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 honestly, that’s a minor detail compared to how phenomenal everything else was.

The drinks were wonderful. Service was excellent. Tony was our server, the food was delicious and they even had a little card to wish my boyfriend a happy birthday. We will be back.

Absolutely fabulous dining experience! Always delicious and extremely creative, you won’t find anything else like it in Berks County. Service was amazing; s/o to Courtney! She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, gave amazing suggestions and ensured we had a great experience. Ask for Courtney!

Jenn was an amazing server and explained everything to us and gave great recommendations! The Lobster toast and the Hangar steak were absolutely delicious and very filling. Worth the money. Would definitely return!
In my humble opinion, one of the best restaurants in the Reading area!

A truly superb dining location with excellent service and a very 'speakeasy-ish' atmosphere. We had the grouper (fantastic) and the duck breast (a little chewy, but very flavorful), with a cheese plate to start (nice) and macarons (decadent) to finish. The cocktails we enjoyed were equally excellent, albeit a little on the weak side. We will definitely be returning to this place, it's exceptional!!

True mixologists on staff and one of the most progressive fine dining restaurants in the greater Reading PA area. This is where you take your date to dinner. They are GOAT of fine dining in West Reading.

Delicious! This was a wonderful date night location. The lightbulb sign at the front of the breezeway between the buildings, made it feel like you were entering a true speakeasy. At the top of the steps to the 2nd floor, you open the door into what appears to be a library with an old phone booth. But then, the hostess leads you behind the curtains into the dining room/ bar. Finally felt like we had received our money's worth. Filled us up the rest of the evening. The bombilini appetizer was layered with flavor. The lobster toast and skirt steak were excellent.

Everything was 👌. Our first visit was memorable. Get the bomboloni, you won’t regret it! Jen’s service was fantastic! Love the speakeasy vibe. It’s now going to be our new spot

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the most incredible dinner on Saturday night! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and absolutely perfect for a night out. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. The drinks were innovative and delicious. But what really made the experience exceptional was our server, Jen, who was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly taken care of. It’s not often you find a place that nails the food, the vibe, and the service, but this restaurant gets it all right. This is a true gem in West Reading. We’ll definitely be back!

What a beautiful place! My partner and I had the steak tartar as an app. Excellent! My entree choice was Lobster Toast. It was AMAZING. My partner's Seared Spiced Duck was delicious. Drinks were awesome. I would like if the owner manager could respond here with a contact email.

Staff was extremely friendly and kind, but not attentive and the cheesecake was not good especially for the price. The top room is extremely hot and not comfortable.
