Went to see Knives Out here with my 94 year old mother. She had never been in reclining seats, and they were so comfy, she promptly fell asleep! Thank you Bow Tie for being so comfortable in your chairs - my mom really enjoyed the chair (not so much the movie) but thats not your fault. I dont like having to pay to park here though! In Virginia and Massachusetts- they put theaters in big parking lots where people park FREE!! One pays enough for a movie ticket these days, so figure it out Connecticut and get like the other states!
I went to bow tie Cinema. 2 years ago. In the midst of me going to the cinema my daughter dropped our popcorn. And when I was trying to get fresh popcorn sadly to say it the exchange did not go well for my fresh pop corn. I ended up getting the same popcorn that was on the ground! I was highly upset and disappointed because I spent $23 that day? But there was a good ending . I was a satisfied customer in the end. The manager on duty. Unfortunately I dont know her name she figured out everything and I enjoy the rest of my evening.
So nice having an upgraded cinema to go to. They have gourmet food to munch on and amazing popcorn, But not only that you can have a cocktail while you watch the movie or order a glass of wine. I really think they did an amazing job on this place. The staff is very helpful and the service is outstanding.
I went to see the movie Harriet Tubman. The movie was great. The prices for the food was very reasonable for this Norwalk site. I was surprised to see they even serve alcohol. I recommend the Bow Tie beverage it was delicious.
I want to give a huge thank you to the staff. You guys rock! Always greeting people with a smile and when serving concessions you are quick and efficient. I recommend getting a criterion card, especially if you go to the movies a lot! It’s awesome how you gain points and the rewards can go from free tickets to free popcorn and more. I’ve tried the drinks at the bar before and price wise they are reasonable, very balanced drinks. The theatre is always clean and staff is always on top of messes. I highly recommend this theatre!
Reclining seats with meals trays at this location! I moved recently and really miss this theatre. Apparently its not a feature most new bowties have. Even if they have had renovations to the snack and bar areas theyre not all going to have the recliners which really bummed me out about the bowties where I live now.
Theater shows many of the newest movies. Screens and sound system and pretty modern but not the best around. Parking can sometimes be a hassle on summer weekends due to the vibrant nightlife that uses the same parking lot in the area. I would recommend seeing a movie here
The upgrade is fantastic and it was long overdue. However I do truly enjoy it. Best place
Bought a ticket for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for 3:30 pm. No A.C. in the theater #6. No warning notice. No warning from the tickets salesman. Very warm day here in CT. Very, very warm inside the theater.Good: ticket refundedBad: no sincerely with the customers.
Pretty slick and nice with the reclining seats. Very nice to watch a show that way. Havent had the food or booze, but Im guessing that would be enjoyable.I dont love reserving seats in advance, and you have to do so a while in advance, as there arent many seats per theater, so you wont get good seats unless its will in advance (like 2+ hours). I also didnt love the ~$4 service fee for the tickets, particularly as its the Bow Tie site that facilitates the tickets.
Clean. Quiet. No talkers or phones. Ppl are considerate.
Fantastic movie theater. I come here all the time to see movies. The food and drinks are great, the staff is great, and the theaters have great seating and youre able to order certain foods and have a staff member bring it to your seat.
Theater is decently nice and modern but has had sound issues on multiple occasions which really distracted from the movie. I saw a Quentin Tarantino movie premiere here where half the speakers werent working. My friend noticed it first and it was impossible to ignore how quiet the film was. I have had issues in multiple theaters here where the audio had issues, and each time we complained and the staff admitted there were issues. I go to the movies for a great surround sound experience. Its ironic when they play the Dolby sound ad all around you and half the speakers are busted.Other than that, there are reclining electric seats, food options that can be delivered to your seat, etc. Tuesdays are the best ($7 tickets at time of writing). Friendly great staff, full bar albeit a bit overpriced.
Good seats that recline and movie expireamce wasnt bad. But horrible food service. I ordered a few things they were supposed to bring from the kitchen and only recieved one of the 3 items.Kept getting told they will be coming soon and it never came!
Nice upgrades... All seats recline... Better food and nice bar options.
AMAZING!Awesome theater with high quality food and bar. One of the best burgers in town and pizza. Who knew? Get dinner drinks and a movie. All you need to do is bring a blanket and get cozy in the new chairs. Wonderful experience.
Good place and costumer service but there soda is trash and taste like carbonated water
It was a nice theatre. Liked the reclining seats and tables out in lobby to eat and drink while awaiting movie. Liked delivery of my foid in theatre and alcohol served as well.
Love this place I go three times a month. The food, drinks and staff is just awesome.
I went here to see a movie the movie was great I enjoyed myself
Love this place they serve food drinks and got the recliner seats
Awesome theater! Everyone is so friendly. The food menu has many options and each chair in the theater has a little table and reclines fully. Super comfortable. The location is easy to get to and always has a good selection of movies. They are newly renovated so everything inside is new and clean!
New renovations are nice, chairs are comfortable. Food is great. The manager Christie sucks, isn’t professional at all. She Is very rude and not helpful. Good luck with getting in touch with someone who can help.
Pretty luxurious seating takes the stress out of theaters.
I love this cinema because you get the comfy recliner lazy boy chairs. Kick your feet up with a push of a button, who wouldn’t want that while watching a movie! Don’t forget to order something to eat, it gets delivered to your seat!!
Great layout..comfy seats, lots of leg room. Food is overpriced for the quality offered. Great otherwise.
Easy parking, luxury power reclining seating, food delivered to your seat, a bar, good screen sizes and decent sound. Lots of theaters with multiple showings for featured films makes it easy to find availability. The reserve system is kind of annoying but if you plan out your ticket purchases in advance its nice to just show up last minute to your favorite seats. If the sound system was better it would be 5 stars.
Is so great there the manager is a great person glad we got to go there well return there again and again
Great seating. Service can be hit or miss.
This updated Bowtie Cinema is a good one. I enjoy their reclining seats and their increased menu options.The parking lot is a bit of a mixed bag. It is not free and the cinema only comps you if you are seeing a movie before 5 PM Monday-Friday. I really wish they would extend these hours, I would go there more often.Since the parking lot is shared it is also often overcrowded leading to difficulties in getting a spot. There have been occasions where I couldnt park at all and had to not see a movie altogether.
The movie theater was clean and comfortable the staff were friendly and organized an courteousThe movie was called CRAWL..excellent 5 stars on everything
I like the changes theyve made during the upgrade. The last time I was there I order margaritas and they werent bad. I usually go to the movies on Tuesdays as its cheaper than any other day. Movie are so expensive these days and wish they had a day where the food, candy and drinks was cheaper. I appreciate having the option of ordering online to avoid waiting in line.
My favorite local theater - great location, stadium seating with comfy recliners, tasty snacks, and a bar if you need it!
Nice movie theater, very good concessions place, no five stars because I have to pay for parking
Love the new renovations very clean and modern. Some of the staff need an attitude adjustment. The overall experience was a positive one.
My favorite movie theater. Super comfortable seats, and best popcorn. People who work there are very friendly!
I love it the food is great and the drinks are worth it.
This theatre is really nice. I love that they have the reclining seats and that they offer more food options than just candy and popcorn.I can use my movie pass to see movies at this theatre so it’s really helped bring down the price of the movie tickets since I’ve visited a few times this year. I make sure I use this theatre to see any big releases since the movie experience is such a pleasure.
Good convenient theater with free easy parking
I recently saw on July 20th 2019 At 140 showing of lion king the weekend after the release and the theater started the movie with the left speakers completely off. It bothered me but thought it would be immediately fixed, so I waited. It wasn’t until I went out after 20 minutes to talk to someone that anyone knew of a problem. I had someone come in and tell me the sound was on and that he didn’t hear a problem. The gentleman came to see the problem during the stampede scene and I was able to hear someone grabbing their popcorn a row in front of me. Needless to say after 20 or so minutes went by the sound kicked in, by that time I was so disappointed the rest of the movie was a let down . I brought up my poor experience in conversation with my brother who just went to the same theater to see the new Tarantino movie and said he had sound problems too so it’s not a one off time this has happened and wasn’t the first time this has happened to me either. My fiancé and I live up the street from this theater and from now on will be happy to travel to the theater on the other side of town where I have never had any issues.
Reclining seats, quality picture and sound, generally pleasant staff
I just got in loved with movies I anticipate to see.
Great Customer service from the second that we got in to the end. The gentleman at the food court was very outgoing, educated and fun!It was a problem with the sound system which they quickly took care of it.The only downside is the bathroom needs more attention.Great Staff, Nice Renovation and Comfortable seating.
My son has a sippy cup he drinks juice out of w his vitamins mixed in. He/I left it behind in the theater (3 kids, ok?!?) Today, I called and was informed yes in fact they found the bottle, but it will be confiscated because I brought it into the theater illegally. Umm seriously?? It’s a little metal bottle for a child. and we bought 2 large popcorns. Spider-Man was good
Ive been coming here for 20 years and recently this place has has made a turn for the worse. I went to see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood PREMIERE and they only had 2 working speakers out of maybe 10. I had to leave and ask them to fix it twice and it never was fully fixed. They told me Oh, theater 7? Yeah we have had amplifier problems for a while now. Then why would you have the theater open LET ALONE FOR A PREMIERE! Would you sell a car with only one wheel? No, so dont show a movie with only 2 working speakers. I talked to my brother who saw Lion King there the week earlier in a separate theater (#2) and had a similar problem. Then my friend just told me he saw Spiderman there in a different theater and the speakers were off and they turned the lights on before the end credits. This is 3 theaters out of their 7 that dont work perfectly. You have to pay for parking and the staff is nice but not helpful. Save your money and go to Westport ave, its a 5 minute drive and has free parking. I sent Bow Tie SONO an email an no response. My friend spoke to the manager and the manager said that they didnt and wouldnt turn the lights on for the credits. So she said my friend was lying and didnt offer to refund him. Take your money else where. And the screens are average at best. If this is the only theater you go to, do yourself a favor and see a movie at another theater and realize that the screen isnt supposed to be fuzzy and the audio shouldnt be so quiet that you hear your neighbor breathing. The grass IS greener on the other side.
Theater was good. Great seats and enough variety. Service was ok.
Comfy seats, great popcorn.
Its so beautiful there: the comfy seats with their individual tables, the snacks (I always get tater tots with cheese and bacon ), even the bathrooms (dont be afraid to go upstairs as you enter)! Its a perfect place to go there with family, friends, or your bf/gf (did all of that once this year)!
Great seats. Love the smaller theaters!
Small theatre but oh my the seats are first class. Recliner seating, with enough room for people to walk by, nice tray tables...this should be in all theatres. The staff where friendly and helpful. Really nice hangout seating to wait for your movie to start.
Theatre has a good selection of movies.
This location is the best. Very comfortable and barely ever packed. Service is great and the mix of ppl is too
Really nice cinema, comfortable seats and good customer service
Love this theatre! The seats are very comfortable, very clean place!
Great food, cold beer
This theater is usually great, however, we went the second week of July 2018 and left after receiving a refund. Theater #6 smells like mold. They apparently took in water after the June 28th rain storms. We heard theater 5 also smells like mold. They need to correct this right away before it takes over .
Excellent service! Manager (Rodrigo) and staff (Kristie) were very nice, made sure we were fine as we waited to go into our movie. Will definitely be returning here for future movies. 5 stars!
It was okay the movie Jumanji wasnt as good as I expected it was a plain story board not as much action .
Larry the manager was extremely helpful!! I bought the wrong tickets- he swapped them- then we had an extra hour before the movie started - he offered to give us fresh popcorn when we returned.The new seats are AMAZING!!Love it!!
The new theatres look great!!!!! The chairs are the best feature. The classic showings they offer from Jan-Aug are Amazing!!!
The ability to choose your seats is something that I didnt realize movie-going needed. The seats all recline and make you feel as comfortable as you would in your own living room.
The seating here is so comfy, Id come just to nap, who cares whats playing! Haha, but seriously, very nicely redone. And they have a bar!!
I went to go see the movie the nun last night at 10 pm showing. i have not been to the theatre since they made the changes and was excited to have dinner while watching a movie in a full reclining chair. I went to the movies straight from work and ordered $34 worth of food the employees told me that they would bring me my food and scanned my seat ticket. Movie started and an hour passed and i still had not received my food so i got up to go see what was going on. After trying to find an employee for 20 minutes because there was no one working behind the counter and having to end up asking an employee who looked like he was off the clock i was told that they brought my food to the wrong theatre and that the kitchen was closed down and that i had 2 options come back tonmorow for a refund or receive 3 movie tickets as compensation. Since the employees were kids and the manager was buried in his office who failed to come out twice while i was trying to find out what was going on i just took the tickets and didn’t say much more. whoever reads these reviews should be ashamed of themselves to leave kids running these theatre with no prior customer service experience. the fact that i was act to come back the next day to receive a refund and the other fact that i had to miss half the movie trying to find a working employee completely ruined my movie experience. i will not be back and will be giving away the 3 free tickets i received. you can spend all the money in the world to renovate a business but without proper training of the employees and without proper staffing you just lose a custmer. thank you for ruining my movie night out shame on you.
Staff was moving a bit slow but was otherwise friendly. Theater is really nice!
Love the upgraded theaters. Parking can get tricky for new comers.
Loved pre-ordering tickets with assigned seating, was really helpful when going to see a movie with a group of friends on opening weekend. Electric reclining seats are really comfy with lots of leg space and a tray table. Theater was clean and updated. All around awesome experience!
Well everything is great the seats, the food but the menu said candy 2:50 to 4:50 when I asked they said they didn’t have that
This was a horrible experience. We went to see Halloween that was planned for two weeks..the original! There were obnoxious loud kids that were underage for the movie and the management warned them a few times with other movie goers complaints but did nothing. I would not recommend if you really want to enjoy a movie on Friday night . I would guve zero stars but it wont let me
Its a great place. Clean and have automatic reclining leather seats. And they bring your food to you... loved it
I love you guys, you are phenomenal especially the service by a young man who is Parrish.
I came here with my boyfriend and found it to be a typical theater. The prices were about the same, but they did have a bar which was nice with reasonable drink prices (not what youd imagine with theater prices). There is all assigned seating however in this place so you need to buy tickets early if it is a new release.
I really like it,very nice clean friendly staff,I was amazed that they have a bar,n a real food there,I will b going back there,
Excellent !!!!!! They brought me my food just when the previews started. And I was able to grey my DRINK ON !!!!!!
Amazing time amazing place
Very modern theater- automated ticket purchase, quick service at the concession stand and full bar. Easy parking and friendly service. Will definitely recommend to friends!
Enjoyed the new renovations thus far! The seats are comfortable. They recline and are plush! Had a problem with stale popcorn, but they gave me a full refund. Cant wait to see the completed renovations!
Cust service at this location is sub part. One would think not much that can go wrong at the movies... Yet somehow still dissatisfied. Ordered food, cashier claimed food would be delivered to my seat as part of their new service. Paid for food and went to go sit down. Never got my food. At the end of the movie I went to find out what happened with my food, manager refused to give me a refund even though they messed up. Manager offered me a pizza coupon for my trouble, except I had paid way more for food I had never received. From now on I will go out of my way to give my business elsewhere.
Right across the street from my house! First class theatre!!!
The Regent 8 Theater has really stepped up their game!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pros: New Assigned seating makes sure seating is possible. New soft reclined seating with small tables, and new looking material can be seen through-out the theater too.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cons: The Ticket area is a little too small; lines sometimes go through the door if full. The beverages area is a little too small too. BUT, I believe this is only a temporary issue; Due to construction. However, my only issue is the terrible sound quality of The Theater Room 2. = Should be Fixed.
Reclining seats with legs rests. Full food menu with delivery to your seat. Full bar.
Clean .comfortable seats.great lighting and sound .Had a great time seeing The Upside.
This place is amazing!
I live in New York this movie theather was a whole new experience for me. From the service to the cleanliness. Seats are very comfy. The selection of things to eat and the variety of popcorn was superb. When I visit Norwalk again I will definitely be back.
Worst customer service ever. If you enjoy spending lots of money to be treated like dirt--go here.
Parking was convenient and the staff were helpful and the theater itself was clean and popcorn fresh. Comfortable seats and relaxing atmosphere
So much fun to go to this beautifully renovated theater. Seats are so comfortable. Love the fact that they have a full menu. This is the way to watch a movie!
Everybody was very pleasant
We definitely like the lounge-y seats.
Great seats that recline. Nice people checking you into the movies.
Amazing staff, beautiful premises.
Its being renovated as of now. Its a really good theater with reserved seating. The seats are really nice and plush, which can recline with leg support. The screen quality is really good.
The seats were reclining with foot rest which went up all the way with a nice table with cup holders. Amazing and could not believe such facilities existed from the outside.
Blurry and bad quality do not recommend
Very nice theater except for the parking ticket I found when I got out of the movie with my grandkids. I was told where I parked was fine and just put my name and license plate on sheet at movie theater. I did exactly as told and had ticket when returning to car. Had to go to Norwalk Parking Authority to take care of it which wasnt easy if not paid it would be $25.00,, no parking there either. Must say the lady there was very nice! ( but not exactly in my plans for the day) . Needless to say they waved the ticket and I would recommend the theater just get the parking correct .
I think anyone can enjoy the reclining seats?
Love the new improvements but they should definitely put more Spanish movies like that new one ya veremos for multi-cultured familys
A great theater with movie snacks and even a restaurant.
Great theater. Clean, updated, friendly staff and discount prices on Tuesday’s. This is our go-to theater! Highly recommend.
