Sandy Point - Alton

So we 'll give you the abridged version of our experience/comedy show..... 7:30 reservation at an empty restaurant hostess (60 years old with purple hair) here 's your table your waiter will be over in 10 15 minuets fly frozen in the ice cube wrong drinks waiter never introduced himself or listed off specials watched 3 other tables have orders wrong took over an hour to get 2 sandwich 's a hot dog and steamers waiter told us I don 't know where the F (I censored it not him) your food is watched a table come in 29 minuets after us get bakes stuffed lobster 10 minuets before our sandwiches Burger was ordered medium well. Can out medium moo and red inside burger was taken off the bill but it still came to $90 we were told that the kitchen we very backed up but the chef was sitting at a table drinking checking his Facebook. All in all. It felt more like a National Lampoon movie than a nice dinner out with family.

We were a party of four and arrived around 6:30 PM. We enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, main courses, and dessert, leaving the restaurant around 8:30 PM. This isn’t the spot for anyone seeking fast food, but if you’re after delicious, hearty meals served by eager staff, then Sandy Point Restaurant is the perfect choice. You won't be disappointed. The management has chosen to continue the tradition of employing local high school students, many of whom are just starting their first job. They may be a bit shy, but their enthusiasm to learn and provide good service is commendable. The back dining room features high-top tables that seat four but can easily accommodate six with plenty of space. Alongside the wall, there are several square and rectangular tables that can be combined for larger parties. This dining area also offers fantastic views of Alton Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. The front dining room has round tables that seat six and eight people. Both dining areas are spacious, clean, and inviting. What could enhance the experience? Perhaps providing each table with a canister of pencils for guests to use while they wait, encouraging conversation, brainstorming, and creativity. Additionally, a soft background jazz piano playing classic pieces, such as “Blue in Green,” could add a pleasant ambiance to the atmosphere.

The worst meal I've EVER had. Service horrible. Food disgusting. This is NOT the old place. Went there remembering the old place and came for same experience. Huge disappointment. Arrived on Labor Day weekend to empty restaurant. Which should have been first red flag. Sat down and waitress was frazzled, which was odd since she only had 2 tables. Prices incredibly expensive. Atmosphere so depressing. Everyone looks miserable. Service so slow. Took forever to get food. People next to us sent steamers back and then received steak dinner and refused to pay because was so bad. Best part was laughing with them how bad it was. Would never come back and you shouldn't either.

They 're Back!!!! No longer Nolan 's at Sandy Point. If you loved this restaurant for many decades as I have, give them a try. My husband, my daughter and I visited Sandy Point Restaurant tonight. I 've been a loyal customer since I was a very small child. With Wally and Jean Damon 's retirement 4 or 5 years ago, this restaurant has undergone some major challenges. It was even an entirely different place last year, Nolan 's at Sandy Point. I am very happy to share that it is now, once again, Sandy Point Restaurant, and the traditional favorites (king baked stuffed lobster and prime rib) are once again on their menu. We all tried the lobster and found it to be delicious. The stuffing was delicious and the only change was that the amount of cracker crumbs was way fewer than in days past. If you love all the crackers, I guess you could ask for extra cracker crumbs. The owner/chef 's name is Tony. He came out to talk with us; a real nice guy originally from New Jersey. Our waitress was Diane. She has been with the restaurant for 20 plus years and she was such a pleasure. Her daughter has now joined the staff and is doing a fabulous job alongside her. They have only been open for about a week now and may need some additional staff on those really busy nights. I am thrilled that it is now once again, Sandy Point Restaurant. The staff is still new, so please be patient with them. Any kinks will be worked out in time. Check their Facebook page daily to see when they 're open as they are still working on their schedule. I highly recommend you give them a try and a great review when you 're satisfied. Thank You!

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We arrived early and there was two people in the bar, that's it. The prices are beyond outrageous, $65 for surf and turf, $65 for seafood stuffed lobster, with lobsters selling for $5 a pound, you do the math. It took 1 hour to get our food and that's when the fun begins. My lobster was terrible, I didn't even finish it, it was like rubber and tasteless. The seafood stuffed was soggy with a few scallops and a shrimp. I will never go back, you shouldn't either! Terrible.
