Dinner And a Movie

How many dinner and a movie dates have you been on? Probably dozens. Waiting 30 minutes to an hour for a table because you forgot to make reservations, then an hour for dinner, then two hours at the movies, then it's so late that you end up going straight home. Well, Ryan planned date night last weekend and took me to Studio Movie Grill @ CityCentre - where you sit at a small table, instead of being cramped without any arm or leg room, with a full-service dinner and drink menu and waiter. I know these exist in other cities, but this was the first time for both of us. Not to mention CityCentre is a modern outdoor district with plenty of shopping and dining - a popular weekend hangout. 

We sipped cocktails and ordered appetizers while we watched Taken 2. Even though the movie isn't getting rave reviews, I really liked it. Maybe because I have a slight crush on Liam Neeson, but hey, who else in the world has his particular set of skills? ;) It was what you'd expect for a sequel, not quite as exciting as the first, but it was still a good action-packed movie that kept you on the edge of your seat. At least it had the same cast. 

As far as Studio Movie Grill, it gets two thumbs up from the Clayton's. I think movie theaters are overpriced and usually don't go unless I absolutely have to see the movie (which hasn't happened often in the past couple years.. ask Ryan), but this set up seems much more worth your $10 movie ticket. The food and drinks were good, we had much more room than an average theater and after the movie we still had time to walk and shop around CityCentre. 

Fun date night courtesy of my hubby! I'm excited for the next new experience.

Much love,
