California Grill dress code. Can adults get by with nice jeans and dress shirt? Can kids wear nice shorts? Thank you.
I don't think this is a very nice thing to say. When a restaurant has a dress code, and I reserved it based on that dress code and the atmosphere provided by that I want that dress code to be enforced. Disney DOES NOT do a good job of this.Let me just add that if someone seriously has issues eating their meal because I'm not wearing what they think I should be wearing in a Disney park restaurant...They need a kind of help I'm not sure Disney can provide.

There shouldn't be any tank tops, flip flops, casual shorts and tees ect in Cali Grill by their own rules, yet you see it all the time because Disney doesn't like telling people it isn't ok to choose to break the rules at the expense of others. Yes, what other people choose to do in my presence absolutely effects my experience. To say it doesn't is willfully disregarding the obvious.
Hubby and I don't want to wear a suit and dress to Applebees for dinner, which is the atmosphere you get when everyone around you is in shorts and tees. People's behavior definitely changes based on clothing, its been proven by study after study. Casual restaurants are louder and more chaotic. That's not the expectation when booking a restaurant with this kind of dress code.
You are just being rude now.Awww...What I said wasn't nice? I'm sorry...
I mean are we being serious right now?
Tell me....Honestly...Does your food taste different because someone else is in a t-shirt and shorts? Nope...didn't think so...
I mean why would you be worried about what others are wearing rather than what and who is around the table in front of you? How would you even notice it?
Honestly, I could not even begin to tell you what someone is wearing in any restaurant I am in.
I do super nice restaurants for dinner meetings minimum 3 times a month. I dress up...but if someone showed up to The Sun Dial in a t-shirt & shorts and was let in despite the dress code...Not only would I not notice....If I did, I would not ask them to make him leave. hell I would likely just be jealous. He'd be far more comfortable than I am in my suit and tie...I certainly wouldn't care enough to ignore my wonderful glass of wine, cocktail or the food I am enjoying.
I'm sorry but, I just don't worry about things like that....
Maybe it's because I come from very humble beginnings, but I'm just there because I like the view and the food. Everything else is immaterial to me really...
I apologize if you feel I am being rude. That certainly was not my intention. Nor was it my intention to imply you were being a snob. I am sorry if you took it that way.You are just being rude now.
I don't go to a restaurant just for the food. If I did I would order what I wanted to the house or to go. It's about so much more for me, and I don't feel like I am in the wrong for that. YES, what someone else chooses to wear ABSOLUTELY has an influence on that experience.
Not caring is not the same thing as not noticing. You SEE the other diners. You just don't care. The fact that I and many others DO care doesn't make us bad people, or snobs as you seem to be implying, just different from you. I grew up poor. The very rare occasions we went out to eat were special. We dressed and conducted ourselves as was appropriate for the location or we didn't go.
I like the special experience of a nice restaurant. It isn't the same experience in Applbees as in a Michelin 5 star, it just isn't. A large part of that is based on the other patrons, how they dress, and how they conduct themselves. How people dress effects how they conduct themselves, It's human nature to tailor ones behavior to their surroundings. Part of those surroundings is how they and others are dressed.
If there isn't a dress code, then I definitely don't have a right to complain. If there is an expected dress code, then I feel like a patron has every right to be bothered by it not being enforced.
