Screening event
Movie Night
Films on the projector, dinner on the table.
What makes it work
A restaurant screening a film has to solve one problem: people watching a screen do not order the way people talking to each other do. Commissary’s answer was the happy hour and small plates menu — food designed to be eaten without much attention, ordered in rounds rather than courses.
Truffled popcorn on the happy hour list is not a coincidence.
Other screenings
The same projector has carried World Cup matches, Oscar Night and a full day of holiday films during the 12 Days of Commissary run.
