Has anyone been there and would you say the majority of men are actually in jackets? I can do that, but would like to know if most men only really have dress shirts and khaki's. Oh ya, and how's the food? Mon Nov 02 11:37:18 -0800 2009 23587 Jenkins 1 5151408 The food is very good, service is exceptional and for men in the dining room, jacket is required...

I would say about half of the gentlemen wear a jacket. I've never felt out of place without. Food is excellent. We actually went for restaurant week last year and we're very pleased.
