Tucked above my longtime favorite The Barley Mow sits the hidden gem Light in the Attic and during…read moreRestaurant Week, it absolutely delivered. Finding your way upstairs adds to the speakeasy-style charm. The reception area alone sets the vibe: playful, stylish, and full of photo-worthy moments before you even sit down. It feels like you've discovered something not everyone knows about. We went with the small plate prix fixe menu (three courses), and each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and -- most importantly -- delicious. Every course left us wanting just a little more, which is exactly how a tasting-style experience should feel. Nothing felt rushed, and the pacing of the food was on point. Cocktails were also excellent, creative, well-balanced, and fitting for the ambiance. The only hiccup of the night was drink service being a bit slow. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but noticeable. Overall, a great Restaurant Week experience in a space that feels both intimate and fun. I'll absolutely be back to explore the full menu soon.

The atmosphere was absolutely stunning and classy. Our server Ashley was top notch, extremely attentive and knowledgeable about all aspects of the restaurant and menu. The appetizer of the Focaccia Bread with different spreads and cheese was amazing. The meal itself was overly satisfying and was fit for the food network . We highly recommend " A Light in the Attic" and we wish this establishment a long and prosperous existence. Jeff and Sharon

I'm no stranger to cocktail bars, so this is right up my alley! They had awesome seasonal cocktails…read more(and a good selection of beers), in addition to selling the alcohols they made drinks with (locally made!). I love a local feeling bar, and this really hit the spot. Servers were amazing and very knowledgeable, in addition to the place feeling very cozy and intimate--it may be hard to get seating on a busy night, FYI! Three of us got cocktails (all very balanced and super delicious), and one of us got a local beer. Honestly, I wish I had this near me! The cocktails are what you'd expect to pay at a cocktail place ($11-15), but they were all worth it! If you're ever in West Reading on the Avenue, you should really check out the Bar Cart! It's a must visit.

The food is yours to grill yourself, including kabobs, cuts of steak, and plenty of butter/seasoning. The live music provided plenty of variety, and the servers were attentive. There were multiple bars serving signature cocktails as well as a healthy beer assortment. It really is a hidden gem in Berks County if you want an evening outside with close friends. A standard dinner includes choice of two meats (steak, chicken, scallops, alligator, etc), a baked potato, and a salad for under $30. You can cook and season it however you want on fairly spacious outdoor grilling stations. My only complaint, and there's not much that can be done as they abut the creek, is that the parking is limited. Customers were double and triple parking each other in the spaces.

Ambiance is lovely--great decor, comfortable seating, a gorgeous bar, and live music. Fun cocktails and a solid wine list (though the "by the glass" options are a bit limited). Ultimately, though, I think the ambiance and service are doing the heaviest lifting here--it's a bit of a "vibe dining" spot. The food is definitely good, don't get me wrong...but it's not "wow," which was a little disappointing given that you're gonna be spending $$$$. (Most entrees are $30+ and they're pretty standard fare that's not especially inventive--steaks, a few pastas, obligatory short rib dish, elevated burgers, salmon.) We liked everything just fine but I didn't taste a dish that made me go "oh man, I gotta come back for that." Instead I'm thinking "maybe I should try something else next time I'm in." I do like that your entree comes with a salad. The physical menu itself could also use some work, as its quality doesn't match the care and luxury atmosphere of the place overall. Numerous misspellings and a lack of specificity on ingredients in several of the dishes that leave the diner unclear on what, exactly, they're getting. For example, there's an entree that's described simply as "grilled chicken breast served with rosemary potato wedges and grilled zucchini." Are there spices or sauces on that chicken? Are we talking just plain salt/pep? Herbs? What? Anyway, it's fine. It's a solid date night option. We'll be back.

From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. We started with several appetizers, including the calamari, which was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of the meal. The service was top-notch. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and genuinely delightful throughout our visit. She checked on us regularly and somehow always seemed to appear with another beer before I even realized I needed one! It's rare to find service that feels so natural and attentive without being intrusive. Both of our entrées were delicious, and everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. What really stood out was the attention to detail. As we were leaving, our waitress stopped us to share information about the restaurant's weekly specials. She recognized it was our first visit and made sure we felt welcomed and informed. The combination of exceptional service, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere made for a phenomenal dining experience. While it's a little pricier than your average restaurant, the quality and service make it well worth the cost. Highly recommended--we'll definitely be back!
