First time watching a movie here. Absolutely loved it! I really liked the interior design. Everything was very clean. Seats recline and are comfortable. They come with a wide tray for your food. Not sure if the trays can collapse but if you’re a bigger person you will have to squeeze into your seat 😅Food was good. We ordered popcorn w/butter and a pretzel. The pretzel was so soft! We also got a boozy whiskey banana split shake. Delicious! The server we had was very nice and explained the process of how to order food. Theaters are small, which I prefer. It makes the experience more cozy and personal. Bathrooms are clean and unisex. So don’t be surprised about that. My only con was getting there. There is parking. Just remember to VALIDATE it. It’s $6 validated but $40 plus with no validation. We had to take multiple elevators to get there. And got a little lost trying to get back to our car. Anyways, their website gives you very detailed information about everything. So read it before you go. This will be my theater of choice for future movie outings.

Absolutely the best movie theater. They go the extra mile to give you an amazing different experience then your usual movie theater. I love that you can sit down on a reclining chair, lift your feet, and eat and drink while watching movies. They are so quiet when bringing you your food and drinks you don't even notice them. I have to say thief food is pretty good my favorite is their grilled chicken sandwich with avocado, and their chip and queso yummy. Their staff is always so friendly and helpful and courteous. Oh I always bring a blanket adds to the cozy vibes.

Went here on a solo movie date and had a great time! They show old movies (I saw the og Jurassic Park) as well as current films. Really friendly staff and good prices! The seat recline but don’t push back. V comfy tho. You order food and drinks to your seat via QR code which is super convenient. The staff does walk around the theater a lot dropping off food but they are pretty quiet. Overall, great place to see movies!

I love this place we have been going got years. I refuse to give five stars because they recent were purchased by Sony who changed some fundamental and charming things about the theater. Before they had more food options and better food. They also have no switched to QR code only order which saves Sony money but takes away from the charm and fun the theater. Please bring back more gluten free options, actual menus and interaction with the kind and amazing staff. Sony please don’t ruin this staple in downtown Los Angeles. No more enshitification!

The magic is lost. The QR code experience is tedious and tiresome, makes it all feel cheap. I used to delight in the menu and now it’s a chore. Eating experience has gone downhill and that was the whole point of choosing the Alamo. Damn those seats are comfy though. Fries need work like be serious. Burger is solid. Take Dramamine for the parking garage.
