Greater Union’s Gold Class is worded as the ultimate in the world of cinema luxury. With an intimate setting that seats no more than 40 people, guests get to relax in reclining chairs and enjoy full waiter service while watching the movie.
We decided to check out the Gold Class at Greater Union’s George Street Cineplex in Sydney, for the Transformers 2 movie. After getting our tickets, …
… we were asked to take a sit in the Gold Class Lounge.
Here, one of the waitresses was in-charged of greeting us at the door, lead us to one of the sofa, …
… handed us the food menu, and when the cinema was ready, escorted us to our seats.
While at the lounge, guests are welcome to order food and drinks at the bar, …
… and then choose to have them at the lounge or inside the cinema (while the movie is playing). The only thing they had to do was to decide on the time for them to bring the food in. And I guess that’s where the wooden table (in between the two recliners), …
… came into good use. However, the only food that we ordered during the movie was popcorns as all other food were just too expensive. After paying almost $40 per person for the tickets, it was just hard to justify paying $13 for chips, or $21 for fish and chips.
I guess the biggest disappointment with the Gold Class was their food. Besides being pricey, you tend to get all the food smell stuck to your clothing, and if your neighbours ordered plenty of food, you could easily get distracted by the waiter and waitresses that walked in and out during the whole movie. Maybe, some people just have to be reminded that we were there for movies and not for food!!
