The Cobb Cinebistro at Hyde Park Village in Tampa, Florida will be opening Friday, October 16, 2009 on the site of the old Sunrise Cinemas - Old Hyde Park Village, which closed in September 2006.

According to the Cobb Theatres web site, the new theater is only for guests aged 21 and over, and it boasts luxurious high-backed seating that you can reserve ahead of time. A chef-prepared menu is available and the food is delivered to your seat. Premium cocktails, signature drinks, and an extensive wine menu is also available.

On the Cobb CineBistro web site, the chain describes the CineBistro experience as:

CinéBistro, Cobb Theatres’ extraordinary premium movie theatre and dining experience captured in one unique entertainment venue, is changing the way people watch movies, create romantic moments, eat and socialize.

The height of luxury, comfort and quality in both our movie and restaurant settings, CinéBistro allows its customers to enjoy the splendor of watching a movie in their own specially reserved, ultra-luxurious high back leather rocking chair, eat a sumptuous gourmet meal served in their seat, sip premium cocktails and fine wine, and then retire to the terrace for delicious coffee and dessert.

More than just a movie experience, a screening at a CinéBistro is nothing short of pure indulgence, and offers movie aficionado’s an upscale, stylish setting that encourages the fine art of conversation before and after each showing in our pristine lounge, lobby or restaurant.

The perfect night out. Or lunchtime or mid-afternoon occasion. CinéBistro: bringing the best of both worlds together for an experience you will never forget.

This will be the third such location that Cobb Theatres has opened in Florida. The other two are the Cobb CineBistro at Dolphin Mall in Miami and the Cobb CineBistro at Grove 16 in Wesley Chapel. They have more locations planned for Daytona Beach in Florida, Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia, Vail, Colorado, and Gambrills, Maryland.
