The Island's Lounge in Reading

We had a fantastic bottomless brunch.Very friendly, efficient service, Prosecco (by the bottle) flowing and great food (2 courses)We started lunch at 1.30 and when we had finished that, we stayed all afternoon and into the evening drinking 2for1cocktails!

We just had dinner here and I must say that was a very disappointing experience.To get our drinks we had to wait almost 15 min and was not busy at all at the time we placed the order .I did order a pint of Coke and first time they come with half pint at the table. I said that it supposed to be a pint and they offered to change it. I did not expected to receive a pint of ice with a splash of Coke, so when the waitress come back to our table (after 20 min) I did asked her to bring me a pint with Coke, no ice as the first one was just ice. She saw the ice in the glass, she apologize for that and said that will order another one for us.One of the managers (Joel) come back with the pint of Coke and said to me that next time I should ask without ice and to complaint at the beginning. I said to him that no one come back to the table for 20 min and I had the drink with my dinner, and also I said that I do normally have my drink with ice but is first time when I get only ice in the glass with a splash of Coke. His answer was: " that's the way we serve Coke here, next time be careful and ask without ice". So basically I need to pay almost £4 for a pint with ice, what is that?We have been 4 adults at the table and they come out first with 2 of our mains and after 10 min they bought the other two. If I want to have dinner by myself I stay home, I don't need to go out and look at others meal while I am waiting for mine. They said that was a problem with the printer...Anyway, after this "great experience" they bring us the bill including service charge...very funny. Obviously we did not paid that.

Tasty food, good beer, great hospitality, warm staff. Happy hours all day all night, you have 2 for 1 cocktails. Price for one is roughly £10-£12. Usually busy when you plan to come Friday or Saturday I would recommend do a reservation.

Drinks:The cocktails were good.Food:The food was really bad unless you like really spicy food. We asked the waiter if the food we ordered was spicy and he claimed that it was just a little bit. It turned out that it was too spicy (for us at least) and we could not eat. Such a waste of money.Dessert:The churros at the end were delicious!

Went for bottomless brunch,the manager at the door and server were very welcoming and polite. However one of the waitress was incredibly rude and invasive of personal space when asking about gluten free options. Made it a difficult experience which didn’t need to be. Would not recommend

The food was good but I found the attentiveness, politeness and help of the restaurant staff a particularly highlight for which I base my 5 star rating. Nice vibes also. Would definitely recommend

The food hear is amazing, if you like a bit of spice. 🤩👌 Their two for one cocktails are a nice touch, my fave being the "MOOSE MAI TAI" and the "PASSION FRUIT ZOMBIE,"

Have been a few times. It’s a safe place to go to for decent food. Cocktails are very good, food is above average.

Love this place. Great food and cocktails. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Visited here today for family lunch. Kids menu (although oddly online only) was superb value (a rarity!) and good portion size. Mock tails were 2 for 1, so they went down well and the fajita stacks were impressive. Well cooked food, thoughtfully presented. Only element that wasn’t perfect was the service which was reasonably slow, but this might be a covid issue for all I know so I still tipped. Recommended
