Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
SOUND Cafe offers a vibrant experience with "excellent food and service" and a lively atmosphere. Guests love the "bottomless brunch," with drinks always topped up. The unique robotic food delivery adds a fun twist. Though some service hiccups occur, the friendly staff, live music, and charming ambience make it a "highly recommended" destination.

    We had a great time. The food and drinks were wonderful and our server was brilliant. The only slight disappointment for us was we were expecting live music. Having visited previously and the fact we understood that the whole experience was for the music, this was really disappointing. Luckily the food and drinks made up for it but we did have a voucher so didn’t pay full price. I’m not sure how the bottomless brunch justifies such a high price when the experience is no different to other bottomless brunches in high are considerably cheaper. For the full price the drink options and food just wouldn’t be worth it without the live music.

    We have been to The Sound Cafe many times before and always had a great time. This time we brought our daughter with us for her first experience to celebrate her 50th birthday. And we had a fantastic time !! The food is always good, the drinks are great and very “bottomless”!! And the staff are very friendly, warm and welcoming. It is highly recommended. Our young Italian waiter from Palermo was wonderful and it’s always so good to see Rafael, especially in his new role and the other familiar waiters. They made a fuss of our daughter and she loved it!! Thank you and see you in June, when we are back for my birthday.

    We’ve had a family meal at the Sounds Cafe previously and loved the atmosphere and ambience of the venue, however on this occasion it was such a let down. The table was booked for 9 people and we had a long table right under a large screen TV showing the six nations rugby. This wouldn’t have been an issue if it was just the visual, but someone at the venue decided it would be appropriate to stream the audio too. And it was so loud throughout the restaurant and the bar area. We asked if this could be switched to music and keep the game on the TV but was told that the majority of the bookings were here for the rugby. It was the Ireland v France game and very few in the restaurant or bar were watching the screens. We asked if the sound could be adjusted during the ad break at half time but this didn’t happen. And then when the game ended (Ireland lost by the way!) the adverts continued to play over the speakers. We asked if this could be changed and that was switched to music after 10 minutes. The atmosphere was instantly lifted, and got back to the ethos of being at the Sound Cafe. Apart from this, the food was great, drink options were good and the service was good.

    Dear Chris, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the food, drink options and service during your visit, but we truly apologise for the disruption caused by the loud rugby audio. We understand how important it is to maintain a comfortable atmosphere, especially during a family meal and we regret that this impacted your experience. We appreciate your patience in bringing this to our attention and we will work on improving how we manage the balance between entertainment and the overall dining environment moving forward. We're happy to hear that once the music was restored, the atmosphere returned to what you expected from SOUND Cafe. Kind regards, Guest Services SOUND Cafe @ The Cumberland
