Wolfetrap Grill & Rawbar — Restaurant in Wolfeboro

I am giving this restaurant a 1 star due to the length of time we had to wait and the waitress we had. We arrived on 7-12-18 and checked in at 6:24pm. We was told it would be 30-35 minutes for the wait. For us that was very reasonable. After an hour of waiting I went back to the young lady at the desk and asked her how much longer we would be waiting as we had already been waiting past the time she had first specified. She told me that there were 6 other parties in front of us and nobody in the dining area was leaving and she couldn't just make them leave. A good decent restaurant would ask those patrons who were just drinking if they could move their party into the bar area so they are able to seat other parties. About 10-15 minutes later they finally sat us only for us to find out that they had plenty of tables available but nobody was cleaning them off. Our waitress came over to greet us and take our drink order. When she brought our drinks she asked if we was ready to order and had any questions. We did have a question and was ready to order but after answering our question, she just walked away. She did not return for another 10 minutes. Once the food arrived we were both surprised at how much oil was on my plate(I had the salmon with Thai peanut glaze) and my husband had the wolfetrap bouillabaisse. There was so much bouillabaisse that you couldn't see any of the other ingredients and the smashed potatoes turned to a liquid glue. Although it was flavorful, it was less than par for the price. It is pretty sad when the hostess has to buss tables just to...

Have to say that I had a bad experience here. I am a newly widowed woman, so went to eat at this establishment alone on a Thursday night. I went early - before 5:00 so as not to waste a table on just one person. Well, the hostess and waitress both seemed reluctant to make me feel comfortable from the start. The waitress was very monotone - no where close to being friendly. I ordered a glass of wine, hoping to get a piece of bread, but was told that they had none - only some garlic bread. So, I ordered a salad which was described as having blueberries, strawberries and raspberries on it. When I got it, there were no raspberries, very few blueberries and 4 strawberries, which was fine. But, what was most prevalent on the salad plate were at least 25 pieces of grapefruit - which I don't care for at all! I mentioned it to the waitress who didn't seem to care in the least. I fully expected to receive the salad the way it was described on the menu. So, I paid over $33.00, for something that I didn't even like - no one even tried to make me feel content about it. I left a $2.00 tip - (first time in my life that I haven't tipped a normal amount) and then left without anyone saying thank you - good-bye -...

Great place, amazing food. The only issue was the hostesses are clearly green and don’t know how to handle a rush. This idiot family in front of us insisted they had a reservation, which this restaurant does not do. It turned into a thing, and the 3 hostess all decided to focus on making this family happy instead of having one deal with them and the other continue to take names of the people coming in waiting for the tables, in order to get some sort of order going. This resulted in more and more people who kept coming in, then had to stop and wait for the hostesses to finish dealing with this family, which took about 15 minutes and was creating a huge bottleneck in the doorway. Not a big deal in the long run, but maybe you want to get more seasoned hostesses for the dinner rush and let the kids right out of high school do the less busy times. The food, however, was totally worth the wait. I had the gazpacho to start , which was literally the best gazpacho I’ve had in my life. I followed that up with the swordfish tacos, which were equally amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough, though maybe come here for a late lunch / early dinner to try and...
