As for dressing up like a blues brother, no man, just no.
If I did eat at a hotel restaurant, it would only be because I'm overly tired. So, smart casual at best....if not full casual.
If it was a proper posh restaurant then I'd wear a shirt. Otherwise I'm in day-to-day attire (t-shirt, socks and nappy).
Eating out is not enough of an occasion to justify changing.
Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to eat in some very swish restaurants, and the only dress code most have is don't turn up looking like you've not washed for a while. Ones with a stuffy dress code tend to be shite, and nowhere near as good as they think they are.
If I'm going out for a meal with my good lady, I will put some nice gear on.
Nothing wrong with a good pair of white trainers either - they can look uber cool with the right suit. Depends if you can carry it off.
Theres a place in the Shard, with a dress code of sorts. It lists things you can;t wear but they have a caveat: if you adhere to the dress code, but don't look good enough, you will still be refused entry. WANKERS. Now that sort of thing really gets my chuff.
Also saw one bar in the USA, with a hilarious dress code. it was a long list of stuff, but what really made me laugh was the line that said "no overly loose clothing". WTF is that then? A Kaftan?
I wore my dinosaur pyjamas.
It didn't appear to be a special occasion - my guess is that they dressed for dinner every night as a matter of course and weren't going to do things any differently just because they were eating in the local Asian restaurant rather than at home.
I don't bother dressing smartly for dinner, unless it's really formal. I haven't worn a suit since the last murder case.....

I'll certainly make an effort if I'm going to a nice restaurant, but would stop short of a tie. In fact, despite wearing a suit for work, I think the last time I wore a tie was to a wedding 18 months ago.
(Also, I like the fact that I knew who had started this thread just from the title.)
Load of nonsense. Be comfortable.
Obviously it crossed my mind that what I was seeing, like a scene out of the Cazalets, might not be so very unusual in Winchester, but I haven't seen anything quite like it anywhere else and I've seen my fair share of travelling and restaurants.
So, dressing for dinner doesn't feature large in my life.
Mate, a good fitting suit is a great thing. Doesn't have to cost the earth, just stick to wool, dark colours, and get it altered to fit properly. A suit off the peg hardly fits anyone right: sleeves too long, kecks too long, shoulders too wide, waist of jacket too flabby.
A hundred quid suit from topman, if well altered will look superb. Add in a good t shirt/shirt, good shoes, you's the man.
If I'm at a hotel I'm probably on holiday or at a wedding. If it's a wedding I'll be in a suit anyway but I'll be fucked if I'm wasting precious holiday luggage space with a suit.
As for ties, can we just abolish them, please? We've finally gone business-casual at work, unless you're seeing the kind of clients who give a shit (it's a major corporate financial services affair, so there are still plenty of those clients) and there are STILL people under the age of 40 who insist on sitting at their desk all day wearing a full suit AND tie. Some don'will even do a full day without taking their jacket off. I can understand liking having a "work uniform", but I find that baffling. It's not like they're great, fashion-conscious dressers who look great. They look bloody awful, some of em. But yet it continues.
Only ever in hotels for work. If its dinner with some level of hierarchy (senior managers, or the other way - apprentices) Id have jeans and a shirt/polo.
In a premier inn for 2 weeks on a course, in the same restaurant everyday. Jogging bottoms and the most offensive T-shirt I can find, complete with yesterdays dinner stains on.
