Gold Class was cosy and the staff consistently delivered great service. I really missed the old menu though, food was much better. Cocktail menu was decent.
I've been going to Village Cinemas Crown for years now, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. Let me break it down: Parking: The parking space is ample, which is a relief. It's convenient to find a spot most of the time. Temperature: Here's where things get a bit tricky. Sometimes it's too cold, and other times it's too hot inside the cinema. It would be great if they could regulate the temperature better. Security and Ticket Check: Honestly, this aspect needs improvement. The security check and ticket check process is very negligible. It doesn't feel very secure, and sometimes it seems like anyone could just walk in without a ticket. Overall, Village Cinemas Crown has its pros and cons. The parking is good, but the temperature control and security measures could be better.
Had problems becoming a member as the website didn't send the code we needed. We got it and bought the tickets. It was our first visit to an Australian cinema so we just picked the movie and was a bit shocked when we got the price, but thought, let's try and see what that is. It turned out we had bought to Gold Class. Imagine our surprise. We ended up taken the full experience so ordered wine, food and got free popcorn... extra cost. We will remember this for years to come. It was expensive but what a treat. Even the movie was good.
This review is for their Gold Class section only : have been a regular for years now. Have to say their previous brown suede seats were much more comfortable before they swapped them out for the current lower quality black leather ones. Whilst I can see it being much easier for the cleaners to work on, the previous seats hugged you more instead of push you back out when you try to settle into it. Having said that, if you haven't experienced the previous seats before, you probably won't feel the lux a little bit sucked out of the whole experience because the food quality and service has consistently remained top notch. I tried their seasonal set in my most recent visit - 3 course meal for $50 with chicken wings for entree, chicken salad for main and lava cake for desert, accompanied by 2 cocktails for $35. You can look at that and think that's way too much to spend for just watching a movie, plus tickets are already expensive, but i think you'll find it hard to find another restaurant that will serve you the same quality and quantity of food for the same price, so when you think of it all in combination, it's actually good value especially if you can get a discounted ticket. Toilets are also always very clean. I like to make all my food orders before being seated, that way everything is paid for whilst ensuring they scan my village card for points accrual, and I don't have to wait for service - food and drinks just flow through throughout the entire movie like a beautiful symphony, no need for button pressing and waiting and missing part of the movie script whilst talking to the servers. At this branch, you can also earn crown points in addition to village points at the ticket box, so book in person for that extra reward - note crown points only given for tickets, restaurant services are separate and can only accrue village rewards points.
Me and a friend had a great experience at the gold class movie. The chairs are super comfortable, clean and easy to recline backwards or lift your legs up for extra comfort during the movie. The meals are able to be pre-ordered and the staff bring them out at different stages during the movie so that you have something to nibble on for the entire movie time. Highlight of the food would be the zucchini wedges with feta cheese.
