I was disappointed in the arrangement of food came out. Half the party got their main entrees early and then the two parties that were eating off the restaurant week menu and got their main entrees like 20 minutes later. And actually the main entree dishes tasted better than the restaurant week menu list

Un lugar en donde llegas y no hay quien te atienda para asignarte tu mesa. Tuve que ir a buscar y la persona que estaba encargada del ingreso al cine fue quien me dijo en donde sentarme y esperar la atención

Unfortunately the service was not good and the food was not as well. We ordered an asada bowl medium and it came to us well, when sent back to have recooked, came back again well and over cooked. Service was also very slow and little relief offered on the overcooked meal.

I & everyone in my dinner group will never return to this restaurant! The one reason that makes it a very unpleasant dining experience was the BLARING TV with a soccer game on that was so loud that it was impossible to have a conversation. We asked that the music that was on when we entered to be turned down so they shut the loud music and replaced it with the BLARING soccer game. The manager told us that there was nothing that she could do because it was corporates rule that they sound must be up to 51 decibels and that she was already breaking the rule by having it at 31 decibels. So corporate is more important than customers. At the time that we asked for the soccer game to be turned down we were the only people in the place. Enjoy your restaurant corporate! We go out to visit with people and need to be able to talk to each other not scream to be heard.

The Lot was a delightful place to eat. It is attached to the luxury movie theatres so when ordering food you can even get a Slushie from the theatre if you want. The menu was extensive and had a couple of vegetarian items too. The service was great and they were very attentive. One of our favorite things was it was quiet enough to have conversations without raising our voices. Even the elderly in our party were able to hear with no trouble.

So disappointed. It appeared about 6 months ago that when Zentrl took over as the new restaurant operator, the menu and quality of food was on a better trajectory. Unfortunately, something has changed in recent months. The menu has changed once again, with limited options and the quality vs the price is almost a joke. Our first clue things had changed should have been the place noticeably empty on a Saturday night during prime dinner hours. Two tables occupied at 7pm. I politely said something about our food and unfortunate experience to the waiter and he replied with, “well that's above my pay grade, sorry I can't help you”. So obviously, the staff needs some training as well. In my humble opinion, I think the theater needs the restaurant. It's a lot of space being leased to not have a profitable restaurant that helps support the theater business. It appears that we're back to square one and I'm not sure that the theater will be able to hold on on its own. I really hope things will turn around because we enjoy going to The Lot for the movies. As of now we will be eating elsewhere.

Wonderful open layout restaurant/ bar. Great food, service and ambiance. We will visit again soon. Brian was attentive and on knowledgeable of the menu.

food was not worth the mother's day fee. food was tepid. we were told we had an hour before buffet shut down. no issue with that but it was evident the food was not being replenished. we paid the same amount regardless of time. its evident this was a cash grab for mothers day- wont be back

I understand this is a once in awhile thing but the selection was alright, the crab mac and cheese was disappointing , the avocado they had laid out started browning quickly, a lot of ingredients just laid out for their salad station but was a mess cause ingredients are just piled everywhere for messes to be made. The server kept constantly telling us that it's a 90 minute window only due to the max reservation but the whole thing was probably 40% full at most so, coming to our table 4 times to repeat yourselves over a time limit that wasn't even necessary was annoying. The mimosas were for 2 people or the adults? They were adamant on giving us 1 mimosa, given it was just me and my mom but i saw all other tables with everyone with their free mimosa. Our server was definitely new, constantly stuttering over words, and came up to us speaking spanish immediately when we have no idea how to speak it. The food selection was okay at best, The prime rib was the highlight. I wouldn't go back at their price point and service. If they host a dining experience, they should hire servers with experience also, i felt like they just hired one of the movie theater workers the venue is setup in and to just start serving tables. Wild. First and last for sure. Charging for normal beverages even after that price point for a “buffet” is insane as well.

Zentrl was very pleasant. Service was good and the food was tasty. Slightly loud music but the restaurant was not busy so the music may have seemed louder than it actually was. Overall a very good experience. Would certainly go again.
Unexpected hideaway. Service was great and the food was good. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining. We dined in the early afternoon and enjoyed the outdoor dining under an umbrella.

The only thing that was not very good at Zentrl Kitchen +Bar was the level of noise: it was too loud. Otherwise our experience was excellent! The food was delicious and the service was great!

We chose items from the 3-course O C Restaurant Week menu. We liked the ambiance and the service and the food. The tuna carpaccio was excellent. The ribeye was also excellent and cooked exactly the way we ordered it. We'd go there again.

I've only been there twice recently for movies and I love that you can order online. It's never crowded. The matinee price is really good. The sound is good and the chairs are comfortable and the atmosphere is super clean.
