Balthazar--what to wear?

I have reservations for this restaurant. I've heard it's a really nice place. So what does that mean that DH and I should wear? I can't seem to find that info online anywhere. Thanks for any info.

We were there in August and saw everything from very casual to very dressy. Nice jeans were the most common.

Hip designer jeans, cool shoes, coat or leather jacket. Downtown hip.

Exactly as eveyone else replied! It is just a chic restaurant, so whatever you feel looks good! Have fun! It's a great place....if you like French, also try Patsis. Have a great time.

It's a nice restaurant but not the dim-lit, chic and quiet ambiance type of nice restaurant; it can actually get quite loud at times; I agree with above, city chic casual..... I wear jeans and a nice blazer....

Try to be sure there is enough black in your ensemble

Tight, black and high heeled..would be the way one could describe most outfits, whether they are wearing jeans or whatever.
Carry a good purse

Thank you for all of the suggestions! I'm not sure how "cool" I'll look (I'm pregnant), but I will think on this! Ha.

Congratulations! Have fun, forget what I said about high heels LOL

Forget all the hip, trendy talk. Just look "casual neat" for want of a better phrase) and you'll be fine!
I hope you've made reservations...or will be making them far in advance.

I've walked into Balthazar a few times without reservations but it was never for dinner. Besides, you have reservatios.

Wear one of those tee-shirts with the arrow that points down to your tummy and says BABY. And Scarletts right to diss those heels. It's not a really dressy place. You'll be fine.

Oh, you guys are nice. I am still going to try and look nice though, and I don't mind wearing heals.

Thanks for all the advice!
