7 Reviews for Farrelli's Cinema Supper Club
This place has it all...
1) Drinks - A wonderful bar area to relax with a cocktail and chat before dinner.
2) Dinner - A great menu from affordable sandwiches, to fish and steak, and even desert. You get cute little buzzers to summon the waiter during the movie.
3) Movie - A great view of the screen from wherever you dine, and comfortable tables. Plus, the movies are relatively new releases.
Two thumbs up!!!

You can't spell Fun without an F. And in this case, the F stands for Farrelli's. Talk about a great way to spend an evening!
I ain't gonna lie. You can easily rack up a pretty lofty bill, especially when you're ordering wine by the glass and $9.50 appetizers that taste too good to be true. My fave has to be the Garlic Shrimp Pizza, though it was a tad too greasy. Also good: Baked Brie L' Orange and the Fruit/Cheese plate.
Farrelli's offers a large drink selection, including featured cocktails and seasonal beers. But, for the wine lover, you'll be happily pleased to see their expansive wine list. You can buy by the glass or the bottle. Prices start at 7 and go up to 9.50 for their suggested Earthquake Cab. I had a glass of that (very good), as well as the Round Hill Cab, which I preferred.
A movie will cost ya $8.50. But seriously, it's not the price that matters. It's the experience.
Picture this: You place a simple phone call into Farrelli's and tell them you want to make a reservation for (insert time here) for (this many people here). They put your name on the list, then advise you to arrive 30 minutes before showing so they can seat you and take your order. You are welcome to arrive even sooner and take a seat in their bar, which boasts pictures of Hollywood stars, including the timeless Marilyn Monroe.
The theater itself feels more like a larger lounge area, with a movie screen. You sit in comfortable leather chairs at a round table.
Best thing of all? You can simply push a button during the movie and your server will answer. What is it that you needed? No worries.
At the end of the movie, you get a bill, much like at a restaurant. You can split it up however you feel like it. My close friend said, "Don't be alarmed by the bill." Thanks for the warning, for between the three of us, it was $125 w/o tip. I guess every once in a while you just need to spoil yourself, right?
If you go with someone (or a few someones) and you all can agree on a wine to order, I suggest ordering a bottle. It's the one piece of advice I'd bestow on anyone going here. Also, no need to dress to the 9's. This place will welcome you in jeans and chucks!
Farrelli's is a great experience. I recommend it for everyone - friends, family, a date. The movies they offer here aren't new releases, but they manage. (Be forewarned: Their "advertisements" at the start of the film are hideous. We're talking center alignment with ugly font and sentences that never end... Oy vey.)
I will definitely be back!

Farrelli's Cinema Supper Club is exactly what the name would imply... a place to have dinner/drinks while eating dinner. The unspoken part is that it is FUN.
Management requests that you make reservations and it helps to secure a good seat. You place your order before the movie starts and receive your food during the previews. The staff is helpful, and operates very quietly throughout the film.
The movies are second-run. During a recent newsletter, ownership explained that the market power of the multiplex (Harkin's) prevents them from getting the first run movies. The selection is good. They generally show 4-6 movies and I have seen Casino Royale, Blades of Glory, POTC: Black Pearl and Spiderman III there.
The food is good, but a little pricey. I always order the Chicken Farrelli (chicken, artichokes, potatoes) which is phenomenal. The menu includes appewtizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches and entrees.
For something a little different and BETTER than the multiplex, try Farrelli's.

I went to see the 5 p.m. showing of "Evan Almighty" recently and had a fun experience. The theatre is unlike any movie theatre I've ever been to and I love that you can order dinner and cocktails during the screening. The menu is large and diverse and there's even a children's menu. This is a good place for families and couples. It's not ideal for a night out with the girls.

My brothers friend's family owns this place so of course I think it's great. I have been here with my family and we had a fun time. The concept of Farrelli's is to enjoy a movie while eating dinner. As a person who plans out everything I really like the idea. Farrelli's has a awesome atmosphere that looks like an old fashioned movie theater with a fancy dining room instead of seats. The reason I give Farelli's four stars is because the OK food was a bit over my price range. Still a fun place to go from time to time!

Okay, I have to admit... I did not want to go here. The mere thought of eating dinner while watching a film among other diners... I have enough trouble getting idiots to shut up when I'm at a normal theater...
But was I pleasantly surprised. The menu is varied, and the food is good, but not great. I've had the teriyaki steak and the shrimp fettucine, and both really hit the spot. The films are not first run, but are what you would expect from ppv or out on video, but you get to see it on the big screen. And all in all, it was quieter than when I go Harkins or Loews or any of the other theaters.

I fully agree with Bil Z. --- the food is a little overpriced and not worthy of 5 stars, but the concept of this restaurant / movie theater makes up for it many times over. It's surprising there aren't more of these places around. The food is on par with typical 4 star hotel (Hilton, Hyatt, etc.) restaurants both in terms of quality and price. The decor is reminiscent of art deco style theaters. Sound and projection quality doesn't compare to a large chain, but the intimate atmosphere makes up for it. Here's a tip -- go to restaurant.com and you can usually find coupons for $25 off which can be purchased for $5-$10. Enjoy!
