"Patrons" acting like asshats at Ellacoya Barn and Grille

First and foremost thank you to all who have continuously supported us through the years. We have been a part of the community for over 16 years and it is extremely disappointing for us to have to post about an incident that occurred late Saturday afternoon.

Short story, we had a group of adults that wanted to be sat altogether (larger than we could accommodate at that particular time). We offered to divide the party in different sections, but they refused the offer. They chose to leave and proceeded out the front door with alcoholic beverages (glass) in hands. When approached by the manger on shift to leave the alcohol inside the door, this person was assaulted by people in their party. They continued outside and vandalized our buildings entrance. GPD was notified and this is being investigated.

Our point in this post is to say….we will continue to be a community restaurant that offers great food and service, but we will not tolerate belligerent individuals that put our staff in harms way! During this incident, we had employees who are impressionable minors that are a part of our workforce observe adults behaving this way. No one should have been subject to this behavior and it was out of line. If you are one that chooses not to adhere to state rules and regulations please don’t dine with us. We apologize for having to post this when 99% of the time our patrons are very respectful, accommodating and adherent. This post is for that group of individuals who feel their actions were acceptable and justified.

As a family restaurant, we will continue to serve our community and provide a safe and comfortable environment for our staff and patrons.

There is also a posting on FB by the Gilford Police Dept with CCTV footage of the group in question
