tour d'argent
We are having dinner here and was wondering if a fairly dressy pantsuit would be appropriate? I hate to take up luggage room with a dress and shoes that I would only wear one time.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by a dressy pantsuit. If you mean evening wear - this is absolutely not necessary.
Any pretty silk pantsuit or sophsticated skirt/top - like you would wear out to dinner at any nice restaurant is fine.

A lightweight dress and cardigan wopuld take up less space than a pants suit. I know both parts of the suit cna probably be worn separately, but so could a dress/skirt and silk/cashmere cardigan.

I've been there for lunch in jeans. They looked at me strangely, but other than that they said nothing.
If they want you to dress up, ask them to buy the clothing. They can certainly afford to do so for what they charge.

"If they want you to dress up, ask them to buy the clothing."
While you're at it, might as well ask them to pay for your manners lessons.
Nothing irks me more than going to a very fine and expensive place that requests people to dress up and being seated next to a slob who feels he's better than the "rules". And I can't imagine being comfortable with the staff looking at me strangely for the way I'm dressed.

Hi rb,
This is a very expensive, upscale restaurant. When we were there people were very well dressed. While I think pants would be fine (don't remember seeing any there though on women) I think perhaps you could use accessories to dress them up. Also, a great pair of dress shoes and/or handbag would probably do the trick.
Great food and service. We do not speak or read French and our waiter was very kind and helpful. Hope you have a great experience.

Dear A and R,
The point here is not whether you are comfortable, but that you are making the people around you uncomfortable.
It is discourteous and disrespectful to the other diners to dress inappropriatley.
I do hope that you turn your cell phone off.
