Fun, Food & a Movie!

Bill won passes for the Studio Movie Grill in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. This was our first time to visit a theater like this. We weren't really sure what to expect. We decided to see Nim's Island, and it was really a cute movie. Although, the little girl in the movie seemed like a very mature 11-yr old. Other than that, we really enjoyed it....Jodie Foster was really funny!

As for the food part of the movie, we had to pay for that ourselves. In typical movie theatre fashion, it was pretty much overpriced. But considering you could page your waitress anytime you needed anything from a drink refill, salt, extra napkins, etc, I think it all evened out in the end! So in all we would give this a thumbs up! Probably won't make a habit of going, but if free passes turned up again, we wouldn't hesitate to give it a go!

The pictures are kind of hard to see because, well, it was dark and we only had Bill's cell phone for pictures. But they did turn on the lights for about a minute (just for Bill, right) and Bill got a really good picture of us girls waiting for the movie to start.

The setup - small tables alternated with "bar" seating. The chairs were leather office type

chairs, which I loved cause I could sit up high! ;o)



Sydney perusing the menu.....what to get....ice cream, maybe?



Nope, buttery, buttery popcorn!!



What are we going to eat, girls?



This is the best picture. We sat at one of the "bar" tables. Bill had a Thai Chicken Salad,

Syd had buttery popcorn, Hayley had Chips & Queso, I had a Cheese Quesadilla, and Em

had Fruit & Chips. The food wasn't that bad, either. Syd loved the popcorn!

Too fun!! I have never been there, but it looks like a great family outing (or maybe a a great place for a moms' night out!?)
