This is my favourite Village Gold Class Cinema of all those in Victoria. Unlike the others, I've had the most consistently good service here, been in cinemas with fewer seats (thereby being more private and peaceful), and the food has been consistently above average. Apart from that, it has the same perks and downsides as all the other Gold Class cinemas. The seats are very comfortable, the service is generally good, it's more private than regular cinemas, and the food is pretty good, but both the price for admission and food are very expensive and you could only really justify it for a special occasion. It's still my favourite cinema to go to though.

Approximate cost: $~$35 Per Person (+ Food/Drinks)

I've been to all the Gold Class Village Cinemas and this was one of the worst. The food is good, equivalent to all the other Gold Class cinemas in that the food is above average but overpriced. The service here was the worst, the woman who greeted us was obnoxious, rude and condescending for no reason at all. The other people working there weren't any better, they told me they were just getting me change for the food and never came back until I went to get them. The cinema itself had the most seats I have seen in Gold Class (not a good thing if you want more privacy and peace), and with all the noise in there from other people, it was no different to the normal cinemas. The seats were much more comfortable than normal cinemas though.

There are some unique aspects to the Jam Factory Gold Class that other Gold Class cinemas don't tend to have. First, it has the most unique lounge area outside the cinemas and it is fairly luxurious. Secondly, this is just a minor thing, but the seats inside the cinemas are actually coloured gold like they are in Village's advertisements, whereas other Gold Class Cinemas have red seats. However, these unique aspects are not enough to make me want to return here. The horrible service and the cinemas with so many seats are enough to make you want to go to another Village Gold Class Cinema that does have good service and less seats.

Approximate cost: $35 Per Person (+ Food/Drinks)

The food is always pretty good there, and there's quite a large selection of food to choose from. The service is usually attentive and friendly. The price is pretty good too. At night, it's pretty quiet and relaxing.

The buffet has a large variety of food. The environment is pretty luxurious. The service is decent, but nothing special. The desserts are fantastic, especially the chocolate fountain. It's quite expensive for the buffet, but it is pretty good.

The steak there was the best I've had, and the entrees are good too. The environment is luxurious and nice, too bad it's impossible to see out the windows at night as it's too dark. The service was also impressive. As for the price, the food there tends to be quite expensive, but considering the quality of food, it may just be worth it.

One of the better Italian restaurants I have been to. Great entrees and pastas, very good service, and it's not overly expensive so I'd definitely come back. The environment is also pretty nice and relaxing.

Very good entree and main, which arrived fairly fast. It has a nice selection of food. It has a pretty good environment too. The only downside was the service whom were not available and ignored us except to take our order. Furthermore, they forgot to get us our drinks.

Fantastic service, comfortable seats, and everything is pretty cheap there which gives it great value as the food is very good too. There's also American food and candy products to buy there which is nice.
