It will also set new standards in the movie grill industry globally, with Arlington as the premium version, featuring nine screens equipped with the best in 100% Dolby Digital sound, custom designed projection package including Kineton projectors, and Christie projection packages. It is the perfect place to unwind and relax in the household comfort of individual leather recliners, combining the best in entertainment and dining under one roof in a comfortable and inviting environment.

Its four-star kitchen, overseen by Executive Chef Thad Kelley, will offer the same extensive food menu featured twice on the Food Network's Top Five, with such items as Half Rack of smoked St. Louis BBQ Back Ribs, Gourmet Pizzas with honey-baked dough brushed with honey butter, or fresh salads with homemade dressings.

Studio Grande Blue Margarita. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available.
