About Jetset Restaurant

Overview

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Jetset Restaurant brings an authentic taste of the Dominican Republic to the Lehigh Valley. As a family-owned Dominican restaurant, Jetset offers more than just a meal—it invites guests into a vibrant cultural experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted by colorful décor, rhythmic Latin beats, and the promise of genuine Caribbean hospitality. Whether you’re craving traditional mofongo or planning an unforgettable private event, Jetset Restaurant delivers flavors, festivities, and community connections under one roof.

Authentic Dominican Flavors

At Jetset Restaurant, the menu showcases the hearty, soulful dishes that define Dominican cuisine. Start your meal with the much-lauded Picadera Plate for Two—a generous assortment of salami, cheese, tostones, yuca, and more, designed for sharing. “It was plenty for two people,” raves one delighted diner. For main courses, you’ll find classics such as sancocho, churrasco, and pescado frito, all prepared with house-made sauces and fresh local ingredients. While the kitchen’s lively atmosphere reflects its popularity—and can occasionally lead to longer waits—many guests agree that the wait is well worth it when each plate arrives sizzling hot, fragrant, and bursting with Caribbean zest.

Vibrant Atmosphere & Entertainment

Jetset Restaurant thrives on energy. Throughout the week, DJs spin Latin and reggaetón hits, creating an electric backdrop for dinner and drinks. On Saturdays, the stage lights up for karaoke nights and live acts—everything from solo singers to full bands. One regular notes, “Karaoke Saturday was a blast, and the DJ was very professional.” Meanwhile, performers like Kinito have drawn enthusiastic crowds with their dynamic shows. Whether you’re unwinding over cocktails in the lounge or showing off your vocal chops under the spotlights, Jetset’s entertainment calendar promises memorable nights and a lively social scene.

Community & Special Offerings

Jetset Restaurant goes beyond food and music by serving as a hub for the local Dominican community. On the third Saturday of every month, the Dominican consulate sets up a mobile office right on-site, enabling residents to process passport renewals, birth certificates, and other documents without traveling to the main office. This unique service earns heartfelt praise: “They allow the consulate to meet Dominican citizens … without having to travel,” one guest shares. It’s just one example of how Jetset blends culinary hospitality with practical community support.

Events, Celebrations & Private Gatherings

With two spacious reception rooms and a front dining area, Jetset Restaurant is equally adept at hosting intimate family dinners and grand celebrations. Wedding receptions, anniversaries, graduation parties and corporate mixers all come alive in these versatile spaces. The backroom doubles as a billiards hall and late-night dance floor, offering pool tables and room to groove after hours. Guests appreciate the flexibility: “Beautiful restaurant for any occasion and large reception rooms for weddings, parties …” and more. Whether you’re planning an elegant banquet or a casual pool-and-salsa night, Jetset’s event team ensures every detail—from custom menus to audio-visual setups—meets your vision.

Value & Service

Jetset Restaurant balances affordable pricing with generous portions. Many diners comment that their checks come in under expectation, especially when sharing platters or taking advantage of happy hour specials. That said, the restaurant’s popularity means peak times can stretch service staff thin. Some guests have experienced slower table turns and order mix-ups, but Jetset’s management is attentive: they welcome feedback, and will gladly address any concerns—whether it’s retrieving a forgotten side dish or adjusting a drink order. As one visitor advises, “Be patient and ask for assistance if something is amiss. The team wants you to leave happy.”
