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.

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.

Not much of a side on these. Wife had braised short rib and that was a good size portion and she enjoyed it. Would like to try the 2nd floor if we go here again.

While visiting from California, we met friends here as halfway point, not knowing what we were walking into so completely bias and giving this place a full chance. It's beautiful inside and out; so why is it so dead? The service was more than subpar. The place was really empty inside, but it took about 10-15 minutes for all of us to get our cocktails and they all came out at different times, so none of us had them together. What's more, due to food allergies and sensitivities, I requested my salad with dressing on the side, with shrimp; because I'm allergic to chicken. My salad came out smothered in dressing, with no protein. The server returned to our table and apologized for the missing protein, taking the salads back to the kitchen and returning with mine topped with chicken... 2 of our meals were completely wrong. At the end of the meal, two salads and and a couple glasses of wine were $93... I have to give them 3 stars. It was just alright at the end of the day.

For the past 30 or so years, "the Spruce," or I guess what I should refer to as the essence of the…read moreSpruce, has retained its neighborhood charm and still provides a fun, casual night out during the week and more lively, raucous entertainment on the weekends. There are two floors, with the bottom being the main dining/bar area with the upstairs being a small bar to go along with a lounge area that can be setup to be a dance floor or band stage. Very versatile setup that can handle a variety of gatherings. There is a side room on the first floor that can be closed off, perfect for small work parties or private events. The qualify of food is quite good under the current ownership. I remember being there for brunch when the chef walked by, said hello, and asked how the everything was. Very friendly guy with an obvious passion for what he's doing. The staff in general looks like it gels together really well. The bartenders in particular, especially on moderately busy nights such as trivia night (Tuesdays), are kind and attentive. Despite being located in a dense residential neighborhood, parking isn't too tricky with a generously sized private lot directly across the street. Under new ownership (the team behind Reading's long-revered Ugly Oyster Drafthaus), it's nice to see the Spruce continue to flourish as it had for decades prior, as sort of a heartbeat of the community.

Our server was very attentive and made sure she checked in quite a bit. The food tasted pretty good, though the prices are astronomically high for what you get: Cajun pasta: My wife had this, it had four shrimp in it, and it was over $30. Burger: My son had this, and it was $22. Braised short rib pizza: This was good, though the crust could have cooked a little bit longer. For three people, the total bill was $130. I'm not sure that I would go here again due to the pricing.

Very admirable and apparently they do this often to support other causes, as well. We were happy to dine at a restaurant that cares about the local community. That's what got me (& my wife) in the door. Now, for the brass tacks: Atmosphere: Very nice looking place. Clean. Lively. Loved the front window open on a warm day and the outdoor seating as we walked in. Service: Hostess and Server were both very friendly, attentive and helpful. Both checked in on us, often. Which, for us, is super important not to feel forgotten. No problem here. Food: Uncorkd Burger (sub grilled chicken), Vegetable Risotto w/Salmon, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Homemade Vanilla Bread Pudding Cake & Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. My wife said, convincingly, that the Grilled Chicken Burger was good. (and that's saying something. (She's super picky about chicken sandwiches) My Vegetable Salmon Risotto was terrific. Fresh, bright, creamy, & flavorful. The salmon may have been cooked slightly over, but only slightly. Cheesesteak Egg Rolls were very good. Not made in-house. The desserts were delicious. Bread pudding with Caramel Drizzle! Oh my! Light & Delicious. Stick Toffee Pudding Cake with a decadent dark chocolate sauce. Delightful. We took those desserts to go and had them at home. Delicious. Terrific experience, tonight. I would go back in a heartbeat. Certainly would recommend. 4.2
