Bad Experience The Bob House Restaurant/Moultonborough

[SIKSUKR]

I never said she was not blonde KC,I said she was not short.I have already made a statement to you and asked for no hard feelings.I take no responsibility for this incident and will make no excuses for either side.I should not have gotten in the middle of this in the first place cuz this is not my fight.I know the owner and thought it odd that she would respond as you posted.I was not there and should not have even posted.For that,I apologize and ask forgiveness.I'm moving on with a bad taste in my mouth.

Bad taste in your mouth???? Maybe someone mixed some salt in with your sugar.

This thread turned a bit uglier than it needed to, I believe.
My thoughts all along have been that the kids were just being kids...no biggie.
And the owner was probably out of line for shouting at the children (is it ever OK to yell at children other than your own?). And dumping the pepper out??? Well...whatever. Maybe she was just having a tough/busy day.
KC has very right to be upset, and if she wishes, never has to return there.

As an aside...it is also quite funny to loosen the top of a salt or pepper shaker, so the next person gets a platefull. Maybe next time?

i suspect Kevin wouldn't be happy if you did that in his restaurant. do you think?

Looking at all these (friends??) now going back and forth makes me wonder why these posts even need to be placed here. This is a restaurant review board, order a steak and get chicken delivered then that might be a review. 4 years old or 40 the child was wrong and the owner went way over-board with her actions. That's no reason for anyone else to even be aware of this incident or further for any of us to avoid this establishment. S!@# happens and this was unfortunate, yell at your kid and move on.

The forum has seemingly become a place for never ending rants. I agree with DPG. Both parties were wrong here... everyone has put in their two cents. Let's move on

Reviews aren't simply about the food. I know enough now NOT to go to the Bob House as I do not condone the actions of the owner. Customer Service is usually the number one aspect in what sells a product or service. If you can't handle that aspect of the business, then I don't want to deal with you. I thank KC for the information so I do not have to be put in the situation for the future.

What would have happened if one of the adults knocked a glass off the table and it broke? Owner may have preached how the broken glass could potentially jeopardize her business...Just an example of how it goes outside the box. The owner was WELL out of line and I will not support those kind of mentalities.

Once again I see a bashing instead of a review and several readers will not go to this establishment because of that "review".

A "review" by KonaChick could have been different, but it turned personal. Proof by the last sentence of the orignal post, "OK rant over. Thanks as always for letting me vent!". That statement proves this isn't her first venting moment.

People who know the owner say this is out of character for her and yet there is speculation on how she would handle other situations. Again a quote from the original post, "There's no way this is an isolated incident. That woman didn't get up this morning and decide to be out of control, it's something she does on a regular basis. It's second nature to her."

It turned personal and now KonaChick has helped to form a boycott against this establishment. One could say the owner had/has it coming for her part in this fiasco. Maybe she does. I hope none of you have never or will never lose your cool.

I see a different post. Hmmmmm...."When you go out to dinner, no matter where, don't allow your children to mix condiments on the table. The owner could get very mad and yell at you and your kids."

That would have worked.

I've posted before that it's up to the individual whether to go to a restaurant or not based on what other's post. I certainly wouldn't discourage OR encourage anyone to either boycott or go to The Bob House Restaurant for that matter. If you find my post helpful, great , if not that's ok as well. I would post again about my experience in a heartbeat and will continue to post or rant about good and bad experiences I have in restaurants in the Lakes Region. It's the same as posting if you've had a negative experience with a certain contractor , boat yard or any other type of service industry. I agree it's time to put this puppy to bed.
