A proper steakhouse night out that works better with children than you'd expect — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor tables that make a warm evening feel easy and unhurried. Steaks are the reason to come: the fillet and sirloin arrive cooked exactly as asked, the chateaubriand comes with smooth mash and tender broccoli, and there's a proper range of sauces, with chimichurri and peppercorn the ones people go back for. Start with the spinach empanadas, calamari or the chorizo in Malbec with caramelised onions. Staff are attentive and good on dietary questions, and there are vegan options. Two honest snags: it gets genuinely noisy when full, and service can drag towards the end of a meal — book ahead, and note the 12.5% service charge. Easy walk from Reading station.
