2 weeks agoLovely place, good food, me and my friends had the tasting menu. The food was good. All cooked well and compliments to the chef. Service was on point there when we needed and was very observant of our table. Atmosphere was a nice quiet place but seemed empty. It was a 19:00 ( 07:00 ) reservation and lasted until 21:30 ( 09:30 ) on a bank holiday on Friday. Overall service was good, food was good. We paid £450 for 4x tasting menues. 1 bottle of wine and 2 x cocktails. Price was a little expensive but the food was good so can't complain. I do recommend for a nice dinner out in Reading for a celebration or a fancy dinner.

a month agoCame for afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday. I must give props for the availability of a vegan afternoon tea menu in the first place, and the food was mostly great. Unfortunately our first choices of teas weren’t available (neither of them), and it was definitely the noisiest afternoon tea experience I’ve ever had Not the fault of staff, but it definitely affected our experience.

2 months agoWe enjoyed eating at the Reading Room last night. The whole experience was amazing. It wasn’t our first time there, so I’m happy the standard is consistently high. The food was delicious and looked beautiful. The staff were very professional and although they were always nearby, it didn’t feel awkward. The dinner finished with a really sweet, personal touch - couple of chocolates on a plate with a sign „happy anniversary”. I highly recommend the restaurant.

10 months agoThe venue is beautiful, exuding an air of class and importance. During our visit it was very quiet though, and the place felt empty, but this is most likely due to the date and time of our visit, which was in the early afternoon during the week. Presentation of food was 10/10, but the quality was lacking, especially considering the high prices on many of the items. Our steak dish arrived severely overcooked (ordered it Medium), and a bit cold, but tasted good. The scallop starter we ordered was excellent. Well balanced flavours and perfect presentation. The staff were very friendly and acted professional. They also did a bit extra for us, which should be commended, as the nature of our visit was a celebration. If you have the money to waste and want to impress, this place should be considered. But if money is tight, but you still want quality and class, there are other places very close by which might be better for you.
