Thumbs up The "Forgotten" Restaurant...

Add closed on Mondays.

Confusing is the "Closed" sign, which is clearly shown during normal working hours to discourage travelers who seek lunch outside of normal lunch hours. Lunches are being served this season.

It's a sprawling converted residence, so it's possible to drive by this gem every day without noticing it. This year, there's a huge American flag hanging about 600-feet north of the restaurant's location (sticking out from dark woods ).

This is located south of Wolfeboro, not far from where the Weston Auto Body Shop sign greets every Wolfeboro visitor.

Of the three $20 entrées, all four of us picked the chicken "rolled in macadamia nuts" with some cumin seasoning added.

The meal was pronounced excellent by each of us: as to quantity, each took some home! The salads included one vinaigrette dressing, ginger, plus a choice of two other dressings whose rarefied descriptions I missed.

Our BYOB was white wine: the staff brought wine glasses and offered an opener. The table is "yours" for the entire evening, so it's an especially relaxing dinner—never rushed. We gabbed overlong at our table, but were never abandoned by the attentive staff.

This is one of the quieter restaurants around: oriental music is played softly in the background. I recognized Native-Hawaiian music as we walked in—Hawaii is "east" of Suez.

As we were the same table-partners as last year's visit, we even relished the recollection of the memorable entrées we ordered from last year—that adds up to eight thumbs-up—twice!

We go to East of Suez too seldom!
