When Specialties were first started and even to this day they want to get people into the restaurants to PAY for the dining there. Its a money maker plain and simple and causing people to bring fancy clothes will hinder that purpose. I understand your point but the logic is a bit flawed. A specialty restaurant that is supposed to have better food, service and ambiance has a more casual dress code than the main dining room? That's the only point I'm trying to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point and in a way it doesn’t make sense like you said, I’m just saying that’s why they have always been casual .

When you say specialty restaurant. I think of the type of restaurant. French, Italian, Japanese, etc.. The ribeye's I've had in Luminae have been better than the ribeye I had in Tuscan Grille or The Lawn Club Grill. The night before our dinner at The Lawn Club Grill I asked if I could wear shorts to dinner. I was told yes, not a problem. In the end I wore long pants. Personally my favorite specialty restaurant is The Porch. 2015 was the last time we dined in the MDR. We were just on Millie dining in Blu. On chic night our friends were dressed up. She wore a long dress and he wore tux with tails. I wore black jeans and a long sleeved shirt. Other nights I wear grey jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zitsky the helipad you are supposed to wear closed toe footwear - preempting your question🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helipad is a staff area not a guest area so it will have different rules for health and safety. Having visited a few times I have always been glad to be in sensible shoes. Stepping over the bulkhead, walking up open metal stairs….Plenty of ways to stub your toe! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aruzinski Posted October 22, 2021 #73 Share Posted October 22, 2021 It seems most people do not want to get dressed up these days, but we like the opportunity to be formal and dress up. We typically dine in Murano on any chic night and dress to the hilt. It may not be for everyone, but it is one part of what makes fine dining so special. I do notice that the servers do appreciate the effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
