Probably banking on all those new Condo's in the area needing a closer place to buy groceries.

This is ... "different:" from their website:

"The Kitchen @ 70 North is not a traditional restaurant.

We don't take reservations or walk-ins. And you don't order off a menu.
But it is very easy to join us & see the menu by clicking RSVP.

It's more like a "Supper Club", in every sense of the word, from ancient Rome to the midwestern Supper Club culture to the recent indie foodie scene. But still uniquely New Hampshire.

We are thrilled to plan, prepare, & serve you a memorable meal! To do so, we need appropriate lead time to select the best ingredients, test & refine our menu, prepare our staff, and take are of all the details."

can't walk in, can't call ahead to reserve? Do they come to my house? Do they throw food at the cars driving by? Send it by mail?

confusion seems like a bad business model

I though the same thing. It could be too sophisticated for me. I am not a fancy guy!

I did read this piece of good news on the website:
Elevated cuisine & inventive libations make 70 North both a destination & a favorite local spot.

Now that I know it is a favorite with the locals I will have to rethink my go-to places. Maybe I will see some friends there.

You have to click their "rsvp" button and find out how to get in. Not a big deal, I clicked it, but the like the descriptions in the website, the website design needs a little work.

I think you guys looking for an $8 all you can eat fisherman's plate might no like this place, but if the chef is as good as he claims, I'll give it a few tries.

How dare you? I'm willing to pay $30 (with soda and tip) for an AYCTE seafood experience!

But seriously, if this is as high-end as it appears, there's the real question of whether it can survive in the Lakes Region, no? Although the new place where Faro II was is killing it, that's a much smaller space.

I’m afraid my memory is kind of vague, but maybe someone remembers.
There used to be a restaurant in Central Maine that served a very high end, expensive meal. So many people wanted to go, and they couldn’t accommodate everyone. I think they had some kind of a telephone calling or a lottery or something. People came from all over the country for the experience. She supposedly was a phenomenal chef.

Can anyone help me out?

That is what I thought. The right restaurant could get a lot of business from Mom, Pop, and the kids stopping by or walking up from their boat at the Weirs docks. It looks like this will be more formal than that. My initial impression is that this format would do well in Boston but Weirs Beach? Maybe not so much.

And remember, it's a long winter. Snowmobiles dropping in? Probably a no go there too.

But, let see how it goes and give them a chance.

Lol, I think most restaurants have trouble surviving in this area due to a relatively sparse population. My attitude toward this is that if he is willing to give it a try, I will too. I'll reserve judgement on the pricing until I actually see it.

I've been here regularly 20 years now and have seen the restaurant quality steadily increase during that time. Hopefully this is another step in the right direction. Although I do agree that he could price himself out of the game up here if he's not careful.

To paraphrase Groucho Marx: I refuse to join any club that would let me in.

I hope the reality of the new restaurant is less confusing than the communication.

The last time I saw a tread like this in regards to a new restaurant concept coming to the neighborhood was back in 2010 and I was the topic. Most of us know how that worked out.

I am anxious to experience this culinary adventure.

I am also a little concerned about timing, but perhaps it’s well funded enough to weather the storm.

Must be catering to the expectation of the million dollar condo residents across the street. Wonder how this all works with bike week and it’s 100 anniversary this summer

It’s exciting to me that something of this caliber is coming to the Lakes Region. I can’t wait to hear everyone’s reviews.
I wish them good luck.

More than likely close for the week and rent to vendors as usual

Looking forward to their opening. Between the market and restaurant, it sounds like a good balance of offerings.

Default Supper Club sounds Super Cool

I will definitely try it out. It sounds like they will have a market like Gusto's in Center Harbor. People will go if the food is good. I think the RSVP Supper Club concept sounds cool.

"A supper club is a traditional dining establishment that also functions as a social club. The term may describe different establishments depending on the region, but in general, supper clubs tend to present themselves as having a high-class image, even if the price is affordable to all."

It makes no sense, having a quasi-private supper club at the Weirs.

As perhaps the biggest tourist attraction in the lakes region, the Weirs has hordes of out of towners / day trippers, and most of them will be hungry.

"Hey, let's check this place out...huh? Online reservations are needed? Forget it, let's do McDonalds."

Disagree. One place the locals can get away from the tourists. If it requires a small “club fee” to join we may give it a year. Those up for a week or two may not be willing to pony up the yearly fee

If you're a local trying to avoid tourists I would think the Weirs is the last place you would go.

Their website makes no mention of club fees etc. Before you all jump to conclusions and throw this place under the bus why don't you all do a little research what a supper club is or better yet go to their website and ask them.

Why are you assuming they don’t have fees? If it’s ok for you to assume they don’t why isn’t it ok for me to assume they will? The website has little to any relevant information at this time. Let’s all speculate until it’s identified. Are you not entertained?
Also, why are you so angry on New Year’s Eve?

It's a generational thing. I'm scared of my cell phone, too, but my kids live by it and will make reservations, or check wait time, menus, specials, etc while we're cruising.

And, if McDonald's is your alternative, that's definitely a different generation.

Also, why are you so angry on New Year’s Eve?

No anger here...just saying folks should not jump to conclusions. The research I did on supper clubs appears to be in line with many other businesses that use the word "club" without charging you to belong. Go google "frequent flyers club" and you will see what I am talking about.

I googled. As far as I can tell, you don't join any of those clubs without spending a lot of $$ first. Whatever 70 North is planning, they're getting some great, free, notoriety in these discussions, so I'd say they are good at their marketing. We'll all know in good time.
If you don't like 70 North, it appears the Lodge at Smith Point is for sale, turnkey. Make an offer and run it the way you like. I hope it is back open soon.

There are plenty of options for dinner in the Lakes Region. It will be quite easy for me to avoid this one!

It's more like a "Supper Club", in every sense of the word, from ancient Rome to the midwestern Supper Club culture to the recent indie foodie scene. But still uniquely New Hampshire.

We are thrilled to plan, prepare, & serve you a memorable meal! To do so, we need appropriate lead time to select the best ingredients, test & refine our menu, prepare our staff, and take are of all the details."
After visiting their website, I don’t see any of this information on there? I have been to “private” chef nights where you need to RSVP for limited seating, and maybe get to review the menu before going, and will admit they are fun...even if it costs a little extra cheese. Curious how this quote came to be?

Interesting; it was there when I copied and pasted it, now it is gone.

I am still not getting the whole concept. It will be interesting to see if it is a fit for the area.

I hope it succeeds, I hate seeing empty buildings.
The restaurant doesn't seem like my cup of tea but I'm sure I will visit the marketplace.

Just got my first email from 70 north. Nothing earth shattering, but good to be in the know. No, I don't know them, nor am I affiliated with them.

Sounds like the market will be similar to Gusto in Center Harbor.
