Quick question: We will be dining at Per Se soon and hail from Arizona, where even the finest restaurants are relatively casual. (When it's 115 degrees, a tie isn't going to happen!)
What is the appropriate attire for men and women at Per Se?
Thanks, as always.

Business casual.
Jeans are fine. Pair it with a jacket.
Tie is totally not necessary.

Like you we're from the west (LA) were "fine dining" means something much different than in other parts of the country/world. That being said, you certainly will NOT feel out of place in a suit.
As for me, I would wear jeans and a blazer in the salon, but not in the dining room. YMMV.

"Please note that jackets are required for both lunch and dinner service. Ties are optional. No jeans, t-shirts, shorts, or tennis shoes please."
I can't think of any restaurants in NYC where ties are required.

That's because there is none. The 21 Club was the last restaurant to require a tie, but they dispensed with that rule last year.

Ladies also cannot wear jeans or tennis shoes, in either the dining room or the salon.
