And Nolan's is good but by no means not " the restaurant" good. A little pricey for the portions that are served.

We attended the Featival of Trees at the Wright Museum tonight. It was a full house and a great social evening. The local Wolfeboro resturants have tables there offering sampling of their menus. There were over 24 local eating establishments showing and offering their best. I didn't realize our wonderful town of Wolfeboro had such great choices of dining.

But really surprised us was in fact the new O' Bisto was there with their offering of Mac and Cheese. I was taken back because driving by the old "In on Main" there haven' t been any signs saying that they are now open. I asked the person serving the Mac and Cheese when were they going to open. She said we have been open since mid November. Well I said I have never seen cars there or any advertisements. Several people behind me asked the same question. Not sure i get the reasoning for not promoting the opening. Oh and by the way, why just Mac and Cheese. It was good....but the Pine Cone has much better. However, Good luck to them. We are looking forward to dining there over the weekend.

The Pine Cone has better Mac n Cheese?? Come on. The Pine Cone and the rest of their restaurants are essentially the same as eating off a Sysco truck with a kitchen inside.

Nothing homemade. No imagination.

The Pine Cone offers reasonable value food and a nice place for a beer but it isn't fine dining. I go there since it is close and there is a nice community atmosphere. I don't understand why the owners don't up their game and hire someone with a little creativity as a chef. It wouldn't cost much. As far as their Wolfeboro location goes, I never go there since it is bland and there are many better choices in Wolfeboro.

Although I can agree with you, I happen to be in the kitchen watching Scott from Magic Foods 'whip' up his Mac&Cheese. Nothing came from the can. Just fresh cooked elbows and globs of blocked cheese. 4 kinds to be exact. IT is amazing what this guy can do with a giant wok pan!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Scott's lobster Mac & Cheese is second to none!

Re read my post. I was saying that there is zero chance that the Pine Cone has better mac n cheese than o's etc... Absolutely.

O's opens at 3 Wednesday through Saturday. They are considering a shuttle to the docks in the summer.

I have not been but saw some pictures of the barn, it looks nice!

The barn is not an old barn but it looks like an old barn. It was built maybe 10 years ago. I think it is pretty.

Perhaps it is their way of "Soft Opening" .... albeit a month is a long time for a soft opening. It allows staff (particularly kitchen) to get their act together before the scrutiny and reviews begin.

Just a thought.

I too was in Wolfeboro last weekend and looking for indications of what stage it was in -- saw nothing, presumed nothing yet had occurred.
