CMX Cine Bistro Halcyon use to be my favorite theatre. But the last few years it has gone so far down hill! The air is ALWAYS out and the theatre is filthy. Tonight we were sat in a nasty theatre where EVERY chair looks worn completely out and unclean. This will unfortunately be the last straw for me here. Would rather drive down 30 more minutes for a better theatre. This is very sad considering Halcyon is a great place to be other than for a movie.

Really bad experience. Watch out for the auto gratuity, because they still ask for an extra tip despite that which is pretty shady.

theatre sucks - horrible. No AC and when asked they said it has been like this for more than a week and said nothing can be done - the prices are charged but horrible env - this is early Aug situation btw !

This theater has gone from great to awful. The auditorium was hot, humid, and miserable—no air conditioning, and staff ignored repeated complaints. In 2025, with streaming offering comfort at home, there’s no reason to put up with this. We will never be back. And by the way, look at the reviews - management only responds to 4/5 star reviews and do not give a shit about lower ratings. Speaks for itself on their customer service.

This policy has an under 21 age policy for watching a movie and my cousin wasn’t able to go what a horrible store policy, I would give this zero stars for this rule itself when we were trying to watch a movie, he was with his family so another zero stars

This place has gone to shite. No menu online, mandatory gratuity but you have to leave the theatre get your own refills before the movie even starts, bathrooms smell like someone pissed all over the place.

No ice cream to make shakes. Could feel the crossbar in the chair bottom so quite uncomfortable. Got the wagyu sliders and they didn’t taste very good but little did I know they were rancid! Vomited when I got home! Horrible smell from bathroom as we were leaving. This place is disgusting. Go elsewhere!

Had a ungrateful experience. There were Moths flying inside theatre. The seats very dirty and carpet was smelly. Not only this, the front desk person was rude and invested in himself while we were waiting on him to scan our tickets. The bar was closed and you had to order inside alley which was crowded. Restrooms very in a bad shape and i mean vomit on sink and toilet seat filled with paper rolls. Not a good place to

We have always enjoyed going to the movies at your theater, and in the past, it has been a wonderful experience. However, over the past two weeks, I have visited twice and noticed that the HVAC system in the bar/waiting area is not working. With the current summer temperatures, it’s extremely uncomfortable to spend time in that space without air conditioning. It’s disappointing, especially since this has been one of our favorite places to visit. Please consider addressing this issue as soon as possible. We’d love to continue being frequent customers, but the lack of climate control makes it difficult to enjoy the overall experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Lorena Francis

Comfortable seating, food is pretty good for pub food, but the practice of applying automatic 20% tip your check for party of two - not cool! Considering we had to flag down for water and had to get up ourselves service is lacking that tip was unnecessary
Where to start? My bestie and I have been eagerly waiting for this movie outing. We had friendly service and ok food, but after that it took a turn for the worst. So we were ordering our food and a moth started flying around and our server was kind enough to kill it. I thought that was the end, but three to four more came to avenge their friend's death. The moths bothered me the whole time during the movie. When we were exiting the theater my friend goes watch out, it was a trash can in the middle of the walk way catching water, so I leaned against the wall WHICH HAD FRESH PAINT ON IT. THERE WERE NO SIGNS FOR WET PAINT. When I asked a worker about it and showed him my hand he didn't seemed bothered by it at all! Well at least my friend had great entertainment of me swapping at moths with my cloth napkin and watching me freak out about the wet paint on my hands. I will not be returning here, I only wish I would have read the reviews first.

We went last Sunday to watch Moana, the bathrooms were super dirty. I bought two drinks, they came in a tall glass, asked for a kids cup so she wouldn’t spill, waited all the movie and never got it. The popcorn took forever to order and many tries to be able to pay, there’s better options.

It was a Monday evening and we went to the bar to order food. Three people behind the counter, zero guest at the bar and yet it took them 20 mins to make eye contact with us. They all were acting up like we were not even there. After 20 mins I told them to take my order right away as we were getting late for the movie. One lady then took the order. 20 mins later we did got the burgers at the theater but our drinks were missing. We stopped two staff who were serving people beside us and told them that our drinks were missing. 45 mins later, nothing. I walked out to the front and told the front desk. He called the staff on his walkie. Another 30 mins went by and no still no drinks. I had to tell another staff who was serving another guest and he finally got our drinks. This was an absolute waste of money and time to go at this dine in theater. Never again!!!

Never again! Be warned by rude server oh and they include over 20% tip when you order anything and not tell you but proceed to ask for additional tip. Then is extremely rude when you question it. On top of this the couple next to us was charged 3 times and the only response from same server was oh it will drop off and it’s standard! I cannot believe the attitude!

Went for a movie on 11/09 and it was the worst theater. There was no Air conditioning and people were sweating for the entire duration of the movie. And the theater smelled like bugs
