Hello small theater! Looks so cute and cozy! I saw mostly old people in there but hey I’m #soknotyoung this looks perfect if I don’t want to be around people. Shhhh don’t tell to many about this local gem! ;)

This is a great theater with one of the best screens and the best SOUND in Silicon velly.

Good movie theater for an ok price. Old school seating thats pretty comfortable. Not a lot of amenities or anything special but they play good films.

We saw Echo In The Canyon, which I highly recommend, especially if you were part of the sixties.Such a wonderful place to enjoy a movie, which also includes the best popcorn on the Peninsula. And the recent remodel and sound upgrade enhances the whole movie experience.

Solid space, only 2 screens, very low key due to it being tucked away in the corner of property. .

A treasure. A renovated old style cinema that shows celluloid! A pipe organist rises from the stage between movies. Treat yourself. Cheap popcorn!

Quaint little movie theater that shows films that the BIG movie theater doesnt show. Its in my neighborhood. I cant wait to go again!

Older theater with traditional seating (not stadium style). Probably could use an update, but its nice to be able to see Indy and smaller release films without having to drive into SF.

A Cinema in the old style, great deals on tuesday and popcorn are awesome, the only drawback would be that it only has two screens

Nice quaint comfortable theatre that had two good movies showing. Dark waters and honeyboy.

Very clean and tidy. Staff was polite and friendly. When I brought up the fact that I wasnt charged for a concession item, I was thanked and given the item free of charge after trying to pay for it. Fellow audience members were considerate only one cell phone screen and no side conversations after the previews began. Enjoyed hearing people laugh, cringe, and sigh along with me while watching The Favorite. Parking was easy and traffic wasnt bad since it was a 7:45 showing. Will definitely drive down from San Mateo again to see limited release films here.

Nice place to see good movies! Support your local art house!!

Ciné Arts is still hanging on. We have been to three attractions in as many weeks, including Apollo 11 and Tolkien. Weekdays are often quiet, but these were very poorly attended. Its a clean, comfortable and well appointed theatre with mostly adequate parking. The only part of the experience that was somewhat disappointing was ordering at the concession counter. The employee seemed distracted and somewhat inattentive. It took a couple of attempts to get the order right. Otherwise good.

Not the most receptive entrance. I bought a ticket & the latino guy said Here you go like he was feeding his dog rather than being gracious for a paying customer...; Apart from that, the seats are nice, but not recliners. Main thing is how they treat you, & it was lacking. Even the elderly guy in front of me got mistreated...the Latino guy said u want your ticket?

Almost empty theaters all the time. Wonder when it is going to close.

This movie theater is a nice small local theater. Its still run by Cinemark, so tickets are about the same price as the cinema 16 in mountain view, and the concessions are run the same. The movie selection seems to be geared towards an older crowd, so if youre looking for the latest movies youll be going to the cinema 16. Theres only one theater house at this one, and all the seats are normal theater seats. For the price you pay for movies, Id say its more worth it to go to the cinema 16, but the movie selection may have you come to this one, it depends on your preferences. All in all, its enjoyable, but not as good as the cinema 16 in Mountain View.

Great theater. Large seats, extremely comfortable, great parking.

Nice theater, wide rows giving you plenty of leg room. Acoustics and sight lines are good. It is not stadium setting so you are looking up at the screen.It is a single screen theater that shows the non-main stream movies on occasion. It is a little difficult to find amongst the surrounding buildings.Prices are not bad for the area, parking is good.

Old school movie theater. Line can be long but everyone is very friendly. Seating is ok, but usually not too crowded. Great charger for electric car so you can plug in while watching a movie

Its ok. The theaters have not been updated. In fact it still feels like two theaters that were originally one - longer than wide, screen off placed. But it does carry less major pics a lot, which is nice.

Not your run of the mill movies Mostly independent films️️

Nice theater with comfy seats. Ticket prices are not bad for the area. It gets a bit cold inside because of the AC.

Great access, easy parking and close in.

Love the convenience and secluded nature of this movie theater. Tucked in the middle of an office complex it is a hidden away gem.

Great old timey theater....no fancy lounge chairs here...just great velour stadium type seats.

Only one movie showing here at a time -- I dont know how they survive. Its an older theater, and the interior reflects that. This theater doesnt seem to have enough staff either, because the same person collecting movie tickets was the same person selling them.

First time here. Friendly attendees and great service. Roomie seats.

Its an older style theater especially the seating. No stadium seating. Only two screens. The auditorium was almost packed full for the movie On the Basis of Sex. The crowd was mostly about 50 plus years old. Basic cinemark food but most people didnt buy anything. I would go again for CineArts movies.

Old theatreComfortable but dated

I appreciate local theaters that give the independent films a chance.

Great local theater. The recently updated seats are quite comfortable.

Great parking, easy to get to, what is there not to like? Okay, so they dont have the uber comfy loungers, but it translates into being able to accommodate more guests, lessens the risk of being turned away for those of us who tend to head to the movies at the last minute without prior planning.

A good place to see the latest indie flick. Two large theaters with great popcorn and snacks including ice cream. They dont have the nice recliners yet or reserved seating but its still a comfy theater for those movies that arent playing at the megaplex.

Wonderful small art house theater in a corporate complex. 2 screens. Never crowded. Its been on the verge of closing for years but its still hanging in there. Go and help keep it open!

Patronize this theater that features independent movies. We need to keep their doors open.

Located in an old building, it offers not so popular movies. Reminds me of the old movie theaters. I enjoyed the movie, was glad they were showing it since I missed it at the regular showings.

Standard Cinemark ticket price, concession availability and price. Reasonably nice seats (not recliners). No reserved seating, and parking is easy. Usually fairly empty; you dont need to arrive 20 minutes early to secure a seat.They play only indie/art films,. There are 2 theaters, so they usually play 2 titles at a time.Huge amount of legroom in the seats. If I straighten my legs, I cant even touch the seat in front of me.

This movie theater shows a lot of good movies from the independent movie realm and less mainstream pictures, which is awesome. However, this theater is dying for an update. Also this is not your traditional stadium seating, there is only a slight tilt in the seating levels. It is a bit awkward, but it works. Concessions are good and staff is helpful and courteous.

Only 2 screens so easy to get in and out.

Classic theater with two screen. Expect a bit of a vintage vibe here.The seats and screens are less big and less modern then youd see at a normal theater, but it gives it more of a quaint feel.Location can be hard to find as it is located in a office park

Small theater with just two screens but shows movies which might not be available elsewhere. Not directly visible from El-Camino Real as it is located behind office buildings. Very well maintained facility and clean restrooms.

Watched AMAZIN GRACE. ARETHA FRANKLIN

Quaint little theater. I really enjoyed this experience on a Saturday night instead of the chaos at one of the typical large theaters. A lot of reviewers claimed it was difficult to find but I had no problem spotting it.

They warm up the theatre which is great and unlike other cinemas.

Crystal clear projection and sound. Unusual movies often showing here as at most CineArts Theaters. Friendly staff. Enjoyable Experience!

Chairs are comfortable. Food is what you get at a theater. Sr. Discount $8.00 per movie.

Good movies that often arent (yet) playing elsewhere. But seating is rather dated.

Oldie but pretty! Popcorn and soda are pricey, but the leg room is great. I recommend it! Only 2 movies, but usually good ones.

Very small for a theater but very cozy

Beat the crowds and relax. Comfortable and clean. Catch the popular movie before it leaves the area.

Feeling exclusive. Love the coziness of this theater

Great place for alterative films. Cozy. Nice snack selection. Friendly staff.

Great theater with great seating. Clean, good sound and projection. Not usually the action flicks, but shows the quality films! Prices are reasonable.

CineArts is a great little theater with beautiful facilities and super friendly staff. The movies are a little less mainstream but they are always good. Lets try to keep this place alive!

Service ed excellent. Food excellent. Feels like a French bistro, close to jome.

Nice theater showing mostly new indy movies. They have a big sign on the street, but the theater itself is hidden near the back door to the office building. The owners keep threatening to close this theater, so show your support by going to the movies if you like these kinds of films.

Feels like an old time theatre. You can see some non-mainstream movies here :)

Love theyre still a small theater. I can go to the box office pay and go to ANY seat I want.

Older theater with only two screens, but they show quality movies and everyone is friendly. Not posh like the Santana Row version, but you also avoid the crowds here. Bathrooms for men/women are on opposite ends. The food is overpriced as youd expect, but they have reusable tubs you can buy that include cheaper refills for a calendar year, which is pretty clever if youre like us and need some popcorn before or during your movie.

Cheap tickets Tuesdays. Reasonable, though no-reclining, seats.

Quaint little single screen theater playing limited release gems and art movies. The coffee shop is wonderful and they have popcorn and ice cream.

Very pleasant experience. Will go back.

I have been coming to these theaters for decades. Back then first run movies would be shown. Now the independant movies are shown which is great. I love the new seats. The employees are very friendly and the bathrooms are spotless.

Decent movie theater, too many ads that will drive you a bit crazy.

Good parking, easy to get to. Comfortable seats.

Nice movie theater but limited options.

Cool little exclusive place. Plenty of parking. Movie staff is nice but not overly friendly. Limited consessions.

Good offerings, sound is very good comfortable theater. I like it.

Comfortable seats, great sound quality. There is ice cream at the concession.

Comfy chairs. Great space.

Still a nice destination after all these years.

Nice little theater. Feels pretty commercial for an independent- certainly not a cozy run down place.

Quiet, civilized service was thoughtful and friendly.

Like this theater, although in Palo Alto, prices are good, clean and good ambiance. Show great movies that sometimes are not in other theaters.

Great little theatre, Good snack food selection.

Theater with easy access and interesting films.

The Cinema is truly a joyful experience to view wonderful selections of outstanding movies.

Wonderful little place with the best art house films. Great location for dinner and a movie!

This place is a neighborhood gem. Small theater. Fresh popcorn, coffee. Interesting movies.

Love this theatre. Screens movies less likely to be seen elsewhere. Easy to get last minute tickets.

A beautiful, clean cinema. Theatre personnel are professional and nice. Great, comfortable seats. Picture quality is the best.

I really like this cinema which seems to be a hybrid of old school and new cinema. Great popped corn and wonderful sound.

A tiny theater, but with great selections of films at great times.

Weird old school big screen art theater that passed by every modern theater innovation and comfort. Makes up with this with esoteric selections, though this chain location doesnt really compete with three other indie art theaters in town.

Great indy cinema in an unexpected location. Comfy seats, friendly staff.

A small and intimate venue, a nice relief from big crowded complexes.

As a theater it gets only three stars due to its long lines, rather ordinary decor and lack of reserved seating. Given that it shows mostly limited run and independent movies Ill add a star as it brings a bit more culture to the south bay area.

Comfy seats, perfect volume and temperature. Will definitely come back!

Love that there are still independent theaters like CineArts that are dedicated to diversity of films.

Comfortable theatre with a variety of films. Nice canteen.

Good theatre! Plays movies you are unlikely to find elsewhere

Great two screen movie theater with concessions and arthouse films.

Went for SFJFF. The seats are comfortable, the popcorn is delicious. A great place to watch a movie.

Need to have a second person handling tickets so those with online purchases can enter theater.

This movie theater small easy to navigate and only has two screens

Limited availability movies. Nice snacks. Comfy seats.

Nice quiet little (two screen) theater.

The lobby was very clean and theaters meticulously so. The staff was also very friendly. Id definitely go back!

Local theater, interesting movies rather than just the generic blockbusters of the big movie plexes

Great (albeit small) film selection, in an old art house feeling.
