Wolfeboro Inn.."The Laker" Food article

upthesaukee · 12-23-2013, 03:37 PM

My sister in law, my wife, and I went to the Inn for lunch today. Wife had the Rattlesnake Island sandwich (sliced roast turkey), sister in law had the fried shrimp sandwich served on a Chulah (sp?) bun (similar to a hamburger bun...very good) and I had the NH Artisan Chorico sandwich, served on the same bun.

Wife loved her sandwich. Sister in law said the fried shrimp sandwich was very good, but seemed to be a little spicy, but for her, not too spicy. Two thumbs up so far.

I had the Chorico sandwich, which has a Chorico (or Chorizo) sausage split and grilled, nicely spicy but not overpowering. Also had a Greek aeoli, arugula, and an over easy egg over the top of everything. It was very good, very flavorful. Big downfall to it is that it is really messy. If I got it again, and I would, I would treat it as an open-face sandwich. It is almost too messy to pick up and eat. Not a disappointment, but perhaps a suggestion. (I did cut mine in half, cutting the yolk, which really helped to make it messy

).

The three of us enjoyed our meal, and are looking forward to going back again. Very good service...thanks Brittany.

It sounds like they have come a long way in the past year or two. I think I will give the Inn another try in 2014.

Thank you so much for coming in and for the great review of the food. I can tell you that the culinary team here at The Tavern work awfully hard putting together their menus so that everyone who comes in has a wonderful experience.
Hoke, our Executive Chef, and Alijah, our Executive Sous Chef have put together a team that truly cares about food, who aren't afraid to experiment and who take the opinions of their food quite seriously. Our Tavern staff "gets it" and love serving all of their guests. I'll personally thank Brit when I see her next!
To All...Merry Christmas!! We look forward to serving you in 2014!!

Darrin & the entire Wolfeboro Inn Team.

Went to the Wolfeboro Inn the other night for dinner. The four of us enjoyed our meals: the hamburger, baked haddock, sirloin tips and the ravioli. Service was excellent. Food was very good and staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely return.

I brought my family in today for the first time in a long while. The food was very good and the service was excellent. Darrin was in the dining room and to say he he is a positive force is an understatement. It is obvious he cares about the customer. What a turnaround from the dark days of a couple years ago. I was impressed and will be back.

dfrowery · 12-31-2013, 05:07 PM

Thank you for the kind words...truly unnecessary. Our entire team cares a great deal about every guest who is good enough to walk into The Tavern. It is our pleasure to take care of you and your family...EVERY TIME. Thank you All so much for allowing us to do so.
From the entire team...Happy New Year...looking forward to seeing Everyone in 2014!!!

We had New Year's Day brunch at the Tavern and it was absolutely delicious. Chef Hoke was slicing up the incredibly tender prime rib and I had a chance to talk to him about upcoming changes. He says many ideas in the works about what a 2014 tavern menu should be and the salad bar will probably be replaced with something else. No free chef's tables planned, but they will probably be reaching out to forum members for opinions and ideas of what we might like to see on the menu.

Also note that if you join the General's Club (for free) they are going to be offering new benefits. I just received my second $50 Gift Card for my patronage.

The inn and tavern are very cozy this time of year with fireplaces going and sports on the TVs at the bar.

We are new to the area and this site. My wife and I went to the tavern for the first time last Saturday night. The bar side was full so we sat in a booth in the dining room. I had the Short Rib Shepard's pie and it was excellent. My wife really enjoyed her mussel and scallop meal. Found the prices very reasonable and will certainly return with the kids.

Closetzguy, 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.

Thanks for joining and giving your input to the Inn. It has improved 1000% of the past 18 or so months and one can see that when reading all the threads that have been posted under several different topic names.

dfrowery · 01-08-2014, 12:22 PM

So glad you enjoyed your meal with us on New Year's Day. I am going to start a new topic in order to get everyone's opinion on what they'd like to see on our menu for 2014. Also, any ideas to replace the salad bar would be great.
Hoke, Alijah, Myself and the entire team here really value your opinion and hope that you will take the time to lend any ideas that will enhance your experience while dining at the Wolfe's Tavern.

Thanks, and hope to hear from you.

Darrin and the entire Wolfeboro Inn Team.
