    Southwest corn salad with mahi-mahi
    Kevin M.

    I'm guessing, for whatever reason, Tuesdays are just hard to find a good place to go to in Wolfeboro. Our first choice was the wicked loon. After that, we tried the little wine bar around the corner. Both of those were closed on Tuesdays. Is it because the tourist season isn't here yet? With that, we made our way to marker 21, to the third floor, that was open and made ourselves comfortable at the bar. Our bartender was a young girl, moving briskly about the bar area. After reviewing their beverages, I wanted to try their hot and dirty. It's a martini concoction of vodka, olive and pepporcini brine, and blue cheese stuffed olives. My wife, decided just to have water. When my hot and dirty arrived, there was the greenish yellow hue of the different brines and pimento stuffed olives. I asked the bartender about the blue cheese, stuffed olives, she quickly noted that they didn't have any. Really wish she would've brought that up when I ordered or at least mention it before making it. Unfortunately, it really was not a very special of a beverage. Not sure if the blue cheese stuffed olives would've made much of a difference. After finishing that I tried for a local IPA, there seemed to be some confusion as to what local ment. My wife ordered their chicken tender meal with homemade chips rice french fries while I ordered their street corn salad with mahi-mahi. I thought the salad and fish were absolutely delicious! The chicken tenders and chips were standard fare.

    The location of Marker 21 is very different & appealing. Went up the stairs to find an open dining area with lots of windows facing Lake Winnipesaukee. My husband & I arrived about half an hour past the opening time & there were already 4 tables of customers, 1 of them that had about 8 people. There were (2) bartenders/waitresses on staff. We were there during the less busy/less touristy season so we figured we'd be in & out for a good lunch. I'd say that we must've caught them on an 'off' day. We were greeted right away & our drinks were brought right over. Our meals took about 20 minutes to arrive but when we were finished, no one came by to check on us or bring the check for nearly 30 minutes. That was the most disappointing part... My husband ended up standing at the bar to ask for the bill so that we could head out. Now, about the food. The chicken wings on the "Bites" part of the menu definitely can serve as a meal. I had the Ramen Bowl & it was very good! It filled me up quickly, as it is quite large & loaded with noodles. I took the rest home but it did not taste as good as it did when it was fresh, but that's to be expected. I'd give Marker 21 another chance... I'd love to try more items on their menu & give it a shot during the summer months / sit outside.

    Hands down the Best Burger of my life!! 1/2 pound of juicy delicious meat! Bacon jam, lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun. It was cooked perfectly (I ordered it rare) so many places cook burgers well done which dries it out and ruins it IMO. Service was excellent! Staff was friendly. I was by myself so I sat at the bar-there was a good, positive energy like the staff was enjoying themselves and wanted to be there! And...don't forget the Spectacular View of Lake Winnipesaukee! Just beautiful! I am a local from Wolfeboro and will return! Thank You Marker 21!

    Al fresco on the deck facing the water was certainly a bonus. Service was good, attentive and timely. Give it a try and enjoy!

    Good service, great views. The corn chowder was great. The Buddha bowl tasted a little too much like soy sauce for my liking.

    I love this place, and if you like smoked food, kimchi, interesting beer, and friendly staff you…read morewill too. I mean this place has me hooked on the chi. They do special smoke days too. They once did whole chicken which was pretty perfect outside on the old patio. Pretty much impossible to undercook something you smoked for hours but very easy to dry it out, and it was great. Actually brought the whole fam there that day including our dog. It's petfriendly outside. They have three main beers that you can always get, and then about another 3 beers or so of rotating and experimental beers/ciders. If you want to get an idea of the staff this is from my first visit there a few years back. I actually think this was towards the beginning of Covid. We had to get out of dodge and enjoy some relaxation by the lake. When we showed up everywhere we drove by the spots we normally frequented and everywhere was closed, sometime near 8 pm. We did a search and found that here was open and headed over as fast as we could to try to get something to eat. Unfortunately the grill just closed, and we resigned ourselves to a liquid dinner. The chef then pokes his head out and offers to make a pretzel for us, and we could not have been happier. It was a big one too. The staff was just so welcoming and seemingly very happy that we were there... which is not always the case in the general area... that Burnt Timber became one of our usual spots instantly. Each time we've been back it has always been that way, which is even more rare not just here but back in the Boston area as well. So again if you like smoked and fermented things in an unpretentious atmosphere with very friendly staff I'm pretty sure you'll love this place too

    The beer was okay, we got there right when they opened and sat outside at the picnic tables which…read morewas nice. Ample amount of seating indoors and outdoors. One of us got a pint and the other a flight - in most of the flight glasses there was sediment or the glasses were just downright dirty.

    The salad appetizer (pears and gorgonzola on top of arugula) and grilled pork chop entrée were both…read moreunder par. The salad appeared to have been dressed with apple sauce mixed with water(!) and nothing else, and the pork chop tasted of ammonia and some other chemical. It was dry and inedible. Took one small bite, even though the smell was entirely off-putting. Tossed in the trash at home. A very expensive experience for what it was. The one star is for the welcoming and amiable wait staff. In spite of the super cold dining room in which we were seated (some of the folks in our party, including me, resorted to wearing coats and hats during the meal to get warm!), they were cheerful and attentive. The cook did come out into the dining room toward the very end of the evening and put the wall-mounted heater on, which took some of the edge off the cold. Lastly, on exiting the building, watch your step! There's a drop of about 2 feet as you approach the door to the parking lot. Anyone with mobility challenges may be unable to navigate this and/or the black ice in the parking lot.

They suffer from the curse of many NH restaurants that try to be too fancy (not necessary) & so miss the mark or they are just too overly impress with themselves & just don't deliver. They suffer from over trying & just don't deliver. We tried the fried oysters appetizer, undercooked, with their overly sweet bbq sauce - yuk. My husband had their special entree mussel frites & the fries were a soggy mess. I enjoyed their fish special & hoping it was cooked well enough so I don't have food poisoning.. I think it was ok but given our eating experience, I'm a little scared. When the staff is a delight, I hate having to write such a poor review but this was a train wreck of plated meals.

If you are in Wolfsboro and are looking for lake views, this place will suit your needs well. There is no parking and the public lot behind is always full. Prepare to circle a lot ... or find creative spaces. Paralell parking on the street is quite a chore as once you go behind the spot and try to back in, its almost impossible. The food here is average ... or slightly below. I had the worst $26 clam strip roll I have ever had. It had 4 clam strips ... yes, only 4!! Basically, it was a mountain of fries, a plain hot dog bun (not even butter toasted) and a small cup of mayonaise covered cole slaw. The fish and chips are okay ... it looks better than it tastes. Appetizers are nothing to write home about, although the seafood chowder was the best dish any of us had, loaded with clams, potatoes and fish. We found ourselves pondering the menu as nothing looked incredibly good. The views are what you come for. On a nice day, the early 2000's 'wooden everything' decorated interior is not where you want to be seated. The upper deck area naturally has a long wait ... but great waterfrobt views. They have a lower deck as well, which is covered. Slightly less remarkabke views as you are at water level. The waiter was great. Lots of good suggestions and wasn't obstrusive. It's hard not to want to give this place 4 stars for the service and the views ... but the food is just so dissapointing, 3 stars is what it really deserves.
