Sandy Point Restaurant 2017

BigBob · 07-17-2017, 08:53 AM

Went there July 16. Only 3 boat slips available. They had the staff, friendly, very attentive. Apps were very good and priced fair. We were hoping the double and triple boiled or baked were still on the menu. At just under $100 we opted for fried food. Just ok. Main dining area was closed due to lack of diners. And no more chocolate mints on way out. Guess we will try Weathervane at Weirs.

Great post by Chef Tony, People have to stop talking about what they got there 5,10 or 30 years ago, It's not the same restaurant. Maybe they have to change the name. Go there expecting it to be someplace you've never been before, and If you hate it don't go back, You just mike like it.

Bingo.

A simple name change and they'll start with a clean slate.

Keeping the name "Sandy Point" carries decades of diner's memories along with it, which makes for heavy lifting indeed.

I wish that was true.... but alas it is not. As long as the building is there the attached biases will exist.

I understand the lobster prices seem high but once the wholesale prices come down so will the menu prices.

Yes, but for a cool $100 they didn't want to take the chance on them...
