First visit here and it was fantastic, very welcoming and food was fabulous. It was my husbands birthday and they brought out a happy birthday slate with treats on, was a lovely touch. Will definitely be coming back again to try other things on the menu.

Fabulous service from the second you walk in the door. Food sublime. Atmosphere like a special place to be but not intimidating , just right and def a huge step up from the every day chain restaurants. Only down side is the wine is really a lot more expensive than else where and as you just don't want to leave this gorgeous restaurant but man that will bill will hurt at end. Still highly recommend.

Over the years I’ve visited many times and have usually enjoyed the experience. This time however, the dish that my sister and I ordered was not up to the standard I have come to expect. We had the belly pork with chorizo couscous. My husband did enjoy his fish and chips and my son enjoyed his belly pork which he had chosen from the A La Carte menu. Unfortunately we were the only diners which resulted in a somewhat stilted atmosphere

Very nice welcoming team and table service. I had the 'v' selection which was quinoa and almond patties. For dessert I had chocolate cake. Both were a bit dry really but my guest had fish and lemon tart which were both good. Nice wine selection. Great restaurant but I did struggle with the background level of noise a bit.

Booked online and could only get a table for 4 on a Tuesday evening at 5.45pm and we were told the table would need to be vacated in 2 hours. However, on arrival the restaurant was practically empty and was less than half full when we left. What's happening with the booking system!

Each time I visit Reading I eat at the London St Brasserie. The food is excellent, the staff are great and the situation is lovely, particularly on a summer's day. Even in winter, for me this is the best restaurant in Reading.

Always a joy to eat at LSB . Generous portions, fair prices, lovely staff and a great setting on the canal . I’m not a fan of artwork for sale , as artwork should be part of the decor so I’d love to see interesting art ( like your menu artwork ) rather than bland art for sale . But we still love LSB!

It was a very cold day and the front door kept getting left open by people coming and going, as I had my back to it, I got quite cold which spoiled the experience somewhat, as by the time I noticed it I was quite cold. Little things like this need to be addressed.

Had a great lunch here last Sunday - the roast beef and service were very good. Unfortunately our experience was marred by the table behind us FaceTiming friends in the US for over 15 mins on 2 separate occasions - which was both exceptionally noisy and inconsiderate to their fellow diners.

Not been there for a while. The noise at lunch time was very loud and it was difficult to have a conversation without raising my voice. Although the food was good it was no better than other, cheaper places. £10 for a glass of house white wine, which was OK but not a particularly nice one is a bit OTT. Reading needs the London Street Brasserie as it's one of very few non-chain places to eat, but it's not a place I will go to regularly.

Enjoyed the evening and food was excellent. Only gripe was because I was seated near the till, my chair was constantly bumped by the waitresses moving behind me to serve the table around the corner. Won't sit there again.

Probably the best place in Reading, excellent staff. It was a bit noisy but it was lunchtime. The e food was great but the main was a bit too big.

We visited for lunch with our teenage children. We had a lovely welcome from the delightful staff and really enjoyed the ambience and decor of this charming space. We ate downstairs in the window with a view of the canal. The atmosphere was lovely - buzzing but not too noisy. We chose from the set menu - great choice of varied and tasty dishes. The service was perfect and food delicious. We will definitely return!

Been years since had a chance to return to LSB. And not disappointed. Stunning atmosphere, the food generous portions and gorgeous. Staff all went out of there way to make us feel very special. I wish I had got the staff's names as they were superb. From the young lady at the front desk who took my balloons and order for special bottles of bubbles placed on the table and made me feel straight away like I was a valued customer, to the people who looked after us all night. Can't wait to get back.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. Our favourite restaurant in Reading and the welcome is like coming to our family. The food is scrumptious without being presumptuous Shortly we are to celebrate a major birthday with 40 guest. I need say no more

First time going it was great. Second time (sunday 16th) was.... awful... The waiter serving us had horrific body odour and was more interested in chatting up the desserts girl than getting my wife her sides (took him 5+ minutes to get, was leaning all over the desserts counter chatting to her for most of it ) Then when he was paying attention, he kept leaning over my wife, with his body odour ridden armpits going pretty much on her face. He was hungover and clearly didn't shower that morning. I came to LSB to get away from the smelly people! I think LSB should look into their staff, because there's a few there that don't look like they can be bothered. Disgusting.
