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."
At Cobb Theatres, their mission is simple, they are committed to being the leader in providing the ultimate entertainment experience while maintaining family values and integrity. They are an innovative dining and movie experience all rolled into one! The perfect place for date night, their interiors are intimate, upscale, relaxing and inviting. The cuisine is created and prepped by experienced chefs, from Butter Poached Lobster on Brioche with Truffled Fries to gluten free choices like Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon on Lemon Whipped Potatoes with Smoky Bacon Collards, Sautéed Shrimp, Tomatoes and a delicious Avocado-Key Lime Butter Sauce they have it all, including favorites like Nestle Crunch bars and Popcorn too!
CineBistro doesn't just open the doors in hopes you will buy a ticket, stand in line at the concession and herd you through like a bunch of sheep, they pamper you. True to their commitment to providing the absolute best movie-going experience, they offer the highest-quality audio and visual presentation, unsurpassed comfort and outstanding customer service. Which brings us back to the staff! They only employ the best chefs and strive to train staff in every aspect of their jobs. As much as they want you to be happy and enjoy YOUR experience at CineBistro they also want staff to enjoy their roles. They know the people providing you the best experience need to know they are supported. So not only do they focus on you, the consumer, they also maintain a high morale among staff knowing a well-supported staff will translate into the best possible experience for you, the movie-goer! Are you like us, do you go to the movies often? If so you should check out Cobb's “Frequent Moviegoer Program”. It rewards members with movie tickets and concession items and keeps you informed about special events like their wine dinners, bourbon dinners, and more! Do you have kids who love movies? After 6 PM CineBistro is 21+ only, however, they do offer a family series at the Hyde Park location where children can accompany their parents to the theater for special screenings scheduled before 6 PM. During these special family-friendly events the brilliant chefs at CineBistro offer a special kid's menu for children 12 and under along with their normal MENU.
