Best Points to Ponder when Choosing the Right Place for Fine Dining

By Brendon Volegna


Dining at a luxury restaurant is a wonderful way to relax and have great wine and food. Many parents have concerns about taking their children to a fine dining restaurant. There are tips that can help each family if you are planning to experience fine dining with children pleasurable and not embarrassing. If you have made reservations several days or a week before, you can practice good behavior and manner with your children at home.

Heavy sauces have given way to light ones, large portions to small. The restaurant must be kept in the public eye without seeming to be so. If given a choice, the restaurant operator selects only those guests who will probably be welcomed by the other guests. Doing this helps to create an air of exclusivity-one way to do this is to park the most expensive autos near the entrance for all to see (Rolls-Royces do well). It also helps to have celebrities at prominent table locations. Very expensive restaurants turn off many well-to-do guests and make others uncomfortable when they feel they don't fit in or dislike the implied snobbery of the guests or staff.

It can be a real hassle and distraction taking children to the restroom at a fine dining restaurant. Before you arrive, make sure the children have gone to the restroom. When most people attend a fine dining restaurant, it tends to be between 7pm and 9pm. This can be very late for children who may get hungry and cranky. Bring some snacks such as carrots or apple pieces for them to munch on while waiting for the main meal.

In the throes of severe economic recession, going out for fine dining may seem like reckless extravagance. Especially if you cook well and enjoy preparing sumptuous meals for your family and friends, you may frequently prefer to perform the chef's duties yourself, allocating the big budget for better quality food-better grades of meat and finer fresh vegetables and fruits. You must admit, however, every now and then it feels good to delegate the cooking, cleaning, and serving to professionals, letting them do the work and wait on you for a change.

To relieve yourself of all guilt, giving yourself freedom just to relax and enjoy a great meal, find a few fine dining restaurants that offer menu items you never-in-a-million-years would prepare at home. Because we usually learn food preparation from our mothers and grandmothers, we learn to cook the favorites from our own cultures. We seldom cross national or cultural boundaries in our everyday fare. Therefore, a healthy craving for international cuisine provides a perfect rationale for an evening of fine dining.
