Pineneedles, I graciously accept your apology. I agree that it is sad that my first review was seen as negative. In that review, I did mention some good things about WP. I know the positives are easier to overlook than the negatives. Truth be told, I have been a customer of WP's for a LONG TIME. The food was always good. The mark of a good restaurant is consistency, it was obvious at my last visit that the quality of the lobster rolls was not consistent with what has been previously reported or experienced. At the time of my visit, there were many of the lobster rolls served besides the 2 we got. As I was sitting close to where the servers came out of the kitchen, it appeared that all the lobster rolls contained the stringy leg meat rather than the tail and claw meat. The rest of the food served was hot, fresh and prepared well.
Once again, my intent is not to flame or denigrate the reputation of any establishment, but rather report, as honestly and accurately as I can, MY experience on a particular visit.
I like to think that the owner/operators of WP's and any future reviewed eateries will accept them as constructive criticism and correct the issues accordingly. My comments, corroborated by others is a clear indication that something is awry with the lobster rolls at WP's. Maybe the 3 rating was a little harsh, but I would not rate it to anything higher than a 4. The decision to return to the quality of the lobster that we all previously enjoyed is entirely up to the owners of the restaurant.
Did you see my latest review of Louis Nasis's Famous Pizza?
