CinéBistro

First off, the menu sucks at this place. You can’t get a simple order without being charged extra. If you don’t eat meat, they don’t have an option for a turkey burger. If you don’t like spicy chicken sandwiches, well you’re screwed on that as well. They don’t have a variety of options. I’ve been here plenty of times with my husband and honestly it just keeps getting worse and worse. Even the seats in the actual theater are gross. They’re all cracked and the «leather» is peeling off. I used to love coming here but this place is going down hill. Time to find another place to watch movies.

The upmost best second experience for me at Cinebistro. The great quality of this movie experience was that you get less of the hassle and interruptions that we normally get at a normal theater.
The theater in itself if designed specifically to your liking with big comfy chairs as you enjoy you’re meal and or dessert. That’s the best part too: you can enjoy a restaurant style dish right from your chair. Servers are at hand to help you select your meal from your seat and the service is impeccable! Food comes out quick and hot! Also — as part of your complimentary price, free popcorn and water (hands down, happy gal!)
Very clean and attentive to all guests requests and service is cut right before the movie starts (they know we love that).
Overall, great time at Cinebistro and enjoyed watching Captain America: Civil War!

Perfect dinner and movie in one place!
Going out, even to places you’ve been many times before can be hit or miss. Cine bistro for my husband and I, has always been from our very first time 7 years ago, an awesome experience. The service is very friendly and attentive, the seats are like recliner/​rocking chairs, that are huge and the arm rest in the middle can be raised, so the two chairs are now a sort of love seat. where you can snuggle romantically while watching the movie. And the food OMG! Is so amazing, where even the tiniest drizzle or dot of sauce on your entre or desert explodes with flavor often surprising your taste buds, really! Last but not least no kids, 21 and over. So your not going to have the loud bursts of disrespectful noise, everyone there is pretty much looking for the same thing, a great night out. And in our 20 times going over 7 years, we haven’t been disappointed yet.

I don;t go to regular theaters anymore. It is either Cinebistro or nothing. I just read someone say their food is overpriced. No, it is not. You pay the same amount here that you would at a regular theater, but rather than get 2 chicken tenders and 5 curly fries for $ 18, you get quality food.
The only reason I am giving them 4 starts instead of 5 is because they changed their 21 and over policy. They now allow minors with an adult during matinée hours. What MADE this place great was not having to be around loud kids in a regular theater. Also, I had someone tell me once they got in with their mom to a MIDNIGHT showing. This someone is 14! Unacceptable! This theater is our escape! Don’t take that away!

The theater is nice, the seats are large and comfortable. Being able to order your food here is very convenient. However, the food is WAY over priced. The croquetas and the guava and cheese empanadas are good enough to mention, but honestly everything else I’ve tried was mediocre. You’re better off having dinner before or after and just getting an appetizer or popcorn. My husband and I spent $ 40 on tickets and another $ 70 on food. This is way too much for a dinner and a movie date night.

I decided to do a update review because, I still totally love this place if anything I think it has gotten even better!
I love the service, always everyone is super attentive and super nice. Everytime they have a movie première they also have a food première so to say and it’s awesome it’s like they do a whole menu for those movie première.
The manager Daniel is like the best !! Really, always helps you in whatever you need; super friendly and just the best.
I also love that if there is s drink you like from a previous movie première they will replicate it all you need is the name of the drink .
Overall 5 could this get any better stars

Saturday night’s experience was the best I had and made my birthday truly special. From the service to our food and drinks, everything was on point and flawless. As a local, I’m a fan and proud of this location.
Thank you and see you again soon!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been enjoying movies here for years and I love that they haven’t changed their receipe for success: great food, great service and great atmosphere. Had the most amazing date night movie experience with my partner at this location. You can dress up a little or go casual, order some drinks, relax on the super comfortable chairs and just enjoy your evening. Even the cool little announcements they play before the trailers are posh and trendy.
The food is a little pricey but you never feel ripped off. It’s always prepared well and it’s delicious. I was very impressed on one visit when I ordered mojitos and the bartender said «I make the best mojitos ever, you’re in for a treat.» It’s so nice to see that personal sort of touch and pride in your work in Miami where it is so often overlooked.
I really can’t anything bad about this place, it’s a perfect place to take your signifigant other and enjoy your time together. My mom loves it too.

It’s the best for date night or a girls night. We prefer coming here over the actual movie theater, even when we’re not eating or drinking. The peace of mind of not having screaming kids in a popular, new release is worth the $ and so much more — especially at Dolphin!
The menu options are fantastic! There are so many go-to’s here (or we’ve just been here too many times). We love the croquetas (both ham and Brie) and the wagyu beef sliders. We love ordering a bottle of wine — they’ll bring out a standing bucket with ice to keep it chilled throughout the movie. I love that they also bring you two sodas, so that you do not have to get up during the movie to get a refill. The seats are also really comfy — kind of like love seats with lots of leg room!
I think these people have fantastic service — always so nice and willing to help you with the menu on every visit. The tip is included, but we’ve never thought they didn’t deserve it… in fact they deserve more.

Ever since I first encountered Cinebistro it has been my go to movie theatre. I love the fact that after 6pm it is a kid free zone. They still show kid friendly movies before 6 on weekdays and weekends which is nice since our 8 year old loves the movies just as much as we do. They have a kids menu as well as booster seats and juice.
Now for the adults, the seats are large, leather and comfortable. The menu is actual restaurant menu so not your typical hot dog or pizza menu. My favorite go to order is the Alfredo and the banana cheesecake. Popcorn is free refills which you probably won’t need since the bowl is so huge. They offer wines, cocktails, mixed drinks, beer, soda and water. My husband loves the mini burgers as well. You’ll want to arrive thirty minutes before the movie begins so that the waiters can take your order and bring you your food before the movies. Once the previews begin and the movie starts there is no more order taking or waiters interrupting so it’s perfect! The prices aren’t too bad since you get to eat inside the theater and can do dinner and a movie all at once. Plus the food is nicely presented and delicious!
Service for us has always been great and if you join the cine bistro club you earn free tickets, popcorn, sandwiches, candy etc. very worth it if you are like us and enjoy going to the movies several times a month!

Going to the movies in Miami was a blast for my former teenage self but the theater experience in adulthood was much less appealing thanks to all the new teenagers that typically made it more of a nuisance than a good time. Luckily CinéBistro came along and made the movie-​going experience great again by eliminating the obnoxious antics of young viewers and throwing in some good grub and alcohol in for good measure.
The oversized seats with swivel tables and ample cup holders make for an extra comfy experience but it’s best to reserve your seats online ahead of time so that you can choose the best spot in the theater. They have a decent menu offering a wide variety of food and drinks to suit virtually any taste. My personal favorites include the short rib flatbread and spicy guac and chips but most things that I’ve tried have been tasty. Despite not having many theaters, they usually play a pretty good selection of movies.
The best thing about CinéBistro is their 21 and over age restriction. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic date night with someone special or for a peaceful adult movie night. Ticket prices are slightly above average (about $ 15 each) and the food and drinks can add up quickly but I generally find the experience to be well worth the expense, at least as an occasional treat.

I had never been here, and it’s a good experience maybe once in a blue moon. The service was good, now excellent since the waiter forgot a few things and the movie had already started. Prices are insane, for the type of food they serve you. I mean a burger for $ 17 that is crazy, but ok like I said once in a blue moon. The chairs are comfy, but I rather pay $ 8 less to sit on a regular chair and watch the same movie. Prices are insane on a regular movie theater, well CineBristo is double the price. Probably won’t be going here for a while.

Drinks and food while watching a movie? Yes please! My husband loves going to the movies and I only wish we only came to Cine Bistro every time.
To make it short and to the point:
–you reserve your seats in advance online (I suggest you do with plenty of time because theaters fill up fast if it’s a good movie)
–only 21 and over
–full bar (wine, beer, mixed drinks)
–decent food menu (they should bring back the hummus!!!)
–nice, big comfy seats
–great customer service
–very enjoyable atmosphere (romantic feel with dimmed lighting)
Considering that a regular movie theater is just a few dollars less I highly recommend this place.

I came here over the weekend to watch the Revenant with Leonardo Dicaprio. We were at Dolphin already shopping and figured why not. Typically we would stay away from this theater bc of the crowds and inconvenience but we gave it a shot!
So happy we did. We decided to order food for the movie — we were expecting typical finger foods or bar foods but we’re so surprised by a decent menu (even GF OPTIONS) which was awesome. I ordered the churrasco with rice beans a plantain chips and my BF ordered the snapper. The food was really good.
Overall had a great experience, comfy seating, great food not much more I could ask for during a 2.5 hour long movie! I’ll be back!

It had been a long time since I stepped foot in CineBistro; about 4 – 5 years maybe?
Star Wars VII was a darn good reason to make a special trip to Dolphin Mall and enjoy the movie at this fantastic theatre. I always loved the idea of reserving your seats in advance and avoid long queues and/​or fighting for «good» seats. We also love being able to booze while watching the movie.
One sangria (red) pitcher is plenty for two. Order two glasses with ice to «cool» it down throughout the movie and you’ll definitely be in for a good time, unless you fall sleep first.
The chairs are really comfy and absolutely are worth the premium.
For all new (blockbuster) premieres, CineBistro is the way to go.

CinéBistro bears the potential to be a first-​class movie theatre but falls short of the top spot due to its own procedural shortcomings.
Having tried only a handful of menu items and finding them all to be astonishingly great, makes me eager to return. Popcorn Chicken served in a bucket of Pop Corn is ducking genius. (Siri, please stop correcting me, as we both know that I’ve never intentionally used the word «ducking» in any sentence, prior to this one.) However, having to show up x amount of minutes before the previews start, in order to have your order served rather than picked up, takes the luxury out of luxury dining.
It’s also worth noting that even the most basic theatres of the last 15 years have started to reinvent themselves in ways that’s starting to make CinéBistro look like an entry-​level Mercedes in a showroom of fully loaded Lexuses. With chairs that don’t recline, and a third-​party ticketing system that rewards patrons with a fee (by way of Fandango), CinéBistro risks alienating its primary customer base.
To the CinéBistro social media manager who’s taking the time to read this review: please urge upper management to consider adding valet parking as an option during the ticketing process, as you very well know, trying to find parking at Dolphin Mall is a formidable task, irregardless of the time of day.

Adult movie theater located in Dolphin Mall in Miami.
There on the second floor of the mall. Once you walk in you notice the Full Bar located in the lobby. The bar is fully stocked and ready to make some tasty drinks. I had the Margarita and it was good. They have several stools by the bar to sit on and also some tables and chairs. You can order food here.
You are seated about 40 minutes before the movie. Once you walk in you notice the big leather reclining seats. They are so comfortable. A server comes by your seat and takes your food and drink order. It comes before the movie starts. If you want more food or drinks when the movie starts you have to get up and go to the concession stand to get it yourself. They have plenty of food choices on the menu. I had the brie and the ham croquetas and they were Delicious. Then I had the sliders and they were good to.
The staff was friendly and professional.

The concept: large comfy seats reserved in advance, nice food menu, lot’s of drink variations, all snacks available (popcorn, skiddles, etc.).
I love to know exactly where I will sit in a movie theater, specially if the movie is a blockbuster and there will be lines and a full house. CinéBistro allows you to reserve the seat, and the cost is not much higher than the regular theaters. Note: got my StarWars ticket already, with great seats! No fighting the mad crowds on opening night, Dec.16^th.
Additionally they have a nice food menu, not extensive but covers all bases. I usually have the Churrasco steak ($ 21) and a glass of wine, and it NEVER disappointed me.
Sometimes we get popcorn ($ 8) and sodas ($ 4), both with free refills! Yes… FREE refills.
There are only two points that keep it from 5 stars:
— The prices of the main dishes could be a bit lower, so the decision to get a «diner and a movie» would be a no-​brainer.
— Some guests forget that they are in a movie theater and NOT a restaurant, and keep yapping away like thy are at a loud Italian pizzeria. I know, not the theater’s fault, but the ushers should pay attention and shut these people up. Yes, I’m angry… way too many cases like that this year.
In summary: CinéBistro is a fun and comfortable night out at the theaters, recommended!

I have been to CineBistro one other time, and returned this past weekend after almost a year since my first visit. I absolutely LOVE the concept of this movie experience.
The theaters are smaller in size and number. Roughly only 5 – 6 theaters seeing less than 70 people. Large, soft leather seats with extra large cup holders and a small swivel table. Front row has ottomans you can put your feet up on (perhaps to compensate for the fact you’re in the FRONT ROW of a movie theater!)
Patrons are allowed entrance to the theater only 30 mins before showtime. Which, if you arrive early, no worries. CineBistro has a VERY comfy and stylish lobby area complete with full bar and plenty of seating. Looks more like a lounge than a movie theater!
Once you’re seated inside the theater, servers will bring you a menu and take your drink and food order. Yes there’s the usual popcorn, candy and soft drinks. But if you’d like to have a nice cold beer, mixed drink, salad, burger, pasta… these choices are also available!
Note: the menu does change seasonally. I noticed some new mixed drinks and food offerings upon this visit.
CineBistro isn’t the cheapest way to do movies (I probably spent $ 90 on myself watching two movies WITHOUT including the movie ticket price!), but to me it’s completely worth it. Smaller venue, more intimate setting. Oh and did I mention NO CHILDREN AFTER 6PM? (I think only weekends but I could be wrong) I’d say it’s the best date night ever. Or the best «me time» ever.

Ok where to start!!!
1. You get to reserve your seats
2. No scream or crying little kids because it’s 21+
3. You can have an alcoholic drink while watching a movie rather than a coke
4. You can have an actual mean while watching a movie instead of eating just popcorn and candy.
5. Seats are big and leather unlike the not so comfortable regular movie seats
6. Service was great, quick and to the point.
Only bad things are that
* you have to order everything at once because the server will not come back after the movie.
* you have to arrive prior to the movie if you want to eat.
* food is very pricey (but then again so is the food in regular movie theaters)
Conclusion is I love the this and I will definitely be back, if you’re on a budget eat at home and watch the movie without eating because the tickets aren’t too expensive only the food.
But if money isn’t the issue then I definitely recommend eating there because the food is greattttt !
Perfect place for a romantic dinner and movie date :)

If you’re going to watch a movie… You have to watch it here. You can reserve your very comfortable, leather seats online. I went with my friend to watch Pitch Perfect 2 on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived early and sat at the bar where I ordered a delicious Lychee Martini (my favorite drink).
When the theatre opened we were seated immediately. It took a little longer than I would have liked for our order to be taken. We had 2 different waiters tell us someone else would be taking our order shortly. They each seemed a bit frustrated.
Once someone took our order, the drinks came out quickly but the food took about 20 minutes… That might have been because we were one of the last people to have our orders taken. I ordered the tacos which were delicious. I felt that the food is a bit pricey but I guess you are really paying extra for the comfort and convenience. I plan on returning and trying other menu items. I do wish they had a few more healthy options on their menu rather than so many fried items.

la calidad del cine y de la comida es impresionante, lo recomiendo ampliamente
