What would be the best non-poofy steak & seafood place in that area?

Non-poofy? The Union Diner comes to mind

Schuster's Tavern features steaks and the Lodge at Smith Point has been good. Unfortunately, both are not currently open. I agree with the others, Ellacoya or Patrick's.

O’s in Laconia, but not sure if that is too poofy for what you’re looking for. Food is always great (particularly lobster Mac n’ cheese). Ellacoya also has good steaks and a surprising amount of seafood dishes. The prices at the two are fairly comparable, actually.

Tell me about O, since I've never been. Clean t-shirt and shorts appropriate? I'm not worried about price (within reason), but I don't want to be in a tiny-steak-served-in-the-middle-with-sprigs-of-garn-taking-up-real-estate-that-could-be-filled-with-more-steak kinda place, ya dig?

Shorts are fine I would wear something a little nicer than a clean tee but I have seen many with clean tees. Steak sizes are excellent here’s the current menu. They usually have steak specials also

Eat after, not before

This has been proposed (behind the scenes), but it'll be too late—the flight is at 7 and is 1.5 hours.

We've done a few things like this—mostly helicopters—so we have some experience!

Heaven is right. Depending on turbulence you might want to eat light before.

I've never figured this out. A guy in a tee shirt is a slob and a woman in a tee shirt is chic. If a guy wants to go "casual" he should at least wear a collared ("polo") shirt.
