I can imagine a "coat and tie" restaurant surviving in a large city like Boston. But to have such a rule in a lake vacation area is just plain silly.
Even with a "proper attire" rule, what are you gaining by limiting your customer base? Are there a meaniful amount of people in central NH that would not go to restaurant because other patrons may be dressed in casual clothing? Are there people that would search out a restaurant that required "proper attire" and chose it above a more flexible alternative?
Now ask the same question with regards to a "tappas" restaurant, which is essentially bar food. I just don't get it.
