iPic Theaters

A seat was comfortable. A service was great but drink was a little bit lated. However it’s my favorite theatre in this area ever.

So I loved my experience
The reason I’m giving three starter is because just trying to book the tickets online was very difficult. it took us four tries just to book the tickets, apparently you have to register an email and it doesn’t really explained on the website the steps to take to buy tickets.
Then im marking off another star because when my fiancé and i entered the bar or lounge area it took awhile for anyone to even come over to ask of us for drinks. Our server seemed very fake and it really wasn’t that busy.
Once we sat down in the movies our server was very kind the food we ordered was delicious.
It does get very cold in there though, thank goodness for the blanket.
Its very clean in facility too.
Fun experience overall. Would be back.

Love this place! Reclined seats and food delivered to your seats. Try to get out this way as often as possible when deciding to go to a movie. I know there are a lot of other theaters that offer reclined seats but this is by far my favorite and go-​to.

I went here for my birthday today and i have to say WOW. This place makes it hard for me to want to go back to a regular movie theater ever again. I think i maybe a bit spoiled now and my boyfriend who is a tall 6’2 loved the reclining seats so much that he said we must come back again to see pride, prejudice and zombies. I say its a massive upgrade from all my movie going experiences. The service was excellent too! And ps, i went to cinnebarre once since people keep talking about it and the place was very blah and not very clean. In short, cinnebarre was gross. Go to ipic instead, you’ll be more grateful for it.

We recently went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We splurged and spent a little more money on the premium plus seats, which are always great. It’s nice being able to recline as much or as little as you’d like, and get comfortable with the provided blanket and pillow. We ordered drinks and food, and our server was great; very attentive.
My only complaint is how expensive some of the items can be. A tiny cocktail that costs $ 15, while tasty, seems a bit much. But all in all, it’s a pretty great theater — definitely a change from the regular theaters.

Following my visit, I was contacted by both the Manager and General manager, both looking to ensure that they could make good what happened, and wanted to use it as a learning opportunity. I appreciate them reaching out, and I will certainly give them another shot.

Went back last night, great movie, but everything in my last review remains the same except the temperature was fine this time.
Blanket and pillow immediately went on the floor. Arm rest had visible gunk all over it, used my napkin to cover the arm rest. Popcorn in the seat. I ordered the chicken & asparagus. The chicken tasted rubbery and microwaved, the asparagus was okay, a few hard pieces. Stomach today is unhappy from that chicken. I guess your best bet is deep fried stuff they can’t really screw up. For the money, eat elsewhere before going. It’s a great experience of you bring some wipes and eat prior! I’ll go back, but just for the movie experience.

iPic theater is probably the best movie theater in the Seattle area. They have very comfortable chairs (with pillows and blankets included), amazing device, good food and great selection of beer, wine and cocktails. iPic has really good screens and sound.
This place is hard to beat. I tried other theaters in Seattle area that offer food and drinks and nobody comes even close. Cinerama’s screen is probably better, but their seats aren’t nearly as comfortable as iPic’s, nor do they have the drinks & food selection iPic has. Also, with iPic you can order food while you watch the movie without having to get up from your chair! Most other places you actually have to get out the theater to go pick up your food from the concessions desk.

A baby cried throughout almost the entire Pan movie! I and other guests were astonished that an infant was allowed in the theatre. The manager acted completely impotent in rectifying or making amends for the issue!
Update January 9,2016
My husband and I attended the Star Wars movie. We arrived ten minutes before previews and It took over 25 minutes to see a waiter! I called the front desk to ask for a waiter after fifteen minutes of waiting. The waiter was unapologetic when I told him we had waited so long. When I repeated myself, he apologized but, as if I had to push him to it. I missed part of the previews because we were ordering. Bummed! It’s so hit and miss at this theater!

Tried the Ipic theaters again. This time I came prepared for the unbelievable cold with a nice warm throw of my own. It was barely enough.
My friend and I paid in cash. We needed change. This did not go over well. Our server disappeared. Another guy said he’d go get him (this was after the movie) and didn’t. We went to the bar and one guy said he’d go get us change and was gone a long time. Then came out explaining that the bar isn’t set up to deal in cash. Huh? Finally, we got our change. I personally think that’s bats**t crazy.
We never got our free popcorn this time.
This place is over 20 miles from my house. I only went there because my friend– who lives near there– really likes it. I nearly froze to death both times, they don’t seem to be able to deal with cash, and the whole thing seems badly managed. I am not going back. If I got a gift cert for the place, I’d give it away.

It’s too bad they allow children now
Ruined their model so noisy now :(
I don’t want to go to an expensive movie and bar and have children running around :(

This place is excellent if:
1. The choice seats in the back are still available.
2. You are in the mood for a more upscale bar/​dining experience plus movie theater.
Otherwise, the «cheap seats» are just OK. They don’t recline and you don’t have a server coming around checking in on you. The food and drinks are OK, but not significantly better than Cinebarr and not worth the additional $$ unless you really want a reserved seat and a more high end ambiance. I enjoy coming here, I just never quite feel like it’s worth the additional money unless you go first class all the way, including the premium seats. So definitely a solid 4 star experience with qualifications.

I’ve gone many times now. Service is still irregular sometimes, but it leans more often than not towards being checked on at least once during the movie. The food & drink menu seems to be pairing down over time. They removed the port tasting that I always ordered, and the mozzarella sticks that where my favorite which is kind of a bummer. And they have moved to subscription based membership so you cannot use your points without paying an annual fee $ 15. Overall, I still love going because it is the only place near me that offers that experience, but it is pretty expensive. They at least still have the chocolate martini which is to die for.
5 star for the movie experience — like no other in comfort.
2 stars for food (fine, but not worth the price) & irregular service

Just had our first movie experience here, since for some reason Cinerama did not have Mockingjay Part 2. The kids really wanted to see it and had seen the other 3 movies there, so we splurged and went to iPic for it.
We got the ultra expensive seats in back that recline the entire way. As a movie going experience, I have to admit it was pretty nice.
Unfortunately, we also got food. The food is pretty poor and very expensive. If you feel like you HAVE to eat there, I’d recommend light appetizers. The food bill for the 4 of us was over $ 120, and we didn’t load up by any means. You’re way better off just getting some wine/​beer and maybe a small bite.
4-​stars for the movie experience.
2-​stars for the food.

Love the seats — 5 star
Don’t order the food, high price, low quality — 1 star
[edit] «Customer Service» — 1 star (See bottom)
We have been coming here for a few years and really enjoy the experience. We used to come and get something to eat, have a drink, then watch the movie which made a great date night. Of the countless times we have been here the more expensive reclining haven’t been available so we sit up front and either have eaten before or taken the food in. I’d recommend eating at Matt’s, Spazzo or Thai Ginger before hand then having a drink with the movie.
Seating and amenities are a 5 star rating for me. We have always sat at the «Premium» seating up front which are fixed seats, they don’t recline. But they are HUGE with nothing but leg room. The little tables that each seat has is actually more conducive to casual dining during the movie than the «premium plus» seating in back. The table swings in front of you. As with any theater, the front row is too close for me, but if I sit in the furthest back two rows of these seats it is just a great experience. $ 30 for two tickets to these seats.
This weekend we sat in the «Premium Plus» seats in the back, which was $ 50 for two tickets. The seats are just fantastic, they recline way back and they give you a tiny little pillow and a blanket. The theater is always pretty cold, so the blanket is awesome. I can’t say that I would always buy these seats for $ 50 as opposed to the ones up front. But every so often we will treat ourselves.
Now the food, that is a 1 out of 5 stars for me, low quality by even bar food standards for a very high price. I don’t foresee going to the movie and trying to have dinner with the movie again, really sub-​par food and a couple of drinks cost us $ 85 with tip.
For $ 72 we got the Bite Size Nachos, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese, Grilled Beef Tenderloin Skewers and 2 beers. My wife just drank water and we were given cheap bad food and two beers for $ 85 with tip. $ 135 for tickets and food. Never again.
Bite Size Nachos — These are very very small tortillas, cut in half and have mostly black been purée and cheese on each, there are maybe ten small bites. We were up-​sold the addition of beef by the waiter for $ 5 and if there was any beef at all it was imperceptible. With little to no light I couldn’t see them, but I can tell you I didn’t taste it. $ 18 for something you’d pay $ 5 for at a bar happy hour.
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese $ 18 — Tiny little sandwich cut into fours with tiny tiny amount of meat and cheese. Prior to the sandwich being cut up, it must have been very small. Also, I can imagine that only half of it had meat or cheese on it because the little cut up portions on the plate had very little. One section had maybe ¹⁄₅^th of it with the filling, next to nothing. The sweet potato fries were good, really good, but that didn’t make up for the tiny entrée that had been grilled in a ton of butter. $ 10 tops at a diner type of dish. But I wouldn’t order it at a diner… I really felt ripped off for $ 18.
Grilled Beef Tenderloin Skewers $ 18 — Pretty good, small portion. If you want awesome skewers for half the price, go get the Chicken Satay skewers across the way at Thai Ginger for $ 9 before your movie. $ 18 for what you get is just nonsense
My recommendation is to get this seats up front for most movies, have dinner at Matt’s or Thai Ginger then have a drink in the iPic bar before hand and take another drink into the movie. I love that you know which seat is yours so you can get a drink and have it in the bar while the 10 — 15 minutes of previews play. THEN, every once in a while, treat yourself and get the recliner in back and order your drinks from your seat.
I gave iPic a 4 star instead of 3 because just seeing a movie there and having a drink is great. I hope they do something about the food to bring up the quality and increase the value, right now it’s something to avoid.
[edit]
After I posted my review, Karen P., who is titled as Business Customer Service for iPic responded to the public post with the cut and paste that she responds to most 4 and 5 star reviews. It isn’t customer service, it’s a cut and paste pitch to upsell you to the recliner seats or for a membership in instances. Customer services isn’t running adds shilling for an upsell, customer services is responding to the fact that I was served food that I’d expect at a tavern happy hour for ¼ the price. In my review I said the food was «something to avoid», and she responds by pitching me to make sure I buy the expensive seats next time.
Her message says in part «David, We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit with us», to which I responded «I didn’t really completely enjoy the visit. The food was just awful, terrible and cost an arm and a leg.» and asked her if she had read my review. No response. So I’m bumping my review down to 3 stars. If this is iPic «customer service», then there actually is no customer service.

This was a fun place. Very big abd i love the recliner chair and table! You can bring drinks and food in the theater! the people there were friendly! Thank you!

Best thing here? Other than the clean seats & decent food & drinks is NO KIDS!
notchos were ok but they ruined the chips crunchiness by adding sauces on top rather than on side. But their tater tots were good especially with sriracha & ketchup!

Wandering around Redmond Town Center with some time to kill, I just happened onto iPic Theaters and was I impressed! From the outside it’s super unassuming. Inside you’ll find an upscale bar, dining area, concessions stand and more with seven current movies playing.
Since I’m not sure when I’ll get back, I get the premium seat for a show of Furious 7 which runs $ 17. The premium leather seats are on the back side of the theater and give you full reclining seats with free popcorn during the previews. On special, iPic had $ 8 specialty drinks on Tuesday, I order up some pretzel sticks which was plenty of food. Service was excellent throughout the movie and the place is just very well-​run.
The screen is on the smaller side from the back of the theater but very sharp and excellent sound system for a fine movie experience. In the end, home theaters are so good nowadays that it takes a place like iPic Theater to make the movie-​watching experience special. And no doubt in my mind, that it does exactly that!

Oh boy, this is my favorite theater ever!!! My husband and I don’t go watch movies in regular movie theater anymore. We are way too spoiled here.
This is our place for date nights. What is better than watching a good movie in a comfy recliner with pillows and blankets, and being served with yummy food? We totally LOVE this place OMG!!!
We usually watch movies and have dinner a the same time. The food is great, and they have one of the best fries I ever tasted. we usually get the beef skewer with asparagus and regular fries.
My only complaint is that the cocktails are usually weak. we had to ask for them to remake it again a few times duo the lack od alcohol :/​But, other than that, we are always happy to come here.
TIP ONE: if you come here or intent to come, in case you like and want to come back, become a member of the website. it is or free and every once in a while we get free tickets: D
TIP TWO: If you are a Microsoft employee, they accept PRIME card, which gives discount for movie tickets. It is much cheaper from Monday– Thirsday.

GO IPIC OR GO HOME!!!
(5 stars)
There’s only very few IPic Theaters in the US and I had to get my experience in. The seats are very limited making your experience more intimate. DEFINITLY, THE MOST COMFORTABLE THEATER EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE.
1. Go online
2. Select a movie and time
3. Select your seats
a) Premium Seating ($ 18.50/per seat) — comfy seats but does not recline and does not come with food service.
b) Premium Plus Seating ($ 27/​per seat) — reclining chair and comes with food service.
4. Pay online to reserve seating
Bought 3 Premium Plus Seats which is a reclining chair, comes with a pillow, blanket, food & drink service with a connecting table (separate charge when ordering). It was nice to know you don’t have to rush to the theater to seek your seat as they are already reserved.
The experience was awesome!!! The only annoying part was when the wait staff comes around while you are trying to watch the movie. Its nice they are there for you but wish there was some sign we have on our tables that says «yes» (yes, I need service) or «no» (no don’t bother me I’m watching the movie). Before the movie you are given the menu and you can order drinks (non alcoholic and alcoholic) and food. Also, free popcorn is passed out at the beginning of the show to each person without cost. When you order from the menu, it is a separate charge. We ordered the asparagus and beef satay plate which was very good. The menu had appetizers to full meals. My first experience was pricey (spending over $ 125 to watch a movie) but very well worth it and to treat to the people I love the most… my parents!!!
Will I be back? Y E S.
JABA APPROVED. Until the next review…
