As always it was fantastic. I go twice a year as a treat and I would forego other nights out to pay for this - it’s so worth it. Service is flawless - friendly and welcoming. Food is well thought out, tasty and flavourful with one course better than the last. My favourite place to eat in Dublin.

Delightful menu showcasing great ingredients. We always enjoy dining at The Saddle Room. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The wine list by the glass is well chosen. The portions are well judged so that we feel full but not stuffed. We especially enjoyed the lamb on this occasion.
