I am a frequent diner and have always enjoyed my meals, however, yesterday was different. I ordered a cobb chopped salad and it was terrible. The iceberg lettuce was not fresh and wilted, and the cheese and turkey were just cut up pieces of packaged food, and not tasty. I would have complained to the waitress but I was doing an interview and didn't want to create an uncomfortable situation.

Fun bar area and food was delicious! Bartenders were friendly and made a perfect Manhatten. Husband said the 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 fish and chips was the best he’s had with great shrimp. I had the Irish stew, which was yummy with tender chunks of steak. We’d love to return next time we’re in the area.

Ordered burger twice medium-rare and came twice well done. They took off the bill and gave us three complimentary desserts. Very apologetic, but Zicwent home with no dinner. Wish they forgot the desserts and hired a cook who knew what he was doing.

Great ambiance and cool place! It’s super loud though, so know that going in. Food was ok (they should really mention adding mushrooms all up in a baked potato!). My husband got the fish and chips, which was good. Prices are ok. Overall enjoyable, but for the love of god they should warn people about the mushrooms and peas in their baked potato!

Always enjoy Muldoon’s-easy, casual, consistent. Moderate in pricing, quality is good. If you’re super picky or are expecting “fine dining” then you’d be disappointed however, if you want decent eats not just “bar food” this is the place to be. Fish n chips always good as is Irish stew.

Muldoon's is a well established Newport restaurant in Fashion Island. It has a nice atmosphere but I was not impressed with the food, which is kind of the most important thing when you go to a restaurant.

Every aspect of dining at the fabulous Muldoon's Pub is over the top - the warmth of their environment; their servers and representatives; the quality and variety of their food. The overall authenticity of the architecture and décor reflects the Irish spirit. The fireplace adds the warmth that is so enjoyable.

Worst experience at Muldoons ever. Wed were sat at booth and I had to go searching for a waiter after 15 minutes. Sign said that Prime Rib was the special starting at 5pm, but our waiter said it wouldn't be ready until 5:30 and we ended up not getting it until almost 6pm. The Prime Rib was tough and very chewy. Certainly not worth $45. And the door to the back was open and someone was smoking a cigar and the odor filled the restaurant. Cocktails were good, as were the crabcakes, but the dinner overall was underwhelming to say the least. I have eaten at Muldoons many times and enjoyed it, but this time it was poor.
