Husband was planning to wear a suit--do people wear suits to restaurants anymore? Fri Dec 29 15:28:12 -0800 2006 52889 rcsimm 1 2136740 I went there a couple of months ago for dinner on a week night. There was a variety of dress, some casual (jeans, button down shirt) to business/church attire. I don't think you should feel like you HAVE to get really dressed up, unless you just want to. Have a great dinner there. BTW, I definitely recommend getting the grits souffle that has a thin layer of foie gras on top. It is heaven!

I think that wearing jeans is underdressing a bit (and this is from someone who pretty much doesn't own anything but jeans) but you won't feel out of place whichever you wear. And save room for dessert. Karen Barker is a goddess!

It can get slightly chilly if you're seated by the door (not drafty, but cool) so I usually bring a cardigan if I'm wearing short sleeves or something sleeveless.
