It's perfectly understandable to me that, especially in the off-season, Wolfeboro restaurants are fuzzy about their closing times because it's an early town even in season and there's no point in an empty restaurant going to the expense of staying open in the unlikely event that a bunch of customers are going to happen by on the late side. Some take reservations and all have PHONE numbers — faster and more reliable to simply call about a specific night instead of trying to figure out from their websites or Facebook pages how late they'll be open.

Except in busy urban areas, even if a restaurant posts its hours I'd never just show up near stated closing time.
