We went to a one star Michelin restaurant at the weekend...
Food pretty good but very small portions.
The main problem, were the 17 year olds serving!!
I looked on the Michelin site - they've had a star since 1999 - How???
We've been to many restaurants - who serve MUCH better food and give great service.
It would seem their brand is badly devalued by the inclusion of this restaurant.
Is there a big difference between one and two stars?

I wonder if you can get Naturist restaurants ?
I should imagine Naturist BBQ's are fraught with all sorts of dangers.

When I go out I like to dress down. I dress for work unless there is onsite rules. I like to be casual when out.
I can dress with the best of them. If I really wanted to go to a place with a dress code then I would dress to it. A dress code doesnt exclude scum.

Menelaus posted : if I do wear jeans (like the ones I'm wearing right now, at work) they're of the sandy-beige coloured variety, and a smart shirt plus jacket.
It's the blue jeans that are LC. Horrid things.

I'd have said "Sorry sir, but it's our club, our food and our dress code. I believe Mcdonald's are more relaxed however"
Peeves me off when people dress like chavs to eat in high class restaurants.
One of the points of going to a restaurant with a dress code is that it discourages certain people from going there who you wouldn't want sitting at a table next to you.
In the same way that overly dressing up for a working men's club will get you trouble, it's the same for the restaurant.
Both groups have a dress code as part of their policy.
I may wear t-shirts and goth gear most of the time, but I do love to dress up for a fancy meal and I've never been turned down at a fancy place if making an effort.
It's part of the fun and the experience, IMHO.
Agreed - although I don't dress like a chav; if I do wear jeans (like the ones I'm wearing right now, at work) they're of the sandy-beige coloured variety, and a smart shirt plus jacket.
In a previous life I was *told* what to wear and how to wear it and I'm not doing that again.

The point is that michelin starred does not equal dress code.
Dress code does not imply Michelin star.
Michelin star does not imply dress code.
Some Michelin starred restaurants requiring dress code does not mean that all Michelin starred restaurants require dress code. Especially as, in my experience, most don't.
Return to the original question, where cojak is concerned that Mr C may have to wear a suit and tie. The only way to find out is to phone. But most times, you'll be fine.
I don't see dressing for dinner as a chore either. I've only ever dropped in to starred restaurants at a whim...
