I love this place! I feel like I traveled back in time! Gotta go, my movie starts in 5 minutes...

This is a nice alternate space for preview screenings that is off the grid from the typical theaters where tv or movie screenings are held.
Came here to see a free screening of an upcoming season of "Pretty Little Liars", and the co-sponsors Refinery29's team were very precise with the check-in process and super friendly.
As soon as you walk-in they had sweets for us to choose from as well as warm buttery pop-corn and when we arrived at our seats a free t-shirt with the name of the show.
We also had a surprise guest appearance by the two main actresses from the original show, Sasha Pierterse and Janel Parrish who spoke briefly on the upcoming season of the spin-off show.
The auditorium provided for viewing of this show was very good with high quality sound system, to my surprise.
The bathrooms are also very different from a typical movie-theater bathroom and had very nice paper towels to dry off those wet hands.
Overall experience here was great! Look forward to visiting again for another premier. -

Food portions were a tad on the small side. The lamb chops I ordered barely had any meat on them and there were only two, with no side. Pistachio salad was underwhelming. Cute concept and space, but wouldn't recommend it for the food, maybe just for drinks.

Bae and I had quite the adventure at metrograph! I can't believe it doesn't have more reviews! Anyway let me tell y'all about our night...
When u walk in it's cozy and hip with a really cool vibe.
We were planning to see a 9:15 movie so we decided to check out the restaurant first. We ordered the citrus salad, the Mac and cheese, and the chicken to share. Our waitress was amazing and so nice and she timed it perfectly to bring each course out on its own so that we would still make the movie!!! She really made sure we had a great dinner experience
Yes the food is pricey but it was really good, (granted I was on an edible, but my bf wasn't and he enjoyed it just as much) and the experience of getting to eat and then just go down to your movie is def worth it in my opinion. The salad was fresh and unique, I've never had a salad like that before. It had pieces of really good fruit and salty pistachios and fresh green and all the flavors together were good.
The mac and cheese doesn't look super crazy when it's brought out but it's REALLY GOOD. It's actually hard to find good Mac in the city that has enough FLAVOR but these guys killed it!! They make the pasta crispy in some spots and it's very cheesy and packed with flavor and the longer it sits the better it gets!!
The chicken was super tender and juicy. You can tell these guys know how to cook a chicken!!! It was on a very yummy sauce with lil yummy potatoes.
In the end I think the bill was around 65$ with the tip. It's a lot yea. But hey life is short and we wanted to eat before our movie!!! I probably wouldn't spend that much again but I wouldn't say it wasn't worth it and I wouldn't say it's not worth doing it once or twice if you have a movie coming after.
Because this is the coolest part!!! Going downstairs to pick out your snacks before the movie!! Initially I was bummed that they didn't have "real movie theatre popcorn" or concessions but this is the coolest
Concession stand I've ever seen. Their house made popcorn looks pretty basic but it's covered in olive oil and salt and it's literally better than typical movie theatre popcorn. DONT SKIP IT!
They also have every candy you can imagine AND every flavor of pocky AND BIG POCKY AND BIG TWIZZLERS
AND AN ENTIRE FROZEN SECTION WITH YES FROZEN CHOCOLATE, POCKY, M&Ms etc
And tons of yummy drinks!! I mean I couldn't believe it. It's a candy and movie lovers heaven!!
We got one popcorn, sour gummy bears, a water, and 2 boxes of frozen pocky for 25$. Again, it's a lot. But I love to experience life and to me that was worth it! (The privilege is real)
Then for the reason you came!! The movie!! The theaters are intimate and cozy (you have to be quiet!) and the screens are big with great sound. Nothing like settling into a movie while your edible is kicking in hard eating pocky sticks two at a time ;)
So overall, we spent around 120$ on a movie night for us both and dinner. Really not so bad.

4 stars is for the cauliflower cake and caesar salad. Otherwise, the rest of the food is meat or not that interesting. The space is pretty cool. I've had mixed service here. Been here maybe 5 times and I've had a really rushed and unengaged server and I've also had appropriately attentive and friendly servers. I would recommend you try this place.
