Wolfeboro Inn Food Tasting

[George Soderberg]

Winni forum/Wolfeboro Inn users:

I have unexpectedly (to our delight) received 3 requests to be "tasters" for upcoming menu items. Given that kind of positive response, I am inviting an intimate number of 10 invitations for anyone who would like to participate. Therefore, currently 7 spots still available.

We will likely hold "the event" the last week of January/first week of February. With such a diverse group getting a date you can all make it may be challenging. It is my intention to announce 3 potential dates. The date that allows for the most attendees will be the winner.

If you are interested in participating, please reply to my email address listed above. We look forward to a nice evening.

SOLD OUT:...?? I thought this "Tasting" was FREE......I thought All WE (Tasters) had to do... was say nice things about the INN on Winni.com. to get the Free Stuff... I guess I'm confused again. I hate being over 70... NB

I has lunch today at the Wolfeboro Inn. We were seated immediately by the friendly hostess. our server was great, very efficient and attentive. My friend and I both had salads. Had the spinach salad with steak tips, huge and delicious. Things really seem to have come together there. I am so happy, both for the management and for all of us in Wolfeboro who have wanted nothing but success for the Inn.

Was this the menu tasting event?

What else besides duck was on the menu...we are all waiting to hear what the new choices will be.

It has been several years since I last visited the Wolfeboro Inn for dinner. At that time the food was mediocre at best and the service less than average. Since there were many other places to spend my "dining out dollars", I have not been back.

Friday night I was one of the lucky "tasters" at the Wolfeboro Inn. It was one of the most interesting dining experiences I have ever had. We sat around a large table (away from the regular diners) and sampled selections from the current menu and dishes being considered for the menu. If what we were served is an indication of the overall menu, the Wolfeboro Inn is worth trying again. I could go all "foodie" describing it all but I'll just say that everything I tasted was a treat for the taste buds. I can not pick a favorite . . . except maybe dessert (fabulous!).

But what really impressed me the most was the enthusiasm of our host and the staff. They seemed very excited about what they were doing. They wanted feedback . . . good and bad. They want this venture to succeed and are geared up to make it the best. With that kind of enthusiasm at the upper levels, it should inspire the rest of the staff to put forth their best efforts as well. Sounds like a winning recipe to me!

Thank you, George, for the chance to change my mind about the Wolfeboro Inn. I will be back, with a bunch of friends!

My husband and I were also fortunate enough to attend the food tasting at the Wolfeboro Inn. George Soderberg not only greeted us, but he was also the quintessential host. The chefs were equally enjoyable. We tasted so many delightful luncheon and dinner menu items as well as numerous scrumptious desserts. Some of our favorites were the cuban pulled pork panini; the asparagus fries;the eggplant crostini;the bear island blue burger;the roasted pear,bacon and goat cheese salad;and the short rib shepherd pie. The entire event was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be going the the Inn for lunch and dinner. I certainly hope you will give the restaurant a try. You will be glad you did. You might want to try it on Valentine's Day. The upcoming menu was read to us and everything sounded yummy.

I agree with the previous comments about the "tasting" event at the Wolfeboro Inn/Wolfe's Tavern last evening. George Soderberg is a true professional (as well as a real gentleman), who wants very much to correct the previous shortcomings at the Inn, which he fully acknowledged, and do whatever he can to provide an appealing menu and excellent service to the Inn's patrons.

The table for the 10 of us who participated was right in the kitchen, which gave us the opportunity to meet and converse directly with the head chef about the dishes he served to us. George spent the entire time with us as the sample dishes were presented and fully described. He sincerely wanted our honest comments, both pro and con, about each dish, as did the head chef. Actually, there were many "pros" and very few "cons".

My favorite dishes were the "Short Rib Shepherd Pie" and the "Pan Bronzed Duck Breast". Both were delicious, although the "Turkey Panini" and "Cuban Pulled Pork Panini" samples, which are proposed luncheon menu items, were also excellent. (Actually, every sample we tasted was excellent!)

I would recommend that anyone who may have been less than enthusiastic about a previous meal at the Inn to give it another try. I can tell you that QL and I will be back!
