A Light in the Attic Reviews
Lovely atmosphere. Lamb was great. Drinks, STRONG! But great overall.
Easily the top 5 best restaurants we’ve ever eaten at! From the welcome greeting of the pastry chef hostess to our amazing waitress Jen and all of her great recommendations, it was a true gem in West Reading. Highly recommended!
The food was outstanding every single morsel and the cocktails were absolutely creative and delicious! All down to the dessert! And then the atmosphere and speakeasy setting! Wow! Amazing!
I love different foods, but on the main menu there was not 1 thing that appealed to me. So on the food ratings I would give it a 1 star. My favorite restaurant is Eddie V, I do visit many 4 star restaurants.
