This may be a stupid question, but how can Chef Barry be cooking up his masterpieces in two places at once??

Is Chef Barry still at Nolan's? I've been wondering as I have not made it there yet and miss Karen & Barry's

Your not the only one who misses Karen & Barry's.

My wife and I were at Nolan's last Fall (not this Fall) on a quite Sunday Afternoon (4:30- 5:00). We were a little apprehensive as to how things would compare between what we had grown accustom to at K&B and Nolan's.

Barry was "COOKING"! I used to "LOVE HIS" Veal Marcela! The Veal Medallions and the Sauce were better than you could get in the "NORTH END". We were not disappointed. The same Veal Medallions and the same delicious Marcela Sauce! I used ask for a "SPOON" to get every last drop of the Marcela Sauce.

:liplick :

My wife loved K&B's Egg Plant Parm as much as I loved the Veal.

Yesterday (Saturday) we decided to try Nolan's again.I could taste the Veal Marcela all day. We went down early and walked in at 4:30. It was busy but not too crowded.

We both ordered our favorites. As you may have noticed most of what I have said is in the "past tense". We were both very disappointed in the Veal and the Egg Plant.

Veal Marcela

The Marcela Sauce was lacking its' "RICHNESS". NO SPOON NEEDED!

The VEAL was not the thin medallion you could cut with a spoon. In their place was a "VEAL Steak". It was about a quarter inch thickness. It was tender though. But not the Taste my palette was anticipating.

After what is was told by the Hostess I may go back one more time, but it will be between Tuesday or Thursday?

Why? Well BARRY works Monday thru Friday preparing "THINGS" for the week.

Oh, we should have suspected something would go aerie when we got Garlic BALLS instead of the Parisian Bread Sticks we had ordered.

Still, all in all it beat the Italian Farm House by a mile.

hello everyone, its chef jarrod from nolan's brick oven bistro. I know everyone is curious about our plan of attack and menu. I have been working hard the past couple months on a menu that is fresh, fun and locally sourced products. our goal is to bring back some of your old favorites and mix it with our new favorites. The menu will consist of your bake stuffed lobsters, fresh seafood, a couple really nice cuts of steak, slow roasted prime rib and of course our italian dishes, unfortunately we will not be bringing our brick oven pizza. We thank you for your support. stay tuned.

As a longtime Sandy Point resident (since 1959), I'm glad to hear that the restaurant sounds to be in good hands again. Let's hope you can restore the reputation that the Damons worked so hard to establish over the many years they ran the restaurant. We've missed the place and had been avoiding it the past 2-3 years.

glad to hear the baked stuff king will still be on the menu. Looking forward to hearing more as you progress thru the summer

Chefjarrod86 · 02-04-2016, 01:25 AM

hello everyone I just want to put the word out that we are hosting a sushi night every other wednesday night starting at 5:00 pm in our pub side. reservations are highly recommended. The next dates are feb 17, march 2 for our delicious 5 course dinner. I am also getting very excited about our five course wine dinner coming soon, will keep you all posted.

Any chance Nolan's in Alton could speed up the opening date due to early ice-out?!

Have they announced an open date?

The town of Alton doesn't turn the water on for that stretch of Rt 11 until mid-April. Sandy Point then has to open & test their lines after that. In past years the Daemons used to open for weekends starting around Mothers' Day. The motel & cottages open May 1.

Can you go to Sandy Point Restaurant by boat?

Can someone explain this a bit more? there are parts of Alton that only have seasonal water service? Is it just the property on the Point? If someone wants to change to year-round use, do they need to put in their own water service?

Alton Water Works, AKA Alton Town Water. Has lines that run from near the Central Fire Station on Rte 140, down the Letter S road, up to the "uptown area" of Alton then out to the Alton Circle and Hannafords McD, etc. Going the other way down to the bay, it splits by the Dockside Restaurant and goes out 28A to the vicinity of Dan Kelley Dr. . Following rte 11, it goes out rte 11 to about Boat Cove. It does provide water to ABCCC and up Rand Hill Rd to the back side of ABCCC.

With that being said, the water lines going out rte 11 are not buried deeply, with a notable problem with the Back Bay bridge crossing. Most of the houses along that section of rte 11 from the bay to Boat Cove will have wells as well.

If you wanted to connect to Town Water, and were in an area covered by Town Water, it would be prudent to make sure that you are connecting to an area that is available year round. Also, the system is old, close to 100 years. There are about 700 customers, and 55 fire hydrants served.

We were at Nolan's in Wolfeboro on Monday night. We were told that several of the staff members from there will be transferring to Alton, and that the opening will be May 18th.

So, in about 2 weeks.

GBGX2 · 05-05-2016, 07:30 PM

Very impressed with the menu, lots to choose from at all price points!

We love Nolans in Wolfeboro, looking froward to welcoming them to our town.

No, there was no listing of who was going. Just a statement that several of the Wolfeboro staff would be transferring.

Diver Vince · 05-25-2016, 06:15 AM

Has an opening date been announced?

upthesaukee · 05-25-2016, 06:18 AM

A friend whose daughter is training to be a waitress there said there was delay in getting some of the new furniture and that the opening has been pushed back to after Memorial Day.

I have seen several cars in front of the restaurant, so training and perhaps work inside seems to be ongoing. Sign is still advertising that they are looking for line cooks. this may also be adding to the delay.

Probably the same way McDonalds is able to deliver consistent cheeseburgers at multiple locations.
