It's possible that JV dress code has changed since we were there in 2001, but at that time, there was definitely a jacket required at lunch.
|
careful guys, DH still sys he's not taking a jacket and is trying to convince me I'll like Altitude 95 just as much.
|
Last-ditch solution: you could arrange to go to Jules Verne by yourself. If you really want to go and your spouse won't cooperate, that's the only thing to do.
|
I still don't understand the problem with a jacket. Is it a matter or principle, comfort, or what?
|
Oh, yeah, Altitude 95 is a LOT like Jules VERne. NOT
He will be OK--as that meants--for lunch with this good looking sweater--please, no shorts with them. I would still like for him to have a jacket-- but it is apparently just too much |
Had lunch at JV in 2000. Most men were in jackets but I remember a few just in dress shirts. Yes they were American. It's not about it being a michelin starred place it's about the fact that the restuarant has dress codes. Many do all over the world.
IMO your husband should just wear a jacket end of discussion, BUT this is you, not me. So why don't you call the restaurant and ask if there is a jacket required policy for lunch? |

JULES VERNE DRESS CODE? I THINK NOT!
In June our family of 5 arrived at Jules Verne for our luncheon reservation. The two gentlemen toted jackets and ties for the occasion and we were seated without a problem in a fairly mediocre area. We ordered, dined, etc. Sometime in the middle of our dining a family of four was seated near us. In shorts, no jacket, no tie, drinking cokes, etc. I wouldn't worry about the dress code as they clearly want to fill the tables. By the way, the food wasn't all that great and the maitre 'd had attitude. I will not be back for an encore. |
Hi sell,
May I suggest that you just make the reservation and let him wear what he wants? If they won't seat him, you can give him a haughty look. If they do seat him, you can tell him that you would have gotten a better table if he had worn a jacket. :) |
good thinking IRA --the old the best defence theory
|
>......just as is the absolutely inane remark by Ira about people not wearing black in Paris.<
Well, TM, if you want to look soooo 2003, ..... |
Going to Paris is November. If they are not wearing black - what color is "in" this season.
|
orange is the new black
brown is the new orange :) |
Hi nopro,
Color is in this year. All the people who used to to tout black as being the best look and color so unappealing, are now touting colors. La plus ca change..... |
OK, girls, get those hot pink jogging suits out of the mothballs!
I couldn't help but notice this summer in windows all the orange, brown, and black. It looked like Halloween was coming! |
no problem with the dressy sweater at lunch--American guy next to us was in jeans--good food but are we ever talking expensive--I still thought it was worth it for the experience
|
How much was it for lunch? My husband and I are considering it. Also, how far in advance do you need to make lunch reservations? We are going in one month.
|
I'd book it as soon as you can. We booked lunch 3 months in advance for a Saturday this December as we couldn't get a dinner reservation for a Friday night.
|
Selltile - Why not just pack his jacket yourself and if he refuses to wear it leave him standing at the door while you graciously take your seat and order your meal without him. He can then go to Altitude 95 and dine and meet up later.
This post reminds me of an earlier post about men wearing jackets. Can someone clue me in as to what causes men to detest jackes so much? I just don't get it. Take Care Jackie |
