First time here. Stumbled upon this place when looking for things to do when driving through Reading. Really enjoyed my experience here. Plus the admission was free so you can't beat that.

Great space for artists to show case their work and to set up a workspace. Five floors of different things to look at. You can meet and chat with artists if they happen to be in their space. All of whom I've met were wonderful and are clearly passionate about their medium.

Clean, well-maintained neighborhood park. It sits at the edge of a highway so you can still hear the constant traffic. Nice little reprieve. Stopped by here for an after reading session and a short nap.

Three stars for atmosphere = I like it. We sat outside since we didn't have a reservation. It was dimly lit, nice warm evening, so it was pleasant. The seating was just strange since we were seated right next to a group of loud chatters when there were plenty of seats available. Overall, no big issues.

Food was good. I liked the eclectic menu. Decent selection and you can get something from any region of the world. Had kachapuri, birria tacos, argentine asado, and spice bag fried chicken. The kachapuri was rich and beautifully presented. Our waiter stirred and mixed the egg and cheese tableside so it was a sensual viewing for our tastebuds.

The asado came out first and alone. Chorizo was well cooked, not greasy at all. Was very tasty.

The spice bag fried chicken was good. Lots of fried bits. Kind of cute presentation. I liked that!

Birria tacos were not my choice, and not my favorite. Brisket was tender and juicy but lacking spice.

Really tasty food and excellent service! Large seating areas, but when we came in we were seated at a high top against the wall next to another high top of 5 people so I felt really cramped. Our waitress was attentive and we got our drinks and food quickly so not much to complain about.

Mojitos are yummy, not syrupy like some of the places we've been to. The chicken croquettes were light (for fried items), and yet flavorful. Will definitely come back and try other cuban dishes.

Expansive beer menu. Food menu was comprised of your standard bar fare. Service was good. Ordered mussels and it like having an entire bay in my bowl....so much food and was tasty.

Nice atmosphere especially for Happy Hour get together.
