I think "O" in Lakeport is rather upscale, and the pricing reflects it, but I have eaten dinner there in khaki pants and blouse... Canoe is one of the better restaurants around ... no dress code that I'm aware of. The Manor House may still require jacket/tie - we won't go there anyway-too expensive and snooty. This is a resort area, people wear resort-type clothing, you will shoot yourself in the foot (in my humble opinion) if you try to enforce a dress code.
I didn't think smoking was allowed in any restaurants anymore... and I agree that going to dinner after 7:30 it's less likely to have kids around. But this is a family-oriented resort town, and if you make a statement that kids are only welcome up to a certain time, well, then alot of locals and visitors will not be coming to your establishment.
