Lobster Pound

[Den65]

Anyone know why the L.P is closed. The sign has been up for a while?

[WaterBoyzGal]

I also found their web site wb-lp.com is not working either

[wifi]

Well, their phone answers with an answering machine after a few rings, so they still have phone and power

[dragonfly03246]

They are closed for renovations and upgrading for 3 weeks.

Thanks They should put that on their sign. I thought we had lost another restaurant. The stress on my waistline would have been to much.....

[Woodsy]

It should be interesting to see how it all plays out.... don't expect them to be re-opening much before Dec 1st....

[WaterBoyzGal]

They appear to use Open Table reservations. When you search for reservation, it gives next available as Wednesday, Dec. 3rd.

How many times have you seen a restaurant "closed for renovations" never to open again?

[livenh]

Does anyone know what is going on with the Lobster Pound? The sign said "closed" and now says "just wait"...............hmmm.............

[sluggo]

The Lobster pound is changing over to an Italian Restaurant . From what I have been told ownership is staying the same and a name change hasn't been decided on yet. They're supposed to re-open around Christmas or sooner....

No lobsters, no peace!

Well, they haven't registered a new trade name yet so we'll have to keep waiting to see what they come up with.

No lobsters, know peace.

They never had lobster half the time anyway. They always said we're sold out.

[BroadHopper]

Oh Boy, just what the area need another Italian Restaurant!

What I like to see is a Greek or Mediterranean style restaurant. Unless there is one in the area already.

The Blue Bistro is close but not year round.

[Irish mist]

It's the path of least resistance for them....easy & quick.

[Winnisquamguy]

If the town stops screwing around with the new owners of the former Pasta Patio in Belmont there will be yet another Italian Restaurant to choose from.

For whatever the reason for the renovation they certainly did a good job on the first one and I for one am excited to see what they do now. It is a shame when we lose a good business in the area and I only hope we didn't lose this one.

[Bumble2249]

We didn't. Don't worry..

Awwwww .... now that's just an awful tease !

[jrc]

What kind of change is this?

Same owners, same staff, new décor, new menu?

In the past I found the LP to be a very popular, if cliquey bar with a mediocre restaurant. And poor entrance design forcing patrons to run a smoker gauntlet.

[belly_button_biter]

How will the changes affect Lobster Pound gift certificates?

Drove by the Lobster Pound/Faro Italian Grille this past weekend. New big sign is up, where the old LP sign was next to the street. Still a big dumpster at the front door, however, lumber all around.

As we drove by, we wondered if they will remodel the lighthouse tower into a Leaning Tower of Pisa??

[Greene's Basin Girl]

Why is that even slightly amusing? Faro is Italian for lighthouse! Really???

When I see a lighthouse on a New England restaurant I think seafood. I understand they probably had to incorporate the existing building design to the new theme. Faro makes sense if you already have a lighthouse.

Meredith Man. Eventually everything on that corner ends up leaning. Be patient and you'll get your Pisa!

Hopefully they do well.

I remember The Prince Restaurant in Saugus Mass had that design. Route 1 had great restaurant designs. The Ship, Hilltop Steakhouse, Kowloon and the Orange T-Rex at the miniature golf place.
There was a big fruit store too. The Golden Banana. At least that's what my parents told me it was.

Please excuse my ignorance of the Italian language. Nonetheless, when you drive by the building, the lighthouse tower screams, "I'm a seafood restaurant in here".

I still think my post is pretty darn funny....

Quite honestly BroadHopper .... since Abondante's in Merideth closed followed by the one over by the Belknap Mall (now Mexican) .... I can't think of a single other "good" Italian restaurant other than Fratello's.

enlighten me to where they all are ...... We love good/ authentic Italian food

[belly_button_biter]

I thought the Lobster Pound's previous menu included some fairly tasty Italian. I'm looking forward to the new restaurant. But I am still curious about gift certificates

[Janet]

Really miss Abondante's

[LakeSnake]

Try Noland's in Wolfeboro

[BroadHopper]

There is Rossi's on 104 in New Hampton. Although not an Italian restaurant, they do have great Italian dishes South Main St Pizza in Laconia.

I guess your right, all the restaurants that came to mind are now close. O's, CJ Avery's and T-Bones do have good Italian choices.

The only real 'authentic' IItalian restaurant north of Boston that I enjoy is the 'Picolo Italia', downtown ManchVegas.

I've never been, but people here have spoken highly of Rossi's on route 104. Coincidentally, they have an ad on the same page of that flyer posted above as the new Faro restaurant.

Doesn't Lago claim to be an Italian restaurant?

We wouldn't go back there again. Awful from start to finish.

You got that right! I couldn't agree more. I am originally from East Boston and John Paolini, the owner/chef of Piccola's is a life long friend of mine.
He started out as a kid learning his craft at Jeveli's Restaurant in East Boston and then was a cook at Joe Tecce's restaurant in the North End. There he met another great chef, Annibale Todesca. When Annibale left Tecce's to open the Colloseum Restaurant in Salem, NH he took John with him and John was his head Chef there until John went on his own and opened Piccola Italia.

If you ever have a chance check out his restaurant.

Lago and Giussepes don't come close to Frattelos so in my opinion there is only one italian restaurant currently. One of which could be much better.

So I'm looking forward to some good authentic Italian dining.

I agree with the comments about Rossi's. We have been going there at least once a week since we discovered it two years ago. Authentic Italian food made by the owner, Margo. They now have sea food too, so it's the best of both worlds.

[MeredithMan]

Agree with previous comments about Rossi's. For us, it had been one of those places you drive by for years, but never stop in. We finally did earlier this year and we are so glad we did. Food is great; portions are more than adequate; and prices are very reasonable, (dare I say, inexpensive....$5 for a glass of wine... ).

It is certainly not "fine dining", but if you want great Italian food at a low price it definitely fits the bill.

My wife and I have been going to Rossi’s in New Hampton for over 10 years. We feel they serve the best Italian food in the lakes area. As MeredithMan pointed out, it certainly isn’t fine dining and the rustic atmosphere could use some updating but they serve good authentic Italian food. Margot and her family has owned and run the restaurant for over 25 years. Service is great and now they also have seafood on their menu.

You convinced me when I read a glass of wine for $5 !

From the Open Table description...

Celebrating more than 35 years, the Faro Italian Grille has stood as a cornerstone of Weirs Beach, NH on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee.
Our menu offers a great selection of seafood, steaks and chicken; heart healthy items, A Taste of Italy specialties, and always one or more specials.
It’s easy to see why the Faro Italian Grille, just yards from Weirs Beach on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee, is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Our guests are welcome to stroll our indoor and outdoor decks overlooking the boardwalk and sands of Weirs Beach, or if you prefer, relax in our well stocked lounge with an extensive wine list and big screen televisions to watch your favorite sporting events.
Supporting and servicing Bikeweek, vendors and thousands of visitors each June, you too can enjoy the food, entertainment, and hospitality that the Faro Italian Grille has to offer.


It is hard to be a favorite when you have not opened yet (they certainly have not been open for 35 years).

[john60ri]

Our favorite when we're up there is Fratello's. We'll be sure to try Rossi's next time. We went to the Italian Farmhouse in Plymouth years ago. Is it still open?

[Phantom]

Thanks for sharing .... I'm a member of Open Table and never thought to look there until they were open


First reaction:
Beyond the Marketing hype (which I can live with)..... I sure hope the menu changes ..... this is rather disappointing!

No Italian soups ... Ministrone, Wedding, sausage
No Veal dishes ... picatta, Marsala, Saltimboca

Do I have anyone hungry yet?

Also -- why are there chicken dishes included under the PASTA section .... and no Bolognese ?


Unfortunately & sadly (it looks like to me) this will be nothing more than a cross breed of Giuseppe's & the old Lobster Pound ....... don't want to bash a place before it's even open, but this is underwhelming.





.

[BroadHopper]

is still open, but not a favorite. You can get the same Italian dishes at any of the Common Man restaurants.

[SIKSUKR]

Interesting that on their menu they have catagories of Lobster Pound sandwiches and Lobster Pound pizza.Is this place still half Lobster Pound?Kind of weird named catagories for Italian food.

[KarenM]

first my disclaimer.....I will be working at Faro Italian Grille.

The menu has not been updated on Open Table yet. I had the pleasure of sampling most of the menu items yesterday, and the dishes are wonderful.

Only fresh pasta is used, and dishes include Papardelle alla Bolognese, Spaghetti also Scoglio, and Ziti ala Buonguataia. The Bistenna Di Manzo alla Florentini is prepared with a 16 oz Certified Angus sirloin and is outstanding. The menu includes chicken, pork, lamb and seafood dishes, salads, soup and appetizers.

Faro Italian Grille will open Sunday at 4:00pm. If any of the forum members drop in, please say hello!

Rusty, there is always a bit of suspicion when posts are made in the restaurant forum. I wanted everyone to know that I am affiliated with Faro Italian Grille so they wouldn't wonder about the origin of the information in my post. :-)

Is it just me or is that a huge stretch of the truth? As "Faro Italian Grille", they're not even open yet. As the "Weirs Beach Lobster Pound", they've only been open since 2007 or 2008 (by the current owners). The original registration of "The Weirs Beach Lobster Pound and Barbeque Pit" dates back to 1980 (original owners unknown). In 1990, the name changed to "Weirs Beach Lobster Pound", owned by Weirs Beach Family Restaurant, Inc. I don't understand how the current owners can claim "Celebrating more than 35 years..." when they have only operated there for 7 years.

Good timing; they just completed the registration of the new name effective yesterday.

YARDS?!? When I read "just yards", I'm not thinking of 50 yards! And, I'm sorry but I don't believe they "overlook" the "boardwalk and sands of Weirs Beach". True, they are uphill from the beach but they're still 50 yds away. You'd need binoculars to identify a person on the beach.

Go ahead, call it nitpicking but I prefer to think of it as truth in advertising.

The way you worded it is that you wanted us to know that you aren't working for the Lobster Pound.

Disclaimer means a statement that denies something. You sated that you deny working for them.

"first my disclaimer.....I will be working at Faro Italian Grille."

At least that's how I understand the above statement.

[Happy Gourmand]

Maybe she should have said claimer instead of disclaimer?
Either way, it seems a bit disingenuous to be bashing the place before before it even opens and they have a chance to work out the inevitable kinks, and I can just about guarantee there will be some....and I will guarantee they will be flamed for it here. After all, it IS the Lobster Pound, right?
I wish them well. It's a tough business, and it's a tough time of year to be opening in an area that mostly caters to and depends on summertime traffic.

[KarenM]

No Phantom, it must be a different Karen.

Rusty, sorry For the confusion! I guess I should have started my post "in the interest of full disclosure..."!

I think you interpreted her post wrongly, and opposite of what the "common" interpretation would be.

She put a disclaimer that she is affiliated with Faro because she has positive reviews and insider info about the business and menu. A reasonable person could assume she has some bias (and that's OK). Making her post WITHOUT any sort of reference that she has a vested interest in the business would be a bit shady. Stating up front, as she did, that she is associated with the restaurant helps eliminate the crazy speculations and mud flinging common in this section.

Maybe you're right but IMO you don't disclaim that you work for someone if in fact you do.

I know this will probably blow up in my face but I want to say it anyway. The owners have made a business decision to change the name and focus of their business. As a business owner you have to look at your long range plan for success and longevity. I think they did a good job the first time and I for one am looking forward to see what they bring to the table next. I dont have any financial stake in the place but have enjoyed going as a customer. IMHO

[lilyelgato]

Just to beat a dead horse, Rusty and Karen are both right in the use of disclaimer. If one took a literal definition of the word, to disclaim would be to denounce a prior statement or cede a claim to something. But popular usage of "disclaimer" includes statements that clarify the parameters of a claim in order to avoid liability if expectations resulting from the statement are not met. Thus, they're both kind of right. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclaimer for a much better explanation than any I could attempt.

[Rusty]

The truth of the matter is that the word "disclaimer" should not have been used at all.
She just should have said: Just to let everyone know, "I will be working at Faro Italian Grille."

[Rusty]

On another note, why are there few Italian bistros in the area and many have closed? That's a good question to warrant an answer that I have no idea. Maybe there is not a large market for Italian?

Intuitively, it seems that a lobster pound restaurant theme is more geared to a summer recreational area like Winnipesaukee than an Italian restaurant concept. I suppose they can always switch back to the lobster pound concept if they get hammered this summer.
