Sandy Point Restaurant 2017

WJT2 · 08-17-2017, 06:01 PM

As the kids like to say "back in the day". I was very lucky to spend 20+ years around Alton Bay. Sandy Point, Pops, Mals & Sals, Dockside, pizza and a movie at Oak Birch. All were very good and served your appetite very well depending on the craving of the day. I remember Bricky , Siss was in the bar and all was well. At the time Bricky and his family ran everything at the Point. The restaurant was great and a nice amendment to people staying there, they need not travel for all things family and a lounge for mom and dad to escape to. Maybe it's just too difficult to survive on food alone for a 120 day season. Sorry to hear all the negative. It was truly GREAT and maybe will make there again. If any old timers remember these days send your comments and maybe we can help Sandy point back on its feet! came by boat many a night , but shame on me

had to take a cab home

I use to have a place directly across the bay from Sandy Point 35 years ago. I remember all those places and the fun times we had. $50,000 for a camp with 100 ft on the water back then.

I read a post earlier today on FB that states they would be only serving a Pub Style Menu for lunch and regular offerings at Dinner only 5PM (along w/ pub menu) I believe.

I can't remember the street we were on. I do remember that we were on town water and the service was not under ground far enough to keep it on all winter. So we had to bring jugs of water to flush the toilets when we went up to ski. I met my wife up there, married 36 years now.

First ones in... still took an hour for meals to arrive. Steam lobster very good, broiled scallops meh.

Want them to be successful, and will give them another try, but I hope they're learning the ropes. The waiter (was a bartender who was filling in) was obviously trying hard...

We did a pub crawl today and started at Sandy Point before moving on to the establishments at the end of the bay. We did stop on the way back at Sandy Point for one last drink. Had apps the first time, quite good, and just drinks the second time. Bartender was quite good. Like you, I want them to succeed. If they are able to make it back for next year, I hope Chef Tony is able get his staff in line earlier next year, profit from what he has learned this year, and do much better next year.

Against better judgement went with a double digit party. Nostalgic ppl wanted to go, I should have spoken up. Just to speak for myself - mushy undercooked clams. Took forever, half wanted to leave but with no other plan and others not wanting to be rude ended up staying. Nobody left happy, went home and ate leftover lunch BBQ.

Also, please redecorate, it's so dated.....

Shibleys great as always the day before, you should always just go with what you know.

"Redecorate"? I thought everyone wanted to relive their lives of 10-30 years ago by forcing the current operator into running a Sandy Point reincarnation. No wonder no one can make a go with this place. Bet it remains shut next year and there after until the last of the "do you remember" bunch has departed.

I think good food in a good setting is all anyone wants, but maybe I am unique in that thought process.

good food at reasonable prices with good service and most places will do well. This is truly a seasonal play so I am not sure an expensive décor change would help. I use to go only once per year with a large group for baked stuffed . When that option proved to be not viable for us we moved on. I wish the new owner luck and next year they should provide good food and good prices with good service and they will succeed
