Reviews for Gilson Cafe & Cinema in Winsted, CT
Super evening out! Enjoy a movie and meal before and during the movie. It' an enjoyable, special experience.
Venue is okay. Service is fine. The older seats are good for 30 minutes, not a 2 hour movie. The newer seats have sharp... armrests where your wrists go. We do keep going back though. The town needs a place like this. The menu is old. They do havespecials. The rerun them a lot. One thing they really need to work on is the hard rolls for sandwiches. I swear they leavethem drying out for a few days before using them. Maybe it's because we go on Friday and they are left from the prior weekend. Sure seems it. I hope they read this and correct the chairs and the rolls, because we will go back. Start with the rolls. I'mtired of dry sandwiches made from stale buns that get crumbs all over me. My wife had a sandwich that was on a croissant. Itwas great. Read more
I love this cute little theater! Food was delish and the service was great! Prices are really decent too! I recommend everyone... go watch a movie and have dinner here! Read more
First time here and had a great time. I enjoyed the whole experience more than the movie.
This place is the best, unlike other movie theaters there is food, and the food is good. It is cool to think that my... grandfather used to come here as a kid. They have some cool pictures hanging up. I would totally recommend this place. Waybetter than any of the new movie theaters Read more

This is such a great place to see a movie. Dinner and drinks from the bar are brought right to your seats while you watch a... newly released movie. You can just get fresh popcorn with real butter or nachos if you don't want dinner. There are two movietheaters. Whichever film has sold more seats gets the larger room downstairs, which most people prefer. The other screening roomis upstairs and is smaller, maybe holding half the seats and tables. Both get the same menus and service, which is quite atreat. The food choices have remained pretty much the same over the years, but they work. I've had both their salads, equallygood. The Cobb with chicken, egg and bacon and the Chefs with roast beef, Turkey, ham and cheese. Their home made chili orderedby the cup or bowl is well made with optional sour cream and cheese served with a hard roll and butter. Soups are clam chowderand French onion with a third special of the night. This Saturday was butternut squash. Sandwichs are grilled Reuben, chickencutlet, Philly cheese steak, seafood salad pita, hot sausage and onion, cheese, eggplant parm or a hamburger. There's a coldpork roast platter and two pasta choices - cheese tortellini or penne both with marina sauce. There's usually a specialappetizer and dinner selection, too. This weekend the app was garlic bread with marinara sauce on the side. Nicely toasted butnot very much garlic. There's a mixed vegetable app, too, for vegetarians or those watching their diets. Mixed drinks, wine andpitchers of beer and margaritas can be served along with tea or coffee. Desserts I can think of offhand are cheesecake withstrawberries, mousse, carrot cake and chocolate cake. Wait service is always dependable. The price of your movie tickets areadded on to your dinner tab which is brought to you towards the end of the movie. Read more
