  “Booked a table to watch the football, the tv closest to us wasn’t showing the footie but they happily changed it so we had a better view, brilliant idea with the rental phone chargers, cheap and ideal when ur out! Food exceptional!!! Live band down the back end was brilliant, not too loud to drown out the football but a cracking atmosphere!!”

  “It was my first visit to the bar and I'm also not happy to say the least with the fact that unless you specifically specify that you want 2 cocktails (when it clearly states on the cocktail menu 2 4 1), you will only be provided with 1 drink/glass. Once you have paid & not even moved from the bar with your drink, bother asking where the 2nd/free one is, they won't give it to you as you never specified you wanted the 2. Before you think I may have wanted 2 different cocktails and mix & match wasn't allowed, I want 2 of the same cocktail. The attitude on the staff was nonchalant about the fact & point blank refused to provide the extra/free 2-4-1 drink.”

  “Love the live music, one of the best places in Cardiff for this and welcomes people of all ages. Great atmosphere enough to relax and dance it you want to. Good choice of drinks and offers of two for one for happy hour always goes down well.”

  “I don’t recommend Philharmonic for bottomless brunch. I paid £40 for the Golden Hour Bottomless Brunch for my birthday, and unfortunately the service was really disappointing. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived, despite waiting around 5 minutes. There were 6 of us but only 5 were doing bottomless, yet we waited 35 minutes and only had one drink. Drinks were forgotten, brought incorrectly, and we had to keep asking to order more. One friend ordered an orange gin and was told, “This should be orange gin…” — it wasn’t. If you enjoy being your own waiter, chasing your drinks and playing “guess what they’ve brought you this time”, this might be the place for you. The food came quickly, but the chips were VERY salty and the burger bun was so hard I could’ve used it as a doorstop. We were also only given one set of cutlery, which we had to ask for. At the end, we were told we needed to leave for another booking, which we understood. I asked if we could wait for two friends who were in the bathroom, and was told that was fine. Two minutes later, another worker told us to leave immediately. I explained the situation, but she still insisted. I found this really rude, especially as it was my birthday. I’d personally stick with Slug & Lettuce. It’s usually much busier, but I’ve had better service and actually received the drinks I ordered.”

  “Had an amazing bottomless brunch here with work — 9 of us and we all loved it! Great value, delicious cocktails, huge portions and an amazing atmosphere with the live band. Our waiter Carly was brilliant and kept the drinks flowing the whole 90 minutes! Couldn’t recommend it enough!”

  “We had an excellent experience recently at the Philharmonic for our quarterly team social. We went for the ultimate bottomless brunch that was available at a great rate for a week day evening. The service from Courtney and Hannah was outstanding! Can’t thank them though, super friendly ladies and they made our evening really fun! Would highly recommend and will be back again soon!”

  “I had my birthday bottomless brunch here and they made my night perfect. Hannah who sorted everything out for us was absolutely amazing. She was so organised and professional whilst also being friendly and accommodating for our large party. Food was fantastic and fresh. Drinks were flowing and very nice. I'd highly recommended here for any celebration. I was very impressed!”

  “Had such a lovely time at bottomless brunch! Carly was absolutely amazing—she was so friendly, welcoming, and made us feel really looked after from the moment we arrived. She was incredibly attentive and so quick at bringing over our drinks, making sure our glasses were never empty. Nothing was too much trouble, and she always had a smile on her face. Her great service really made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Carly—we’ll definitely be back!”

  “We came for bottomless brunch, we had the most attentive waitress! I’m only sorry that I didn’t catch her name because I’d love to give her the credit. Drinks were lovely and served promptly, food was great - I had the sausage sandwich which comes with skin-on fries and was delicious. The turnaround time for food was very quick which was a nice bonus because it was quite busy! Highly recommend for bottomless brunch.”
