There was also something that left us feeling as if they could not commit to one direction. Part of the floor was an attractive wood while there was a rather ugly carpet covering another. The lighting was very bright which I guess is good for those who don't see well but not so good for those in search of a romantic night out.

We had fried clams that fall way short of the one served at Family Tree, Maine Mussels that were tough and without flavor, Spaghetti and meatballs (beefollo is the only option) which had a very disappointing sauce, and the lobster and avocado salad which was nothing more than some slices of avocado and pieces of lobster on a Greek salad.

The food was somewhat blah, ranking right up there with the best that Chili's Applebees or Pizza Uno have to offer.
What I meant is it might be a franchise but if nothing else it does look like the same family might own both NH restaurants.
Nicole and Miranda Fenoff started the one in Woodsville NH.
Found this by googling the name and reading the, about us, section.
