Nice looking theatre. The concept of dine in theatre is cool but it isn't a true dine in theatre. You have to order food and drinks at bar then carry everything upstairs to your seat. Then you are stuck with a plate in front of you the entire movie. No servers. I do like the reserved seat situation, makes going to the movie less stressful. Also, the theatre is very cold so be prepared with a warm coat. Other than that, the seats are comfortable. The front row includes a reclining chair to rest your feet. And the auditoriums ... read more
Fantastic atmosphere and beer selection. The seats are comfortable and you get to select/reserve them ahead of time. The managers are tough on talkers and texters, which is alone worth a 5 star rating because you can't say the same thing about other movie theaters in the area. Charlottesville is lucky to have such a cool and unique franchise here. Cinephiles rejoice.
You can't get much better than this for a theater. You definitely need to arrive early to order food. You can either sit at a table in the lounge until a waiter comes to take your order, or just order from the register. We ordered from the register, and our pizzas took 30 minutes to come out of the kitchen. A waitress asked for our order about 20 minutes later. To be fair, their website does say to arrive at least 45 minutes early! The only problem would be the food getting cold if waiting for the theater to open. The theate... read more
The screens are small except for Theatre 1. The food is about a B (fries were good). But, I have to kind of like it because Downtown really needed a movie theatre.
This place is amazing, and we're very happy to have it on the downtown mall. This is exactly the type of place Charlottesville needed. You pick your own seats in the theater, so you don't have to rush to get into the theater early. And it's smart, because what does that mean? Time to drink more beers. There is a great drink selection, and the best movie popcorn (real butter) I have ever had. For the first time in my life, we got seconds of movie popcorn. I can't fail to mention the seats either.

Oh my gosh what a great addition to the Downtown strip. It is sooo beautiful inside the moment you walk in, and the restaurant and bar is so impressive. The menu is small but decently priced, and there is coffee and popcorn upstairs. The chairs are amazingly comfy inside the theater and you can even bring food and drinks inside! (only bought from the theater). I'm never ever going to Regal again, that's for sure.
Still even smells new! Here the third time in our 9 day Charlottesville workshop, ok that does not mean much because we watch a lot of movies , but it really is a good one! Hardly any advertising at least for the movies we saw , old time black and white pictures of Charlottesville before the movie starts so that's nice. They have healthy snacks , so as babaganoush and cut veggies and of course popcorn, with real butter, and only little salt, pretty amazing . Let me tell you about the seating ( theater 8!) the seat have a fe... read more
Great experience! Comfortable and welcoming. Very up to date. Please keep in mind that they just opened and are getting their footing established with the task of installing a consistent and reliable staff. A serious task in itself. Everyone we encountered were warm, welcoming and friendly. With that said our family viewed an animated flick and it was the only time our five year old son sat through the entire picture. The gummy bears helped with that as did the excellent popcorn with real clarified butter! Previews and ad... read more
Violet Crown is a welcome addition (replacement?) to the Downtown Mall! My first experience this past Tuesday was great and I look forward to returning in the future! The theater itself was lovely - if only all movie theaters had such cushy seats! They keep the previews short and there are hardly any advertisements - maybe even none! For being a movie theater, the food seemed reasonably priced and comparable to alternatives in the area (unfortunately, I didn't get anything to eat so I can't vouch for the quality!).
