Honestly, if you’re seeing dirty glasses, screw ups with orders, etc. it probably carries over to similar issues in the kitchen & management. I’ll wait a while to see how things shake out.

Default Wicked Loon bait and switch

Sad story, and just think, the same person who owns Wicked Loon also owns LocalTopia and Downtown Grille. Apparently, he is not doing Wolfeboro any favors running a bait and switch scam. There are other places to eat in this town.

Doesn't this same guy own the entire building as well as the businesses?

I am not defending the WL and I have no affiliation with them but...

It is possible that someone was told to remove the sign and simply forgot to do so. Of course, once the conflict became known the correct thing to do was to honor the offer and get the sign down immediately.

My point is that it is reasonable to assume innocence rather than bad intent.

When I owned my business things would happen such as an HVAC failure.

I would expend a lot of effort to remedy the problem asap. Sometimes it would be at great expense for expedited service or over nighted parts. That was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, I would sometimes hear customers complaining saying "That cheap &@#% won't pay to keep us cool".

If I owned the restaurant I would have honored the advertised special and taken the sign down ASAP. Basic business. A kid in the neighborhood applied for a job there and was given the run around. I’m not impressed and won’t be stopping in anytime soon.
