I only wish this place was open more. They are open Wednesday through Sunday and it seems like I am always in the mood for a movie and their delicious food on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Central Cinema is a theatre that shows movies in their second run. The main draw is that you can be served food and drinks during the movie. Also of note is the fact that their tickets are only $5! An evening's worth of entertainment ends up being very inexpensive if you go here.
Their bistro menu has nice options like thin-crust personal pizzas, sandwiches, and salads. My favorite is the Sienna--aged provolone with caramelized onion, pine nuts, and basil. Their desserts are huge and decadent. You can pair your meal with local microbrews, wine, tea, coffee, or specialty sodas. Also of note is their popcorn with real butter. I'd recommend that over the popcorn with dijon. I thought it would be powdered mustard, but it was drenched with way too much liquid mustard instead.
I haven't been to a matinee yet, but I've been most excited about their "children's movies" in the past. The Muppet Movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... I will definitely be going to The Princess Bride, which plays this week! Matter of fact, I'll also be seeing their evening show, Repo Man, too!
