Okay, so I'm a sucker for delightfully different. We visited the crown on the downtown C-ville mall as an after dinner anniversary movie. The set up is simple and easy. You can either go on line and select date, time, and movie or just show up. We did both. Unfortunately my hubby selected the day prior so we were a day late but ended up not being that dollar short as the staff fixed us right up and pretended we selected the correct date to begin with. Some of the theatres have reclining overstuffed chairs that you can r... read more

I love this theater. I love movies. But the current habit of people using their smart phones has me wondering if I will quit coming to the cinema. Today the storyline was interrupted by people texting, checking emails, and one who played a game! This rudeness takes us out of the story and obliterates the suspension of disbelief so important to enjoyment. I would give Violet Crown five stars if it weren't for the patrons who can't live two hours without looking at their phones.

Reserved seats are cool and staff is nice but I consider previews part of the movie experience and they leave the lights on throughout previews. I don't care if someone shows up late. The lights need to go down at the showtime.

Love this theater! Have a great dinner and drinks at the theater before your movie. Take a cocktail in with you, lean back, relax, and enjoy a great experience. The staff is great and really accommodating.

LOVE this movie theater! Ticket prices are comparable to any other theater, but this one is so much nicer and has more to offer. The seats in most of the theaters recline (so you're almost completely flat) and have a tray table that pulls out. There's also a bar and restaurant available, so you can order wine, beer, snacks, candy, and even small meals to eat during the movie. Will definitely be returning here again.

I like Violet Crown a lot! But their employees need better training and I wish they still served liquor. Regardless, it's definitely one of the best things to do in on the Downtown Mall. When Violet Crown first opened, their downstairs bar was actually a bar and served liquor. As a non-beer drinker this was a huge draw for me! But after a few months they dropped that and now only serve beer and wine; very disappointing. The staff is all over the place; it often seems like there was little or no training for employees.

I like the theater. But the food not so much. We bought the recommended fries and tampas. Very disappointed. Tampas. Have a smoky flavor. But not much else. The fries were limp. And the grated cheese did not add much to the flavor.

I've truly never been to a theater quite like this one! Fancy with delicious food and a draft list that is much longer than I expected- definitely a winner in my book! Violet Crown truly blew away my expectations. First, the inside is clean and has a great vibe to it. The draft list is way larger than I would have expected at a movie theater, even one that serves beer. And the food was just delicious (thought it would be sub-par, pre packaged food, but was clearly wrong). I got the thai noodle salad which seemed to be a bo... read more

Home run for downtown Cville! Good for dates, families, and solo. Particularly love the upstairs counter for wine and people watching while awaiting your show.
