The only upside to crappy weather is that I can get a dock in Wolfeboro. We tried the remodeled Garwoods tonight.
The place looks great. Much brighter and more inviting. The place was booked up with reservations, so we had to take a viewless table or wait.
I think they went a little pretentious on their presentation to try and match the new decor. We both had baked seafood and the tried and true baking dishes were placed on square plates with doilies. The sides were also serve this way.
The scallops and haddock were great but the sides were disappointing, usually I don't think much about them but the fish was so hot when served that I ate the rice while it cooled. Now rice here means an ice cream scoop of plain white rice. No butter, no sauce, no pilaf, just slightly soggy rice. On the same plate you get five or six sting beans and some juliene zuchinni.
We love Garwoods for lunch and seldom eat dinner there, the seafood was great but the meal was less than satisfying. I think I'll stick to lunch.
