"This is my 2nd time coming here. This time it was a Team meal, no one else in our group had been here before.
I ordered the Ribeye and so did 3 of my colleagues. Our Boss went for the Fillet. The wait time was a little long because of how busy it was, however we were seen regular and we got some nice photos together.
The food arrived and was piping hot and cooked to perfection. One of our Team is from South Africa and stated that this was the single best Steak he has had in the U.K. in 5 years (he loves steak). Everyone else was in awe at the quality.
For Dessert we had Churros and they were also amazing.
The Bill was reasonable for 4 persons with lots of Soft drinks and coffees. As you would expect the location was cleaner than a Hospital and the staff were amazing throughout. We were also impressed that the staff knew which meal was for which person.
Next time I plan a day out to Reading I will bring my Family as they will all love it here."

"Buenasado is a really nice venue located right on the edge of the Oracle shopping centre - it is bolted to the side. But what a venue. When you enter (the door is surprisingly heavy?) you find a darkly decorated and relaxing interior. This has two floors of tables. It has a really nice clean and darkly modern feel. The menu is decent and centred around steak cuts (being a steakhouse…). I chose sirloin 11oz with a side of broccoli. The steak itself was cooked well and tasty however for me there was too much fat. Maybe I’m just fussy but I don’t like lots of chunks of fat on my steak. Note this seems to be a thing with steak houses in the UK as opposed to Dublin where the rump steaks have virtually no fat. Can’t fault the food though. The chunky chips are tasty and deceptively filling. There is a good wine list to choose from. The staff were very friendly, efficient and very good. I will go back. Recommended."
