Restaurant Review - The Saddle Room
Wednesday 08 December 2021
Were the Champagne quaffing couple at a table nearby on a Tinder date, we mused, as their frivolous laughter seemed to dry up by the main course. At another table a well-attired ‘man about town’ type had forgotten what his mammy taught him, gobbling veg direct from their little copper pots with a serving spoon.
Elsewhere, there was oohing and aahing over ‘surprise’ birthday desserts, with one recipient proudly boasting that he was 80, while the other ‘birthday girl’ kept her mouth firmly shut. The hallowed surroundings of five-star hotels are always the stuff of novels, and suffice to say The Saddle Room at The Shelbourne hotel more than fits the bill.
