When it comes to the dining experience at The Shelbourne, Autograph Collection, guest reviews are mixed. While some rave about the quality of the food, giving it a 10 out of 10 rating and describing it as amazing, others were less impressed. Some found the menu in the restaurant to be overpriced with some even saying it was nothing to write home about. Guests also noted that the restaurant and other rooms were often booked out due to conventions, meaning that they had to have lunch and dinner in the same bar or restaurant. Unfortunately, some guests were disappointed with the quality of the food in the bar with one describing the seafood platter as having prawns and mussels that were not fresh. On top of that, the bar menu was described as limited and dull. In terms of service, guests were disappointed across the board with poor experiences at the reception, bar and restaurant. To top it off, one guest even had a negative experience with the wine waiter at dinner, who called out champagnes and pricings without discretion. All in all, it seems that while The Shelbourne might have a certain level of prestigious reputation, the dining experience may not always live up to expectations.
