\"proper\" dinner atttire
Hey guys...really stupid question, I know, but I'm pretty much a dolt when it comes to stuff like this.
I'm going to dinner tonight at a somewhat nice Italian place in Georgetown (in DC). I forgot to wear a jacket to work (don't need to wear jackets or ties at my office), and I don't have time to go home before dinner. Will I have a problem if I show up in a dress shirt, dress pants, and nice-ish shoes? The restaurant home page requests "proper attire" for dinner (lunch is casual), and I have no idea what that means. Why can't they just spell it out in plain English? Here's the restaurant homepage, if that helps any. Filomena Thanks in advance. -McGee |

Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
You should be fine -- they probably want to avoid t shirts and jeans. Few places require jackets anymore.
But if it is bugging you, just call and ask if they require men to wear jackets for dinner. |

I see mozzarella sticks on the dinner menu. You'll be fine.

You'll be fine. If they are jacket manatory, they'll loan you one. |

I can't imagine what "proper attire" would mean if not a sports coat/dinner jacket. If they actually stated this on their website my initial hunch would be jacket and tie are expected/required. Then again, what do I know.

Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
calling the restaurant and asking sounds like the correct play.

patches and they'll think your a local perfessor or a Democrat campaign worker [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: \"proper\" dinner atttire
I can't imagine this place caring if you are not wearing a jacket. I would probably go to a place like that wearing khakis and a sweater.
Also, I've been reading WAY too much OOT, I read this as "Pooper" dinner attire. |
