Well I've been up here all my life and am ashamed to say, I haven't been too adventurous with my dining selections....SO I made a pact to venture out some more this summer.
I started at the Wolfeboro Inn and am already thinking I should stay put.
I'd never been to the Inn and was dining alone this particular evening. I entered through the pub and was overwhelmed by the smoke (thanks goodness THAT won't be a problem anymore come September). I waited at the bar for a bit while the bartender chatted with 2 patrons then wandered through the place trying to find a hostess station as not a single staff member (waitress/bartender/etc.) asked to help me.
I was quickly seated in the Maple room after asking to sit in a non-smoking section. My waitress was friendly and attentive, but the food....YIKES. For the prices, I expected much better.
The foods at the salad bar must have been there all day with no attention as there was a dry crust on all of the salads, the cukes were dry, the bread was rock solid, and the dressings were all separated (like in the bottle when you need to shake it first). Even the cole slaw was tough and dry.
The menu offered a Sea Scallops, Haddock or Baby Shrimp plate and described the combo platter as some of each of these. I ordered the seafood combo plate without shrimp as I don't care for baby shrimp and the waitress said they would just give me more haddock and scallops. I took that to mean that my meal was supposed to consist then of Sea Scallops and Haddock. I was wrong. What I got was 6 bay scallops (one of them was almost as big as a quarter) and some fish flavored crunchy batter with a baked potato (which was good) and some sweet, but obviously all day soaked baby carrots. I was too hungry to send it back so I suffered through it, but for my money in this high end restaurant, I was terribly disappointed and won't return.
I'll keep you posted on my other dining excursions if I dare!!!
