Boluwatife A.★★★★★ — I like their food and I love their club.
Samuel A.★★★★★ — The atmosphere is probably the best in the area, however, service was very slow as waiters are overwhelmed. Poor customer:waiter ratio. Also, the indoor part of it can be hot. Best to visit on a day people are more likely to be indoors.
O. O.★★★★★ — This place is by the roadside. Their sitout is under a high-tension wire, which is very dangerous due to the unknown.
Adedotun I.★★★★★ — The bar and lounge has a nice setup with options for sit-out, private lounge, and open space. Service is average, but the atmosphere is cool to relax with friends. Parking can be a bit tricky, so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed their seafood though
Femi A.★★★★★ — The Dome is an event centre in Akure. Surprisingly the place is huge with a big conference hall and many smaller halls. The AC works perfectly. The convenience is accessible, well maintained and modern.
salihu Z.★★★★★ — International Conference center, The Dome it's big. We had our the JCI Gala Night the State Governor was in attendance. It's a magnificent edifice. Akure is a beautiful place 😍
Kaycee A.★★★★★ — Been there once. Omor I love the place. You people should be able to have a means of contact. I am always craving for that barbeque 😂
BigNJ★★★★★ — Beautifully designed, exterior and interior.
Yam and egg sauce was delicious
But they are short-staffed, our waiter was attending to more than one table at a time.
Though the food was affordable and tasty, it longer than expected.
The place was also too quiet, no music or sound whatsoever. It made our time there boring in a way.
Asides that, every corner is photo worthy.
Perfect for any kind of date or hangout, the seat arrangement fits any.
Easy to locate too, along the road of Oluwatuyi.
Sarafadeen G.★★★★★ — I spent a night at this hotel. But, at that moment there was a heavy music gushing out massively...this means if you don't want a noisy area. Do not come here. Later I got to know that they have clubs, for weekends...
Betty J.★★★★★ — Nice and cool place for relaxation and enjoyment
Fun is guaranteed💯 and I love the fact that the lounge has a charging space incase you run out of power
Christson S.★★★★★ — I attended Tech Xplore 1.0 at The Dome, Akure in 2024, and it was truly an amazing experience. The environment is lovely, serene, and very well suited for events of all kinds.
The open space gives the venue a refreshing feel and allows for good airflow and comfortable movement, even with a large number of attendees. The ambience was calm, neat, and professional, which added a lot of value to the overall experience of the event.
The Dome is a great choice for conferences, tech events, seminars, and social gatherings. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, beautiful, and well-organized event centre in Akure.
Daramola O.★★★★★ — The place is mind blowing one of a kind in the south west by the state government.
Adeyemi A.★★★★★ — Good Parking Space.
Correct interior decoration.
Air cooling satisfactory!
Mitchell A.★★★★★ — Nice event hall with all the necessary working amenities and hall divided into VIP and regular section
Cozy with good lightning
Nice and large Parking spaces
Devops Inc.★★★★★ — Could be better. The grill sucked. Electricity goes out sometimes and takes some minutes before it's restored. Nice environment though.
Christson S.★★★★★ — I had an amazing experience at Legacy lounge and bar; beautiful and calm atmosphere.
Akintayo H.★★★★★ — It is a nice place for event, it has 2 storey section with nice interior, it is perfect for wedding and whatever function you have in mind
Michael R.★★★★★ — The place was a top notch event and high class
uvie S.★★★★★ — A year ago I can say it was the place to be. Lately it's dissatisfying and disappointing. Poor service, poor food (except for the suya), staff are their own bosses and don't care about customers. If they could fight customers they definitely will. Very non chalant about everything.
Owners firing their oldest staff for incompetent people who just sit like they're in their living room without a care in the world. Owners have no knowledge of service business and shouldn't be in the business in my opinion cos they have no presence or any competent hand to deal with customers let alone regulars.
Seats have become empty day after day, even when people come they just watch football without as little as a bottle of water. Central cafe has lost its credibility and it's unfortunate the owners let it down this bad.

SAMYDEE★★★★★ — My experience at City Pulse Restaurant was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The service was painfully slow, and it took far too long for the food to arrive, only for it to not be worth the wait at all.
The food quality was terrible. The meat was excessively hard, clearly not fresh, and the entire meal tasted stale. Even worse, parts of the meat were undercooked, which is completely unacceptable.
On top of that, the staff were unprofessional and showed no urgency or concern. There was no visible management presence to handle complaints or take accountability.
Overall, a very poor experience. Slow service, bad food, and zero professionalism. I would strongly advise others to avoid this place.
