Can you remember the last time you looked at old photographs of your parents when they were dating? If you are of a certain age, odds are, your father was sporting a suit and tie, and your mother was wearing an impeccably tailored dress. Back then, the fluffier the skirt, the fancier the restaurant and evening festivities. Fine dining Orlando restaurants insisted that men wear jackets and ties and women be appropriately dressed. It became the fabric of society in the northeastern urban areas such as New York, Boston, and Washington, DC.
Do you recall what a special event it was to go out to dinner with your family? Everyone got dressed up and most children were never taken to a restaurant until they were at least five. You would be hard pressed to find a high chair in a dining establishment.
Over the years, the idea of fine dining was slowly transformed as the population continued to move its eyes west. With the advent of a different approach to cuisine being developed and a new diverse lifestyle being embraced, it can be argued that California helped define the new parameters of fine-dining in America.
In today’s very busy and fast-paced world, the majority of us consider going out to dinner almost a necessity to help keep life balanced. Most of the time, we sprint into a fast-food or casual chain-type restaurant where service is quick and the food is okay. Families have their children in tow and the ambience is noisy and upbeat. People are dressed in everything from shorts and flip-flops to jeans and polos. Some are dressed in business casual (for men, that’s a suit or a sports jacket and pants; for women, it’s a dress, skirt or pantsuit) but that’s usually not the case. For most of us, there is nothing special about the family going out to dinner; it is just a part of everyday life.
We all desire and enjoy breaking away and experiencing something different. It’s so important to make the time to reconnect with friends, your spouse, or that special someone. We crave sitting and relaxing in a wonderfully appointed restaurant where the staff will not hurry you through your meal–where you won’t have to shout over the music to hold a conversation. All of us secretly desire having a reason to dress up a little; most women enjoy having a reason to glam up and well, men do to.
