Table decorations in Reading

“We were visiting the area for the weekend celebrating 50th birthday. La Table D'Alix was a salivating experience which we really enjoyed. A lovely warm welcome by the restaurant owners Antoine and their staff. Very helpful and informative on the menus and ingredients. En attendant - Freshly baked bread buns with local butter. Saucisson, a generous sliced cured meat with hazelnuts and gherkins. Tasted very nice and was good whilst the chef prepared and cooked our order. I ordered a Raspberry Cosmopolitan which was served with an orange peel lighted then served in the cocktail to release the orange zest aroma. Starters - Cheese soufflé, soft tasty and Cheesy and the accompanying sauce was delicious. Sea scallops, tender, went beautifully with the pancetta and celery micro greens. Mains - Cod, again tender soft and flaky, curry sauce not overpowering, very nice flavour. Hunters Chicken, tenderly cooked and moist with flavourful olive tapenade and basil, the kale was seasoned well and crisp. The Romanesco nicely charred. Desserts - Tarte tartin, sweet pastry with caramelised fruit. Chocolat surprise, oh my word this was soo good! A Chocolate mouse that had a praline biscuit base that resembled maltesers flavour, the mouse was gorgeous and I loved the caramelised crispy zest decorated on top which gave the dessert a hint of sweet lemons. The Staff pleasantly surprised by adding a sparkler candle to my husband's dessert and singing Happy Birthday which was really thoughtful, kind and made the occasion special. Thank you so much! :-) Wines - Upon asking the restaurant owner advice on wines, I had a glass of white wine which was light and fragrant. It accompanied the chicken very well. I also had a dessert wine which was again light, softly sweet and fragrant. We have dined at a few Mitchelin restaurants and this has been an overall very pleasant experience. The Bill was in my view very reasonable for fine dining. I liked that the owner's family participated in the dining experience and it reminded me of time spent in France dining with family and friends. Thank you.”

“Delicious food, lovely friendly staff and a busy restaurant but quiet/calm atmosphere. Exactly what we needed for a little birthday celebration.”

“The food was good but was left under the hot plate for a little too long. I could see the food just chilling there for about 15 minutes, but I understand on the night me and my sister went a staff member didn't come in so there was a bit of a back loge. Overall it was a good and nice experience.”

“As a fan of Indian food we thought we would try the new Chili's and we were definitely impressed. The menu being regional to Southern India means it is not what you see in your typical curry house, but the waiter here was amazing, helping guide our choices and tuning dishes to our taste. If I could I would rate them 6 stars”

“I ordered my Steelcase Gesture from Hunts Office on February 17th 2025, and received it on Friday the 21st of March. I was kept informed of the wait time, with updates from Jenny, who I'm grateful for answering all my emails promptly. The package with my pre-assembled chair arrived on time according to the tracking I was given, the driver even messaged and called to let me know when he would be arriving. Nice service. My chair arrived in perfect condition, I'm very happy with the service Hunts Office provided, thank you.”

“Simple but great sushi, noodle and rice options with a good range of proteins including tofu steak. We went with a salmon sushi platter which didn't disappointed; a couple of chicken ramen and a chicken katsudon - all were simply great. Their homemade chilli oil is exceptional and should be used sparingly! Nice team. Go support.”

“The foods were amazing, and the price was very affordable. I highly recommend this place. I feel like it’s so underrated because when I was there, it was so quiet. Definitely deserves more recognition.”

“Excellent Italian restaurant. Fabulous food and exceptional service.”

“Amazing Italian restaurant!! Me and my daughter went there for a meal off chance. Even it was quite late the chef was happy to cook for us a meal that was not on a menu! Our meal was fresh and full of flavour! The staff were friendly and made us welcome from the moment we arrived! Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or just a delicious plate of pasta, this place delivers. I can’t wait to come back – it truly felt like a little slice of Italy!”

“My partner and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary here. Felt so welcome and the service was great. Food was absolutely delicious!”

“Had a fantastic evening here for my wife's birthday. Attentive service, just the right amount of time between courses and food to die for. My only complaint was I over ate but that was down to a menu with such a fantastic selection I ordered too much and it was so good it would have been criminal not to finish it all. i highly recommend La Galleria for any occasion.”

“I was in the area for the week and had dinner/lunch here three times. The food is fantastic and the Guinness is top notch - and the staff are also very helpful and friendly!”

“This place is gorgeous. I was there for a meeting so can’t comment on food or drink but the grounds alone are reason enough to go. Would certainly like to stay the night on my next visit. There is ample car parking here. Would recommend driving as it is in a rural spot.”

“What a beautiful place. Food was stunning. Becca our waitress was amazing. She was so helpful. Constantly coming to check if we needed anything as there was 13 of us. Definitely will return when we are in the area next.”

“Pretty good pork burrito. It's pretty wet and messy to eat like a true Mexican burrito. The bowls are also good, pero muy picante.”

“We use Oriental 5 6 times a year. They are very nice people and the food is excellent.”

“The hospitality at Coconut Tree Restaurant is truly warm and genuine. I am already in Sri Lanka, but this place feels like an entirely different experience — completely new and refreshing. If you are looking for a new reality, come to Coconut Tree. Here, you can discover new tastes, a new atmosphere, and perhaps the beginning of your own blossoming journey. One suggestion: I brought a lovely elderly lady , and she could not read the menu easily. A large-print menu for elders would be very helpful and much appreciated.”

“Lovely food made to order just a shame I forgot to ask for king prawns and mushrooms. However I've been thinking of beansprouts, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots since breakfasts.”

“We ordered our food from Simple Thai (in Thatcham), after recommendations from friends and weren’t disappointed! Front of house was very friendly and welcoming and the food was outstanding and delicious. Ordering online was easy, with different options to suit our tastes. Our food was cooked to perfection and we’ll certainly be recommending Simple Thai to others and using them on many more occasions. Credit to all the kitchen staff and all that make Simple Thai what it is. Thank-you, (Simple Thai) for making our evening, Perfect!!”
