Bel and The Dragon - Reading

Great ambiance and service! All of our food was amazing with great selections of options. I am gluten free and there were plenty of options!

Food is expensive but very good qualityI've been there twice and had tuna wasabi and duck salad for starters, belly pork and partridge for main.

We were very disappointed with the inexperienced service, which was actually our own fault. Our food was very dry, but that was because of our choices. To make matters worse, someone pretended to be us and took our table, and we were informed about this. It's a shame because this restaurant had the potential to be so much better.

I recommend adding more vegetables and reducing the amount of potatoes. The risotto balls were slightly lacking in flavor. It would be convenient to have more space in the booths for coats and bags.

This restaurant has deteriorated significantly since the new owners took over. The serving staff is lazy and clumsy, resulting in slow service. Requesting more bread took 15 minutes, causing the cooked Brie to turn hard. The shared steak was lukewarm and the triple cooked potatoes were hard. Despite being a longtime patron, I will not be returning after my recent disappointing experiences.
