Which also means don't expect to see more than a 3 piece acoustic band here they just don't have the room. It's also a bit expensive, but it seems lots of bars are here. You could buy yourself a 12 pack for the price of a couple domestic beers. I'd probably rather visit a local brewery with a great patio than come here to hang out. It just "feels" cheap and I think it should be cheaper because of that..

We made a birthday reservation for a busy Friday night with no problem. we had been to the…read morerestaurant numerous times over the past couple decades and always had a good experience. However, this time the service and the food quality stood out tremendously! Our host greeted us very promptly and brought us to our beautiful table that was adorned with a candelabra with at least five real candles a lit. We were immediately offered some complementary house champagne, which was nice. The menu was extensive on offering very fine foods. However, my wife pointed out for somebody who's a little bit pickier of an eater noticed there was no pasta offerings and only one chicken entrée which was not a problem and ended up being fantastic but a couple more options for picky eaters of non-steak varieties and fish varieties might not hurt. I always frequent this restaurant for the freshest oysters offered probably in the whole state of Missouri, and they never disappoint. Last night they had at least five varieties, including Blue points, petites, birthday girl, and other varieties from both the West Coast and the East Coast. I ordered two of everything and it was very fun to experiment with the differences of the oysters from both coasts, and I ended up becoming a big fan of east Coast Bluepoint oysters. However, they were all extremely fantastic and very fresh. The oyster shucker was extremely talented and preserved the liquid within the shells perfectly. I was unable to find one shelf fragment in any of my oysters, which is unbelievable. As my main course, I ordered nothing but appetizers because they all look fantastic. I ordered the steak tartare and the escargot and both were unbelievably good. The rest of my five table mates ordered their meals, ranging from fish to filet mignon, and they all raved about their food and finished their complete plates. I remember the food quality being good at this location in years past, but this time it really stood out and we now regard this as the best restaurant in Springfield, hands-down. The server Lily was extremely attentive and often had other servers assist with plate arrivals and clearing of the table very promptly. Lillie was probably one of the best servers. I've had a very long time. Don't skip out on dessert as the chocolate torte and the crème brûlée s'mores were both very fantastic offerings. I later met with the manager, Justin to complement his exceptional staff and food quality and let him know that we will be returning very very soon and more frequently in the future. Char Steakhouse by far exceeded my past expectations and is my pick for the best restaurant in Springfield. You won't be disappointed if you try it.

After frequent visits to this bar, it feels like the staff doesn't want you there, ranging from…read morebeing cold and unfriendly to just outright ignoring you. The first couple of visits were decent, but the service eventually went plummeting downhill. The ambiance and food is good, and it seems like a very calm space, but it is overall not worth feeling unwelcome and out-of-place. There is a reason why typical nights at another laid-back, 21+ bar (Flea, Grad School, etc.) is packed with people, while Mudlounge is usually at medium capacity at best. The consistent amount of different events at Mudlounge may be a sign that the business may need these events to get people to come to the bar. Maybe Mudlounge would not need so many events if the environment and staff weren't so inhospitable. The only reason why I would choose to come to Mudlounge over another bar is the availability of food, but after my last visit I would rather just eat at a place like Picklemans or Greek Belly (restaraunts that are right next door) before going out to a bar. It seems that many negative reviews of this business echo my same sentiments, showing that this is a consistent issue patrons experience and not just a negative one off. It is unfortunate that a prime downtown spot is being taken up by a bar that lacks the typical Missouri charm and hospitality seen in other businesses.

I will say the last couple times I've been I haven't been as impressed with the food. All of the crepes that I've had, savory and sweet are delicious.

Our server was very good and attentive. It's worth a try if you've never had it and you're in the area.

This Brown Derby is the vintage 18 year old cask whereas the others are just nice blends. Here you will find everything in the other shops but just so much more.

We went in for a bottle of wine. Four hundred dollars later ... you get my drift.

Ordered a couple of drinks and some starters. We ordered calamaretis fritos (fried calamari) and empanadas. The calamari was ok, but was made with beer batter so they puffed up 10x the size of normal calamari. The taste was fine but not what I expected. The empanadas tasted like they were cooked in months old grease. I had a couple of bites to confirm what I tasted. After my wife complained about the taste I tried hers and couldn't swallow it due to the rancid taste. Never saw the manager, and frankly just wanted to leave. Save yourself some money and a belly ache by avoiding this place.
