He tried a rest. in Wolfeboro in the 1980's with Rex Seeley of the Woodshed and the Browns from the Corner House and it didn't fly. I think part of the reason it didn't fly was because Rex Seeley left the area for the Carribean. His rest. was either called AwSchucks or Rumors and was in the spot where Garwoods is now.

It was Aw Shucks. Rumors was owned by Charlie Smith and then Tom Taylor owned it next.

We had dinner there tonight. There were many tempting options on the dinner menu. Two "happy plates" at our booth.

I fondly remember the Bittersweet Restaurant from my youth - unless I am confusing it with another place. It was on Route 28, on the way to Ossipee, right? The last time we were there must have been about 15 years ago or so, but it was still Bittersweet then.

Anyway, it has been a bunch of different restaurants since then. Is it going to be yet another?

I heard the new restaurant will open this week. From what I understand they got their liquor license yesterday and have all other permits and the construction work is about done.

I think PW is talking about Geordy's here (the Restaurant 03894), not the Barn Door.

It is in the Wolfeboro Marketplace where the old pizza house used to be. The review from the first customers was good.

Ate there last night. Very comfortable atmosphere, many familiar faces (I undertand that Gary McGloin from Mis en Place and the Woodshed will be on the staff) and the food was excellent. We had the Elvis burger (1/2 # fresh ground sirloin, peanut butter and bacon), seared scallops with roasted corn and johnny cakes (?) and an appetizer of veggie rangoons. I understand everything is prepared fresh daily, on site.

How are the prices? is it family friendly?

mcdude · 05-13-2009, 07:12 PM

....and....does it have a name? "Geordy's Place"... maybe?..."Restaurant 03894"?

Patiently Watching · 05-13-2009, 10:36 PM

It's called "the restaurant"
Reasonable prices. Highest priced item $18. Full liquor license too

Yup, it's so original, it's not even registered with the Secretary of State's Corporate Division! SOOOOO, it must be registered under a different name and, if they have a liquor license, they've GOT to be registered!!

"The Restaurant 03894" was registered on 02/13/09 and listed as "in good standing". Their agent is Randy Walker. Here's the link for the online lookup:

Thanks, beaner, I stand corrected. I'm familiar with the online lookup; that's where I had looked when I made my post above. I didn't realize the Wolfeboro zip code was part of the name; I was looking for just "The Restaurant" which is the name Patiently Watching listed four posts above.

Anyone have anymore info on the Barndoor/Bittersweet sale? Who bought it, when /if it will reopen, etc?

tis · 05-16-2009, 07:42 AM

Easy mistake to make, if you didn't know and just looked at the sign, "The Restaurant" is big, and way down in the right hand corner is the "03894". We went there last night. Two had scallops and one had the fish fry. The report was the fish was good but didn't like the batter instead of crumbs, which is just a personal preference. I had the elvis which was very good, lots of fries, I couldn't eat them all but gave them to one of my dinner mates as he was hungry after getting the scallops. The place was packed. We ate outside and it was very enjoyable.

I'm not surprised; I had a feeling the sign would look like that!!

So has anyone heard or know anything new about the Bittersweet/Barn Door site? Are they open? Do we have a name?

I heard a bit of news about that. I heard that Barbara Narramore DID bid on it at the auction which we heard and that two guys also bid on it, which we heard. Supposedly she bid around $130,000 and they bid around $325. So of course they got it. But then their financing fell through. The auctioneer then called Barbara to see if she wanted to buy it for $325. Duh, if she wanted to do that, wouldn't she have bid it in the first place???? I heard the previous owners cleaned out all the cooking equipment and supplies so there wasn't much left. So I guess at this point it must be up for grabs. Anyone want a restaurant out there? Samiam? You could make it wonderful!
Oh, I also talked to someone who went to a wedding at the Wolfeboro Inn Saturday and they had the same bad service, same cold food everyone has been talking about. I guess the Bride's father was very upset and had finally had enough and spoke to them. I don't know what happened. So I guess they don't have their act together yet. I should probably post this on the W. Inn Post though. Will do that later.
