Best French Restaurants in Swallowfield

We had a great meal at LSB. The service was excellent- they brought us a heater because we were cold from being outside all day and even a cake to congratulate me for my graduation that day. The food was excellent, such a wide range of dishes but all amazing.

My brother and I took my Dad out for a birthday lunch. We had to reschedule to meet in Reading last minute and Cote had availability. We arrived at 1.30pm and got given a choice of tables, we chose a lovely round table by the window and had such a lovely lunch. The service was immaculate, really attentive without being too much, food was delicious and delivered in good time but not too quick, and the ambiance was excellence. The maitre d’ clearly took pride in running a slick service and really couldn’t have asked for more! Fantastic, thank you.

Attentive staff. Very slick operation . Food as always excellent. Will certainly be back.

Went to cilantro with my Chinese partner and her Chinese friend, food was very good and priced well. The restaurant was clean tidy and nicely decorated and it felt like a fine dining experience. However the reason I am spending the time writing this is not for any of the above. Its because the waitress on the night did more to make my partner feel welcome than any other person has in the 2 years she has lived in the uk. She even went so far as to converse with her in mandarin. It's no exaggeration to say we will remember the service we received probably for the rest of our lives and use it as a benchmark with which to measure service in the future. To round this off, I would like to say thank you to cilantro for a lovely evening, and a massive thank you to the waitress who served us, thank you very much.

A nice pub with good food. There seemed to be a lack of staff for the service so things were not top notch. The food could have been amazing but the main course was let down by slightly overcooked fish and the fish had no flavor at all which let me very disappointed. I must say the starter and dessert were fantastic and the accompaniments to the fish were really great but as the fish was meant to be the star it was a let down. They did give our two soft drinks for free but really if a restaurant is trying to be a gastro pub they need to tick all the boxes. I would go back just to see if it was an off day but I have heard similar things from other people
