The Swallows in Dublin

10/05/2026: The kimchi arancini were good (even though they're more like supplì). The ramen and gyoza were nothing special. The service was quick but very inattentive: we had to ask for glasses, we had to get our own napkins that hadn't been provided, and after receiving our plates, we didn't see a waiter for an hour, until they came to bring us a bill we hadn't yet asked for, because we wanted dessert. We received dessert along with the updated bill and an invitation to pay upstairs. It was clear they wanted to close the downstairs dining area early (it was 9:30 PM), but it would have been nice to explain this and offer to move us upstairs for dessert; we would have gladly accepted. And if someone had come to check on us a little earlier, we wouldn't have waited so long to ask for dessert. Overall, a disappointing experience.

09/05/2026: Great food and dessert. Crispy fried bits and flavorful broth and sauces. Wow. Every bite was deliciously crafted and worth the price.
