One of my co-workers introduced me to Cinema sometime in 2007. Since then, I've brought a few of my own friends and colleagues here as well, and they all like the place.\r

Since it's Midtown, it gets packed around lunchtime (12-1:30 PM) on weekdays. Unless you want to spend half of your lunch break waiting for a table, I'd suggest having a snack at the office and wait until two o'clock. It's a good spot to meet up with friends after work too, since it's not too crowded then (came here around 6 PM on a Friday).\r

Every time I come here, I get the bacon-wrapped turkey burger or the teriyaki-glazed tuna burger. They are just THAT good. Each order comprises two sliders and a salad or fries.The grilled shrimp sandwich is great too. The popcorn shrimp appetizer was, but it had more batter than shrimp. Still, I like Cinema enough to forgive them for that.\r

The atmosphere is great--bright, lively, but not too loud. The tables are well-spaced and not cramped together like some places. I need to come back and try their other menu items...after I get my burger fix.
Pros: Burgers!
Cons: Crowded at lunch
