I never had the opportunity to go to the Rusty Rudder, but I heard all the stories and how great the atmosphere was. We decided to give this restaurant a try. I thought the food was lacking a lot of flavor and extremely overpriced for the portion you receive. Our waitress was absent from the table and it's hard to tell who works there because they all dress completely different. The atmosphere is extremely loud and crowded due to the close proximity of the tables. I do not intend to eat here again, and will not recommend this place to anyone until they improve.
