Rudders Seafood Restaurant & Brew Pub

Problem #1. This restaurant has to be the most inefficient managed restaurant in Maine. We waited 45 minutes for a table when 1/3 of the tables were vacant. Tables were not bussed and it appeared no one was communicating to the hostess about the vacant tables. Problem #2.

Great atmosphere – good selection of locally brewed beers as well as standard domestic and imported. Food was decent pub-style food - nothing out of the ordinary.

This was our first time to Rudder's and had soup, salad and sandwiches. It all was excellent - tasty, fresh and presented well! The staff was particularly friendly and helpful. We'll be returning when we're in that area.

We enjoyed the lobster and haddock. Server (Cliff) was friendly and efficient but we had a bit of a wait for our food. Enjoyed the Jost wine from Nova Scotia ( Four Skins)
