"I was here on a date. we asked if we could have drinks at the bar and the manager said yes, while we noticed a table in the restaurant area at the bar and asked a waiter if we were sitting there and. the menu. he said yes, we wanted to order dinner when the manager came and told us we had to go. the table was not reserved as we asked the waiter. After he refused to give an explanation why we could not sit there and order food, he took our drinks and returned them to the bar. not only was this humiliating, but completely unreliable. the manager insulted me when we went out after he refused to give a real explanation for his actions. Maybe he doesn't like black people or gay people or train his staff not right. or maybe all three? here's a photo, if you see him, can you find out?"

"The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was disappointing and the service was slow. We went for a quick lunch during our lunch hour, but ended up waiting 20 minutes just for our drinks, leaving us with only 15 minutes to eat our meal. The menu offers a diverse selection, and my friend's Italian roasted teigcake, called pizza fritta, was very interesting. However, my salad was disappointing with a bland dressing. Overall, we will not be returning to this restaurant."

"Designed like an American restaurant with a mix of booths and tables but it wasn’t squashed. The waitress was friendly, professional and helpful. The music wasn’t so loud you couldn’t hear each other and you didn’t feel rushed to finish like some places. The food was really good and the portions were sensible. One of our party had a steak which was over done but when mentioned to the waitress she was very apologetic and reduced the bill to compensate. We all had a great time and left very happy with the service and the food on the whole. I would definitely go back just for lunch or dinner with friends."

"Having made a booking via OpenTable and receiving a confirmation email, 24 hours later had a phone call from Browns to say they could offer me a table at 5pm or 9pm but not at 7pm which was the time of my booking. No apologies just that the way it is. OpenTable just blamed Browns and said I could always phone the restaurant to confirm a booking, not seeing the ridiculousness of that suggestion as it renders their platform to irrelevance. So I am giving an all round one star, but to be clear we did not eat there."

"Honestly this place needs to hire friendlier staff. Two of them were completely unsuitable, especially one of the managers on the floor. Couldn't wait to walk away within seconds of serving the table. I mean when you ask someone how the food is, at least try and pretend you're listening to the answer! When we ask for black pepper....we mean freshly ground pepper....not the cheap stuff you leave on the table. Food took a while to arrive (25mins) when we asked for everything (starters and mains) to come at the same time. I don't know why you get penalised whenever we go for this option but that was a let down. Food was well cooked and enjoyable but the experience was not great. And back to the useless manager when we ask for a receipt after paying with a credit card, we want the credit card receipt not the pre printed bill with the list of items ordered."

"The Wagamama restaurant in Reading is in a good location close to the Oracle. The place itself was ok but the music was too loud and the atmosphere reminded me of school cafeterias. They have a vegan and gluten-free menu although only one dish was gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan. The quality of the food is good and very fresh. Unfortunately, our table wasn’t cleaned before we were placed so we had to sit next to a lonely shrimp, in addition we weren’t given cutlery for the soup-like curry nor was the staff properly trained to serve wine and drinks. In a nutshell: ok but nothing special or remarkable about this place."

"First may I start with Langans in December is one of the best this year I was very disappointed to be literally thrown out of the restaurant along with everyone else for a private party hire they cleared the tables whilst you were sitting at them and I had my chair taken whilst I was getting up!! A few people in the restaurant knew this was happening before their booking but I booked in August and had no idea until I got there where I would have changed my date! The food is ok service and ambience excellent !!! Just left very disappointed I was not warned about the closure"

"The service was quite disappointing. At the beginning of the evening, we informed our waitress that we had tickets for a show at the Royal Albert Hall, and therefore had time constraints. However, despite this, she was very slow in taking our order and serving us. We had a reservation around 6 PM, so the restaurant was quite empty, with only two other tables occupied. By the end of our meal, our bill was incorrect, and we had to send it back for correction. While the food was delicious, the service detracted significantly from the overall dining experience."

"We had a table for eight for Sunday lunch and decided to go with the set menu, which offered great value at £20 for three courses. There were four options for each course: starters, mains, and desserts. We started with calamari, spicy meatballs, and halloumi. For our main course, everyone chose the sirloin of beef, which was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. For dessert, we enjoyed a variety of options including chocolate brownie, Baileys crème brûlée, tiramisu, and panna cotta. The portion sizes were generous, and the drinks were reasonably priced. The restaurant was quite quiet, with only two other tables occupied, but it still had a pleasant atmosphere. The service was outstanding, with very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place!"

"They did not have any oysters left which was a big disappointment. We went with the halibut fish n’chips hoping for a new taste compared to the traditional codfish or haddock. The fish was delicious but we found the crust to be a bit too greasy. We had a similar dish recently at another restaurant that was so much more delicately done and more tasty. The service was a bit odd lacking in friendliness and we had a hard time understanding the waitress."

"We went there for our 16th wedding anniversary and sadly I came away with food poisoning never experienced anything like it before I was overwhelming sick as well as I can't say what was happening at the other end never felt so bad in all my life. We will never eat there again. Hi Kerryi have tried to email the following Thank you for your response on trip advisor. Sadly after our visit I have never felt so bad in all my life I vomited so much it and I had diarrhoea until the early hours of the morning I have never felt so bad as I did after eating at your restaurant. I know I never messaged prior but even my husband said he had never seen me so bad before and he said as well I had food poisoning. Regards Tina"

"Maybe my expectation for the vegan night the bread street brasserie had risen too high, but I was quite disappointed. for me it seemed very average. I would have been happy if I had found these vegan options on a normal menu, but wanted more of this as we had made a special trip just to try their vegan menu. there were some highlights to eat. our appetizers were both tasty and well presented, my darling bahji and my partner a grilled brot with Mediterranean vegetables. we also had a banan feather roll dessert with date karamell, which was delicious (I will steal the idea and make it myself). my partner had a noodle dish from which his comment on the sauce was that it tasted like a cheap glass sweet and sour. I had a sun-dried tomatenburger who was in order, but the lawn Slave with which it came was bad, tasting nothing but soyyoghurt. I also found it hard to choose three dishes that worked together as a meal, so I feel like the menu is not well thought out. the service was also something missing. the waiting staff was very friendly and helpful, but the headkeeper was really uninterested, bordering on the rude. we came 10 minutes earlier than our table was booked and were released into the bar to wait with the promise that we will be collected when our table was ready. 30 minutes later, he had not yet come to find us, we went to ask again and then sat. not a big thing, but added to the general sense that bread street brasserie vegane night was not the experience we hoped."

"I’m a big fan of this restaurant. Pea and fontina fritters were delicious, super crispy squid and a good marguerita pizza though I would have liked a little more topping and a bit less crust. Service was super attentive and charming. When we came in we were tempted by a refreshing goblet of aperol spritz we saw another customer drinking. It was so good I ordered a second which came in a tumbler. Not the same drink at all, the proportions were all wrong. Staff told me they only had 2 goblets and it was ‘ not company policy’ to serve them in the goblets! Really! What a shame as it ruined the drink. The lady on the next table sent her tumbler back, good on her. Please listen to your customers, invest in a few more decent glasses You will sell more if the drink is good and your customers will be happy ."

"Return visit again for another excellent dinner at the Clissold. Cannot fault it. We were greeted warmly greeted like old friends to celebrate my wifes birthday party of 12. We ordered the sharing meze which was tasty and clearly freshly prepared. The items like dips, calamari, haloumi, salads etc arrived first followed by delicious tender kebabs, cutlets and moussaka. Pudding was a homemade apple pie with caramelised icing sugar and vanilla ice cream which was a real treat. Wines including famous Greek red, white and Mastiha afterwards. Everything tasted really fresh. The restaurant is comfortable, we arrived at 6pm and left at 12, the staff charming, helpful and friendly and checking all the time if we have enough and would we like more of anything. I can happily say it is great venue and you will be looked after really well."

"Lovely experience overall, our waiter was friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations for food. We went straight after work (just before 6.30 on a Thursday) so it was a little busy but not overcrowded. A mixed crowd as there were families, couples, friends solo diners younger kids were a little loud but not a huge issue I’d say as everyone’s chatting! Great value for money overall as we had wine, starter and a big main which was all under £25 would recommend and would go again!"

"After being loyal customers for 7 years, we will never return to this restaurant. Despite requesting a reservation and a high chair for my baby, we arrived to find the chair given to someone else and an empty table prepared for another family. The manager insisted he had to know the mother of the other family in order to give them the chair. Who says that in the hospitality industry? All customers should be valued. Thankfully, there are many other good Italian restaurants in the area. We are extremely disappointed and do not feel appreciated as regular customers. Perhaps we were not as valued as we thought by this establishment."
