    We arrived early for our reservation. Seated right away. Took 45 min to get two meals. My ahi burger was raw and cold in the middle. Super disappointing, especially for $21. My husbands fish and chips were good but only two pieces of fried fish. This was my husbands favorite restaurant and we drove from south county with a toddler for this. Not sure if it’s the new management but we won’t be back.

    Sat in the patio area. Great area with the beautiful tree right in the middle. Had 2 hamburgers and the ahi burger. All were delicious. Ahi was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was so good. Service was excellent. It's a little noisy, but that really didn't bother us.

    Muldoon’s is consistently great. Reservations are a must. We always request the inside dining room when we go with another couple. The outside patio is very fun, but also very loud, so better suited for a large party and not quiet conversation.
