Reviews of Miller & Carter Oracle
S. S. (.
Came here for a lunch with friends, the food was exceptional. I can't fault anything. The sticky chipotle chicken bites were in a sauce so yummy I had to very unceremoniously mop up afterwards!
The surf and turf seemed small initially but after eating it realised it was the perfect portion!
The sundae was huge and delicious!!
The service was prompt, very quick and our server Laura was very welcoming, positive and friendly! I'm not a local to Reading but would definitely come back here often if I lived here! Worth a trip :)
B. M.
Clean, welcoming, very pleasant staff & thank you to Poppy, who was very patient & had great attitude. A wonderful experience & food and service was superb. A special meal as my brother gave us a voucher at Christmas. so a great choice to come here. Thank you to everyone!
J. S.
Whist in Reading for a day out we were looking for somewhere to eat and once I saw that they had crumble on the menu , i was sold.
On entering we were greeted warmly by a manager and show to a table.
Diego introduced himself to us as our waiter for the evening, and found us a nice bottle of fizz ( wedding aniversary) and a very ice bottle of Pinot Noir.
Through out the evening we waited on brillently with a little surprise for our wedding aniversary, food was excellent ,steaks cooked to perfection, and crumble was delicious.
Big thanks to all on the night from Diego who was exceptional to the chefs who prepared the food and the KP who is always forgotten but a key part of any good resturant.
Big thank you and we will be back.
P. O.
Amazing food last night!! 😋 lovely atmosphere and a great selection of wine!! Our waiter Diego was super lovely and couldn't have done enough for us!! Will be back soon.
S. D.
Wow. We ate here for Valentine’s Day, we ordered off of the Valentine’s Day menu. There was a huge variety, even thought it was a set menu. The food was great but omg the steak was incredible. I had the wheat fed streak and it was truly amazing, the favours and textures were outstanding and it was cooked to perfection. The whole experience was fab, we didn’t wait long for food even thought it was valentines day and the service was very attentive. Will definitely be coming back.
L. M.
Wonderful meal from start to finish! This is a very clean and welcoming restaurant. There was a nice festive feeling in there this evening. Our starters were served quickly and were super fresh and tasty. The main course arrived not long after and again, every bit was cooked to perfection. All the staff were friendly and eager to help. I also saw the manager handle a very aggressive customer in such a calm, professional manner-very impressive and good to see a manager take ownership of the situation like that.
Overall, highly recommend. Yes in the more expensive but the quality of everything is well worth it.
P. J.
I went to Miller and Carter for a celebration meal with my new wife. The food was fantastic and our waitress Laura made the night very special for us. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
G. K.
Celebrated my dearest sister Birthday. The food was very delicious, well cooked steak and Ribs. Wooooooow hands down to Miller and Carter Oracle (Reading). People say food to die for but I say food to live for.
J. M.
Steak was good and the bone marrow was exceptional! Loved it!!! I forgot the name of what we ordered 😬 but it was really tasty! The staff was also helpful and accommodating.
S. N.
My husband and I had a lovely dinner this evening! Couldn't fault any of it, steaks came out perfect and tender
F. d. l. R.
This miller and carters in particular was extremely packed. The steak was aged and cooked very nicely, and the lettuce slice was super refreshing. The cocktails lacked taste and were quite watery due to the ice. The apple crumble dessert was a very big let down. The crumble on top was burnt by intention to give the smokey tastes, but it just tasted very bad. The larger cut steak was also requested to be medium rare but arrived more on the rare side. It lacked a bit of seasoning but was balanced by the peppercorn dip. The fries were lovely. Overall it was an okay experience.
S. D.
Mihai was our server and was so polite and helpful. For our first visit to Miller and Carter, he most definitely made it a great experience.
Will definitely be returning here and the food was amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ recomend the lobster tail with your steak.
S. T.
Kris our waiter was amazing, very attentive and helpful. The food was great. Our steak sauces were the wrong way round when the food arrived and my wife poured hers over her fillet without checking. We asked one of the other staff to help and Kris immediately appeared and whisked the steak away to be re served almost immediately. With a replacement sauce. Could nto fault the place. Perfect.
K. T.
Kris was amazing! Had sticky chicken starter which was to die for! Followed by fillet steak (medium rare) with peppercorn sauce. An issue with my sauce was dealt with quickly and easily and enjoyed every bite. The onion loaf is worth trying if you never have had it before. Will definitely go again.
S. K.
Went to the reading branch last night with 2 friends amazing food as always and fantastic smiley service from our waitress Tara
Thank you to all the staff
J. M.
Had an amazing meal, couldn't fault a single thing. Service impeccable and despite a busy restaurant was nice and quick. Kris was fantastic, thank you for looking after us so well! Everywhere was very clean too. A great place for a special occasion, or a just because ☺️
J. D. M.
Very descent food for a good price! I really recommend the cote de boeuf for 2 👌
T.
Visited Miller & Carter for our anniversary, fantastic food, service and experience. Adrian was a great host and made sure everything was perfect for us - will be visiting again!
P. J.
Amazing food and Laura waitress went above and beyond to make our celebration so special - thank you
D. P.
Not too bad for a work Christmas party. We eat from the Christmas menu, not a large selection but good all round variety. The starter was excellent, however, my steak was cold. Very nice flavour, cooked perfectly (I like mine very rare), just stone cold but the fries were hot and the service was okay. Dessert, very bland.
Overall, not a bad night out, service average, food edible, company great.
T. P.
Food and staff were great! Cocktails was very good too! Express-snow martini 😀
B. O.
Another great experience at Miller & Carter.
Tried the black Angus rump steak today, cooked to perfection.
Absolutely lovely meal.
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Overall, another great experience.
C. P.
Food was great as exquisite, had a really good dinner, Nicol was really nice to us full of energy, would definitely recommend
S. J.
Amazing service for my Birthday! Was looked after very well by Franko and the food was amazing!
J. G.
Amazing customer service form Angie ! Very kind and recommended great dishes. Rib eye was fantastic and almost enough for two ! Definitely will come again

We visited on 3rd December 2021 and the ambiance was perfect. We were served by Adrian who was excellent. He listened to our questions about the menus and answered with clarity. He was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I dropped a star rating as the christmas turkey dinner was tasty but the sprouts were like bullets. We did tell Adrian and he offered to get us another serving.
L. R.
Really good food. Great portion sizes and price point. Laura our waitress was excellent! Thank you for making us smile Laura.
A. S.
Lara took care of us so well, really attentive, friendly and a real credit to your establishment. We didn't have to wait for drinks or even food....even though it was really busy (5pm Saturday 29th January)
We ordered the bistro steaks, loved that you got to choose a sauce for steak and for the iceberg lettuce wedge too....it was delicious, thanks so much.
T. K.
The food and service was amazing, when we made our waitress Laura aware that there was a peanut allergy on our table she went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe to eat, she was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout, despite the fact that the allergy does make it more work for the resteraunt. The food was amazing and really reasonably priced, we will deffinatly be visiting again.
A. T.
Celebrated my Anniversary here with my gf and the experience I had here was great. Our servant Nikol did a good job of serving us and the steak came out wonderful as well. 10/10 would recommend.
V. B.
Very nice place with good atmosphere. We are going quiet often with my friends because they like the M&C steaks.
I'm not eating beef so I'm always going for different options, the grilled salmon is super nice. (Just in case you want to go with friends and you don't eat meat there are couple of good options.)
C. N.
Jonida was a lovely smiley Ray of sunshine. We came out to celebrate our anniversary, had wonderful fun and got spoilt woth a beautiful dessert
K. B.
I went to Miller and Carter for birthday celebration dinner with three guests. The food was fantastic, the steak cooked to perfection and really delicious. Was well looked after by Laura, who was very friendly and professional.
Very good value for money. Hope to visit again soon.
R. M.
It was my Birthday weekend, my boyfriend made the booking for our dinner. We was greeted politely and our server for the evening was Mario. He was so friendly and very helpful, he had good knowledge about the wine and helped our selection. He made us feel very welcome and adhered to our needs throughout our dinner.
Now onto the food, the food was perfect, good portion size we were absolutely stuffed! My boyfriend had the T-Bone served medium rare, immediately Mario offered his guidance that the steak would be more towards the rare side as it’s on the bone, my boyfriend was ok with that. I had the fillet served medium rare also, melt in the mouth tender. We didn’t wait for the food for long at all, it was honestly such a special evening for my boyfriend and myself. Mario thank you for making my birthday memorable. We will be back for sure. 18/9/20.
I. B.
Very serene ambiance, best steak ever! And oh, the customer service is indubitably awesome. My husband and I can’t get enough of Miller & Carter. 🙂
G. U.
Wonderful service from server Adrian. ,we thankful for the grill chef as well and no the last one for the guy who makes this restaurant so worming welcome "Theo",and very shame my best friend,"Robert" wasn't there 😉
S. H.
Me and my partner had a lovely Christmas meal at Miller and Carter at the oracle. New staff member Kris was fantastic and very attentive. The service and food was great. Will be coming back again. Merry Christmas everyone☺️
K. M.
First time at a Miller and Carter and we were quite impressed! Our waiter Maher was fantastic, really helpful and attentative, eventhough it was busy!
Our food was really tasty, we were celebrating Valentines day late this year due to our work schedule so we went for the Valentines set menu.
Camembert was delicious to start followed by ribeyes which were perfectly cooled and rested.
Dessert was tasty too.
Thank you again to Maher who looked after us all evening, superb waiter and we will be back to see you again soon.

Exceptional service. The waitress called Laura was so lovely and super friendly. Food tasted so good.
M. B.
First time going here. Restaurant and staff all really well presented and warm welcome and quick service for a busy Saturday night, can't fault customer service. Went for the butcher's block which on the whole was very good,the fillet being the highlight. Only thing that lets it down for the price was that the ribs were very forgettable , very little BBQ taste to them. Also would be nice to have more sauce felt the portion was quite small so really had to ration it. Maybe either fill it more or after free refills if you want more. Also would prefer a salad to a big wedge of lettuce. If you love your steak though and know which type you like, really couldn't fault the quality was delicious. Would just avoid the ribs can get much much better elsewhere.
C. N.
This was the first time that my wife and I have visited this restaurant - or any restaurant from the Miller & Carter chain, for that matter. We were very pleasantly surprise. Our first impression was that prices for the steaks are a bit on the high side, but when you realize how much is included the prices seem more reasonable. The quality of the food certainly justifies the prices - we are inclined to think that this is the best steak house in Reading! The ambiance is very pleasant, and the service friendly and professional. A special 'shout out' for Diego - thanks for looking after us so well! We certainly look forward to our next visit.
S. &. I. s. L.
First time of visiting one of these restaurants and I have to say it was fantastic !!! Stayed over for our daughters graduation and took friends who hadn’t been before either. Good selection, waiter was fantastic and kept us informed all the way with times to cook etc.. knew the menu inside out. The steaks were all cooked perfectly. Great steak knives as well. Great time had by all - will definitely be going back at some point for sure - well done guys !!!!
S. B.
Had a lovely meal from the set lunch menu, both food and drink were delicious and reasonably priced. The table service we received from Mario was exemplary - he took great trouble to help me work out what was safe for me to eat as I have multiple food allergies - such amazing service and value for money. Highly recommended all round.
N. T.
Excellent steak 🥩 love the professionalism of the staff, food was fantastic, drinks was good, the drama that happened for someone else who didn’t pay was even better. It felt like live Netflix so 5 star!
K. B.
Great lunch today, served by Adrian who was extremely polite and helpful! Steak is always so good too
J. C.
Great food and service by our waitress Jonida last night. She was extremely friendly and attentive. True credit to the team.
J. O.
I had the best meal and the best experience today. Laura was incredible, the absolute best waitress at one the best restaurants. Highly recommend.
M. S.
Food was excellent and great value for money. Service from Donald was great. Birthday cake was a lovely touch.
R. P.
We went with our 2 year old daughter in the first week of August 2021. As usual we had a great experience. This is our favourite restaurant. Service was excellent, Adrian was very good with looking after us and great with our daughter also. Food never disappoints! Steak is always how we ask for it. Will be back very soon.
G. R.
I don't usually have steak in a restaurant as they're always disappointingly flavoured or badly cooked. These 50-day old steaks were amongst the best I've ever had, and our server, Adrian, was the perfect balance of attention and distance. Definitely recommend!
A. D.
Very nice and cozy place for a stake. The main course are excellent and the service is also great. Easy to find and plenty of space inside. The bar is also great with a calming atmosphere. Giving 4 stars because the shared starter was quite disappointing compared to the main course and dessert.
J. C.
Birthday day wanted to eat something special, partner know I am a steak guy, and were did she take me to the Miller & Carter at the oracle river side Reading. Let me start from entering the restaurant such a nice setup, there are staff to welcome you, you need to sanitise your hand and you be taken to your table. We had Such a wonderful person to look after her name is Chole (I am not a fan calling staff waiter or waitress ) Chole made sure we had a fabulous time and helped us with what we need so kudos to Chole. Now to food no other words than just fabulous, from starter to the wonderful steak to even a windy dessert (see pictures below). I would recommend anyone to go and try Miller and Carter staff is brilliant, helpful, cheerful. Defo coming back to try out different varieties. Thank you once again. If Miller & Carter team reading this please make sure Chole is rewarded. Final verdict Recommended
K. T.
Thank you Jonida for your excellent service during a very enjoyable meal in Reading on Friday night. The burgers were perfectly cooked and delivered quickly. Sadly the cheesecake was a disappointment - lacking in flavour and consistency - not worth the calories. Overall though a very pleasant experience. The
J. N.
When we got here the staff were really nice and helpful, got us to our table when we got here (booked a table online, relatively busy) if not a 30 minute wait. The starters were really good as shown in the pictures (The nachos) after we were finished the staff got the steak (which is cooked whilst you have the starter), witch was really good (the steak shown is med-rare was chewy and juicy, it came with chips. I would say this is a good restaurant
A. M.
Food was great although the waiter was overly pushy. There were four of us and we ordered one bottle to share. The waiter proceeded to fill our glasses to the top so the bottle would end up almost empty, after this he repeatedly came over asking if we would like another bottle. No need for this kind of behaviour when you are ordering 30£ steaks.
E. S.
Best retaurant experience I've had for a very long time!
Showed up without a booking on a busy Saturday night. There was no 'Umm'ing and 'Ahh'ing, no "we could probably squeeze you in". Just a pleasant "we've got a table outside if you'd like"
The service was fast, but we still had plenty of time to browse an extensive menu with plenty of variety and no fuss. None of this "order your fries separately" nonsense! all Steaks > fries > salad > done!
A friend and I smashed out the butchers block - 4 delicious and perfectly cooked steaks with some truly excellent sides... That brisket stuffed bone marrow... MY GOD... with steaks that perfect, you know the sides have to be amazing to stand out and, good lord, that brisket stood out!
We took our time with our food and enjoyed a lovely dessert as well, enjoying watching the bustle of Reading's riverside slip by. We were there for 2 and a half hours all told and we always felt welcome!
I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough. An absolute must for anyone who enjoys good food and good service.
Your staff are an absolute credit to your establishment, attentive, jovial and banterous despite being in the height of what I'm sure was a very busy service.
I will be back many times I am sure!
N. S.
Great meal from the festive menu. Had the BBQ glazed wings for starters and carved turkey for the mains. The potatoes were absolutely amazing and the turkey was moist and full of flavour. The sprouts and stuffing were really good too. Personally I found the ginger & pear dessert too sweet but I enjoyed everything else. Customer service was excellent too and the lady who served us was really cheerful which is always great to see. Overall a great visit.

Visited Miller & Carter (Reading) on the 16th October, we were greeted with smiles and politeness from the staff at the front desk, they asked me my surname which we had a bit of a giggle about. Our table wasn’t ready so we were showed to the bar to have a drink whilst we wait, we didn’t have to wait long and we’re showed to the table.
The staff were fantastic and the steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, the waitress made sure we had everything that we needed for a nice evening. Now my only downside was we felt we were rushed to eat and leave, I had finished the food on my plate and was still chewing the last bit of steak when the waitress came along took the plates and asked if we wanted dessert. I asked the waitress if she could come back as I’ve not even finished my mouthful of food, she said yeah sure then literally about 2mins later she came back and said would you like dessert? Now we were going to have dessert but as I felt we were being rushed we decided to leave it, drink our drinks and move on.
The meal itself was delicious 😋 so wasn’t a complete disaster!!
E. O.
An excellent menu, food cooked beautifully and served with a friendly and prompt service. Catered for two small children aswell which was a pleasant surprise.
R. W.
Was absolutely lovely the service was brilliant happy and very welcoming
Would definitely recommend and return
M. H.
A superb restaurant with high quality steak meals and great wines. The staffs are polite, efficient and knowledgeable and service excellent. If you are looking for a quality steak meal and this is it.
The place is clean and ambience first class!!
P. W.
Very busy which is always a good sign. Make sure you book a table in advance. We needed to move our booking by 30 and they were very accommodating. Steaks are cooked as you like them. House wine was better than expected.
A. &. E.
Really enjoyed our meal today excellent service. Amazing steak as usual. Highly recommended
M. Z.
Amazing food, the best steak I've ever had!
A. S.
Food was amazing,Marco is one of the best Table attendants I’ve ever come across,nothing is any trouble always smiling and genuine Gentlemen.
Great Restaurant 😊
J. A.
Went in for a birthday celebration. Service was great, and was fantastic to see the place busy but able to still fulfill all of the COVID safety measures! Our waitress, Chloe, was incredibly helpful and a pleasure to chat with, providing recommendations that were 100% spot on. Pictures show the Halloumi fries (most likely the best I've ever had), and the Chateaubriand 16oz steak (beef dripping sauce and the porcini mushroom & black garlic sauce) was cooked perfectly to medium rare.
Shall definitely be coming back, and has earned this 5 star review with ease. Special thanks to Chloe for making the evening enjoyable and stress-free for my girlfriend.
S. B.
Arrived without booking a table at 20.00hrs, desk manager sorted this out and we had a table within 10 mins. Young Romanian guy who served table was excellent, thought my Scottish accent was German!! Meal worth every penny, or Euro if German😁Well done to management and staff on the floor.
D. W.
Always had exceptional service and food, which is why me & my wife visit several times a year. Have pretty much gone through the menu, personal favourites are tbone & chateaubriand (although pretty sure could eat to myself haha). Not the cheapest but great for special occasions or when you want quality cooked steak and sides.
C. P.
Great service, you know what you're getting. I've paid far more for lesser elsewhere. Very reasonably priced, always a nice atmosphere.
C. H.
Wow, this place is perfection! The atmosphere is incredible. Loads of staff. Quick service and food for the time of year. Food is exquisite, Delicious, delightful and definitely worth every penny. Very highly recommended. You won't regret it 👌
A.
Great food! But I'd like to shout out our waiter James. Great guy. Attentive but not over the top. Friendly and funny. It's people like this that make me come back. Oh and the food ofcourse.
F. A.
Best chocolate brownie. Excellent service. Try the chipotle chicken started. Very tasty and very large portion. Be warned, the quantity is alot. I struggled to do a 3 course. Very good interior decor as well. Going back very soon
A. W.
Great staff, fantastic steak at a great price, would recommend the Sirloin on the bone with the beef dripping sauce.
K. H.
Fantastic food and my server Mario was amazing, I have a dairy allergy and he was so thorough with my meal choices to ensure I didn't have a reaction, which is actually quite rare. I can't express enough appreciation for his attitude
l. g.
Been here on a few occasions and the steak never fails me! We had a family meal and ordered the chateaubriand, my god it was bloody lovely! Lovely place lovely service and definatley lovely food. will always return
I. P.
Service was good and the server was attentive, however the sirloin steak I had (cooked how I like it medium rare) was tough and chewy with lots of fat so very disappointed, the dessert of creme brûlée was mediocre and tasted like a paste, I’ve had better steaks down my local pub, so won’t be rushing back. 5/10
E. O.
straight 10/10. The food was lovely, the service by jade was incredible and is an assert to your restaurant. What a lovely evening we will be back soon
S.
I work for the same company (Mitchells and Butlers) but for a different brand (Harvester: Mansion House). Firstly I would like to thank Marco for his amazing service. I've been served by him a few times whilst dining at Miller and Carter. Marco is a true asset, he's very funny, charming and attentive. I always enjoy having him as my waitor. Secondly I would like to thank Laura as she also is a true asset. I've only been served by her the one time but she was ever so lovely and kind. She has a great smile and goes the extra mile to keep her guests happy.
N. P.
Service from Marco was excellent. Food was beautiful. Thanks for looking after us so well!
E. C.
The best restaurant in Reading. Have been visiting this place many times and have been always offered excellent service. Have been served few times by Donald, who is always friendly and professional.
A. E.
Great food and selection, service was good. The salad wedge you get included with steak was a let down. Service was good and fast.
I. B.
Delicious steaks. I had a medium rare 50 days aged black angus sirloin and that was a delicious meat. First of all, praises to those who perfectly cooked the medium rare, was exactly as it should be. In addition, such simple things as the fries and the meat sides were delicious too and very nicely served. Only thing I would improve is the lettuce in an uncomfortable plate to cut it into and eat it. I would go with normal green salad with a nice dressing or at least cut the lettuce in smaller parts that could make it easier to be eaten. Though who cares about a salad, when the meat is that nice :)
B. M.
My first time at this restaurant and I was very pleased ! They have a drink bar inside which is a bonus . The food is tasty and their quantity are big enough that if you have a starter you will struggle with the main . This place does get busy so best thing to do is book a table . They also have fish , vegetarian and mocktails choices . The ambience is good you get this high quality pub feel .Definitely recommend this place .
I. W.
Great meal out with friends we have not seen for yrs due to Covid. Adrian was serving us and great with us and even checked with the kitchen on meal options and additives. Thoroughly recommend
G. K.
Fantastic steak, medium wine, prices are according to the stake quality.
Have to give 5 stars after the second visit. Wine was first class, steaks are even better (how can it be when the first one was already perfect?). We stayed beyond the closing time and staff was very kind.
C. B.
Had a great time for my girlfriends 21st bday, Marco was amazing, very courteous a pleasure to be served by him, also great with allergen problems, couldn’t recommend more!!!
K. H.
Food was very nice, waitress pleasant. But I think the tables were too close together, there is still a virus going around.......
c. w.
Miller and carter is an outstanding steak house for special occasions. The staff at Miller and carters are very friendly! I’ll definitely be going back.
K. B.
Great service and top quality food. Very enjoyable. The steak was perfect, too good that I didn't get a photo of that but the prawns were lovely!
H. S.
A favourite date night of my husband and I. The steak is consistently excellent. The cost is high, but justified for a special meal.
M. L.
The food is delicious, never disappointing. Our waitress Angie was lovely and service was amazing. Always enjoy our visits here.
N. M.
Had a great meal here, everything was perfect. Laura was very friendly and catered to all of our needs with ease and a smile!
G. V.
Had a lovely time, food was excellent and service was spectacular, was served by Mario - he was extremely accommodating, well worthy of a tip
T. N.
In all honesty found the experience underwhelming. Had heard of the franchise and was looking forward to the experience. Firstly I was left with a bad taste in my mouth due to the rudeness of the staff on the phone when I need to change my booking; giving plenty of notice also mind you. I ordered the pesto crusted sea bass; the food took an eternity to arrive. When it did arrive the peas in the accompaniment were raw. All in all I wouldn’t race back.
P. O.
The food here is always great and if you’re lucky you’ll get Tara to serve you because she was fantastic and attentive.
I. O.
We had a lovely dinner at your place ....food amazing and our waitress Laura was a really lovley host ....we will be back🥰🥰🥰
P. N.
The food was great, truly value for money. Rozalia the waiter treated us, she was knowledgeable and friendly. We absolutely loved it. They have gluten free menu and we requested a bday surprise that we were very pleased with. Totally recommend it.
J. G.
Great service from the waiter marco and food was well cooked. It also didn’t take long to arrive to the table
D. S.
Food was great drinks fantastic and service absolutely excellent.
Would recommend to anyone.

Delicious food, excellent service, never felt rushed. Our waiter James was amazing.
C. C.
Fantastic steak and good wine to go with, really nice place to have a good feed. A little pricey but that's what good steak costs.
Lobster on the surf and turf wasn't the best though. Recommend the bannoffe pie for desert it's leng
T. A.
Food was lovely and the ambiance was great. Mihai was so friendly and made our experience even better. Would recommend!
J.
Friendly staff and the food is amazing, if you want great steak this is where you go.
s. P.
I visited for my birthday with my husband and friends, we all enjoyed our meals and we were served by Peter who was lovely and he bought me out a little birthday surprise which was really nice, thankyou!
H. S.
+ 50 days aged ribeye: prepared as requested, bombastic beefy taste, great sauce, perfect crispy french fries, reasonable price, fast and friendly service.
- Shrimp salad was bland. (what was I thinking eating a salad in a steak house anyway :D )
O. M.
We had a really good lunch outdoors. The servers were super helpful and let us change our table as it was a bit windy where we sat originally. Diego our server was very nice and made us laugh during the lunch. I would go back anytime and try the rest of the food as we liked everything we ordered.
J. B.
Anniversary meal and everything first class. Waiter Diego polite and friendly. Good service will definitely use again
J. H.
Lovely evening and wonderful food. Had Chateaubriand between two of us. Simply cooked to perfection and delicious with all the sides. Wonderful service also care of Romania. Thank you :) Will be back soon.

Pluses: great venue for a meal; relaxed and comfortable, nice atmosphere, easy and hassle free to get to (just by the car park lifts). Service was great: one of our group was both lactose and. gluten intolerant, and I'm not a meat eater, but the waitress and kitchen went through every possible step they could have.
Minuses: the food was ok but not great. I had fish and chips, not exactly memorable and the fish was slightly overdone. The others in our group had a mixed experience: burgers were good but steak was meh. Best thing on the menu turned out to be the mac and cheese and halloumi fries, both were quite tasty.
Would go again as its pleasant enough, and the staff are great, but for that rather than the quality of the food.
On a further note, we sat inside because we noticed people outside waving their hands for service: we were served promptly inside but I guess if uou decide to eat outside allow for longer service times.

Food was bangin, was surprised how good it was tbh. Jonida was a great waitress, has a bright future ahead of her so big up.
A. S.
We had an Absolutely lovely evening, great food, excellent service and our waiter Franko was super!

Amazing meal for my partners 30th birthday. Our waiter Mario was incredible and even let my 2 year old daughter ring the big bell! Lovely food and lovely service, couldn’t fault it!
E. L.
Donald was our waiter and we really enjoyed the nice service and the amazing food. Definitely recommend!
R. W.
First time coming here and can't fault it, amazing service and all the staff are happy and friendly.
Our waiter Adrian went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and everything was OK.
Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Takeaway nightmare through Deliveroo :
1. half cooked steak
2. no steak sauce provided
3. Onion loaf provided was half its usual size and broken in pieces
4. No parsley butter too
I can’t even raise a concern through Deliveroo , as it’s not an item missing but it isn’t a full dish either . Tried calling the restaurant twice, but it went straight to voicemail each time.
Other items were just fine and nothing extraordinary. Waste of money and a disappointing Saturday dinner with the family.
*Editing review based on callback the following day* :
Got a call from the restaurant management , and they were quite receptive to the feedback and also helped me understand how things are not under their control at all times and the fact that the delivery could have been impacted by multiple logistical factors too. I will bump up the review by 3 stars to reflect the accountability shown by the restaurant and the partial refund that was processed , however as the steak sauce is an integral part of the dish I will still be holding 1 star back & I look forward to a 5 star experience in future.
D. S.
Very happy every time I go there
Such an excellent place and amazing food 👍
i. j.
Awesome food . Very tasty and full of flavour . Great service . Booked in advance so no wait . Definitely pay a visit.
B. B.
Good food for normal price. But the service is far beyond - there are serving Mario and Rozalia. They are the reason for this positive review and proof that business are people. They are warm, kind, polite and make you feel welcome.
N. C.
Once again a lovely meal this time for a 18th birthday celebration 🎂
A. K.
Good food, good service by Diego as always. We’ve been coming the the M&C for years and the food has always been good, especially the aged steak. Highly recommended.
S. m.
Amazing lunch with my husband today great value set menu, food was perfect no complaints and service very good I think our waiter was called Diego? He was great. Will definitely return.
C. S.
Had the most incredible meal for my Grandad’s 80th birthday!! The waitress “Laura” was so kind and lovely, treating my grandad to a birthday candle and cake!! Thank you so much 😊
M. K.
The food was absolutely amazing. Service is top notch. Great night out with wife to celebrate anniversary. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you!
C. W.
Never fails to please such amazing tasty steaks the staff are friendly nothing too much trouble ,have eaten there so so many times (twice in the last week ) the only criticism I have it’s not cheap and you are told you only have two hours and my daughter just came home and there were 11 of them and I think it’s rude and she said it came across not very welcoming especially as the bill was a few hundred pounds not good 🙁
S. W.
Never disappointed when we come here. But hats off to Mario who served us, fantastic service advice and all round hospitality, couldn’t of asked more from front of house. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
M. R.
We had a lovely meal at Miller and Carter, Food was excellent but the absolute star was the service we received from all staff but especially our server Adrian. This is because we had allergies and a special diet and Adrian was spot on. My daughter is allergic to Oranges and lemons he chcked everything she ordered for lemon juice and if he didn't know he check, really thorough and we were very grateful. I eat a slightly different diet and checked ingredients and made adjustments and he was completely unfazed and professional at all thimes. Polite and helpful with good food what more can you want. Thank you Adrian !
M. W.
Not great , steak cold and tough!! Very slow clearing main course plates away !!
C. S.
I was out for my husbands birthday and from the offset our server Laura was wonderful. She gave first class customer service and is a credit to the team at Reading. The meal was lovely and we will be back again.
S. C.
The food was delicious as always but our server Mario really made the evening for us. Very kind and personable - the kids loved him and I even got a birthday dessert, made my day. Thank you!!
s. s.
Lunch menu was absolutely delicious at a great price. Couldn't fault a single part of the meal. The sharing pudding platter was stunning
B. R.
We chose the fixed price lunch menu which is great value for money. Very tasty food, definitely recommend it
A. B.
Yet another amazing meal at Miller and Carter Reading our waitress Rozalia was fantastic, friendly helpful and remembered us from over 2 years ago . We definitely be back next time we have stay over in reading 5 stars
G. C.
Matt, you were insane! Made our experience so pleasant. You where very knowledgeable and gave us good advice regarding the menu as it was our first time and knew nothing!! Lovely atmosphere with lovely members of staff. Definitely will go again
B. M.
Food was lovely, amazing atmosphere and very friendly staff
J. D.
Good food and good service.
C. F.
Love a good steak but you get a great one here. I also had a lobster tail which, though small, was excellent.
k. p.
Ok to good service depending on who you get. The food is pretty average. Just a chain restaurant
C. O.
The reception was awesome and we were treated like a King and 👑. The lightening is cool. Not noisy you can hear your partner clearly. It's was a lovely experience as a first timer.
D. E.
Brilliant place with a brilliant atmosphere, coupled with always friendly and attentive staff. Shout out to Mario who served us recently!
Perfectly cooked steak, I can't recommend the T Bone enough to steak lovers. Alot of gourmet restaurants can be stingy with portions but you're always very well fed at this place.
Very fast service too so all in all will definitely be back. Thanks for the great evening!
C.
After a great day at Royal Ascot I had an incredible meal with my son at Miller and Carter.
The food was outstanding and our waiter Marco was absolutely amazing, being attentive but not over so.
The manager Teo ran the restaurant impeccably. He ensured all his guests were being looked after and enjoying themselves.
Both Teo and Marco are great assets to Miller and Carter!
Massive Thankyou.

Quite busy when we dropped in without a reservation mid-week but they sat us at a table straight away. Staff made sure both myself and my dinning partner checked in on the NHS Covid app and even had a print out with the instructions including their QR code as I didn't have the app on my phone so I was able to follow the instructions at our table. Our waitress was super friendly and took dealing with my fussy companion's dietary requirements in her stride. We both ordered the filet steak experience and our steaks were cooked exactly to our liking and arrived very fast. The cocktail list isn't extensive but the Cosmo's I had wwre excellent and we were able to also order a simple gin and tonic off menu. I didn't have a dessert but companion had the cookie and ice cream option and the sample I tried was delightful with the vanilla ice cream being of very premium quality. Overall a lovely dining experience in a upscale restaurant which is expensive but a luxurious treat which is good value for money. If you're in the market for a good quality steak in Reading Miller & Carter are worthy of business.
T. K.
Absolutely wonderful place! We had starters, mains, desserts - it was all delicious and presented so elegantly. Would definitely recommend the T-bone!
We were served by Mario who is just the most wonderful, professional, friendly and genuine waiter. He made our experience go from 5/5 to 6/5. Really cannot recommend this place enough!
L.
We went for our anniversary as we do every year and our waitress Monica was so lovely! Monica wasn't constantly asking us if everything was OK, which is a pet hate of ours
She even brought out a happy anniversary pudding out for us which we didn't expect at all! Overall atmosphere was lovely. No crowding whatsoever and staff genuinely looked happy.
Cant wait till next time 😁
Q.
Staffs are nice and big portion steak.
C. M.
Great food and service by Rozalia! 5*
J. S.
Diego was very helpful and attentive. Children’s menu is good. Vegetarian burger a little disappointing not much flavour and children’s Mac n cheese very small
R. M.
Lovely evening meal to celebrate a special occasion. Wonderful attentive service from Diego. Made to feel really special. Food and wine was excellent!
林.
I have been here at least six times, and I have to say that every service and steak is good.
M.
Great food and service, our waiter Diego was extremely friendly and helpful. Would attach a picture of the food but we ate it all! Trust me, it's really good!
J. S.
Fantastic service as always. Lovely steak cooked perfectly. You’ll never leave hungry.
L. J.
My husband and I had a very enjoyable lunchtime meal. The food was excellent and served promptly and throughout our time there our waiter "MARIO" was very attentive, cheerful and helpful. As this was our first experience of dining out during these challenging times of COVID19 we felt the staff were very reassuring and everything was cleaned and we felt safe to enjoy our meal.
We would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely go back.
L. C.
Really liked our lunch here, we were lucky to get seated as they were busy. Being pregnant I have avoided steak restaurants as love my meat served rare, however the waiter reassured me they could do a tender well cooked fillet for me and they did not dissapoint, it was very good! Loved the accompanying dishes and we had the crayfish mac and cheese too which was really nice! Washed down with a non alcoholic cocktail for me... given my hesitation I am so glad we went as now I know I can enjoy a steak there for the rest of my pregnancy!
L. A.
Best beef steak I’ve had in a while. And the dessert was delicious (cheescake)
B. W.
Good service. Food is plentiful and well cooked but on the bland side.

From red wine, starter, to steak and lobster, everything is pretty good. And very well atmosphere.
j. w.
Was served by Jonida, was absolutely lovely n polite. Would recommend
G. W.
As a party of nearly 30, the service was consistent. The food was great!
S. S.
Very nice meal, and great service from Will our waiter. Even though it was a Saturday, and a little crowded it didn't feel too bad (we had a booth, that might have helped). We were also given a 90 minute slot due to covid, but we managed to have a 3 course meal in that time and didn't feel rushed. Definitely recommend :)
R. R.
A busy river side restaurant that made us welcome despite only calling in for pudding.
J. R.
Very welcoming. Food was fantastic and the staff were superb. Already booked a table for next week for a family meal.
E. K. J.
Amazing restaurant. Would definitely come again. Best steaks in town 💪💪
Had an 18th Birthday, asked for something nice in the notes and got an amazing brownie cake.m!
Our waiter was Andreas and he was great.
M. M.
Amazing food and great service, Diego is the best, always kind and with a smile

M. A.
Thanks Bara you made our experience exceptional, I can't recommend this place enough , well done 👏
I. R.
Great food, prompt and friendly service all in a nice environment.
N. G.
My wife and I came to the restaurant for our anniversary. Even though it was Saturday night and it was very busy, our experience was so nice and top notch.
We were promptly seated & ordering was nice and fluid. Waiter was very attentive throughout our meal. There was no long wait for food and drinks.
Our steaks were tasty and so delicious, my wife commented it was the best steak she had ever had!
Thank you as always to the staff and management at Miller and Carter for making our dining experience superb. We will come again very soon!!
D. H.
The food was excellent,staff attentive and I certainly will be going again.
I would recommend the T-bone with a bonemeal side :)
Ignore the negative reviews...they smell like review bombs from the "other" steak restaurant in Reading.
J. T.
My family and I went to the Miller and Carter Reading for an evening meal a few nights ago, our waitress Pati (i think that was her name) was lovely. Our starters came a few minutes after we ordered them and our mains shortly after the starters were taken away. The meals were delicious as well.
I would like to say thank you to everyone at Miller and Carter for such a lovely experience, we shall definitely be coming back in the future.
B. S.
I haven't been to M&C for almost a year and it reminded me what I was missing. Food was prompt despite it being extremely busy, cooked perfectly and generous portions. Our server Pati was attentive, polite and had great enthusiasm making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. Will be booking a table once lockdown v2 is done!
R. B.
Love the food, the service and the atmosphere here. We are fairly regular visitors and every experience has been perfect! The steaks are always cooked to our specific desires, the drinks are varied and plentiful - the last visit we had the was a desire for cocktails and this was met with a great selection. Thank you for providing a memorable experience every time we visit!
M. A.
Good quality food. Priced accordingly. Nice atmosphere, can be quite busy
J. S.
Tonight was one of my wife and my best Miller and Carter experiences. The food was amazing and our server Chloe made our night completely perfect as she helped with recommendations and was lovely to talk too. All round great experience thanks to Chloe, hopefully we will have her next time!
A. H.
Steak is amazing considering it’s a chain business - on par with even Michelin steak restaurants we have been to! What gives the edge though is the ambience and comfort but mostly the staff - especially Diego who is wonderful!! Lunch menu is also fantastic value!
***UPDATE*** Visited M&C again today, booked a table at 6.30 which seemed a good time to go as nice and quiet (picked up a little at 7 but confident in their social distancing policies). Even though a reduced menu the food was amazing as always, the banoffee pie is a must and the lighter option of a wedge salad with a steak is still a more than a generous amount. We were also pleased to have Diego serve us yet again - his customer service skills are outstanding and one of the reasons we keep returning!! Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic return without compromise of service or food! Already booked our next visit.
G. R.
Amazing food! Fillet steak was expertly cooked. Served with amazing trimmings choices of sauces and salad leaves dressing. Chips were delicious. Portions were perfect!!! Big ones so your stuffed but dont waste any on your plate. I had mo starter. But mac and cheese side I shared half with others. I was told the red wine was also very decent. My Adams bottle beer was nice. Dessert was the sharing board. Out of all 3 we loved strawberry sorbet the most. The service was extremely good, friendly and quick enough even though I saw 2 other very large parties of nearly 20 people. Price is high but means you get fabulous food and dining experience was sat in a small cornered off room which was very nice indeed. I will be looking out for these restaurants when ever I can. Want to visit again!!
H. G.
Lovely steak. Nice surroundings and ambiance.
E. T.
Thank you to our waitress Bara for looking after us! She was very helpful and friendly. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. She made our evening special. We will be definitely back soon.
C. D.
TLDR: Delicious food, great service.
We go to Miller and Carter relatively often. Last time had the Black Angus Bistro Rump and oh my god it was amazing. Genuinely so delicious and cooked exactly as I wanted it to be cooked!
Our party of people included someone with a severe food allergy and the allergy procedure at M & C is one of the best we've seen, giving us all the information we felt we needed to make an informed decision over whether we were happy to eat there. Wish more places had such good procedures!
Our server was Marco, who is an all-round lovely bloke and made us feel very welcome and well looked after.
Thank you for a lovely birthday dinner!
E. M.
Steak cooked to perfection, nice environment, lovely staff.

Lovely food amazing service . Higher on the price scale, but the food is very good .
The interior is lovely and it was quiet when I went ( a week day )
V. M.
Excellent service and food! Our waiter Elvis delivered perfect service experience - invisible enough to let us enjoy the evening yet right there when we needed him. Knowledgable and well mannered. Food came in timely manner and was quite delicious, as well as drinks. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we will be back! Thank you Elvis and the team.
R.
Good steak restaurant little over priced for a chain. Thanks for reply. Yes service was great. Just a little shame chateaux briand was fatty at one end and a tad over cooked when asked for blue. But we will be back. We normally pay £45 in similar steak houses for that and up to 65 in high end restaurants. Given chain id expect closer to £45.
S. C.
Succulent, tender steak and cooked to perfection. Staff very attentive.
L. M.
Wonderful evening with a friend at Miller and Carter this evening. Our lovely waitress Pati was amazing, very professional and friendly. Service was incredible! Food is always a 10/10 here. I highly recommend the fillet steak and garlic mushrooms. If you love steak - here is the place to be with Pati serving you!
M. L.
Today we had an amazing dinning experience, our waiter Mario surpass all our expectations with his recommendation from starter, drinks and the main course, which was divine by the way. Well done to the chef my friend wants to marry him. Be back soon
L. S.
First time ever going there, steak was lovely, drinks were amazing and service was fast and attentive. Our waitress was Rozolia and I hope I’m spelling that right, and she was lovely. Will definitely come again.
R. L.
Superb food as always today, and exceptional service from Monica! We are always treated very well when we go to MC, however, today she went above and beyond, she is certainly a great asset to Miller & Carter.
Thank you Monica, we will be back soon 😊

R. B.
We came here for our 8th anniversary, a beautiful meal as always. Will, our server, was absolutely fantastic, went above and beyond to make sure it was a special meal for us. 100% will be coming back for another special occasion.
L. B.
My friends and I visited on Friday 7 August for a birthday celebration 🎉 our host Nicole was lovely! She was very bubbly and gave amazing service with a smile 😄 A lovely gesture of a slate pudding board saying Happy Birthday 🥳 was the icing on the cake! My first experience at Miller and Carter! I cannot wait to go back!
K. G.
An amazing visit to miller and carter this evening, such great food and really good to sit inside to have a proper meal.
Our service was really great, Angie was so helpful and really made our evening enjoyable and relaxing

Special night Best food Best server Mihai. I will come back
J. T.
Staff were friendly, food was good, steak was cooked perfectly. Not sure the scallops worked as a starter though, too much going on with that dish.
L. C.
Delicious food and amazing service. Would highly recommend coming here. Lara C bubbly personality made the evening.
a.
been to a few M&C and this is a good one. great steaks, very knowledgeable and helpful staff. they clearly know their menu and happy to help you out. spacious restaurant, all good. went Friday afternoon didn't feel rushed. well done Reading M&C, good work.
V. R.
Marco our waiter was helpful, attentive (but not in your face attentive) and just so, so lovely.
The food was beautiful and there was so much to choose from. Opted for a cocktail for dessert which was very nice too.
All in all, a brilliant first time dining there experience and will definitely be back!
A. W.
Wonderful meal at the Reading branch, served by the lovely Jonida! Everything was spot on!
H. B.
Bara provided us with an amazing service and knowledge of Prosecco and steaks. Very cheerful and pleasant! The steaks were slightly dry, especially the fillet mignon, which was a shame. Nevertheless, the service by Bara made our experience superb! Thank you! We’ll be coming again for sure.
G.
Very good lunch menu. But as the large seating area is in the shade. Be sure to wrap up, even on a Sunny day while dining is outside only.
K. G.
Excellent service and excellent value for money. Lovely staff and good atmosphere
J. R.
Great food and great services as always. Only downside this visit was that they are now no longer doing outside service now that Covid restrictions have eased. It's only been a couple of days since 17th so it seems a mistake to completely remove outside service so quickly.
C. E. -. G.
The best steak I have ever had! Succulent and tasty. Totally over complicated set of sauce options(If you have, steak, chips, greens - you get offered sauces to go with each part, but the menu doesn't make this clear) Friendly servers. Noisy/energetic atmosphere
S. K.
Absolutely brilliant. Especially the Spanish waiter
O. C.
Big thank you to lara for being fantastic, funny and helpful. The food was excellent too.
A. J.
Great meal despite the new normal. I enjoyed 3 courses and wine. Rozalia my server was very attentive and kept the required distance in the new serving situation. Will be going back very soon!
C. B.
Went to Miller and Carter for our end of term dancers dinner and we had such a fantastic evening!! The food was sensational, there was a great atmosphere and the service was just perfect. Our waitress Grace was so friendly and really went out of her way to make sure that we had a wonderful evening. We will definitely be coming back again.
R. G.
Big shoutout to Matt who looked after us. Professional, quick amazing food. Great experience
R. C.
Very high quality and tasty ribs. Suitable offering of drinks for a sweeter tooth. Friendly if firm staff. Would recommend a visit again, just be aware it's typically £40/head. FSA rating 5/5 as of 22/05/2018.
D. B.
Fabulous place..Friendly, polite, excellent at what they do. They have an great manager and assistant manager who always acknowledges you when you visit. We have been going for years, either as couples or a party. The food is always perfect, the atmosphere is always lovely in here. Never rush you, and love the fact you can acknowledge a good meal by dinging the bell !
L. C.
Rozalia was amazing looked after our table. Checked up with us and made sure we had everything we had and kindly brought me a small brownie with candle for my birthday. Always great food and service.
K. J.
Went for our post wedding celebration. The service was brilliant and Lara was great, especially with our children.
R. R.
Phenomenol food and service. Our waitress,Nicole,couldn't do enough. You get what you pay for and this was the best !

Rico, what a waiter, very pleasant and helpful. In fact the staff at M&C, Reading branch do an outstanding job, thank you guys n gals.
D. C.
Our daughter treated us to a voucher as a birthday present to my husband who likes a steak. Excellent steaks cooked to perfection!! We went on a Sunday which has a choice of a set menu which is extremely well priced for the standard of food and service you receive. I would recommend a visit to anyone. We will definitely be going again!
F. S.
Good food, Great service
Marco is an amazing waiter
J. W.
It was ok... the service was brilliant, the waiter was incredibly helpful. However, the halloumi fries were salty and the sea brass was slightly greasy... a good drink selection. I'll think twice about eating there again...
S.
I would like to thank all the staff at Miller and Carter (Oracle) for being amazing and remaining to give great service throughout, even with the issues that Covid may involve. I also would like to give a special thanks to Diego for being very efficient with his service and for being so lovely and always smiling. I must admit its one of my favourite places to dine. So thanks again.
J. B.
Food is great! The staffs are accommodating and friendly especially to the lovely lady (Angie) who served us. 👍
j. r.
Great meal. Perfect steak. Great service.
S. P.
We was served by Laura, an amazing lady. She was always so helpful and a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend.
C. H.
Miller & Carter in Reading is such a great place for a meal out. Its our "go-to" place for celebrations. This time it was our 26th wedding anniversary. The meal was fab, I had fillet steak with the light option which meant I had a side salad instead of chips (first time ever!) and it was so tasty. I went for the beef dripping sauce on the steak which was like a really fab gravy (I do love my gravy). Big shout out to our host Pati, she was the right amount of attentive without being in our faces. Plus, the evening was made even more special when Pati arranged for a lovely dessert with Happy Anniversary on the plate, lovely touch. Thank you, we will be back. Oh and all the special rules were observed without anyone feeling awkward - it's nice to get back to a "new normal".
L. K.
It's a steak restaurant and not one of the better ones I've been to. Admittedly, it's not over priced for what it is. Went as quite a big group with some last minute attendees that hadn't preordered. The restaurant dealt really well with it and I certainly can't fault any of the front of house staff. The food was pretty decent, but wasn't anything special enough for me to go out of my way to go there again.
P.
Really good steak and Marco provided really good service.
K. A.
It was lovely to be back in our favourite steak house after months in lockdown. Delicious as always. Special thanks to Marco who makes our stay even more enjoyable every time.
j. B.
One of, if not the best steak house in reading. We had excellent service from Pati. Our first meal out since covid lockdown and the restaurant have taken all the correct steps in making us feel safe, welocme and comfortable.
J. R.
Amazing steaks ! Me and the husband always come for a good meal out. Went out celebrating my husband's promotion. Service was fast and friendly. Food was cooked perfectly, as my husband likes his steak blue! The lettuce with blue cheese sauce is so delicious. Will be going again very soon.
G. M.
The service was very good but the steaks were a bit of a let down. They had a good flavour but were quite chewy. The steak sauces were good. Disappointingly the jacket spuds are microwaved not properly baked (I'd checked beforehand but still got a microwaved one I had replaced quickly with fries). On balance, I'd not go there again.
s. j.
Amazing restaurant, amazing food with outstanding service. Recently every restaurant I have gone to have been lacking in service. Miller and Carter are incredible for service from the minute you book to the minute you leave. The steak genuinely rivals some of the top streak restaurants I have been to in Central London. Would highly recommend! Mario was in particular superb! Thanks
C.
I had a really great experience here! My steak was cooked perfectly and the peppercorn sauce went really well with the steak and fries! Miller & Carter is definitly my "go-to" steakhouse from now on!
M. S.
Absolutely fantastic food, was a lovely evening..
R. R.
Rozalia is an amazing waitress, she is humorous and very helpful. The red wine she recommended to us is awesome. The food is really nice and we enjoyed our night here. Really recommended!
A. G.
We purchased the Bistro Rump Steak. It was perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth delicious. Love the iceberg lettuce with a salad sauce and the onion loaf. I can't remember the last time we had a steak so good. The service was outstanding too. Grace was attentive without being intrusive. Thank you M & C.
P. K.
Visited for the first time last week and my new plan is to come back every week thanks to Eduart's amazing service and menu recommendations. A big thank you from us. Excellent service, food, and wine
J. B.
Had a lovely evening in here for my birthday. Adrian was super helpful and got us everything we needed in no time at all 😀
A. S.
Come here for really fantastic steak. I always forget how much I love the steaks here until I go back! The medium ribeye was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The fries were very tasty and the beef dripping sauce was an extremely delicious surprise. Wine selection is good and sides offer some good choices. Starters are a bit limited for me personally, and no desserts really grab my attention. Service is very attentive as usual. For a fat well cooked steak - highly recommended.
S.
Marco our waiter was an absolute legend. An asset to ur team!
P. W.
Always love Miller and Carter - we had amazing food delivered quickly and the team were helpful and friendly. Adrian our waiter was fantastic!
B.
Had a rib-eye and was impressed. Very good and cooked to the level I requested. The starters I ordered were nice but nothing particularly special. Regardless, will definitely return for steak and will try other sides/desserts next time.
R. S.
Excellent food was so delicious, staff very accommodating and friendly.
B. S.
My partner and I had a lovely meal here to celebrate our anniversary. The waiter, Eddie, was brilliant. Very attentive, on the ball, polite and cheery. The food was lovely and the atmosphere perfect. Would recommend for all future occasions.

Awesome service by our waiter Will last night, food fantastic as always, even outdoors. Well done Will !!

Great service, the steak is one of the best I've eaten.
M. L.
Adrian and laaaurra were were absolutely fantastic great anniversary meal best service, best restaurant!
J. N.
I'm generally a fan of Miller and Carter. They cook good quality steak and they cook it well. Sides are nice. Sauces are tasty. It's not cheap, but the price is fair. Staff are generally friendly and cheerful. Cleanliness and maintainance also seem to be of a high standard. Would go again.

The food and the service we received was exceptional good. The waitress always made sure that our glasses were filled up and the steaks came as we ordered. the desert selection was somehow limited, but by then we were stuffed anyways. would definitely go again.
L. S.
Extremely nice restaurant, food is high quality so is higher priced as expected. Steak dishes were delicious and servers were both helpful and friendly!
S. H.
Excellent food (steak) and not overpriced.
S. W.
I had the 16oz Aged Rib Eye, which was served medium, as requested. A very nice steak, no doubt, but I've had better. Sides were nice, but they should do something about the 'default' fries that come with the steaks. They look and taste like they came out of a freezer bag, and a bad quality one at that. They may beg to differ, or maybe agree - I don't care. All I can say, with assuredness, is that much nicer fries are available from the freezer department in your local supermarket. They offer substitutes, at a small premium, but that is not the point. Bottom line - I expect a good Steakhouse like this to serve proper french fries with their steaks. Anything else is cheap, sloppy, and unbecoming. Attention to detail, people. Please.

My boyfriend and I have always loved miller and carter. Reading always has amazing food, lovely atmosphere, and brilliant service- particularly Pati. She was outstanding last night, so attentive, great personality and sense of humour, and really made the night even more special. Can’t fault the restaurant in any way, love it!

We had a lovely lunch at Miller & Carter in the Oracle today to celebrate my Dad’s 75th birthday.
It was our first time eating out since lockdown as Dad was shielding for 5 months.
He was very anxious anyway but he had no need to be worried as the restaurant was very well set up.
Our server Peter was very attentive & even though he was abiding by the COVID-19 safety rules he made us feel very welcome & got whatever we requested.
He even surprised my Dad with a piece of cake & a candle for his birthday, it was a lovely touch.
Thank you Peter & Miller & Carter!

Always great for steak. Service was excellent too.

Cosy place to share a steak with friends. Extremely popular too, always a good sign. Generally I've not booked, can lead to a small wait for a table but have always been able to find one eventually (I tend to visit midweek evenings). Have been here on many occasions and have never been disappointed. The lettuce wedge served as standard is a nice touch. Portions are generous and if you're feeling especially greedy the sides are great too.

It was my girlfriend and i’s first trip to Miller and Carter, it was a belated 18th birthday meal and Grace served us and she made us all feel very welcome and had incredible service! the food was excellent couldnt of asked for anything better!
L. T.
A lovely meal. Thanks to Mario our waiter who's service was excellent
J. W.
Superb service, great hosting by Pepe, who couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and well looked after. He also interacted so well with my daughter, taking her up to see the chef and ring the bell by the kitchen. A credit to the company!

No body makes a meab steak like miller and carter
G. M.
Food always reliably tasty and the service is excellent. They hold onto their waiting staff and it's nice to be recognised and have a quick catch up with them. Ambience is good and decor is still holding up well. Some nice choices away from the steak menu.
E. S.
Nice atmosphere, staff and food as always

Choosing to spend our anniversary at your establishment was a great idea. The food was divine and the service from our waitress, Grace was exceptional. Friendly and attentive, we shall return.
G. M. (.
A very posh restraunt and steakhouse. Great food and friendly staff. My dad was celebrating my birthday and the staff brought out a desert with candles. It was a nice touch and they made my day even more special that it honestly caught me by surprise - in a good way.
A. R.
Great food and friendly staff. However they served my girlfriends steak with seasoning after she had requested it plain due to allergies. They were quick to right this and took a substantial amount off the bill.
E. N.
We went out for a birthday meal, I completely messed up and got the timings wrong, so we arrived two hours late to the booking. They were really accomodating and let us in straight away, our server Aurora was lovely and the food was amazing
M. G.
What a fantastic experience. I visited recently and was served by the endearing Courtney who offered wonderful food suggestions and helped me and my partner have an amazing anniversary. The food was excellent, but the staff really make the effort. Courtney, thank you for an amazing night :)
L. D.
Peppe was a lovely waiter to have tonight! He was so chatty and bubbly, giving fab recommendations on the food we were buying! He made us feel so welcome and at home throughout our experience and even catered to the needs of my back when I needed to change the chair to give me a bit more support. Overall a fantastic experience, we have never experienced anything negative here and tonight was even better. Thank you to Peppe for the outstanding service provided tonight, we had a lovely time.

I visited today in Miller and carter restaurant with my family. I celebrate my 29th birthday. Starter calamari and garlic chees bread. My black angus steak was properly cooked how i order. Perfect steak. Very nice staff Miro served our table he is very friendly. Staff did very special evening for me and my family.
Thank you everyone for this lovely evening.

Really good experience from this place. Food was lovely & we were served by Mario who was fantastic. I even made a mistake on the booking with the number of guests, but they sorted it out straight away! Thank you to all the staff.

My first experience at Miller & Carter was amazing , i was severd by a a waiter called Mario who was so welcoming and friendly throughout which ofcourse contributed to making the meal me and my wife had delightful , we will definitely be coming back very soon :)
J. M.
MY wife and I had a meal here on the 23rd of October 2017. The sirloin steak was decent and the waiting staff were the right level of attentive. Right up until the last 15-20 minutes. We had finished our meal and had asked for the bill, the previously polite and attentive server was very rude for some unknown reason and then took almost 20 minutes to bring us the bill. It's almost like he didn't want a tip, to which we duly obliged. Ruined the meal for us and left us both agitated and disappointed.
R. S.
Good food, friendly and expedient service would recommend. Thanks Nikol
T. S.
Had a lovely meal today - was served by Peppe. He was brilliant, really friendly, funny guy and he added to the atmosphere of the night - we had a great time. The food was lush and the banoffee pie is definitely a desert I'll be having again. Cheers
S. S.
Awesome service by our waiter Will last night, food fantastic as always, even outdoors. Well done Will !!
r. m.
Normally 5 stars but today the steak was over cooked and when you are 30 quid into a steak you expect better. Food and drink served quickly. Staff plesent. Very clean toilets. Not one for kids really.
M. L.
Amazing food, each course was something special. Don't miss the halloumi fries. Steak was a dream, even the salad wedge was great. Shout out to waiter Mario. Great night.
L. F.
The best food and the best service 💖 thank you to Kris

Been here twice and both meals have been amazing. The second time, there were a few large parties (sunday). I did not feel the service was good, but the food was still great.
S. D.
Come here a few times now, Fantastic Service every single time without fail. Always manage to impress, food is absolutely spectacular. Lovely atmosphere and always immaculate.
Thank you as always M&C. A real pleasure.

For a restaurant famed for its steaks, it was immensely disappointing to send back one, cold chewy rump only to got a second, hotter, chewy rump! Waiter was lovely but did not see the need or was not backed by management to adjust our bill in any way so had to complain and request a discount which I felt was reasonable on the second attempt! Sounds silly to say, but service was a little too efficient. We were out for the evening but due to the speed of each course arriving, we were done and dusted in an hour and a half! One plus was that the restaurant followed my online request for a table in a quieter area of the dining area.
M. O.
Food was exceptional and what made it even better was Angie our waitress! Please ask for her when you come in 😊
A. B.
Overall the dining experience was ok. The serving staff were polite and attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant appeared clean and well kept. The food was a mixed result unfortunately.
The starter of garlic bread with cheese was disappointing as it appeared to have been a brief introduction between the dish and the oven. The cheese was still in the in-between stage of melted and unmelted cheese aka cheese mush. The bread was still cold on the bottom and a mere hint of a toasting on top.
The mains of rib-eye with the loaded fries was a mixture of a nice juicy medium steak and luke warm fries that had lost their crispiness due to being held too long for the steak to be ready.
Overall I would say on this visit it was not exactly value for money. I came away full having enjoyed the one thing I went for (The rib-eye) the peripheral parts let the whole experience down.
I will give it another shot one day in the interest of fairness 😉
D. K.
Lovely service great steak.
S. B.
Phenomenal.... beef dripping steak sauce is amazing! Highly recommend the butchers block!
g. b.
The service was extremely quick, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food was outstanding and is definitely worth the money! We were served by Giuseppe and there was no issues through out the whole meal.
A. G.
Lovely food, steak was amazing!

My Bestie and I eat here regularly,
1st time back after Lockdown
And they didn't dissappoint. Safety was paramount. The most relaxing evening
OMG ,nobody but nobody does a steak like Miller and Carter .we had 4 courses and you know when food never tasted better
Compliments to the Fantastic chefs
The waiters and everyone that had a hand in making our evening so special
Love you guys xx
J. A.
Valentine's 2019... was lucky enough to get a table without booking for me and the lovely wife, thankfully half term is next week, the caveat was that we had to complete our meal in under 1hr 45.
Served by Marco and he was attentive as usual despite getting busy as the lunch time rush of Valentine's couples poured in.
Three courses went down in a pleasurable way and we easily completed the challenge of finishing in the allotted time. We even had time for a coffee and hot chocolate to wash down the meal.
The bill at the end was not too much of a shock, so we both left satisfied.
N. R.
INCREDIBLE.
service was amazing & food likewise

Marco is fantastic. Definitely get serve by this legend.

My personal fave is the onion loaf.
Thank you Pati, lovely experience and was my friends birthday and she loved it.

Visited as a guest in the Miller & Carter Oracle We were entertaining friends from California, and enjoyed our side table. We chose to stay indoors - to enjoy the air conditioning 😊. I just want to say that, in addition to a nice meal, we had a delightful waiter Donald 🙌he had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency.he recognised that we wanted time to visit and did not rush us and made certain that we had everything we needed. We’ll be back!
K. I.
Always a brilliant experience here. We were served by Peppe- very knowledgeable and very genuine guy, who also added to the great experience. Food is always delicious, wine is always good- great place which I highly recommend.

Came here for a friend’s birthday- efficient service with a friendly welcome, they bought us over a birthday brownie at the end without us even saying anything! Thank you Bara, 10/10 food and service
M. S.
Fabulous food, T bone steak was amazing as was the porcini mushroom and black garlic sauce. Chocolate orange pudding was heavenly. Our server was Gabor, he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I have avoided this restaurant until now thinking it wouldn't be that great, how wrong I was. Will definitely be back.
K. S.
Staff very attentive and respect social distancing, mask wearing etc. Great food and quick service.

From start to finish . Strong recommendation
The best quality food and restaurant atmosphere (inside and out seating)

Great service and beautiful steak. Very nice 😊
A. M.
I leave 3 stars but I think 2. I know times are hard so I am moderate in my reviews.
M&C looks classy. Prices are on the high end for the area. So the bar is placed high. As a customer, I had high expectations when I walked in.
My guest asked to see the cut before it's cooked. The waited refused. In such places, if the customer wants to see the meat before it's cooked, it's his right. There is not reason to refuse unless you don't want to play the game and refuse the challenge.
The meat was average. Nothing memorable and nothing to justify the price.
I wish them well, but I won't go back myself.
J. H.
The food is a carnivores dream! The steaks are cooked very well, I recommend getting a side of Ribs too. There is a good choice of cocktails and beers. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the waiting times on a table can be very long, we have waited over 90 minutes to be seated before. You can wait at the bar which is also acceptable. The food can take a while when busy but never takes too long.
Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting. A good meal for a couple will cost around £50-60.
Z. L.
Booked a table in advance and we were seated very promptly. We ordered Sirlion Steaks which were very good with peppercorn sauce and fries. Had the bread and butter pudding which was ok. Overall food was very good, a little pricey in terms of cost and busy atmosphere as you would expect on a Friday night
E. T.
Big corridors, lot of light coming from the ceilings. Nice atmosphere around. Don't miss go to the restaurants next to the river.
K. R.
I came here on weds 13th Sep. On arrival we (our party of 5) were given a warm welcome by a young lady called Evie. She had excellent customer service. We sat and ordered food and the guy serving us who was called Marco was extremely polite and friendly and made us all feel right at home.
As for the food. It was delicious and equally as satisfying as the excellent customer service!
I live in London but will most certainly be visiting this wonderful establishment again on my next trip to reading. I loved my trip to Miller & Carter!
D. J.
Great food and great staff Sophie was amazing
L. M. (.
Took my partner here as a surprise days bight and it was fantastic Marco was brilliant and couldn't have been more helpful
K. H.
My hubby and I had the most brilliant meal together here. He had a huge TBone steak and I had a fillet. Our waitress Courtney recommended a lovely bottle of Malbec for us, and even let us try two of them to decide which we liked best when we couldn't decide. She was very helpful and went above and beyond. Another blonde waitress who brought us our starters and mains was also very helpful. Seems like all of the staff are outstanding. Lovely service to accompany lovely food. Count us as a new fan Miller & Carter, can't wait to return!
P. P.
Diego was accommodating to my keto die and made good suggestions. Food was fresh salads, great blue & Stilton and properly cooked steak. Nice music vibe too

Went on my birthday a couple of days ago! The service from Diego was amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Great lunch we had today. Nice atmosphere and outstanding service from Diego our waiter that always paid intension on us. Keep it up 👍 👌

It was my first time visiting Miller and Carter in Reading. Visit was outstanding, I enjoyed every min of our visit. We were served by Marco, he was awesome if I could I would rate his service with 10*

Have visited here many times. Always a good steak accompanied with nice sides. Very attentive staff team. Overall a good experience that is in my eyes good value for what they provide.
j. b.
Very good service. The steaks are great and the drinks are quite varied and exotic. Only issue I ever had was that they ran out of ingredients for a cocktail and didn't offer a discounted price. But great experience overall
R. K.
Lovely food which we all enjoyed. Very attentive staff that looked after all our needs and nothing was too much trouble. It topped off a very enjoyable Mother's Day. Definitely recommend
M. C. C.
Very good meal, I don't understand the bowl of lettuce 😕 but then to be fair, I love weird things, the waitress was amazing and service was great, no complaints.
C. G.
Really nice place with great food and amazing staff. Especially thank you for Grace who were our waitress. She is awesome and very professional. Thank you and definitely I recommend this place.

Having struggling to book a table online and to be told over the phone 'We do not reserve tables after 7pm on Saturdays' I was greeted by a very arrogant guy at the desk who without even saying hello told me 'I need you off the table by 7.30' Strange how someone had booked the table when they don't take bookings after 7.00pm on Saturdays. Having watched the guy at the desk greet other customers, he clearly took pleasure from upsetting people and being un-helpful.
The three stars in my review go to the service staff who were very polite and attentive and for the great steak.
I would go again but maybe the service staff should be promoted to management, as they have a far better understanding of good customer service!
S. A.
Good food and very good service from our waiter Marco
E. O.
Fab evening, brilliant service from Jonida! Will be back for sure!
S. G.
One of my favourite places to eat in The Oracle. Lovely surroundings the place by the canal comes alive at night. Great steak nowhere better. Clean, staff helpful, great food. What more do you need.
S. H.
For starters I had Chipotle chicken which was delicious ,my companion had scallops which were also good but disappointingly was only served three which at £10 was overpriced. Main course I had steak ,very good but in my opinion was overpriced, delicious food but I have had better at a more reasonable price.
h. w.
Excellent service by Mihal and great food all round
R. I.
Good Service, food came out quick, steak was cooked reasonably well with good fries and sauce. Was it worth the price, not sure about that. the more I think about it, the more I believe to be expensive for what it was.
T. C.
Another fantastic meal, what a great restaurant.
A. M. R.
This restaurant its amazing, service with a smile all the times from Monica a lovely and friendly lady, plus the food its cooked to perfection , big portions and really tasty
L. S.
We attended as a small trio and always love Miller and Carter. Along with the brilliantly cooked chateaubriand we had Diego as our waiter who was more than attentive and one of the best hosts I've had in restaurants across the UK.
WELL DONE DIEGO!
A. W.
Miller and Carter in the oracle was a very clean and inviting place with no queue when I visited at lunch time. The waiter was polite and attentive and the food was well presented when it was delivered to my table. The only critic would be on all steaks you are presented with a lettuce wedge which does not need to be here and in most cases is asked to be not added to the plate.
T. P. C. G.
Amazingly cooked steak perfect to how i ordered, time to table and ordering was decent and food arrived all as ordered, was going to drop a star as expected a warm cookie with icecream but the icecream itself was really good so the cookie didn't matter. Would definitely recommend and come again.
N. O.
Amazing restaurant, amazing food with outstanding service. All family enjoy so much, my mums had great Birthday thanks to Diego. We will be back soon. Thanks again
B.
Amazing restaurant. Great staff. The food was exquisite. It was honestly one of the best steaks I have tasted. I recommend eating there.
B. D.
It's a steakhouse. Order the steaks. It's good. It's REALLY good. And the service was great. Visited twice in a week. Had the buttermilk chicken the second night and that was a bit dry. Note to self (and humanity): When in a steakhouse order steak. Not chicken. Not Salad. Steak. The steak is great.
C. P.
Love this restraunt hoping to get back soon.excellent staff and food out of this world
A.
GREAT steaks!!! -but...
Oh the Steakhouse...I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I have eaten here many times so let me explain why they keep getting my money.
I *love* the food and I hate everything else. If you love steak, this place does excellent steak!
However, the services is consistantly sluggish, there seems to be plenty of staff but they're just disorganised or inefficient, inexperienced probably.
On occasion I have had dirty wine glasses or not recieving a steak knife.
Several times I've had to wait more than 15 minutes for drinks, that's a massive fail for any place that has a £22 steak on the menu.
Food takes a bit longer to arrive than drinks...
But when the food arrives, the very idea makes me salivate. This could be a really great place to eat in, it just needs quicker service times and more attentful/experienced staff.
I have been a regular for quite some time and every visit the experience was a little bit better. Glasses are clean, service is faster and even the food arrives sooner.
On the basis of the regular and consistent improvement I'm changing my score from 3 to 4 stars - well done!
T. B.
Food & service were both lovely.
Would highly recommend.
P. G.
Beautiful food. Fantastic service. Worth the visit

The best steaks in a town !
B. M.
Great start table ready 30mins early, good food and service except for 2 things. I met a waitress leaving the ladies customer toilet with her apron on (basic food hygiene commands waiting staff and chefs should remove aprons when using the toilet), do you not have a staff toilet? Secondly a young male food runner bumped the back of my chair on more than 2 occasions - sorry "Oyster theory" and therefore left me feeling a bit disgruntled. Table 57 and our waitress who was fab was Monica - cheers
r. H.
great food, staff are really friendly!
C. S.
Brilliant food. Check out the photo. Yummy!
J. C.
Steak here is very high quality and cooked to perfection, although seriously let down with the sides. This was my salad an iceberg lettuce quartered with foul tasting sauce smothered over the top. Really?
What a shame. Well done with the steak tho guys.
Reply to response below:
I appreciate they ar not salads per se but surely they could be presented better than a quartered lettuce in a bowl it looks lazy and odd even if you do dress it up with a name like "lettuce wedge" lol
I should said something about the sauce but I was in a rush as has the cinema booked, steak was amazing tho.
D. L.
Me and my wife come for my birthday and it was amazing the best Miller & Carter we've been too. Very welcoming and Will was a very professional very friendly.
c. c.
The good bit first - booked a table and was seated upon arrival. Waiter (Rosalia) was friendly and attentive helps when one of your friends is from the same country. This went downhill from there onward.
Firstly I ordered a Grass Fed Rib Eye steak with mash and lettuce. Lettuce was fresh and crunchy. Mash was hot but not buttery nor seasoned with pepper. The worst bit was the steak - order was for medium. I got it lukewarm, rare and salty. Even more importantly it was grizzly. For £27 this was exceptionally poor value.
I asked my friends afterwards and they said theirs were a touch tough, both had sirloin.
I phoned and left a message and was called back. The response was we can't do anything now as you did not complaint then. They sell thousands of steak each week but they do not check the quality from their supplier. As a former food operator this is not an acceptable answer. I also mentioned that the steaks from Lidl was better. The reply was Lidl's steak is not greatest of quality so what does it imply? Theirs was worst in my eyes and that makes their total rubbish then?
All in all a very poor experience and money not well spent.
L. P.
Absolutely fantastic food was spot on and staff were so friendly and helpful. One of the best meals I have had in a very long time
c. b.
Great food, nicest steak iv ever had and have been several times. Good service just a bit pricey. But worth the cost for a treat!
M. H.
Came here for Christmas so my experience might be slightly tainted by the holidays, but this restaurant has not lived up to the glowing reviews. The food was very average, the price was slightly too high, and the staff clearly had other things on their mind. I came as part of a big group and several items were forgotten from our order. I won't be coming back during a busy period, however I'm still keen to try some of the other items on the menu.
K. K.
Great food and staff always giving a great service in particular Monica - she is fantastic.
S. J.
Perfect steak and service as always. Grace did a fantastic job and made us feel very comfortable. Would always reccommend.
S. C.
I was told it was an off night by the couple we went with. But it did not have the air of a quality restaurant, just seemed to me to be another bulk standard place with average food and acceptable surroundings. Staff were very nice but as the food was the main reason for going I give it a 3 star.
M. L.
An amazing experience! Really relaxing, such a good atmosphere, our waiter Peppa was so nice and made everything so relaxing for us. Worth visiting any day of the week
A. H.
Absolutely amazing food and service our waiter Eddy was so polite and had a great sense of humour. Made for a brilliant night out 10/10 will recommend

Thanks to our waiter Peter for perfect taking care of us. We had such a lovely dinner and he made us evening special. We will be back soon.

Great food, get the chilli burger if you like spice🔥🔥 and for service.. it was 100% amazing. Pepe was so helpful and he treated me to s surprise cake for my bday.
