This is my favorite place for date night. The atmosphere is inviting and very comfortable. The staff has been there a long time and is very professional. They always work to serve timely and to accommodate your orders and needs. Their manager Kamesha is a top notch professional. She is kind, responsive and I have witnessed her always setting an example of excellence for her staff. This is the #1 place to see a movie in Tampa.

Me and my boyfriend went to see it chapter two. He loved it. I personally was not a fan but that’s ok. We had a great night overall and the custodian that gave us our popcorn was very friendly

21+. Very nice bar area, food and drinks served in theaters if you arrive 30 minutes before showtime. Love the atmosphere and service. An attendant even gives you chocolate mints as you exit the theater. It get really chilly in there so bring a throw or jacket.

Best Theater in TampaFor those that don’t know CMX is entirely owned by Mexican theater company, Cinemex. CMX is the brand they use in the states. The luxury theater concept was brought here from Mexico. Most probably didn’t know. A little taste of Mexican hospitality and service right here in Hyde park.️️

Ive been to this place numerous times B.C (before corvid) and I have always had a great experience great customer service and the food is always slamming! I love the fact it never seems to be to busy or crowd like most other places. Even during covid19 I have experienced the same great service. And the my favorite food Is the brisket tots and cheesecake

Received horrible service from the server. First we had to find a server and when we did we felt as if we were annoying him when we asked to place an order. He just walked away and didnt come back to ask if we needed anything. I asked for mayo and by the time I received it my food was cold. Our drinks were empty and never refilled until my husband went to the bar. We used to enjoy going to CineBistro. Not sure if we will return. Oh and not to mention it was our anniversary night out...he ruined it. Movie and sound were good

18% gratuity upfront, you can change it and that is before you get any service. I saw my host one time and then someone brought me food. Food was good, chairs not so good. Screen and sound was good. 3.8

I love this place! Full bar, comfortable seats, and great food. The popcorn was really good too with free refills. The only thing I wish they had were ottomans for all of the seats, not just for certain rows in certain theaters. I get why they cant, but I just wish there was a way they could figure that out.

Just caught Captain Marvel here. The food was great! Loved the brussel sprouts especially. Steak was cooked just right (ordered mine medium rare). Chairs were super comfy, and have a swivel table setup that doesnt get in the way of your armrest. Seats are reserved, so we got first row since our arrival was very last-minute. It actually was a pretty good viewing, despite that. Also, front row gets ottomans, which was nice. Wouldnt be opposed to doing it again.

Had a great experience watching Avengers End Game. The staff is very courteous and tries to go beyond the call of duty to help. Food was great and the popcorn was on point. Clean theater and lobby space. The loyalty program actually delivers! Thanks for an awesome experience.

First time visit. It says 21 and up. I really like that idea. The inside is nice, they have a bunch of tables and a full drinking menu, they also have a lot of food options. Staff was friendly. Theater and bathrooms were clean. The seats in the theater were a bit uncomfortable though. Plus side was it wasnt full of inconsiderate or ignorant people like in other surrounding cities. Parking is right across the street, but it can be packed.

Review №19

Im from Chicago so Im used to slightly steeper prices, but this was such a deal to me. A really great movie theater and a really great concept. Friendly staff. They have instructions/ads before the movie starts so you understand whats happening/how it works and to keep things running smoothly, which is nice in my opinion.

While it may be pricey to visit if you are on a budget, the experience is very nice. You get a leather seat with a tray and drink holder that is at a seat assigned to you. The staff are all super friendly and the food has never been bad. Having been here several times now, the experience has never wavered in the slightest so you can expect a good mo ie experience.

Great experience EVERYTIME we go. Staff is very friendly and professional. Couldnt ask for a better place to have a meal and enjoy a great movie with the one you love. They can get a little expensive but its worth it and its a great place to go on a date. The atmosphere is very grown and sexy!! Love it :)

As a restaurant: Service is great, food is great, presentation is great, but OMG is this place expensive. Worth it, but yeah be prepared to spend.As a theater: New releases, very few show times to accommodate in theater food service, and cleaning. This is consistently the cleanest theater I visit. The surround sound mix is good, but not Dolby Atmos good. The seats are comfy but dont recline.Overall this place is pretty great.

What a beautiful theater. Great bar area while you wait. The seats are large and very comfortable. They are also pairs so you dont have to be over close to the stranger next to you. The food and drinks are a little pricey but my burger was excellent. Great way to do dinner and a movie. Ill definitely be back!

Review №29

The first time I heard about Cinebistro, I didn’t think it would be that cool of a place given that movies are always fun, but they blew me away. Now that recliner seats are becoming the norm for movie theaters now, this was the first place I’d ever experienced a comfortable seating / dining experience.I always enjoy getting to the theater early so there’s plenty of time to get drinks and order your food before the last minute stragglers come in and have to weave through the foot traffic. The food here is excellent. They change the menu quite often and no matter what they offer, it’s incredible. The seats are also extremely comfortable. They’re bigger than the average seats and some of the higher levels have foot rests as well. This helps a lot since the seats don’t recline otherwise.We love to come here when there’s a new movie out and we want to have a nice date night. Dinner and a movie takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to Cinebistro.

I liked this theater. A friend took me there for movie and we enjoyed the comfortable seat and the nice food and drinks to enjoy during the movie. The theater is rather small so make sure you make plans ahead of time and can see your move when you want.

One if my favorite places to go. One of the first to do food and drinks with the movie. Classic place. Great staff. Good food.

Review №32

My date & I arrived & ordered a drink at the bar then went to our seats. We thought a waiter would come take our food order after we were seated, but that wasn’t the case. You order your food at the bar before you go to your seat inside your theater. We weren’t told that nor offered a menu when we ordered our drinks. By then time we figured it out, it was too late to order food. we were very disappointed. I feel like we should’ve been educated on how business is run here so we could get the full experience. maybe tell the guests at the ticket counter or when we were at the bar. The theater is nice & clean. Seats are very comfortable. It would’ve been a 5 star experience if we were told how to order before hand.

The food and movie were great, until the custodial workers or movie security flashed their very bright lights down the rows of movie watchers 2x during the movie. Kinda blew the whole “movie” mood off.

Review №35

This place was awesome. I love that it is for the older crowd. I love how elegant the whole place is, and how it is inserted in a nice part of town (from what I assessed). There is parking in the back (for those who havent yet been).I thought the food was going to be mediocre, but boy were my date and I surprised. I got the churrasco steak, which was so delightfully flavorful and tender. It paired so well with the, rice and beans, I believe it was? She got the Mahi tacos I believe; they were spicy, but good (I dont like spicy food, but she on the other hand, is a spicy food connoisseur).The mixed popcorn that was shared between us was amazing. I thought it was just going to be a few shrimp and calamari rings tossed in the bag, but there was more protein than there was popcorn!!!!!The drinks were almost mixed to perfection. Great job you guys, this is my place to catch a movie from now on. I wish the seats reclined more and werent separated by the gap, but have no worries though, the experience outweighed those small trifles. Thnx guys!

Review №37

Excellent experience and very relaxing atmosphere. The entry and whole facility was very clean and everyone was well dressed. The bartender in the lobby was energetic and informative in the drink selections. The waiter who assisted us before the movie was very kind, helpful, prompt and knowledgeable about the menu.I ordered the Ahi bowl and it was delicious, actually one of the best Ive had. There was a good balance of all tastes and textures with a pretty large portion of protein.Even though the night here will definitely run you $100 if not more for movie, drinks and dinner its absolutely worth the experience.Make sure to book front row for the additional leg rests.

Review №43

Awful experience. You would think that the people who run this place would be cognizant of the types of foods that they serve in small confines places- like movie theaters. I went last Sunday and the lady next to me ordered spicy wings with pickled vegetables. Yes, pickled vegetables. The smell was obnoxious and of course the lady pushed her tray over near me because it smelled so bad. Thank you. Anyway, what is next on the menu? Limburger cheese? How about durian? Seriously, for two tickets and average at best food it was $100. I will not be going back. I would rather go to AMC to sit in reclining seats and hit a nice restaurant after.

Review №44

Through the first 10 or 15 minutes of the movie (after previews were over) the worker clanked and scraped dishes on the metal cart just behind us. It was very distracting. Allow extra time for parking on a Friday night. Burger was good, but the swordfish was bland.

Professional service and tasty food! A little pricey but you get what you pay for; really good food!Only recommendation I have is that the food needs to be at a hotter temperature when it comes out.

Review №46

Theatre looks nice. Food is decent. Staff isnt the greatest. Manager wasnt helpful. Our movie stopped playing a few minutes in. Reluctant to give us a refund. Not very polite. Seems like they took regular movie theatre staff and put them in a more upscale environment than they are used to. Showed up early to the movie but still had to carry a tray of food to our seats. Again..not the best service. For $16 a burger they could at least bring it to you during the movie. Surprisingly, Studio Movie Grill somehow runs a better operation than this place.

Review №47

Great food, very comfortable recliner chairs... a great place to see a movie. The web site offers gift certificates, which I bought for a friend, but you can’t buy your tickets with the gift certificate! Very strange operation!!! The theater deserves another star, but it was very disappointing that the gift certificate - which they sell on their website - can’t be used to purchase tickets to the movies.

Review №58

Chairs are uncomfortable. Not the best system for ordering foods/drinks. Stopping service prior to the movie defeats the purpose for that I can just go to a theater with a bar and get my concession items/food prior to the show. Ive been to in dine in/bar service theaters before where they had a small light on/off option to quietly request service (and a checkbox menu). Also, tip automatically added is a bit insulting.

What are great experience! Drinks were so good, and the food was delicious! I had the house bistro burger and cheesecake, and my husband had some lobster appetizer and pasta with seafood, not sure exactly what the name is. Drinks were smoked bourbon, and a crown apple mule. Our attendant was super nice, and very helpful, which made our experience even better! The seats were comfy, and the theatre was very clean. What a great birthday for my husband!

Great atmosphere! Great food! Great value! This theatre is a little more expensive than others, but its well worth the $$. I think we spent around $87 for two (with gratuity)... We had food & alcohol - plus we saw The Avengers End Game. It was my birthday and we had an awesome time! It was worth every penny!

Review №64

This is by far the best movie theater I’ve been to. It’s not my regular stop. Small theaters make for an intimate group and solid cinematography makes the picture pop. The food is actually really good. It’s also reasonably priced all things considered. I probably go here once a month. There’s really no other movie theater like it.

Review №66

Im a big fan of Cinebistro. Been to this one and others in 3 different states where Ive lived and/or visited. These chairs dont have a leg/foot extension like all the others Ive visited. The food at Hyde Park is disappointing, so much so that I stopped going to the Hyde Park location for months. The salmon entree was ALWAYS bland...zero seasoning. I went 2/15/20 and ordered the lobster roll. It was horrible. It was literally a small serving of lobster on hard dry bread. I think the chef forgot to use the aioli or any other items listed on the menu for this sandwich. This is the closest movie theater to me so Ill end up here again, but I think Im done with ordering food. Hyde Parks Cinebistro location never lives up to the Cinebistro standard regarding food or seating in my book.

Love this place Ive been coming here for years, the only down side is they always take the best items off the menu like the crab cakes,the orange half chicken its not the price the quality of the food is lacking their getting to cute, the crowd is getting younger but their making the menu for the older crowds that use to come.Just open the menu up a bit like the one in Wesley chapel

Review №69

Ive been many times as this place shows films I like. The food is average and overpriced. Despite people talking and laughing throughout the film, we were approached by a manager and told very sternly to stop talking, when the only conversation I had was asking my boyfriend if he wanted another drink. The bouginess of South Tampa strikes again. I want to watch film, relax and have a few drinks and food that meets good standards. Unfortunately this didnt happen here tonight due to uninformed staff and and overcompensation for the higher end clients. Go somewhere else if you want a relaxed, comfortable and accepting environment.

We went for our Anniversary. Decided to take an early movie and literally had the whole theater to ourselves! Service was great. They had a young lady who I believe it was her first day and she did an amazing job. I wish there was another way to show our reservations in the system since we purchased our tickets ahead of time online. My phone was acting up and if I didnt have my phone at all we would be up the creek. But this place is still great and we will definitely be back.

Review №77

The movie and atmosphere was great. The associates are always professional. Ive been a customer of this specific CineBistro for years. However, one thing that I have noticed diminished over time is the food. The quality of healthier options on the menu along with different/ flexible menu options are down. A few things that are missing in action are the Crab cakes, Chefs Special Menu, and the creativity they use to have for special meal items tailored to the new movie release. It would be great see these things and different menu options return.

Excellent experience. The staff were great and so was the food. The screen was nice and the sound seemed to be calibrated perfectly. A great premium movie-going experience.

CineBistro is exactly where you want to be if you’re an adult who wants to enjoy upscale dinner and a movie. Their menu is very elevated, not what you expect from a movie theater (steak, ahi tuna salad, etc.). Everything I’ve ever ordered has been fresh and delicious with a healthy portion for a reasonable price. It’s a very fun experience and nice, clean, comfortable theaters. I really like that you can choose your own seats in advance. The only thing I would change is that I wish they would come take drink orders during the movie. I know they don’t want to interrupt while people are watching but I hate having to get up for another glass of wine!

Review №84

Really an outstanding way to see a movie. Theater sat 40 or so, big comfortable chairs with swing out table for dining. Food a drink orders are taken before movie starts, then not again in the theater (step out to the bar if you wantore during movie). This keeps distraction to an absolute zero. Food, especially for the price in a movie theater was excellent. Good bistro type menu.

After you try a dine in theater you won’t go back. Recliner seats in all theaters and the food is great. Prices are reasonable but definitely on the mid level. Great atmosphere and great attention to detail from the management. Only drawback is that some customers are not considerate while watching a movie but this is a problem quickly addressed if you require assistance.

Husband and I watched Black Klansman here. The theatre seats are very comfortable and set a little distance apart. They are in sets of two which means you don’t have to “cuddle” with any strangers here. We ordered several dishes. I was excited about this place because I had read so many reviews stating the food is delicious. Well, the food had good flavor BUT every one of our dishes came out cold. They had been sitting for quite some time before we got them. I would have given this place 5 stars. We paid over $50 for food. It just isn’t acceptable to pay that much for a meal and have it come out cold. I still recommend the place. I would just not advise ordering much or any of the food.

The food was great, the atmosphere was amazing, and staff were extremely polite. Only recommendation is an upgrade to the seats these do not have a reclining option, they just give you one small ottoman to share with your partner, the seating needs an upgrade. compared to how nice the place is the seats took away the 5th star.

Cool layout, dining room, fully stocked bar, or you can eat in the theatre. Servers were friendly, definitely over priced but it is a convenient / indulgent affair so I guess its worth it . FREE PARKING accross the street in the garage.
