Alas I've heard the same bad news via word of mouth. As was said above, they need to get their act in gear pronto or it'll be too late. First rule for getting out of a hole is to stop digging. Guess we'll stick to 51 Mill St for dinner, Garwoods for lunch until we start hearing some good reviews.

It's a tough business, hope they make it. But I think people should at least give them the same amount of time others have given their fav places when negative reviews come in. In many I've read, the ones complaining were told to buzz off. Restaurants come and go all the time. Extend them the same courtesy that the LP and others have been given.

I agree especially if talking about a "mom & pop" or individual enterprise, but this outfit is a corporation that purchases hotel properties as investments and then "upscales" them. They "should" have the background to avoid the opening month glitches we are seeing. Other hotels they have renovated include The Exeter Inn (Exeter), The Centennial Hotel (Concord), The Landmark Inn (Virginia), The Orchards Hotel (MA).

Good point. However, I heard that their chef just up and walked out on them. That would explain so many problems in the kitchen.

No doubt that event would kick in Plan "B", but if the "front of the house" had the required skills this wouldn't effect customers' experience (except, maybe, the first couple of hours if the chef walked out in the middle of dinner).

Took the boat down to Wolfeboro Center for a late lunch. Decided to check out the newly renovated Wolfeboro Inn. My wife, 4 year old daughter and I sat for lunch. Ordered promptly (since a 4 year old can sometimes be unruly in a restaurant) and waited, and waited, and waitied, and waited...took my daughter outside for a walk as she was getting really "wiggly", walked down to the beach...looked at the birds... as I was walking back in my wife was walking out...she'd had it. from the time we ordered, it was about 45 minutes. My wife said they didn't even notice her leaving.

Went to the place above docks (Dockside??). In and out in 35 minutes.

Thank you all for these posts. We were thinking of trying it but will now hold off until we hear some good reviews. I sometimes have a short fuse and this doesn't sound like a good place for me right now.

Five of us went to the Wolfboro Inn last night. All I can say about it is: service sucks!!

Egads! A corporation you say? How dreadful. I'm sure they are having some problems. But after reading restaurant reviews here for quite awhile, this one is hilarious.

Woops, another new poster said they stink as well. One post mind you, but they cared enough to share.

My wife and I went to enjoy a meal even though we both have read the reviews here, but thought we had to try it. While walking in from the parking lot. 2 couples were coming out and stopped us and asked if we were going in for dinner. We said yes that we thought we would give it a try and they both said that they had been sitting and standing for over an hour and no one even noticed them and when they did and got seated they sat for over 1/2 hour before ANYONE came to their table. They placed their orders and after doing so, twice the waitress came back and said to 2 of them that the particular item they had ordered was not available. A few minutes later they were talking to us less having their meals. My wife and I looked at each other and said lets go elsewhere which we did.

I feel really bad for the folks who have booked Spring weddings if this is the same treatment they are getting.
