Very nice atmosphere but that's what you're gonna pay $$$ for. Food wasn't that great and way overpriced. Seating for the movie on the second level is well worth the little bit extra. Save money and skip Bogarts though.

So, after a long day of flying into Chicago from Boston. We were really hungry. We had a 2 two hour delay from Logan. And the time change always messes me up. So, we asked the concierge at aloft as to where to eat. The first thing he said to us is do you want a steakhouse. There was a Morton's nearby. We, told him we wanted a reasonable price restaurant. So, he recommended Bogarts. Bogarts is a restaurant in a movie theater. Just like SCL at Patriot Place. However, we have them beat. SCL at Patriot Place is better. It is a cool concept but the food is not good. The free bread was good and so was the spinach artichoke dip. However, it comes with bread and not chips. It must be a Midwest thing. I asked the waiter for recommendations and his choices did not look appealing. I tried the braised beef. That was one of his choices. It tasted good but I was feeling it in a few hours. It just sat in my stomach like a brick. And it was still there int he morning. Wifey got a horrible crab cake sandwich. And my father in law got chicken and pasta. It looked liked it was made my lean cuisine. No, one liked there food. So, stay away. Come to Patriot Place if you to eat dinner at a movie theater. Can not wait till Legacy Place opens. SCL is opening there too.

The food wasn't so great. I ordered the shrimp penne. It was more soup-like. Too much cream and no flavor. My bf ordered the fish and chips. I wasn't very fond of it but he liked it. But i did enjoy the fries.

I have to echo the sentiments of other patrons. What a horrible experience. We arrived at 6:00 with reservations with a 7:30 movie time. We were seated promptly. Our drink order was taken fairly quicky, it too awhile for the one drink order, a martini. Then it took another little while for us to be able to place our order. Note there were many empty tables but I hardly ever saw my waitress and when I did she was too far away to get her attention. After we placed our order it took over 15 minutes to get crab cakes. At this point I thought ok, we have some time it should be ok. Our dirty plates sat on our table for about 30 minutes. at 6:50 the waitress came by asked if we wanted a drink, picked up the dirty plates, when I had to ask where is our dinner? we ordered a burger and sliders (not complicated).My husband was getting testy and irritated (did I mention this was our date night?). She gave us some line about how they were so busy with so many reservations yet scanning the room there had to be at least 8 empty tables. She said she would check the kitchen. I then saw the table next to us, who were seated after us recive their dinner. So 10 minutes later or so, its a few after 7 pm, here comes our food, The sliders were way overcooked and my burger that was supposed have mushrooms but they weren't provided. We also ordered a side of sauteed mushrooms which didn't arrive. We sent back the sliders and my husband and I shared the burger. Before the waitress left we asked for the check and expressed our displeasure. A few minutes later she came and said the manager would be over (that she came to us quick for), Now my evening is just about ruined as my husband is steaming. She offered that we could go to our movie and they would give us a buzzer and we could come out and get the food...you can't serve my food in the restaurant but I should leave the movie to come and get it? ...really? And did I mention in the hour and 20 minutes we were there no one came over and filled my water glass...which was the only thing I was drinking. The manager comes over and apologizes again with the 'we are so busy' and yet still there are many empty tables. My husband explains the concept of capacity planning. We had a groupon and she offered to credit the bill and we could order drinks...really? We declined, she gave us $30.00 in Bogart bucks and if we use them it will be to get a drink AFTER a movie. No second chances here, there definitely needs to be a serious change in management at this place.

Been here a few times and food is always ok, nothing exiting, last night food was ok again, but If I was you I would double check your plates, I got a used plate for my appetizers, talked to a the manager she waived the bill, but thats not the point, once you get a dirty, used plated, I can assure you, not even free dinner can make up for it.

I was there this past Friday (October 19, 2012). My friend and I informed the waiter that we were in a hurry as we were going to the theater. He advised us that appetizers took about 15-20 minutes. The appetizers, nachos and pretzels, took almost 40 minutes. Totally unacceptable. We ended up taking them to go and eating them in the car on the way to the theater. On the plus, they were good, although it would have been nice to have the sauces for the pretzels.

Went here today for an association meeting and the space was really nice. Upon entering I wondered how they would pull off such a large meeting but once I entered the back room all my questions were answered. It's a great room for a small to medium sized lunch and the old school movie posters and flat screen playing old movies (silenced) created a cool atmosphere. the food was excellent! Chicken and pesto sandwiches with homemade potato chips and tomato basil soup...all executed very well. However beverage service was kind of odd. Part served, part help yourself so maybe a brush up on that is needed All in all a great experience and definitely a place to look at for a different meeting experience.

Great place to go for a dinner and a movie all in the same place. Had the fish and chips for dinner and it was very good, def need a splash of lemon (my own preference). My girlfriend had the Chicken Alfredo which she liked as well. We both had the chocolate martinis, they were $12.50 each but well worth the $$$. Overall a great experience. David L. was our server. He was great always had an eye on our table. Will definitely be back.

Booooooooo. Not at all what it should be. Considering how awesome the Premier experience is at the Muvico, you'd hope they'd have a restaurant to match their sophistication. Wrong-o. My Santa Fe chicken salad was decent but absolutely nothing special--I think I prefer the Corner Bakery's version, in fact. The man's flatbread pizza did NOT look appetizing. This is saying a lot, because if you call it pizza, there's a 99.9% chance I'll eat it and LIKE it. He said it was soggy and gross. Blech. They had a decent list of signature cocktails--I ordered the Havana, with vodka, orange juice, banana and strawberry liquors. Hello, drunk! It was big and strong and WHOA , slightly overwhelming. While I appreciated the kick in the pants, I didn't appreciate the stealing of my wallet--$12.50 for a g-d cocktail! I refuse to pay that in the CITY! This is the BURBS! Get it straight! You are not the Violet Hour! Sorry for my rampage, but that was a no-no. Our waiter didn't know what red pepper flakes were. End of story.

food is just ok, they took 40 mins to bring us a second drink ridiculous. Then we were given a free desert which we didn't want and it was terrible. Just an awful dining experience its a shame to because this place has potential

Do not waste your time and money. We decided to pay extra to sit in the reserved seats where you can do one of two things. You can eat at the restaurant beforehand and then see the movie. Or order your food and watch the movie while eating. We decided to watch and eat. There were no tables to put your food down. The food was expensive and not good. BEWARE: They tell you that you get free popcorn with the reserved seating when in actuality you are charged for the "free" popcorn. They say the price included the popcorn and free valet. Parking is free anyway. I thought we were going to get special treatment here. The restaurant part is a joke, however the theater is nice so I suggest going into just the theater part like any other theater. If you want the "eat dinner while watching a movie" experience I recommend going to Hollywood Blvd. in Woodridge. Much better.

We wanted to treat some family members to a VIP movie experience and after our 2nd time eating here, I think I would much rather eat first at Giordanos or Harry Careys in Rosemont, which are just up River Road a ways, or at Mortons before a movie. For a couple drinks before a movie, the bar here seems fine. The food is not very special at all, and the main thing going for them is the convenience of location. I did really love how I could get an entire Ben+Jerry's pint for the movie. What a splurge! The only thing that would make this the BEST movie experience is if we could bring our dogs to snuggle with us on the loveseats in the VIP section.

Terrible! I ordered the stuffed chicken breast. It was overcooked, under-seasoned & dry...definitely NOT worth $16.95! My brother ordered the braised beef & it was very bland. My 2 friends ordered the turkey club & chicken tenders and both were disappointed. The waitress told us the turkey club used real turkey and not the slimy deli turkey my friend DIDN'T want. Guess what slimy surprise she got? The frozen Ore-Ida-like fries didn't help matters. KEEP YOUR MONEY!!! Although one would think that Bogart's would provide high quality food, it does NOT. Eat at Morton's instead (the prices are comparable, the quality & reputation is better), or get food at the regular concession stand on the ground floor of Muvico (there is an elevator to Premier from there).

This rating is based on a single meal at Bogart's last Saturday afternoon. I was in Rosemont and decided to check out Muvico Theater. I love Showplace Icon in Chicago and rarely go to the suburbs to see a movie, but I had read about Muvico and wanted to see how it compared. Since I arrived early and was hungry, I decided to try Bogart's(which is connected to the theater) before the movie. My expectations were pretty low after reading the Yelp reviews, so I was blown away by the Bogart Burger! I ordered it medium with extra onions and that is the way it came. It was easily the best burger I have had in years - hot and juicy and served with really tasty fries. Way better burger than any casual restaurant I've had in Chicago and at the same price. I had it with a icy cold glass of draft beer - the glass was a foot tall. Best theater meal ever. Unlike Icon, they don't serve you at your seat, but the burger was so good it didn't matter. I ate at the bar, but there is table service or you can order the food packaged to take into the theater. If you are ticketed at one of the Premier theaters upstairs, you can also take alcohol to your seat. If not, only food and soft drinks downstairs. btw - The Muvico theater itself is great. The seats are bigger than any Chicago theater I have ever seen - and I have been to at least 25 movie theaters in the area. Add in the free parking and this would easily be my go-to theater if it were closer to the city.

Had a disappointing experience here last night. Sat down and it took at least 10 mins to be approached by a waiter. Not a busy night and lots of servers available. When he did arrive he was fine, and asked us when our movie was - we were going to the downstairs theater. So, dude KNOWS that we have a specific window of time, which was ONE HOUR. For real, man. I think he altogether forgot the cake we ordered and even though we had plenty of time when we actually placed our order with him, my friend had to literally get up from her seat (none of the waitstaff we attempted to flag down would pay any attention to us) to get some help when we realized we were getting close to the movie time. At that point we needed to get it in a to-go container, which is not the way to eat warm cake with a scoop of ice cream. All of the waitstaff just seemed like half-wits and I recognize that's a hard job b/c I've done it. But it's all about service, so pay attention to your customers and stop getting distracted with god knows what. It's your job. Additionally, if I'm paying substantial money for anything at all, I expect quality. Learn how to make a cappuccino vs a latte vs Americano or any other espresso drink, or just DON'T serve them. Seriously, they just butchered that altogether. Just skip this place and find a place to eat in the vicinity.

I'm sooooo disappointed! I gave this restaurant three different times to redeem themselves and... nothin! Each time I've gone they've messed up our orders, they take too long despite the fact that the place looks empty, and the menu is completely inaccurate. Each item lists what it comes with... so you pick & choose from there (ie, no onions, etc)... but when your food arrives there are things on there that aren't listed on the menu. Example: Bogart's Burger says it comes with "shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato and pickle chips" and you can "add cheddar and bacon". I ordered the burger with cheddar, but no pickles... what I received was the burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mustard, mayo, bacon... but no cheese. When I told the server that I didn't like all that stuff, he looked rather perturbed and took it back. All they did was take off the bacon and slap some cheese on it. My son ordered the Cheeseburger sliders that - according to the menu - come with "lettuce, tomatoes, shaved onions, & Cheddar cheese". When he received them, they had lettuce and mayo. Unfortunely, he doesn't like mayo so they had to re-do those as well. Keep in mind that this was just the most recent trip to Bogart's. The other two times were just as unpleasant. The Muvico Theatre itself is nice. Save the money and just see the movie downstairs and get stuff from the concession. The items there are pretty good. You might have to wait a bit, but you won't get nearly as frustrated as at Bogart's.

Don't waste your money on the food in this restaurant. Instead, treat yourself to popcorn and nachos from the concessions. The food was crap and the service SLOW. Our food came out in a timely manner, but the drink service took forever. Our server seemed overwhelmed by the amount of tables she had, even though it wasn't a lot. I also don't understand why they ask what time your show starts if that info isn't communicated with the waitstaff. All in all, def go to this theater-it's great, especially getting an assigned comfy seat, but don't waste your money on the restaurant!

I went on Christmas Eve before my movie and I had an amazing dinner and an amazing server! I made an online reservation (I didn't need it). I would do online reservations again because I'm sure they do get busy. Since it wasn't crowded, I got seated at a table by the balcony. The decor is nice, kinda like a nicer theater/old Hollywood feel, but not like a planet Hollywood type of decor. The server was attentive and patient and very down to earth. I like how they ask you when your movie is just in case you lose track of time & don't miss your movie. The specialty martini was yummy , the appetizer was delicious and dinner was so damn good I want some now!!!! The price in my opinion was about what you would pay at most restaurants in the area & my dinner was huge! So I think it's a good price for what you get. I really enjoyed eating there before my movie. I think I will make it a habit to eat there more often before my movies.

Decided to come here for my birthday dinner when Sugar Factory was a total disappointment. Was immediately greeted by a friendly/talkative host. I didn't have to argue to get a booth, and despite it being the server's first day everything went perfect!! The hawaiian burger and crisp caesar salad were to die for!!!It's rare to find a restaurant with prime beef burgers! However, the complimentary dessert that was served, all i would recommend would be to use a fresher cookie or warm it up.Loved the quick, friendly and quiet atmosphere. Will definitely come back soon! Affordable too!

Love the fact that this is mainly adult's only and the concessions upstairs have a nice selection make sure you try the caramel fries...yum! You can't use your rewards upstairs boooo! I like that fact that can have a relaxing movie date night with a little booze. The staff upstairs in the concessions were really nice and helpful. Also entertaining while waiting 10 minutes for my fries... but so worth the wait!

Seife Z.
We came here on Friday. Service was good. Food was nice. We had the quesadilla. Though in the appetizer section, it was very filling. The only downside about this place is if you sit in front of the bar, you are sitting on a major passage way for the movie/bar goers right next to the restaurant. Then you would have chaotic dinner which we had. So find a place inside the restaurant, there are seats farther away from the crowd.

Service and food horrible. Service Waiter took 20 minutes to greet us and it was completely dead, probably only 3 tables sat where we were sitting Wife has problem with food, manager is quick to take it off the bill(not so bad) Another problem with the entree my wife got the waiter brings us our drinks she asks him something he walks away without even acknowledging my wife Spent about 2 hours there most of that time was spent waiting for the waiter Food Calamari tastes and feels like rubber Tacos that were skirt steak tastes like ground beef, but not terrible Chopped salad was average, more so shredded not chopped. Can't really mess up a salad too much Steak was average. Seasoned vegetables are like squash and zucchini only, which normally it's broccoli carrots and that but no. Baby potatoes looked like what I would find in my cats litter box and just tasted like pure salt. Death by chocolate was ok. Nothing fantastic. Not impressed.

Get the Smokey Burger. Medium Rare. Even if you don't pay for the 21+ at Muvico you can order food to-go and take into the Downstairs Theater. Best Food at any Movie Theater! I'll be back for the 21+ Premiere for the Next Box Office Hit. For now, I'm About to watch the latest X-Men movie.

Jacob J.
For a restaurant at the movie theater it's A-OK. I don't feel that much of their food should be priced in the double digits but this is also the dining service for those choosing to sit in the "adult themed" seats which typically start in the twenty dollar range. Also they are trying to maintain an upscale theme here. So, people can and do order steaks in the movie theater, however I have never nor could I. Food is pretty average but if you can get them to create your favorite cocktail or martini, those are decent for their price. Service is usually good depending on whether it's an opening weekend or not. I tend not to visit too often and that's mainly because I've had it and while the people watching can be fun, there's not much else to the food or experience.

Went to Bogarts before the movie. I love their Fish & Chips so ordered them again tonight. Ordered a new appetizer, the Tequlia Lime Large Chicken Wings. GREAT Taste definitely a must when there1 The taste is great. The Fish & Chips were good usual. My wife had he steak & fish tacos. If the steak was any preview the Carne Asada maybe I will break my habit. Service was very good and quick. Great start to date Night. If you go Definitely try the Tequila & Lime large chicken wings. The right amount of mix & heat. Used the remaining sauce on my Fish too.

Good eats. decent price. If you are sitting in the VIP seating, get your beers at the bogarts bar not the little popcorn area. Our server was very nice and made it enjoyable. especially when he over heard us talking about custom jello shots and politely informed us they sell jello shots there for a buck... yes please.

I agree with most reviews as this place has pretty terrible over priced food BUT we came here last night for a beer before our movie and had a 22oz. $6 Peroni on draft! Our server was very accommodating, I wish I knew her name! The only thing that bothered me was overhearing some creeper 38 yr old server asking a younger server if she was going to bring back any of her college friends for him to meet...EW!!! She seemed so skeeved out..AS WAS I.

I have been here several times and I always have a great experience. The wait staff is always friendly and times our meals perfectly with the movie time. I love the food here, the arugala salad is simple but amazing the quesadilla app is super yummy and my husband loves the carne asada. The menu is not huge but everything is great! On my most reason visit my husband and I came to the bar for a drink before our movie. The bartender was great, plesant and helpful. My husband thought he wanted to try this new beer they had and she offered him a sample first stating "it's really hopp-y so I don't want you to order the whole one and not like it." She was right! It sounded as though it would be good but it was really not so he was able to order something else instead. The bar menu is huge! They have lots of martini options which I love and a good beer selection. Even if you don't want to pay to sit in the premire theater seats they are nice and timely. I LOVE this place. Best place in Rosemont to eat and drink at.

Came here with a groupon and was sent from the ticket office to first floor guest services to pick up our tickets. Then we had to go to second floor guest services to get our valet ticket stamped. Had dinner prior to the show, arrived at Bogarts with one hour to spare. Although the restaurant did not look crowded, the service was slower than expected. Not many food choices, but drink menu was pretty large. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were pretty good. The rice on the side tasted like what I imagine microwave rice to be, the kernels were unevenly cooked and many of them were hard, like plastic. The side of beans was very tasty though. My husband ordered fish and chips. They looked burnt and had a lot of breading on them. He took one bite and said they were not good, too salty. He ended up eating the fries and one of my tacos. All in all, not a place I would visit without a groupon...and even then I'll have to think twice.

Edgar D.
Let me begin by saying that the decor is nice, although it kind of feels like you're in the lobby of a hotel or a casino, not a classy restaurant. Maybe it's all the carpeting. Overall, the food was decent if not overpriced. Even with the Groupon I used. If I return to watch a movie at Muvico, I don't think I'd return to here because I don't think the prices match the quality of the food. However, I will admit the customer service was good.
(3)
Amanda G.
Triple, eh! Sure, the waitress was great. Sure, the people watching can be quite entertaining. Sure, the vino is quite alright. The food?!? Greasy and not the best quality. We had the fried calamari, which was extra greasy and chewy. The turkey burger was not freshly made and overly salted. The french fries were ok, but a bit well done. The salad was a salad, nothing to write home about. As for the prices, super expensive when compared to the culinary experience. The theater is a great experience, but the kitchen should think of ways to revamp the menu, so the movie goers would like to enjoy there time at the theater that much longer.

Anyone seen our waiter? Boy I really wanted to dislike this place considering the reviews I saw at a glance and the OBVIOUS smell of someone who had just finished a cigarette in the bathroom. Yes, our waiter was slow at first, but he did get better. This was a Groupon experience- movie, 2 drinks, an appetizer and 2 main courses. We actually had a third person and we were all well fed on what was brought out. Teriyaki boneless wings (don't mix well with ranch or blue cheese) and some of the longest celery sticks I've ever seen as a side. Fish & chips and a meat lovers pizza. Both were good. The pizza was a bit greasy, but considering it had a lot of meat (oh, and no cheese) on it, what would you expect? We had a good time. I'd go again, especially with a Groupon. Why are there so many cops walking through here? Seriously: 3 were standing around by the restrooms and several walked through the bar.

After multiple visits, I really want to be able to leave a good review. I just can't. My wife and I often come to the Muvico for the Nick Digilio Film Club events. Usually we get a couple of drinks and some garlic cheese bread at the bar at Bogart's before heading into the theater. The first time we were here in August 2012, we arrived at 7:30 for an 8:00 movie. Amazingly, it ended up being enough time for us to be seated, order, get our food and eat most of it before the movie started. I had the prime steak sliders, which were pretty good. The last couple times we've been here, I have ordered garlic cheese bread at the bar. It typically arrives either without any cheese, or with far too much garlic. Last night, we arrived a little before 7:00, which we figured would be plenty of time for us to eat before the movie. Despite there being plenty of available tables, there was a good-sized line when we arrived. Host staff was taking far too long to seat individual groups of two. The only highlight was our waitress, Reema, who was completely helpful and courteous through the entire experience. We were seated by 7:05 and placed our order by 7:15. My wife ordered a veggie burger, and I ordered the street style steak tacos. Our food finally arrived at 7:50. There is really no excuse for the kitchen to take 35 minutes to put together a veggie burger and some tacos. To the credit of our waitress, she came by at 7:40 to let us know that it would be a little while longer. We weren't thrilled, but we appreciated her telling us. I was planning on ordering a second beer to take into the theater (even at $7 each, which is a little much), but at this point I decided against it. My taco tortillas were not as crispy as they should have been; I have had better tacos at our local Mexican take-out place for half the price. I still tipped our waitress appropriately, because it's not her fault the kitchen sucks. To be clear, the theater on its own is great, and I have no complaints about our experiences there. Bogart's has been disappointing. I can't see us ordering food here again.

We went here with a Groupon deal. We had drinks before and after, including dinner after. The atmosphere was great. The food was also good but was looking for more of a selection. We would likely go here again but might try out some appetizers next time.

Calamari was not good at all. Bison burgers were great. Service was excellent. Ok place to grab a bite if you are seeing a movie and don't have much time but there are so many other great restaurants in the area so if you have the time I would choose another place.

Chirag P.
had a good experience here, our waitress was great, kept checking on us and was just very friendly and helpful with the menu selections. Get the spinach artichoke dip which our waitress said was the best app, we didn't get any burgers, but my wife and i both had the flatbread pizzas. I had the fajita one and she had the tomato basil. Not sure where some folks call this place "pricey" as the flatbreads were about $10, the dip was $7, pretty normal if you ask me. Overall the place is nice, being a restaurant inside a movie theater, I'm not expecting too much, but this place reminded me of some of those Vegas restaurants where you can watch all the guest traffic on one side, and the restaurant and booths are wrapped around. Not a bad place for dining in a theater, I'm not expecting some amazing restaurant experience here, so I think going in with that mentality does help too.

You have to try the Steak Kabob, so yummies! Full Bar, if you don't finish you food or drinks not to worry you can always take them into the theater and finish there. Muvico is all RSVP seating so your seat will be waiting for you...

Bad food. The shrimp tacos were bad. The burger I had was was bad. For the money, I rather eat at a decent restaurant and Then go to the movies! I get the concept, but someone has to taste the food and say "we can do a lot better"! Please do better!

Weird. Movie: Got a gift of a groupon for 2 VIP movie tix and a meal with drinks. VIP movie part was odd. Had to see like 5 different people to get into the movie. Had to get movie tickets at guest services not at the regular register, pick reserved seats, get popcorn at a special counter, show tickets to 2 different check points, sit in ridiculously oversized chairs. Restaurant: Weird. Looks like a restaurant at an all-inclusive resort, trying to be nice but feels more like a theme park. You seat yourselves even though there is no sign telling you to do so. Therefore people end up wandering around asking how to get a table. Drink menu consists of about 1,000 girly martinis. Food: Meh. Started with calamari- very overcooked, rubber bands. Husband had a steak. Asked for it medium but it was so thin that it ended up being very well done. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was pretty good. Service: Our waitress was very nice but they were so understaffed service ended up being terrible. Had to ask for water twice, drinks took about 15 min, didn't get lemons for calamari despite asking, didn't get steak knife for steak, tables sat unbussed for an hour, a phone kept ringing since no one had time to answer it. Waitress was apologetic but I'm just glad we did not pay for this experience.

Me and my boyfriend come here once in a while when we go to Muvico but in my opinion it's a little over priced. I would recommend it to people if they have nowhere else to go but it's only for convenience. The staff is friendly but I wouldn't recommend coming here less than forty minutes before your show because for some reason everything takes a tad bit longer to make at this place. It doesn't bother me when I'm just lounging around but it does get annoying when we miss a movie.

$12 for a cocktail but there is certainly $12 worth of booze in each drink. The foor is pricey. Take the nachos off the menu, they must be made by the movie theatre concession stand. Stale chips, cheese sauce, canned chili, just awful. They redeemed themselves with the steak sliders, yummmmm. Service is slow, like repeated empty cocktail between visits slow. Near they end they came up and asked 'what time is your show'. That should be question one here. When I said we wanted to leave, could they bring the check, it took 10-15 minutes. So it is a 1 or 2 star place but making a $12 drink with $12 worth of booze deserves a bump. Oh, and they put us in a booth with a TV and changed it so we could watch the Blackhawks play, that is worth something.

I don't really care for this place. I had fabulous expectations when we bought the groupon and when I looked at their menu online. But when we sat down and got the menu I was immediately disappoInted. The menu was very limited, and things that we saw that looked so delicious online were no longer availible because as the waiter said "they changed the menu". We both ordered burgers because... We didn't see anything else that looked like it would be as good and they had pictures of the burgers online (which looked thick, juicy, and scrumptious ). But again disappointment set in. When the burgers arrived they looked the same even thought we ordered two totally different burgers. Mine was even supposed to come with a wheat bun but it didn't, and they were definitely not thick and juicy like the picture showed. This place really needs to update their menu do customers aren't disappointed and expecting something better than what they're really gonna get. The whole reason why we drove out here to this place was because of a combo groupon for Muvico and this restaurant. It sounded like a great deal til Muvico told us the movies we could see was limited, and til we saw the menu and the food. The movie theatre was nice with its loveseats and whatnot, but I like to movies I actually want to see. In conclusion, I probably won't return for either.

Had a late lunch of fish tacos. Really tasty, filling and fast. The meatball vegetable (huh!?), yep, was good as well.

Wait staff was helpful and courteous. Host staff was slow and not well informed when handling our groupon. I got prime beef sliders, they were pretty good, as was my girlfriends burger. But... the calamari was very poor, undercooked, poorly breaded, and I'm almost certain it was the undercooked calamari that gave us both a stomach flu. You would be much better off going to any of the other restaurants in the entertainment district.

35 minutes for an appetizer and a pizza! Unbelievable and very disappointing because we almost missed our movie and we clearly told our server about our movie time and she told us we have all our time.

9:30pm on a Friday night and I kid you not... over half the tables are empty and we are told there is a 45 minute wait because they don't have enough waitreses! So we paid $20 for two beers as we waited over an hour for our movie. Nice way to ensure that we NEVER come back again!

I love this place! Come here before my movie time...grab their hummus and glass of Pinot noire. My bartender Thomas remembers me and that makes me feel special ;) Chill atmosphere with chill music. I come with my female friend but I am surrounded by people on dates and they all seem to be having a great time!

Came here today with my boyfriend for Jurassic world. We were hungry so grabbed two burgers and a few drinks. Food delicious drinks were alright... But the one thing that stood out the most was our bartender! Can't remember his name but tallish late 20's early 30's. He was so sweet and always checked up to see how we were doing. We left him a 25% tip and he said thank you like 3 times made us feel grateful for his service. Thanks so much we'll be back again. Hope the managers see this and praise you for your AWSOME work. (6/29/15 around 645 we ate there Monday night.)

I have been coming here for years now. So I am leaving a Yelp for once on my latest visit. I love this particular area in town. The staff is always friendly and they have a decent beer selection. Just like everywhere else in Rosemont, it is pricey. But it's fine I just wanted late night grub and a beer or two. So I ordered the greek feta fries for starters. I love feta cheese so when I saw this app I was happy. When it came out it was a decent amount of fries smothered in feta cheese so it was perfect. I then ordered the grilled pineapple chicken. I was just as impressed with that dish. Nice proportion of amount veges with the chicken. The stir fry sauce used did not over power the dish so you actually tasted everything that was in it. The only thing I wish about this place is for later operating hours. I rarely get the chance to catch this place open so when I do I take advantage.

We were in the Rosemont area on foot by the convention center. Did not want to eat at the hotels because of price, so walked over to the square. I am fairly familiar with the square and did not want to eat over 'party mode' at 9pm at night. Noticed the muvico had a bar/grill in it. It looked dead from outside so was not sure but what a gem! A nice swank area up stairs that is quiet and conducive to getting your drink/nosh/and convo on all at the same time. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The only drag, beers are like $7 a pop, didn't find out that nice little surprise until I got my bill. Not cool. As for food, actually quite a few things on the menu that got me excited. We ended up splitting the shredded salad and poppers. Both were very good. I'll be back to explore the menu more and maybe catch a movie? My hesitation with the movie is the drink price and not sure how likely it is that I will actually be there early enough to catch dinner and a movie. Most likely it would be an either or.

Certainly some mixed reviews listed so far. However, my experience was fine. My party ordered nachos, three salads, two burgers and an entree I can't recall. Everyone seemed to be happy with their dish. The bar drinks were good and the service was good. No complaints at all. Plus we could buy our movie tickets while we were eating dinner. Reserving seats in advance is the only way to go. We returned to Bogart's after the movie for dessert and had an equally good experience. Funnel fries were good. Maybe too good. Friend liked her drunken cheesecake. Pretzels were good too. Sriracha dip was a little hot for me but I'm kind of wimpy that way. Garage parking was a little nutty overall though better on the Muvico side but it was Saturday night so no surprise there.

Really like coming here and having a drink or maybe eat dinner before going to see a movie. If you don't finish your dinner and if you sit in the VIP movie you can take your food into the movie.

Please don't ever make plans to come here and eat. Save yourself the disappointment. I was here with my girlfriend about two months ago, and we had an okay experience, to say the least. It was our first time, so we figured we'd give it a shot. Overall, it was not so bad. Fast forward to last night.. Worst decision of my life. The waiter was very nice, but the food was just terrible. I ordered the sirloin steak med rare, and it came out well done. Almost not edible. It was topped with a tiny bit of horseradish and raw mushrooms. I had the baby potatoes and garlic spinach as my sides; the potatoes were very overcooked, and the spinach was bland. My girlfriend had the honey chipotle pork chops which, if not for the sauce, would have tasted like nothing. They were also very dry to make it worse. Even something as simple as the cheesy garlic bread was bad. No garlic flavor at all. Just bread with cheese on it. Best part of the meal was the water. If you're looking for good food, this isn't your place. I would have been I much more happy paying 3x more at FOGO or simply going to Gene & Judes after the movie. Everyone do yourself a favor and don't step foot into this place. I have no doubt you'll be disappointed.

I think I will agree with most people on here... I really do wish I could give it more stars, i just can't. Wifey and I love going to Muvico for our movie watching needs... and yes sometimes we just have to come here to eat so were not late to a big premier. It's basically bar and movie food and you get to sit down. There really isn't much to it. It is definitely over priced, but, so is everything else in a movie theater. The food isn't bad, its just meh. I've never really had anything special here, even the most expensive short rib on the menu is eh. The service is rushed and not really on point. Everyone is trying to get to a movie so I'm sure they're rushed and pushed around a lot. I still give em a good tip, i know they're hustling, its not their fault. all in all it is what it is... its over priced dinner conveniently there before the movie.

We ate here last night. Their new menu is great! I had the spicy elvis...and let's just say omg. I have to try this at home. It is to die for! Who'd have thought peanut better and jalapeno jelly on a burger would be so foodgasmic? I certainly wouldn't have. This pregnant lady was feeling brave, decided to try what sounded like a weird combination (hey, I can blame my weird hormonal cravings) and just....it's heavenly. I devoured it. It was awesome! My hubby had the stir fry he ate it up! It looked really good! But I didn't try it. Service was good. We sat in the balcony area. Nice little spot. I can't wait to see another movie here. Maybe we'll just come for dinner! By the way, Big Hero Six was great! Check it out!

This review is based on service alone. We arrived (4 people total) there before our movie and told there was 90 minute wait. No prob we will go to the bar. Bar staff was fast considering they were swamped. 3 stars for them. 30 minutes later we were seated Our waiter arrived TWENTY minutes later at about 7:45. Asked us if we were there for a movie. Yes we were, a 9pm movie. Our waiter then said "We are short handed today, I'll try my best" this should have been our first clue. We put in our order for food and some drinks. Looking around we noticed a lot of empty tables. A couple got seated next to us and they told us the hostess told them there was a TWO HOUR wait for food. I told them they were nuts for staying. Now it's 8:30 45 minutes after we put in our drink and food order. We have no drinks, and no appetizers and no food. We were lucky we had water. Our waiter is no where to be found and hasn't even checked in with us. The couple next to us hadn't even been waited on. We got up and just left. We joked with the couple that they could have our food. The sad part about the night was that the couple asked if they could have one of our untouched glasses of water because they were so thirsty. What a joke his place was.

Very nice atmosphere but that's what you're gonna pay $$$ for. Food wasn't that great and way overpriced. Seating for the movie on the second level is well worth the little bit extra. Save money and skip Bogarts though.
(2)Gary G.
So, after a long day of flying into Chicago from Boston. We were really hungry. We had a 2 two hour delay from Logan. And the time change always messes me up. So, we asked the concierge at aloft as to where to eat. The first thing he said to us is do you want a steakhouse. There was a Morton's nearby. We, told him we wanted a reasonable price restaurant. So, he recommended Bogarts. Bogarts is a restaurant in a movie theater. Just like SCL at Patriot Place. However, we have them beat. SCL at Patriot Place is better. It is a cool concept but the food is not good. The free bread was good and so was the spinach artichoke dip. However, it comes with bread and not chips. It must be a Midwest thing. I asked the waiter for recommendations and his choices did not look appealing. I tried the braised beef. That was one of his choices. It tasted good but I was feeling it in a few hours. It just sat in my stomach like a brick. And it was still there int he morning. Wifey got a horrible crab cake sandwich. And my father in law got chicken and pasta. It looked liked it was made my lean cuisine. No, one liked there food. So, stay away. Come to Patriot Place if you to eat dinner at a movie theater. Can not wait till Legacy Place opens. SCL is opening there too.

Fast service per request. Very attentive. Food ok. Beer good. Expensive for family dining.
(3)Linda K.
The food wasn't so great. I ordered the shrimp penne. It was more soup-like. Too much cream and no flavor. My bf ordered the fish and chips. I wasn't very fond of it but he liked it. But i did enjoy the fries.

I have to echo the sentiments of other patrons. What a horrible experience. We arrived at 6:00 with reservations with a 7:30 movie time. We were seated promptly. Our drink order was taken fairly quicky, it too awhile for the one drink order, a martini. Then it took another little while for us to be able to place our order. Note there were many empty tables but I hardly ever saw my waitress and when I did she was too far away to get her attention. After we placed our order it took over 15 minutes to get crab cakes. At this point I thought ok, we have some time it should be ok. Our dirty plates sat on our table for about 30 minutes. at 6:50 the waitress came by asked if we wanted a drink, picked up the dirty plates, when I had to ask where is our dinner? we ordered a burger and sliders (not complicated).My husband was getting testy and irritated (did I mention this was our date night?). She gave us some line about how they were so busy with so many reservations yet scanning the room there had to be at least 8 empty tables. She said she would check the kitchen. I then saw the table next to us, who were seated after us recive their dinner. So 10 minutes later or so, its a few after 7 pm, here comes our food, The sliders were way overcooked and my burger that was supposed have mushrooms but they weren't provided. We also ordered a side of sauteed mushrooms which didn't arrive. We sent back the sliders and my husband and I shared the burger. Before the waitress left we asked for the check and expressed our displeasure. A few minutes later she came and said the manager would be over (that she came to us quick for), Now my evening is just about ruined as my husband is steaming. She offered that we could go to our movie and they would give us a buzzer and we could come out and get the food...you can't serve my food in the restaurant but I should leave the movie to come and get it? ...really? And did I mention in the hour and 20 minutes we were there no one came over and filled my water glass...which was the only thing I was drinking. The manager comes over and apologizes again with the 'we are so busy' and yet still there are many empty tables. My husband explains the concept of capacity planning. We had a groupon and she offered to credit the bill and we could order drinks...really? We declined, she gave us $30.00 in Bogart bucks and if we use them it will be to get a drink AFTER a movie. No second chances here, there definitely needs to be a serious change in management at this place.
(1)Antonio G.
Been here a few times and food is always ok, nothing exiting, last night food was ok again, but If I was you I would double check your plates, I got a used plate for my appetizers, talked to a the manager she waived the bill, but thats not the point, once you get a dirty, used plated, I can assure you, not even free dinner can make up for it.
(2)Laura G.
I was there this past Friday (October 19, 2012). My friend and I informed the waiter that we were in a hurry as we were going to the theater. He advised us that appetizers took about 15-20 minutes. The appetizers, nachos and pretzels, took almost 40 minutes. Totally unacceptable. We ended up taking them to go and eating them in the car on the way to the theater. On the plus, they were good, although it would have been nice to have the sauces for the pretzels.
(1)Randal L W.
Decent food with posh atmosphere. But overpriced ultimately.
(3)Rhonda G.
Went here today for an association meeting and the space was really nice. Upon entering I wondered how they would pull off such a large meeting but once I entered the back room all my questions were answered. It's a great room for a small to medium sized lunch and the old school movie posters and flat screen playing old movies (silenced) created a cool atmosphere. the food was excellent! Chicken and pesto sandwiches with homemade potato chips and tomato basil soup...all executed very well. However beverage service was kind of odd. Part served, part help yourself so maybe a brush up on that is needed All in all a great experience and definitely a place to look at for a different meeting experience.
(4)Jason M.
Great place to go for a dinner and a movie all in the same place. Had the fish and chips for dinner and it was very good, def need a splash of lemon (my own preference). My girlfriend had the Chicken Alfredo which she liked as well. We both had the chocolate martinis, they were $12.50 each but well worth the $$$. Overall a great experience. David L. was our server. He was great always had an eye on our table. Will definitely be back.
(5)Katie C.
Booooooooo. Not at all what it should be. Considering how awesome the Premier experience is at the Muvico, you'd hope they'd have a restaurant to match their sophistication. Wrong-o. My Santa Fe chicken salad was decent but absolutely nothing special--I think I prefer the Corner Bakery's version, in fact. The man's flatbread pizza did NOT look appetizing. This is saying a lot, because if you call it pizza, there's a 99.9% chance I'll eat it and LIKE it. He said it was soggy and gross. Blech. They had a decent list of signature cocktails--I ordered the Havana, with vodka, orange juice, banana and strawberry liquors. Hello, drunk! It was big and strong and WHOA , slightly overwhelming. While I appreciated the kick in the pants, I didn't appreciate the stealing of my wallet--$12.50 for a g-d cocktail! I refuse to pay that in the CITY! This is the BURBS! Get it straight! You are not the Violet Hour! Sorry for my rampage, but that was a no-no. Our waiter didn't know what red pepper flakes were. End of story.
(2)Sam A.
food is just ok, they took 40 mins to bring us a second drink ridiculous. Then we were given a free desert which we didn't want and it was terrible. Just an awful dining experience its a shame to because this place has potential
(2)Margaretsen H.
Do not waste your time and money. We decided to pay extra to sit in the reserved seats where you can do one of two things. You can eat at the restaurant beforehand and then see the movie. Or order your food and watch the movie while eating. We decided to watch and eat. There were no tables to put your food down. The food was expensive and not good. BEWARE: They tell you that you get free popcorn with the reserved seating when in actuality you are charged for the "free" popcorn. They say the price included the popcorn and free valet. Parking is free anyway. I thought we were going to get special treatment here. The restaurant part is a joke, however the theater is nice so I suggest going into just the theater part like any other theater. If you want the "eat dinner while watching a movie" experience I recommend going to Hollywood Blvd. in Woodridge. Much better.
(1)gale l.
We wanted to treat some family members to a VIP movie experience and after our 2nd time eating here, I think I would much rather eat first at Giordanos or Harry Careys in Rosemont, which are just up River Road a ways, or at Mortons before a movie. For a couple drinks before a movie, the bar here seems fine. The food is not very special at all, and the main thing going for them is the convenience of location. I did really love how I could get an entire Ben+Jerry's pint for the movie. What a splurge! The only thing that would make this the BEST movie experience is if we could bring our dogs to snuggle with us on the loveseats in the VIP section.
(2)Lydia H.
Terrible! I ordered the stuffed chicken breast. It was overcooked, under-seasoned & dry...definitely NOT worth $16.95! My brother ordered the braised beef & it was very bland. My 2 friends ordered the turkey club & chicken tenders and both were disappointed. The waitress told us the turkey club used real turkey and not the slimy deli turkey my friend DIDN'T want. Guess what slimy surprise she got? The frozen Ore-Ida-like fries didn't help matters. KEEP YOUR MONEY!!! Although one would think that Bogart's would provide high quality food, it does NOT. Eat at Morton's instead (the prices are comparable, the quality & reputation is better), or get food at the regular concession stand on the ground floor of Muvico (there is an elevator to Premier from there).
(1)Rebecca B.
This rating is based on a single meal at Bogart's last Saturday afternoon. I was in Rosemont and decided to check out Muvico Theater. I love Showplace Icon in Chicago and rarely go to the suburbs to see a movie, but I had read about Muvico and wanted to see how it compared. Since I arrived early and was hungry, I decided to try Bogart's(which is connected to the theater) before the movie. My expectations were pretty low after reading the Yelp reviews, so I was blown away by the Bogart Burger! I ordered it medium with extra onions and that is the way it came. It was easily the best burger I have had in years - hot and juicy and served with really tasty fries. Way better burger than any casual restaurant I've had in Chicago and at the same price. I had it with a icy cold glass of draft beer - the glass was a foot tall. Best theater meal ever. Unlike Icon, they don't serve you at your seat, but the burger was so good it didn't matter. I ate at the bar, but there is table service or you can order the food packaged to take into the theater. If you are ticketed at one of the Premier theaters upstairs, you can also take alcohol to your seat. If not, only food and soft drinks downstairs. btw - The Muvico theater itself is great. The seats are bigger than any Chicago theater I have ever seen - and I have been to at least 25 movie theaters in the area. Add in the free parking and this would easily be my go-to theater if it were closer to the city.
(5)Kate M.
Had a disappointing experience here last night. Sat down and it took at least 10 mins to be approached by a waiter. Not a busy night and lots of servers available. When he did arrive he was fine, and asked us when our movie was - we were going to the downstairs theater. So, dude KNOWS that we have a specific window of time, which was ONE HOUR. For real, man. I think he altogether forgot the cake we ordered and even though we had plenty of time when we actually placed our order with him, my friend had to literally get up from her seat (none of the waitstaff we attempted to flag down would pay any attention to us) to get some help when we realized we were getting close to the movie time. At that point we needed to get it in a to-go container, which is not the way to eat warm cake with a scoop of ice cream. All of the waitstaff just seemed like half-wits and I recognize that's a hard job b/c I've done it. But it's all about service, so pay attention to your customers and stop getting distracted with god knows what. It's your job. Additionally, if I'm paying substantial money for anything at all, I expect quality. Learn how to make a cappuccino vs a latte vs Americano or any other espresso drink, or just DON'T serve them. Seriously, they just butchered that altogether. Just skip this place and find a place to eat in the vicinity.
(1)Melissa M.
I'm sooooo disappointed! I gave this restaurant three different times to redeem themselves and... nothin! Each time I've gone they've messed up our orders, they take too long despite the fact that the place looks empty, and the menu is completely inaccurate. Each item lists what it comes with... so you pick & choose from there (ie, no onions, etc)... but when your food arrives there are things on there that aren't listed on the menu. Example: Bogart's Burger says it comes with "shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato and pickle chips" and you can "add cheddar and bacon". I ordered the burger with cheddar, but no pickles... what I received was the burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mustard, mayo, bacon... but no cheese. When I told the server that I didn't like all that stuff, he looked rather perturbed and took it back. All they did was take off the bacon and slap some cheese on it. My son ordered the Cheeseburger sliders that - according to the menu - come with "lettuce, tomatoes, shaved onions, & Cheddar cheese". When he received them, they had lettuce and mayo. Unfortunely, he doesn't like mayo so they had to re-do those as well. Keep in mind that this was just the most recent trip to Bogart's. The other two times were just as unpleasant. The Muvico Theatre itself is nice. Save the money and just see the movie downstairs and get stuff from the concession. The items there are pretty good. You might have to wait a bit, but you won't get nearly as frustrated as at Bogart's.
(1)Bridget B.
Don't waste your money on the food in this restaurant. Instead, treat yourself to popcorn and nachos from the concessions. The food was crap and the service SLOW. Our food came out in a timely manner, but the drink service took forever. Our server seemed overwhelmed by the amount of tables she had, even though it wasn't a lot. I also don't understand why they ask what time your show starts if that info isn't communicated with the waitstaff. All in all, def go to this theater-it's great, especially getting an assigned comfy seat, but don't waste your money on the restaurant!
(1)Cori S.
I went on Christmas Eve before my movie and I had an amazing dinner and an amazing server! I made an online reservation (I didn't need it). I would do online reservations again because I'm sure they do get busy. Since it wasn't crowded, I got seated at a table by the balcony. The decor is nice, kinda like a nicer theater/old Hollywood feel, but not like a planet Hollywood type of decor. The server was attentive and patient and very down to earth. I like how they ask you when your movie is just in case you lose track of time & don't miss your movie. The specialty martini was yummy , the appetizer was delicious and dinner was so damn good I want some now!!!! The price in my opinion was about what you would pay at most restaurants in the area & my dinner was huge! So I think it's a good price for what you get. I really enjoyed eating there before my movie. I think I will make it a habit to eat there more often before my movies.
(5)Janice W.
Decided to come here for my birthday dinner when Sugar Factory was a total disappointment. Was immediately greeted by a friendly/talkative host. I didn't have to argue to get a booth, and despite it being the server's first day everything went perfect!! The hawaiian burger and crisp caesar salad were to die for!!!It's rare to find a restaurant with prime beef burgers! However, the complimentary dessert that was served, all i would recommend would be to use a fresher cookie or warm it up.Loved the quick, friendly and quiet atmosphere. Will definitely come back soon! Affordable too!
(5)Wilkins K.
Against the grand backdrop of Hollywood glory days gone by, pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service at the theater bar. A good stiff drink, dinner and a movie - who could ask for anything more?
(5)Rochelle W.
I had the Nachos. They were huge, but the way they baked the chips and cheese made em like a large mass of soggy chips. it was still pretty good, however. lots of toppings. No real complaints here.
(3)Joanne D.
Love the fact that this is mainly adult's only and the concessions upstairs have a nice selection make sure you try the caramel fries...yum! You can't use your rewards upstairs boooo! I like that fact that can have a relaxing movie date night with a little booze. The staff upstairs in the concessions were really nice and helpful. Also entertaining while waiting 10 minutes for my fries... but so worth the wait!
(3)Seife Z.
We came here on Friday. Service was good. Food was nice. We had the quesadilla. Though in the appetizer section, it was very filling. The only downside about this place is if you sit in front of the bar, you are sitting on a major passage way for the movie/bar goers right next to the restaurant. Then you would have chaotic dinner which we had. So find a place inside the restaurant, there are seats farther away from the crowd.
(3)Jon B.
Service and food horrible. Service Waiter took 20 minutes to greet us and it was completely dead, probably only 3 tables sat where we were sitting Wife has problem with food, manager is quick to take it off the bill(not so bad) Another problem with the entree my wife got the waiter brings us our drinks she asks him something he walks away without even acknowledging my wife Spent about 2 hours there most of that time was spent waiting for the waiter Food Calamari tastes and feels like rubber Tacos that were skirt steak tastes like ground beef, but not terrible Chopped salad was average, more so shredded not chopped. Can't really mess up a salad too much Steak was average. Seasoned vegetables are like squash and zucchini only, which normally it's broccoli carrots and that but no. Baby potatoes looked like what I would find in my cats litter box and just tasted like pure salt. Death by chocolate was ok. Nothing fantastic. Not impressed.
(1)Hugo A.
Get the Smokey Burger. Medium Rare. Even if you don't pay for the 21+ at Muvico you can order food to-go and take into the Downstairs Theater. Best Food at any Movie Theater! I'll be back for the 21+ Premiere for the Next Box Office Hit. For now, I'm About to watch the latest X-Men movie.
(5)Jacob J.
For a restaurant at the movie theater it's A-OK. I don't feel that much of their food should be priced in the double digits but this is also the dining service for those choosing to sit in the "adult themed" seats which typically start in the twenty dollar range. Also they are trying to maintain an upscale theme here. So, people can and do order steaks in the movie theater, however I have never nor could I. Food is pretty average but if you can get them to create your favorite cocktail or martini, those are decent for their price. Service is usually good depending on whether it's an opening weekend or not. I tend not to visit too often and that's mainly because I've had it and while the people watching can be fun, there's not much else to the food or experience.
(3)Keith E.
Went to Bogarts before the movie. I love their Fish & Chips so ordered them again tonight. Ordered a new appetizer, the Tequlia Lime Large Chicken Wings. GREAT Taste definitely a must when there1 The taste is great. The Fish & Chips were good usual. My wife had he steak & fish tacos. If the steak was any preview the Carne Asada maybe I will break my habit. Service was very good and quick. Great start to date Night. If you go Definitely try the Tequila & Lime large chicken wings. The right amount of mix & heat. Used the remaining sauce on my Fish too.
(5)Dave V.
Good eats. decent price. If you are sitting in the VIP seating, get your beers at the bogarts bar not the little popcorn area. Our server was very nice and made it enjoyable. especially when he over heard us talking about custom jello shots and politely informed us they sell jello shots there for a buck... yes please.
(4)Juliana R.
I agree with most reviews as this place has pretty terrible over priced food BUT we came here last night for a beer before our movie and had a 22oz. $6 Peroni on draft! Our server was very accommodating, I wish I knew her name! The only thing that bothered me was overhearing some creeper 38 yr old server asking a younger server if she was going to bring back any of her college friends for him to meet...EW!!! She seemed so skeeved out..AS WAS I.
(3)Valerie Z.
I have been here several times and I always have a great experience. The wait staff is always friendly and times our meals perfectly with the movie time. I love the food here, the arugala salad is simple but amazing the quesadilla app is super yummy and my husband loves the carne asada. The menu is not huge but everything is great! On my most reason visit my husband and I came to the bar for a drink before our movie. The bartender was great, plesant and helpful. My husband thought he wanted to try this new beer they had and she offered him a sample first stating "it's really hopp-y so I don't want you to order the whole one and not like it." She was right! It sounded as though it would be good but it was really not so he was able to order something else instead. The bar menu is huge! They have lots of martini options which I love and a good beer selection. Even if you don't want to pay to sit in the premire theater seats they are nice and timely. I LOVE this place. Best place in Rosemont to eat and drink at.

Came here with a groupon and was sent from the ticket office to first floor guest services to pick up our tickets. Then we had to go to second floor guest services to get our valet ticket stamped. Had dinner prior to the show, arrived at Bogarts with one hour to spare. Although the restaurant did not look crowded, the service was slower than expected. Not many food choices, but drink menu was pretty large. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were pretty good. The rice on the side tasted like what I imagine microwave rice to be, the kernels were unevenly cooked and many of them were hard, like plastic. The side of beans was very tasty though. My husband ordered fish and chips. They looked burnt and had a lot of breading on them. He took one bite and said they were not good, too salty. He ended up eating the fries and one of my tacos. All in all, not a place I would visit without a groupon...and even then I'll have to think twice.

Let me begin by saying that the decor is nice, although it kind of feels like you're in the lobby of a hotel or a casino, not a classy restaurant. Maybe it's all the carpeting. Overall, the food was decent if not overpriced. Even with the Groupon I used. If I return to watch a movie at Muvico, I don't think I'd return to here because I don't think the prices match the quality of the food. However, I will admit the customer service was good.

Triple, eh! Sure, the waitress was great. Sure, the people watching can be quite entertaining. Sure, the vino is quite alright. The food?!? Greasy and not the best quality. We had the fried calamari, which was extra greasy and chewy. The turkey burger was not freshly made and overly salted. The french fries were ok, but a bit well done. The salad was a salad, nothing to write home about. As for the prices, super expensive when compared to the culinary experience. The theater is a great experience, but the kitchen should think of ways to revamp the menu, so the movie goers would like to enjoy there time at the theater that much longer.

Anyone seen our waiter? Boy I really wanted to dislike this place considering the reviews I saw at a glance and the OBVIOUS smell of someone who had just finished a cigarette in the bathroom. Yes, our waiter was slow at first, but he did get better. This was a Groupon experience- movie, 2 drinks, an appetizer and 2 main courses. We actually had a third person and we were all well fed on what was brought out. Teriyaki boneless wings (don't mix well with ranch or blue cheese) and some of the longest celery sticks I've ever seen as a side. Fish & chips and a meat lovers pizza. Both were good. The pizza was a bit greasy, but considering it had a lot of meat (oh, and no cheese) on it, what would you expect? We had a good time. I'd go again, especially with a Groupon. Why are there so many cops walking through here? Seriously: 3 were standing around by the restrooms and several walked through the bar.

After multiple visits, I really want to be able to leave a good review. I just can't. My wife and I often come to the Muvico for the Nick Digilio Film Club events. Usually we get a couple of drinks and some garlic cheese bread at the bar at Bogart's before heading into the theater. The first time we were here in August 2012, we arrived at 7:30 for an 8:00 movie. Amazingly, it ended up being enough time for us to be seated, order, get our food and eat most of it before the movie started. I had the prime steak sliders, which were pretty good. The last couple times we've been here, I have ordered garlic cheese bread at the bar. It typically arrives either without any cheese, or with far too much garlic. Last night, we arrived a little before 7:00, which we figured would be plenty of time for us to eat before the movie. Despite there being plenty of available tables, there was a good-sized line when we arrived. Host staff was taking far too long to seat individual groups of two. The only highlight was our waitress, Reema, who was completely helpful and courteous through the entire experience. We were seated by 7:05 and placed our order by 7:15. My wife ordered a veggie burger, and I ordered the street style steak tacos. Our food finally arrived at 7:50. There is really no excuse for the kitchen to take 35 minutes to put together a veggie burger and some tacos. To the credit of our waitress, she came by at 7:40 to let us know that it would be a little while longer. We weren't thrilled, but we appreciated her telling us. I was planning on ordering a second beer to take into the theater (even at $7 each, which is a little much), but at this point I decided against it. My taco tortillas were not as crispy as they should have been; I have had better tacos at our local Mexican take-out place for half the price. I still tipped our waitress appropriately, because it's not her fault the kitchen sucks. To be clear, the theater on its own is great, and I have no complaints about our experiences there. Bogart's has been disappointing. I can't see us ordering food here again.

The food here was quite great! I came for a Yelp Elite event with the fabulous folks of Tenth and Blake Brewery. The standout was the mac and cheese.
(3)Sarah K.
We went here with a Groupon deal. We had drinks before and after, including dinner after. The atmosphere was great. The food was also good but was looking for more of a selection. We would likely go here again but might try out some appetizers next time.
(3)Lisa K.
Calamari was not good at all. Bison burgers were great. Service was excellent. Ok place to grab a bite if you are seeing a movie and don't have much time but there are so many other great restaurants in the area so if you have the time I would choose another place.
(2)Chirag P.
had a good experience here, our waitress was great, kept checking on us and was just very friendly and helpful with the menu selections. Get the spinach artichoke dip which our waitress said was the best app, we didn't get any burgers, but my wife and i both had the flatbread pizzas. I had the fajita one and she had the tomato basil. Not sure where some folks call this place "pricey" as the flatbreads were about $10, the dip was $7, pretty normal if you ask me. Overall the place is nice, being a restaurant inside a movie theater, I'm not expecting too much, but this place reminded me of some of those Vegas restaurants where you can watch all the guest traffic on one side, and the restaurant and booths are wrapped around. Not a bad place for dining in a theater, I'm not expecting some amazing restaurant experience here, so I think going in with that mentality does help too.

You have to try the Steak Kabob, so yummies! Full Bar, if you don't finish you food or drinks not to worry you can always take them into the theater and finish there. Muvico is all RSVP seating so your seat will be waiting for you...
(4)Frank C.
Bad food. The shrimp tacos were bad. The burger I had was was bad. For the money, I rather eat at a decent restaurant and Then go to the movies! I get the concept, but someone has to taste the food and say "we can do a lot better"! Please do better!

Weird. Movie: Got a gift of a groupon for 2 VIP movie tix and a meal with drinks. VIP movie part was odd. Had to see like 5 different people to get into the movie. Had to get movie tickets at guest services not at the regular register, pick reserved seats, get popcorn at a special counter, show tickets to 2 different check points, sit in ridiculously oversized chairs. Restaurant: Weird. Looks like a restaurant at an all-inclusive resort, trying to be nice but feels more like a theme park. You seat yourselves even though there is no sign telling you to do so. Therefore people end up wandering around asking how to get a table. Drink menu consists of about 1,000 girly martinis. Food: Meh. Started with calamari- very overcooked, rubber bands. Husband had a steak. Asked for it medium but it was so thin that it ended up being very well done. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was pretty good. Service: Our waitress was very nice but they were so understaffed service ended up being terrible. Had to ask for water twice, drinks took about 15 min, didn't get lemons for calamari despite asking, didn't get steak knife for steak, tables sat unbussed for an hour, a phone kept ringing since no one had time to answer it. Waitress was apologetic but I'm just glad we did not pay for this experience.

Me and my boyfriend come here once in a while when we go to Muvico but in my opinion it's a little over priced. I would recommend it to people if they have nowhere else to go but it's only for convenience. The staff is friendly but I wouldn't recommend coming here less than forty minutes before your show because for some reason everything takes a tad bit longer to make at this place. It doesn't bother me when I'm just lounging around but it does get annoying when we miss a movie.
(3)Brad C.
$12 for a cocktail but there is certainly $12 worth of booze in each drink. The foor is pricey. Take the nachos off the menu, they must be made by the movie theatre concession stand. Stale chips, cheese sauce, canned chili, just awful. They redeemed themselves with the steak sliders, yummmmm. Service is slow, like repeated empty cocktail between visits slow. Near they end they came up and asked 'what time is your show'. That should be question one here. When I said we wanted to leave, could they bring the check, it took 10-15 minutes. So it is a 1 or 2 star place but making a $12 drink with $12 worth of booze deserves a bump. Oh, and they put us in a booth with a TV and changed it so we could watch the Blackhawks play, that is worth something.

I don't really care for this place. I had fabulous expectations when we bought the groupon and when I looked at their menu online. But when we sat down and got the menu I was immediately disappoInted. The menu was very limited, and things that we saw that looked so delicious online were no longer availible because as the waiter said "they changed the menu". We both ordered burgers because... We didn't see anything else that looked like it would be as good and they had pictures of the burgers online (which looked thick, juicy, and scrumptious ). But again disappointment set in. When the burgers arrived they looked the same even thought we ordered two totally different burgers. Mine was even supposed to come with a wheat bun but it didn't, and they were definitely not thick and juicy like the picture showed. This place really needs to update their menu do customers aren't disappointed and expecting something better than what they're really gonna get. The whole reason why we drove out here to this place was because of a combo groupon for Muvico and this restaurant. It sounded like a great deal til Muvico told us the movies we could see was limited, and til we saw the menu and the food. The movie theatre was nice with its loveseats and whatnot, but I like to movies I actually want to see. In conclusion, I probably won't return for either.

Had a late lunch of fish tacos. Really tasty, filling and fast. The meatball vegetable (huh!?), yep, was good as well.
(4)Matthew H.
Wait staff was helpful and courteous. Host staff was slow and not well informed when handling our groupon. I got prime beef sliders, they were pretty good, as was my girlfriends burger. But... the calamari was very poor, undercooked, poorly breaded, and I'm almost certain it was the undercooked calamari that gave us both a stomach flu. You would be much better off going to any of the other restaurants in the entertainment district.
(1)Althea S.
35 minutes for an appetizer and a pizza! Unbelievable and very disappointing because we almost missed our movie and we clearly told our server about our movie time and she told us we have all our time.
(1)Cassandra M.
9:30pm on a Friday night and I kid you not... over half the tables are empty and we are told there is a 45 minute wait because they don't have enough waitreses! So we paid $20 for two beers as we waited over an hour for our movie. Nice way to ensure that we NEVER come back again!
(1)Lati T.
I love this place! Come here before my movie time...grab their hummus and glass of Pinot noire. My bartender Thomas remembers me and that makes me feel special ;) Chill atmosphere with chill music. I come with my female friend but I am surrounded by people on dates and they all seem to be having a great time!
(5)Christina M.
Came here today with my boyfriend for Jurassic world. We were hungry so grabbed two burgers and a few drinks. Food delicious drinks were alright... But the one thing that stood out the most was our bartender! Can't remember his name but tallish late 20's early 30's. He was so sweet and always checked up to see how we were doing. We left him a 25% tip and he said thank you like 3 times made us feel grateful for his service. Thanks so much we'll be back again. Hope the managers see this and praise you for your AWSOME work. (6/29/15 around 645 we ate there Monday night.)

I have been coming here for years now. So I am leaving a Yelp for once on my latest visit. I love this particular area in town. The staff is always friendly and they have a decent beer selection. Just like everywhere else in Rosemont, it is pricey. But it's fine I just wanted late night grub and a beer or two. So I ordered the greek feta fries for starters. I love feta cheese so when I saw this app I was happy. When it came out it was a decent amount of fries smothered in feta cheese so it was perfect. I then ordered the grilled pineapple chicken. I was just as impressed with that dish. Nice proportion of amount veges with the chicken. The stir fry sauce used did not over power the dish so you actually tasted everything that was in it. The only thing I wish about this place is for later operating hours. I rarely get the chance to catch this place open so when I do I take advantage.

We were in the Rosemont area on foot by the convention center. Did not want to eat at the hotels because of price, so walked over to the square. I am fairly familiar with the square and did not want to eat over 'party mode' at 9pm at night. Noticed the muvico had a bar/grill in it. It looked dead from outside so was not sure but what a gem! A nice swank area up stairs that is quiet and conducive to getting your drink/nosh/and convo on all at the same time. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The only drag, beers are like $7 a pop, didn't find out that nice little surprise until I got my bill. Not cool. As for food, actually quite a few things on the menu that got me excited. We ended up splitting the shredded salad and poppers. Both were very good. I'll be back to explore the menu more and maybe catch a movie? My hesitation with the movie is the drink price and not sure how likely it is that I will actually be there early enough to catch dinner and a movie. Most likely it would be an either or.
(4)Beth B.
Certainly some mixed reviews listed so far. However, my experience was fine. My party ordered nachos, three salads, two burgers and an entree I can't recall. Everyone seemed to be happy with their dish. The bar drinks were good and the service was good. No complaints at all. Plus we could buy our movie tickets while we were eating dinner. Reserving seats in advance is the only way to go. We returned to Bogart's after the movie for dessert and had an equally good experience. Funnel fries were good. Maybe too good. Friend liked her drunken cheesecake. Pretzels were good too. Sriracha dip was a little hot for me but I'm kind of wimpy that way. Garage parking was a little nutty overall though better on the Muvico side but it was Saturday night so no surprise there.
(4)Reda K.
Really like coming here and having a drink or maybe eat dinner before going to see a movie. If you don't finish your dinner and if you sit in the VIP movie you can take your food into the movie.
(5)Terrel K.
Very nice bar area.drinks are always on point and strong.food is pretty good.i have trrid the flat bread pizzas,all are good so is the cobb salad and fish & chips.

Please don't ever make plans to come here and eat. Save yourself the disappointment. I was here with my girlfriend about two months ago, and we had an okay experience, to say the least. It was our first time, so we figured we'd give it a shot. Overall, it was not so bad. Fast forward to last night.. Worst decision of my life. The waiter was very nice, but the food was just terrible. I ordered the sirloin steak med rare, and it came out well done. Almost not edible. It was topped with a tiny bit of horseradish and raw mushrooms. I had the baby potatoes and garlic spinach as my sides; the potatoes were very overcooked, and the spinach was bland. My girlfriend had the honey chipotle pork chops which, if not for the sauce, would have tasted like nothing. They were also very dry to make it worse. Even something as simple as the cheesy garlic bread was bad. No garlic flavor at all. Just bread with cheese on it. Best part of the meal was the water. If you're looking for good food, this isn't your place. I would have been I much more happy paying 3x more at FOGO or simply going to Gene & Judes after the movie. Everyone do yourself a favor and don't step foot into this place. I have no doubt you'll be disappointed.
(1)Douglas B.
I think I will agree with most people on here... I really do wish I could give it more stars, i just can't. Wifey and I love going to Muvico for our movie watching needs... and yes sometimes we just have to come here to eat so were not late to a big premier. It's basically bar and movie food and you get to sit down. There really isn't much to it. It is definitely over priced, but, so is everything else in a movie theater. The food isn't bad, its just meh. I've never really had anything special here, even the most expensive short rib on the menu is eh. The service is rushed and not really on point. Everyone is trying to get to a movie so I'm sure they're rushed and pushed around a lot. I still give em a good tip, i know they're hustling, its not their fault. all in all it is what it is... its over priced dinner conveniently there before the movie.
(2)Liz C.
We ate here last night. Their new menu is great! I had the spicy elvis...and let's just say omg. I have to try this at home. It is to die for! Who'd have thought peanut better and jalapeno jelly on a burger would be so foodgasmic? I certainly wouldn't have. This pregnant lady was feeling brave, decided to try what sounded like a weird combination (hey, I can blame my weird hormonal cravings) and just....it's heavenly. I devoured it. It was awesome! My hubby had the stir fry he ate it up! It looked really good! But I didn't try it. Service was good. We sat in the balcony area. Nice little spot. I can't wait to see another movie here. Maybe we'll just come for dinner! By the way, Big Hero Six was great! Check it out!
(5)Gladys P.
This review is based on service alone. We arrived (4 people total) there before our movie and told there was 90 minute wait. No prob we will go to the bar. Bar staff was fast considering they were swamped. 3 stars for them. 30 minutes later we were seated Our waiter arrived TWENTY minutes later at about 7:45. Asked us if we were there for a movie. Yes we were, a 9pm movie. Our waiter then said "We are short handed today, I'll try my best" this should have been our first clue. We put in our order for food and some drinks. Looking around we noticed a lot of empty tables. A couple got seated next to us and they told us the hostess told them there was a TWO HOUR wait for food. I told them they were nuts for staying. Now it's 8:30 45 minutes after we put in our drink and food order. We have no drinks, and no appetizers and no food. We were lucky we had water. Our waiter is no where to be found and hasn't even checked in with us. The couple next to us hadn't even been waited on. We got up and just left. We joked with the couple that they could have our food. The sad part about the night was that the couple asked if they could have one of our untouched glasses of water because they were so thirsty. What a joke his place was.
