Lovely Lunch 
For my birthday approx 20 colleagues and I visited for lunch. The service was fast and efficient and the meals ordered arrived swiftly and were tasty and hot. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. The large garden on the banks of the river Kennet is well equipped for families.

Review of Rowbarge Inn The
18 Apr 08, 13:42
Very Nice! 
Situated on the banks of the river the Rowbarge, part of the Blubeckers chain of restaurants, offers great food in a welcoming atmosphere. The decor is clean, crisp and modern. The Lemon Posset is to die for and I managed to get the chef to give me the recipie! They do great Sunday lunches that are especially popular with families.

Review of Santa Fe

yummy cocktail!
Although this restaurant is due to shut down next month it was packed with a great atmosphere. The meal ordered for eight people was spot on and service was very quick. To finish rather than have a pud try one of the cocktails 'Sneaky After 8' a creamy, chocolate, minty, alcoholic dream!

Review of Waterlily Restaurant

always busy
They have now changed thier name to Zyka however, the staff have remained the same. Always busy on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You will need to book. The service is always fast and efficient and the food is good with several specials to choose from.

Review of Himalyan Hot Spot

not good quality 
I found the food here to be of a rather poor standard, very watery and luke warm dishes and not a particularly welcoming atmosphere. The staff were not overly friendly. Would not go back.

Review of Reading Central Cars

never let me down
Having used this company several times through work I have used them many times for personal use. The drivers are always friendly and competant drivers. They have never let me down and always turned up when booked and have never let other people 'steal' my cab as many companys do.

Review of Pepe Sale

authentic
This is a situated on the outskirts of the town centre and has a very loyal following. The food is of a very high standard and dishes are authentic Sardinian style and not to badly priced. The staff are friendly and efficient with a very welcoming atmosphere.

Review of Forresters
24 Apr 08, 13:47
poor management
Whilst Forresters have built up a good reputation in the Berkshire area I find the prices to be very high for the poor standard of workmanship received. I would not go back as for a high bill there was little change to my hair.

Review of ASK
24 Apr 08, 14:06
yummy!
right in the centre of Reading ASK never disappoints. The service is excellant and the food is always freshly cooked in full view of the diners so you know its fresh. It gets busy quickly so you need to book at weekends especially. The decor is clean, crisp and modern.

Review of Zizzi
24 Apr 08, 14:37
don't rip you off
I visited Zizzi on Valentines night and unlike other restaurants they didn't hike the prices up. Just the normal menu with some 'special options' very refreshing! It was packed with couples as you would expect and the service could not be faulted, very fast and the food as usual to a very high standard. The house red is worth a taste and very reasonably priced.
