A nice place to go for a local foods menu. The ambiance was great and the noise level was low so that we could converse without raising our voices. Food was very tasty and well presented. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was absolutely delicious and easily split between the four of us. More...

I really liked this joint. We specifically were looking to eat in one of those classic 'local institution' type of places. This one fits that bill. The restaurant is full of old wood, old school charm and old fashioned (not Victorian, just old fashioned) service and ambiance.We arrived 15 minutes early. The hostess explained that they were very precise about their timing and that our table was not ready. If we waited in the bar she'd summon us. I've heard that excuse before! Ooops, not here. At exactly 1830 she appeared and said our table was ready, and, it was.Our waiter was hoot. We arrived during the equivalent of the silver hair 'early bird special' segment. It turns out that there was a concert and at 1915 they all got up and left for their curtain. Alas, peace, at last. We enjoyed a great meal in a moderately conversation challenged room.My wife had the stuffed quail. It was excellent. The quail was moist and came with an outstanding sauce on top of greens and mashed. I had the black bass sp0ecial on top of arugula and a spicy tomato sauce. This was a bit of a disappointment as the sauce (pretty spicy) overpowered the delicate black bass.The wedge salad started I ordered was great. My wife's starter was the French onion soup which she said was outstanding.I would recommend this place without reservation for a balanced and complete 'overall' experience' of atmosphere, history, food and service.

This place never disappoints! I've been coming here since the 10970s, and while a lot of the menu has changed, of course, it is still one of my favorite places and I make it a point to go whenever I'm in Springfield. It's one of the few places that still serves Beef Wellington, and i am reminded why that dish was so popular "back in the day" and is still great. Very nice service from a server who wasn't born when I start coming there. She was knowledgable about the wine list and the cocktails were impressive. I'll be back as long as they hang in there.

Perfect evening. Great service, food and ambience. Risottos were perfect, lamb chops that were so tender you barely needed a knife, and prime rib that was the best. Definitely the place to dine downtown Springfield. More...

Valentine’s Day date. We had a great time! My steak was just a little overdone. We thought the choice of the tomato sauce under the mashed potatoes was an odd choice. My fiancé’s steak was amazing. The lobster bisque special was DIVINE! Overall we had a great evening. More...

Our entire dining experience at Muldaner’s was very enjoyable. The personal service and attention we received while dining was outstanding! All of the staff were professional, courteous, friendly, and worked hard to make sure we were well taken care of. The menu was varied with complete descriptions and provided something for everyone. The cuisine was phenomenal in both taste and presentation! We also enjoyed learning the history of Muldaner’s and it’ owners. We will spread the word and we will be back. Thank You! More...
