I booked dinner for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Setting, food and service were wonderful. Highly recommend for a special occasion. We had scallops and oysters to start and beef and lamb for main and desserts. The service was attentive but not intrusive and very engaging. Really enjoyable evening.

We had a wonderful welcome from the Maitre D on our arrival and this set the tone for the evening. She casually enquired if it was a special night. I said a it was a belated birthday dinner, and later I received a nice touch of a desert plate with candle, even though I didn't order dessert. Waiters were attentive and professional. While at initial glance, the a la carte menu appears on the pricy side, the Table d'hote menu was available with a good selection, well priced at €72. The starter on the a la carte were a bit restricting, 3 of the 4, being fish or shellfish. We will be returning.

My wife and I had the pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at The Saddle Room, and it was truly a lovely evening. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome, setting the tone for a memorable experience. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The food was very good. We enjoyed every bite, from the starters to the dessert. The presentation was also top-notch, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable. However, what truly set the evening apart was the outstanding service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time, attentive without being intrusive. Their genuine care and attention to detail made our anniversary celebration even more special. Overall, The Saddle Room provided us with a wonderful evening, combining excellent food, a lovely atmosphere, and exceptional service. We look forward to returning and highly recommend it for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion.
