Lovely food and great service for the young man who neither said please or thank you and largely ignored us through the process of paying. He may be having an ‘off’ day but he also took the shine off what would have been a 5 star lunch. Will try again.

A lovely team of staff and very quick and efficient service, a trifle noisy for our taste, very convenient location just off the main centre of Cambridge

The Orator was a great choice for a relaxed family family lunch. The main attraction was its large, airy and gracious dining room: high-ceilinged and flooded with light on a sunny Sunday. It was also not super busy. Perhaps Cambridge has not yet cottoned on to what a nice place this is. Food was pretty good, wine was fairly priced and, all in all, it made a very agreeable change from The Ivy.

I arrived early to have some drinks at the bar. I was on crutches so I wasn’t able to stand around so the staff told me to wait by the entrance in a seat. We were then totally forgotten about for 50 minutes and then ended up just getting out table. The staff were apologetic but no goodwill gesture was made. Service was the rest of the evening was very slow.

Service seemed a little slow. Took a while to get our initial drinks. Main course was delicious. Dessert very disappointing but was deducted from the bill. Lemon posset was like rubber. Very poor. Saying that surroundings were lovely, would try again

The venue is very comfortable and attractive. There was plenty of space for couples/families etc. The starters were good. Lovely breads. The side order salad was very poor - basically what seemed like bowl of washed leaves with a very soapy dressing (not very Sumac IMHO). Other dishes were satisfactory though not overly well presented. Whilst the staff were friendly, they seemed very inexperienced ie not offering high chairs etc. The service was a bit too slow. But must emphasise they were thoroughly pleasant but seemed to lack training.

The venue is fantastic! Modern but classic and spacious. Such a great looking restaurant but it is let down massively by slow and unattentive service. We waited more than 5 minutes to be seated while queue started to grown out the door for people just wanting to get a table. Once seated, even with a reservation, we waited a while for someone to come to take a drinks order. Even worse, tables on either side of us, who came after us, were served and had paid before someone even came to clear our table. The unattentive service was appalling. The food was mediocre at best. The crispy gnocchi is an interesting concept and well presented but sadly lacks any sort of flavor. The flatbreads are good but the bread gets soggy quickly so be prepared to eat fast or have cold and soggy bread. We had high hopes for this place but sadly it was disappointing in many ways.
