muldoon's - lunch

If you're going to eat a Muldoon's, dinner is the time for it. The atmosphere was far too lax at my lunch. Granted, there's no reason for the staff not to be comfortable, in fact I'd rather that than pretentiousness (which would be comical to see at a pub). But, even at lunchtime, the staff is there to do business in the end. I ordered their fish and chips, which, though I've eaten at Muldoon's before, I've never tried. The fish was fried far too deeply, resulting in a bland fillet wrapped in a tough crust that at least doubled its weight (think chicken fingers). The chips, on the other hand, lacked a decent amount of crispiness. The point of the fish and chips is that the fish, while fried, is left tender and flavorful, contrasting with perfectly crispy (but not tough) chips. Muldoon's does not pull this off in the slightest. If you do want to eat here, go for dinner, where the atmosphere is far more enjoyable, and steer away from the fish and chips.
