A Light in the Attic

A beautiful hidden gem tucked away in West Reading! We came here to celebrate our 3rd anniversary, and everything from start to finish was simply wonderful. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a cozy, library-inspired setting, books, warmth, and charm everywhere! Waiting for us at our table was a sweet little card that said “Happy Anniversary”, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, and the service couldn’t have been better. Now… the food. Oh. My. God. Absolutely divine! The kind of meal that makes you go quiet just so you can savor every bite. The drinks were just as amazing, and they even surprised us with complimentary champagne to toast our anniversary (so delicious!). The only small downside is that the tables are a bit close together, but

Yhe most important things I find when going to a fine dining establishment is, was the meal proper value, and was the service up to snuff. Ambience is an enhancement factor but it cant fix issues with the food or the service. On the positive side the atmosphere and service were fairly good, wait times left a bit to be desired but I understand sometimes things just dont line up. The food starting from the beginning was less than I would care to expect, a 21 dollar bread basket with assorted slices of happenstance bread, a Patè that had a metallic quality that was overpowering, and a butter candle that was more show than function. From price point to quality this was just bad, I should not look at panera bread as a superior option when im dining out for a special occasion, and unfortunatel

Phenomenal all around! The space itself was amazing, clearly every single detail was intentional and cultivated with love. The decor, lighting, colors all flowed so well together to create such a unique atmosphere. We had Jen as our server and she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and absolutely on top of things. She gave us fantastic recommendations and answered all of our questions with ease. Our table had the breadbasket, 2 ribeyes, and the lobster toast. Words can’t do the food justice, just know that everything was beyond delicious. All of our cocktails were so interesting and yummy, highly recommend the port. Dessert was great and I feel like our bill was very appropriately priced for our experience. Will 100% be back in the future and telling everyone about this establishment.

Wow, wow, wow. Amazing from beginning to end. Staff is fantastic, food is unreal. Worth every penny. The area needed a place like this. Quality food, great atmosphere and high quality worth paying for. My wife and I will definitely be back! Update 10/26/24: Unfortunately the Google starts only go to 5, otherwise I'd add 5 more to this review. I had a chance to revisit this evening and had another amazing dinner. My wife had the wild boar and I had the hen. Both were perfect. The drinks were amazing, as always. The waiter was one of the best I've had in a long time. I've never gone on a review and updated my experience for a second visit but this place is worth my time. I look forward to another great meal in the very near future.

If you look closely, you will see the small sign beckoning you behind the Barley Mow and up the stair to The Light In The Attic. As you enter the small room it feels like you stepped into a hidden library. We were lucky enough to be seated in the loft with a view of the downstairs. Or server was very friendly and offered many great suggestions. Try the carrots! IYKYK Cocktails were unique and delicious. Food was just as exciting on the pallet. Portions were perfectly sized. All in all, an excellent dining option. Prices are high, but for a special occasion, worth it.
