The service was excellent but the manger sure did put a bad taste in our mouth. The one good thing we got out of the visit was that we found out that the old manager is opening up a place on the pier---that would be great!! Oh and we also hear there is a topless place going in over in Laconia for all you guys  |
I'm am appalled by the Manager making these statements! I think her Superiors might want to sit down and have a little chat with her about how unprofessional it is to make slanderous and rude remarks about others, especially in such a small town. Although in my opinion, this behavior is a direct reflection of nothing more than poor management and taste. Restaurant owners should never insult owners of other restaurant's and should teach their staff the same manner, as it does not sit well with most. Michael never "ran any place into the ground"; we happen to know him quite well. He is now at the Patio Garden located in Weirs Beach, across from the Crazy Gringo. Please go and visit him, I know he would be happy to have you. I spoke with him several days ago and brought this post to his attention, however it seems someone else, or actually several others had already had made him aware of it. His reaction was that this was completely unprofessional as well as untrue, however he seemed to roll it off completely. Maybe the Manager at the Lobster Pound should spend some time observing her own technique as it appears the last place she was running closed down suddenly and unexpectedly due to financial reasons and lack of business. This puts a bad taste in our mouth as well, and reinforces our decision to never return to the Lobster Pound.
