SMG combines first-run movies and event cinema, with in-theater dining from an extensive American Grill menu and full-service bar. At the push of a button, place your order with an SMG team member directly from your seat and have your food and beverages delivered before and during the show.

Enjoying SMG is easy. Here are some helpful tips on how to SMG: Purchase tickets online or at the theater. We encourage guests to arrive 20 minutes prior to show time. If seating hasn't begun for your movie, please enjoy a cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage from our lobby bar until seating is announced. Once seated, service is available by pushing your Service Button, conveniently located at every seat, table or counter. Our team is trained to deliver your order to your seat without compromising your viewing experience or interrupting other guests. You can order from our menu as often as you like throughout the movie. Towards the end of the movie, we will drop your check for payment. Enjoy your show!

SMG provides four different types of seating for your experience (not all seating styles are available at each location). Table A and B seats share a table surface that offer either a desk style chair or stationary chair option. Counter-top seats share a counter space for all parties on that row and offer a desk style chair option. The lounge seat with a tray table is a stationary chair that include a built-in tray table as well as a more expansive seating area. The reclining lounge seat with a tray table is a stationary chair that include a built-in tray table and the ability to power recline your chair. A matter of personal preference, all four seating options provide an exceptional dining and viewing experience and vary by location.

Your bank may authorize a pending charge which unfortunately we cannot remove nor can we call in on your behalf as the credit card companies will not share account information with non-account holders such as the merchant. This charge should drop off your account within 2-5 business days. In the event multiple charges do post to your account, please contact Guest Services by clicking here.
