carrying the bare essentials. The ticket prices (I saw two movies) are the lowest I've seen, around 12 bucks. I realize they are more expensive for evening shows, but this is still beyond reasonable. The theaters are large and the recliners are comfy. They have stadium seating and some theaters have partitions. They have swivel tables for food. In the beginning of the show, if you order at the concession stand, they'll bring your food to you. I had a couple of their drinks (yes, you can have cocktails while you watch). They are sugary and nothing spectacular, but that's okay. It's a theater staffed by high school and college aged students, not cocktail connoisseurs. I was hungry between movies, so I had some of their cheese fries. Again, okay. The fries themselves were hot and well seasoned, but I could have done without all the nacho cheese and ranch dressing (I realize that's the appeal for some people). For a large plate of cheese fries and a double shot drink, I paid about 38 bucks. Honestly, that isn't crazy to me given what I ordered. They also have popcorn, pretzels (which is what I wanted, but they were unable to make them that day), hotdogs, pizza, burgers. They also have places to sit in the lobby as well as a small table you can park at to eat. Everyone on staff was super nice and helpful. Some of them were very conversational about the films playing. The auditoriums were clean, as were the bathrooms. I am pleased with my experience here and think this was just the first of many matinees in my future.

While we were looking forward to a relaxing night out, the auditorium wbas so uncomfortably cold that it completely ruined our experience.The extreme indoor temperature created two major issues during our visit Ruined Dining Experience: The draft was so severe that our entrees turned cold almost instantly. Instead of enjoying our meal, we felt rushed to eat before the food became completely unpalatable. Lack of Comfort: A movie theater should be a welcoming place to unwind. Instead, we needed heavy winter coats just to stay sitting down, making it impossible to relax and enjoy the film

I love this theater! The thing that sets it apart from other theaters is that it is very much like…read morean old-fashioned movie theater. It is in fact old. it is downtown on the main street in the old part of town. It still has a classy name like theaters had in the old days, complete with neon signage to that effect. For those of us of a certain age it's nostalgic, especially for those of us who grew up in a small town. Princeton has done a good job of preserving its bucolic small town charm, and the theater fits into that very well. I don't even live in Princeton, yet for me it's a taste of heaven when I can occasionally visit and walk the downtown and see a movie at the Capitol. And the refreshments are much more reasonably priced as compared to fancier theaters in bigger cities. I usually buy something even if I'm not that hungry, just to help support the theater. I'd never do that in some big-city multiplex! To be fair, there are some things that could stand improvement. The theater overall is in pretty good condition. But a few of the seats have seen their better days. I've always been pleased with the picture quality, but the sound needs some work. Some times it hasn't been as clear or as loud as I'd like it to be. Sometimes I've watched a movie and during quieter scenes I could overhear the sound of another movie that was having a loud scene ( and I tend to like movies that have many quiet scenes). But I can be patient until those flaws are remedied. That aren't many old theaters left nowadays, and especially in small towns. Princeton, you are fortunate to have this treasure. Support it.
