Wow!Talk about a 180 degree turn from the op.Good news but a controled environment as this testing was is not the bellweather of what awaits normal dinner seatings.The food sounds great.Lets hope the service matches in the future.Time will tell.

Counting myself and my bride and if you review many of the most resent inputs before the tasting, it sure sounds to me that the under lined part of the quote has been done and hopefully it will continue. I know that there are many great comments since we were there on Christmas eve.

Go to www.tripadvisor.com and read the reviews for Wolf's Tavern that have been posted in the last few months. Most have been excellent.

SOLD OUT:...?? I thought this "Tasting" was FREE......I thought All WE (Tasters) had to do... was say nice things about the INN on Winni.com. to get the Free Stuff... I guess I'm confused again. I hate being over 70... NB

Where's my Walker..?? NB

It's nice to see that some (10) people have had a good/excellent experience at the Wolfeboro Inn "Tasting". It shows that the Inn is capable.....if perhaps only on a selective basis.

I'm inclined to think that the great majority of those who read this forum however will be Un-impressed...........but reluctant to drag it down because...well... everyone here wants to see the INN succeed...Myself included. NB

PS: The Wolfeboro Inn was once our favorite place, and it will be again, under new management.

The the previous post mentions 10 tasters in attendance at the "new menu items" tasting last week...there were 12 good Forum Folks at the table...did two not like the experience...?? Are we missing something?? Someone?? The effort was well-received...the food was critiqued..and all seemed to enjoy the evening....I do believe the the number should be 12.

SIKSUKR · 02-09-2012, 01:03 PM

I believe a few members had their spouses with them.

beagle · 02-09-2012, 03:32 PM

You're a grouch??? Post #1 invites 10 people to try the new menu. Ten people responded and attended. I don't think it was meant to be an open invitation to free food for the whole forum, that would be too expensive. In addition, I am sure Mr. Soderberg wanted to hear everyone's opinions in detail which is why he only invited 10 people. I hope I misunderstood and you were just joking with this post

. BTW, we had dinner there about a month ago and enjoyed both the food and service very much!

Newbiesaukee · 02-09-2012, 03:38 PM

What we seem to have here is the common internet miscommunication.

Jonas Pilot · 02-09-2012, 03:42 PM

"You're a grouch" was for NB.

camp guy · 02-09-2012, 04:01 PM

Hey, Jonas Pilot, don't you think "SOLD OUT" was used as an expression to indicate 'all spaces taken', and not in the sense of money? I do.

Of course.What else could it have meant?

NoBozo · 02-09-2012, 07:11 PM

I'm not a grouch.

Merrymeeting · 02-09-2012, 07:30 PM

Perhaps a logistics issue. I originally responded and was accepted. Due to a business trip, I couldn't make it. I told George and he was very prompt and gracious in his responses (several). Those who would nit-pick a voluntary, well-intentioned effort...

Pineedles · 02-09-2012, 07:37 PM

My apologies for our dysfunctional group of idiots. Don't blast me fellow idiots, we are the kind of idiots that Damon described. As a team, we're winners!

I look forward to enjoying a new 1st meal and then many at the Wolfeboro Inn in the future. If DRH and Quilt Lady says its thumbs up, I know there are honest opinions being expressed.

I remember The Penquin Restuarant and Lounge. It was a hopping place with bands on weekends. The food was good.
