Citysearch Editorial Review. Movie-goers dine and get comfy in a theater resembling a house from the outside but with colorful modern couches and roll-away chairs surrounding round tables while watching foreign and independent flicks on the big screen. The venue is also home of the Florida Film Festival, which is a 10-day celebration featuring food and wine events, chefs, celebrities, 150 films from over 30 countries, forums and panel discussions. The movie theater also showcases smaller themed fests throughout the year.

Its table setting and dedication to independent film make for a totally unique moviegoing experience.. Overview
Not so much a theater, but a restaurant that shows movies. You sit at tables (four tiers have been set up to provide clear views) and are served food and drink by a seasoned and friendly waitstaff. There is no obligation to order anything, though the theater does have a full menu of gourmet food (some dishes are better than others) and a modest beer and wine list.

The Experience
An unflinching dedication to independent and art-house film. Woody Allen is about as mass-market as it gets. Home to the Florida Film Festival, a 10-day independent film-o-rama that screens nearly 100 films, as well as several smaller showcases and events, like fundraisers. A particularly popular event is the theater's autumnal Southeast Asian Film Festival, a weekend-long celebration of Asian visions and cultures.
