A Pampered Experience
My husband and I went for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. If you want to be pampered, have great cocktails and somewhat decent food, relax in a very comfortable recliner with a pillow and blanket, I highly recommend this venue. It does cost a little more than Studio Movie Grill, but it is really worth it. I was a little disappointed in the food. The pizza's were a bit greasy and the beinet's had no taste. The popcorn and the service were good. Overall we liked it and we are going back again next week.

Still less than it could and should be, and in some ways, worse
I posted a more complete review in September 2010. Having returned in May 2011, I wanted to update a few things. I won't retread much here, so for more, look for the prior review. ----------------------------- Since last year, Gold Class in Fairview has retooled its approach, and the changes are not necessarily for the better. Most notable, you can only order during the first 20 minutes of the film. With some movies lasting between 2 and 3 hours, this is a disappointment. If you want to enjoy a few drinks during the movie, you have to look like an idiot and order them at the 20 minute mark. I was told the reason is that people prefer not to be interrupted during the movie. Granted, but service during the film is the cornerstone of the theater, so that response did not make sense. On the plus side, ticket prices are lower. Last year it was $25 a seat, this year you pay between $15-$18 depending on the size of your seat. There are fewer fully extending lounge chairs, as most were replaced by smaller but still comfortable chairs to accommodate more customers. Food was mediocre and costly. I believe the quality of the food has gone down. Drinks are still rather costly, over $10 for a basic well drink. Fine if you are in a classy club where service and ambience are top notch, not so fine for a moderately refined theater. Service is still their achilles heel. Servers were generally lackluster and disinterested. They weren't bad, they just weren't very good, which is ashame given the anticipated environment. So, go to this theater if you want a really comfortable chair and don't mind paying high drink prices, otherwise, stick with Movie Tavern or the like.
