Food was very good! Service was excellent. It was very cold in the restaurant.

I could have given this wonderful establishment 5 stars except that in many years of extensive travel I have rarely had a "perfect" (5 star experience). The MR's food was outstanding: My wife and I shared a very good, thick lobster bisque "stuffed" w/ many large pieces of claw; I had the seared scallops (huge, tender, tasty sea scallops, perfectly seared, on a bed of parsnip puree with little Brussels Sprouts and crushed bacon -- SUPER!); my wife had a house favorite, the seafood stuffed haddock -- delicious! Our waitress was very efficient and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and homey -- authentic "down east" chic. A local M. D. ("seasoned" citizen like my wife and I) was playing 30's-50's standards & show tunes on a baby grand in the corner. Turns out he sits in and just plays for his own (and our) pleasure. I noted that when we were seated (06:30 P. M. FRI), the almost full dining area's population was almost all folks of our "boomer" generation. When we were leaving (an hour+ later -- we like to take our time at meals) the place had turned and, still almost full, now hosted a younger (20's - 50's) crowd (I suppose 'tis true that older folks like to eat early). Anyway, The MR is great for any generation. The experience was all of what makes Maine so very special: unpretentious charm; genuine warmth and friendliness; seafood done right -- BRAVO Muddy Rudder! We'll be back. Sandra & Bob from CT.

We had lunch there and it was very enjoyable. The service was excellent, the environment was pleasant, the prices were great and the food was excellent.

I love the seafood scampi which is always very delicious service and the help are always very professional I will always come back here thank you

Always excellent service & food ‼️

This is an upscale restaurant with fairly middle of the road pricing. The live music is wonderful and the portions are good sized. Every time we have gone we have had a good meal. Definitely would recommend.

I would have given it less for my entree. I ordered haddock and it was obviously not fresh from the texture and lack of flavor. T had been frozen and thawed. No excuse for this along the coast of Maine. Every fish market has and it is inexpensive. Shame on them! My husband had meat dish and thought quite good, so that is why I did not give 2 stars

We go there a few times a year and enjoy the atmosphere, food and service every time.
