When we arrived the lobby was peaceful, not bustling, it felt more like a lounge than a movie theater lobby, it actually felt NOTHING like a movie theater lobby! The tables were festive, strewn with NYE hats, streamers, and confetti, couples were coming in from the cold, settling into the bar, chatting, kissing and holding hands. Seems we were not the only ones! We chose a high top table, ordered our drinks and chatted while like-minded people glanced over, smiled knowing smiles as they made themselves comfortable. I felt as if I had been let in on this really great secret and could not wait to see what was next, my anticipation ran high and before the night was over I was hooked! CinéBistro did not disappoint! They never do, every time we see a movie we choose CinéBistro, a theater where we do not feel like one of the invisible masses but instead, like an honored guest.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting CineBistro General Manager Colby Shepherd. You know how when you meet someone you can sense how much they love what they do, that's was the case with Colby. She takes Cinebistro's tagline, "Movies with Taste" to heart, ensuring that each and every guest is treated to a tasteful experience. But it doesn't stop there, it's the approach towards their staff that sets CineBistro apart, and why you owe it to yourself to indulge in this delicious experience next time you are checking the internet for movie times! But more about that in a minute.
The CinéBistro concept was introduced in both Miami and Tampa in 2008. Owned by Cobb Theaters (in the movie biz since 1921), the idea was to offer movie lovers first-rate films in a beautiful, clean theater run by a friendly, well-trained team. Said Colby, "There are movie theaters, and there are entertainment destinations where it’s a total pleasure to see a film, CineBistro is the latter." We asked her what people like BEST about the CineBistro experience and she replied, "People love our rocking stadium seats and being able to get quality food, well-crafted cocktails, beer and wine inside a theater."
