Restaurant Admiral — Restaurant in Dublin

Very dissapointed 😞 I've been to Admiral twice,first time with friend of mine and yesterday went for a dinner with my boyfriend,he is french ,just wanted to show him my traditional foods,food was as good as always I wish service was as good! We came 2 hours before closing however for entire 2 hours we where kept being told that they are closing so felt like we need to rush! Waiter was young tall guy he looked annoyed serving us,first we asked if we could get table by the window and he said section was closed even though there was other ppl sitting who only received starters, also every table got water and we did not for some reason! When food arrived waiter driped it on our table just like he was annoyed again,to be honest we treated and always treat waiting staff with respect so we don't know why we deserved this kind of service. Maincourses has been brought when i still eat starter, when we wanted to order another glass of wine there was no one to find around only the young waiter who served us,but unfortunately he didn't really paid attention we where calling him,becouse he was too busy using his phone sitting on sofa. Don't keep restaurant open until the 10-11 if your staff doesn't want to serve people just close...

Firstly, I'd only recommend if you were to try the lobster or if you don't mind some overly salty food. The place, staff and atmosphere are nice, however I do have two complaints.

1. The menu was quite deceptive with the Olivje salad for example. It did not mention that the eggs were probably quail eggs rather than chicken eggs which made it look up to three times bigger in the menu. Otherwise, it was rather perfectly prepared. Another dish which was not served as the menu had shown was the mushroom cream soup. Though I might have been unlucky, it could not be served with a bread pot at the time and the staff did not tell me this before I made the order. They did compensate by adding chunks of bread into the soup however.
2. Much of the food was way too salty. Namely, the mushroom cream soup which I could not finish due to its saltiness and the sauce served with cepelinai, but the latter was enjoyable enough.

I had also ordered a strawberry milkshake which isn't anything special but I like that it was subtly sweet compared to the overwhelmingly sweet ones you often get at other...

Today, I’m afraid I CAN't give five stars to one of my favorite restaurants in Dublin, despite the absolutely fantastic seafood soup by the Chef (see photo) and probably the best seafood salad in town (especially in terms of price/quality).

Unfortunately, the service let me down this time. I believe it was a new waitress, but she really needs to improve her English and get to know the menu better, including which dishes contain allergens. Luckily, another guy stepped in and clarified everything. Still, all the dishes were brought out at the same time, without asking whether I’d prefer to have something first as a starter, which made the whole experience feel rushed. On top of that, my tea order was clearly forgotten. When I asked to cancel it (just in case), no water or any alternative drink was offered, and the waiter left so quickly I didn’t even get the chance to ask.

Also, while I understand it’s not the main focus of this restaurant’s menu, I would love to see more gluten-free options available.

That said, I still plan to return and hope I’ll have a better...
