As for the service it a little disorganized which can be expected with a new opening.
We went back to the bar Saturday night and ate at the bar. I had the Prime Rib MW for which I was served the end cut and promptly sent it back - no paying $28.00 for end cut - sorry - the new rib was brought out in good fashion and was a little rare but was good. The other half got the backed haddock and scallopls combo which used to be her favorite - there was quite a bit of confusion from the staff as to what she was ordering how it would be prepared. I was surprised by this as it was an old menu item. She was not impressed with end result and said she would not order it again. My son had a burger ordered med well - came out med rare - he did not even eat it. Bar staff not very well organized and still getting used to the new set up - not that it is that much different. They spent most of thier time with their backs to the customers discussing the new computer system for managing the service bar and checks.
The bill was $112.00 for the Prime Rib, Backed Haddock, Burger and two drinks a piece. Wifes wine was $10 a very small glass.
As we were leaving noted that the bar tender - who is familiar with us -was more concerned with looking to see if I had signed the merchant copy of the bill instead of thanking us and wishing us well.
This was an old favorite that we frequented quite a few times over the summer in previous years. Unfortunately we all concluded that we won't be in much of hurry to return.

We called Sandy Point and were told that a glass of house wine is $5.50 which we consider reasonable (maybe not reasonable in our book but on par) but would have to see what a "very small glass" is.
To hear that you have been a frequent customer in the past and was not impressed may hold us back for now; kind of like The Wolfeboro Inn which has changed a bit since the new ownership a few years back. We have never ordered the prime rib but have noticed that it is massive. Wondering if the cut got smaller. Voiced concerns about the fried clams and the stuffed lobster in this thread raises a flag with us.
Thanks for all your posts and will continue watching closely.
