No. 49: The Regency

NO. 49: THE swanky REGENCY

We don't hesitate to say that San Juan residents are spoiled to have the Regency Theatre in their downtown.

It's Orange County's only movie theater with an in-house restaurant. The Rick's Café menu was created by chef Bernard Frehner, and some of the top picks are shrimp bisque, a Kobe beef burger, buffalo chicken fritters and crispy halibut. More notable to some, however, is that alcohol is also served there (which could make your movie even more enjoyable ...)

And, the experience is swankier than just biting into a Kobe burger after taking a sip of red wine. When you dine in the restaurant, you feel like you're on the set of  Casablanca, and when order directly from the VIP theater, you're sitting on posh leather seats. Spoiled!
