We have a wonderful experience celebrating my grandmas 93 birthday. There were several other large parties and our waiter went out of his way to make sure we knew that, but assure us of our importance and his promptness.

The Saddle Room has a wonderful ambiance. We were greeted at entrance, sat in a really nice booth and enjoyed delicious food. Brie bites were delicious, salmon salad was wonderful and the lamb shank was out-of-this-world! Service was prompt and friendly. Overall 5-star experience. Highly recommend The Saddle Room for a date night or drinks with friends. We did not sit by fireplaces, but will do so at next visit.
