Just because a place gets bad reviews doesn't mean it's bad. Every restaurant is bound to make a mistake or two serving several hundred tables a day (that's a guess, not sure how much). My point is directed at all of the negative reviews, not just Sandy Point. However, as I stated above, I had a good late lunch there last week...and that's coming from someone who doesn't even care for seafood much. Just my $.02
The reviews on this site tend to be a good indicator of quality and service. Yes, there are outliers but by following overall trends a reader can form a good opinion of what to expect. Village Kitchen for example almost always has positive reviews indicating excellent value. Sandy point at the moment seems to be having its problems indicating poor value. Performance can also change; The Wolfeboro Inn had terrible reviews for quite some time and then changes were made by management and the reviews are almost always excellent.
