Default Wolfeboro Inn

Thank YOU, George, for really jumping in and returning the Inn to a status is rightfully deserves.

Whatever input you got from Forum members was only a small part of the success - you had to take the bad press and the good press and put together a Plan of recovery. You certainly did this, and we all owe you a strong round of standing applause - Here !, Here !., Thank you.

George,

We can't say we're surprised. It was clear from the time you arrived that you had the right customer service approach to be successful. It was only a matter of time before others noticed and you were ready for more responsibility.

Congrats on the promotion, and we wish you well!

George great news. Having run the poll on restaurants over last 8 years I saw( even before the ballots were stuff) the increase in the favorable opinion of people toward your restaurant

George,
I wish I could clone your knack of PR for my company. Of course we will welcome Darrin Frowery to our fold when he gets his "sea-legs". Glad to hear you will still be watching over this historic site with a personal stake in seeing it continue with the success you have achieved. Congratulations and good luck.

George,

You will be missed. Congratulations on your promotion. If I remember correctly your commute will be much shorter.

Very well said and I second every word.

Default Thank you George

Thank you George!!
And congratulations on your well-deserved promotion. We will miss you!!

As a Wolfeboro resident I am especially appreciative of the great work everyone at the tavern and inn have put into making it such a wonderful place to eat and celebrate (holidays, weddings, the lake). It has been crowded all summer and now that things are quieting down I can go back to the tavern as a regular.

George, you have been a special member of this forum and we hope you keep in touch.

Congratulation, George, on a much deserved promotion. You will be missed. I'm happy to be able to call you a friend. I'm also happy you'll be close to home now and able to spend more time with your family.

Default I'm Concerned

First, congratulations to George on a very well-deserved promotion. He did a great job.

I've been to the Inn twice since George left. Both times, there was no hostess on duty, the waitresses doubled as hostesses and we waited a long time to be greeted.

Both times, our wait staff seemed over busy, and said so.

Hoke's food was great, as usual, but on both occasions at least one order was mixed up or wrong.

One swallow does not a summer make, as they say, but I sure hope this is not a trend.

I truly appreciate all of the well-wishes, and it's becoming more and more evident that George was a loved member of this wonderful community. I've been here just a little over a month and have just fallen in love with the Inn, the Tavern, the area and I've had the pleasure of meeting with some of the locals...some real characters
I know that I would be doing everything that George and our F&B Team have accomplished a HUGE disservice if I did not fight just as hard to keep everything afloat and move it forward to the next level.
With the end of the season approaching we lost some really wonderful members due to school, moving, etc. The funny (fantastic) thing is, we haven't lost momentum with covers the way we have in the past years, so we are ACTIVELY looking to bring on more Tavern associates and hosts/hostesses so that your wait time is minimal.
Again, I appreciate all the well wishes and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
Should you need ANYTHING at all, please call my office at 569-3016 X805.

dfrowery, I just noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

Congrats Darrin on coming to Wolfeboro and taking on your new assignment. You have some tough shoes to fill and the first big chore has already been done and that is to explain the big change over with personnel. Please keep the forum audience up to speed with all the new good adventures as we all loved hearing from Geo and now from you. Myself and family along with many friends have really enjoyed the Inn this past summer and will continue although the winter months to support you.
Best of luck Darrin and your staff
