Garwoods in Wolfeboro

jeffk · 04-17-2016, 09:23 AM

I go to Garwoods once in a while but it is pricey. The view is OK depending where you are sitting. I am fine with Joe Greens as well. It's less expensive and I love being outside overlooking the docks. I usually am doing lunches and Greens is fine for lunch as far as I am concerned.

It used to be that beer and wine were cheaper than mixed drinks. Somewhere along the line the restaurants, en masse, realized that they sold a lot of glasses of beer and wine, that the supply is fairly cheap, and that they could mark up the cost to that of a mixed drink and make a ton of money. $7 for a glass of wine that you can buy for a bottle at $15 is ridiculous. There is no prep cost, just open and pour. I often either skip it at a restaurant or limit to one glass. I drink more wine at home now with dinner. I found a very nice sweet Riesling for $10, about $2 per glass.

Love Garwoods, we feel it's worth the premium.
Don't like Greens at all. One of our new favorites is the Downtown Grille to the right of Greens(if looking at it from the docks).

Well, I'll totally agree on the Downtown Grille recommendation as we've had many great sandwiches there. And, when they make their clam chowder, it's the best I've ever had. Garwoods....too expensive.

We also hit Garwood's on Saturday. It was excellent and we ordered lighter fare so we were out of there for $40 for the couple.
