nupur: they are still only references, and set as an example to put across a point.. have realised that totally impersonal posts can become cold and uninteresting.. so what can i say.. you live, you learn :)

silverine: which they should announce beforehand, in the same ad where they invited people to check out their fare..

Well..restaurants do have their dress rules and if everyone else has no problem adhering with it then I guess we should leave it at that.

I was in no way trying to justify their action. what they did to you was improper and rude.

stone: i didnt want them to, so i have refrained from taking names..

pearl: agree, but formal dinners are by invitation and the dress code is clearly specified.. and as for temples, we are devotees there.. in a restaurant, i am a customer, paying for the meal i am about to have.. isnt there a difference??

I have a slightly different take on this. See, it is this way, we have to understand that certain places follow certain rules. One is NOT supposed to wear denim for a formal black tie sit down dinner.Don't temples in south India ( Padmanabha Swamy Temple, Tvm, Guruvayoor, for instance) insist on a proper dress code ?

deez: not a bad habit at all. one of these days, i see myself changing the line, and putting on yours :).. as they say, sometimes the inspired is better than the inspiration...

parna: i merely said i would wait for one hour if i had to, and sat, all wet, on their plush leather sofa :)

totally sucky Manu. should have hollered murder. really! we did that once in a 5 star hotel which refused to serve us coffee just cause we did not ask for some food. heck! we were not even asking for booze, which i understand from people perspective. we created a ruckus and spoke with the manager. made them serve us coffee. complimentary. wasn't all that comfortable post the ruckus. but we got heard :)

power to my gramma! SHE refused herself admission into ANY restaurant! She didnt consider them kosher enough to serve her!haha! She would always have her flattened rice (poha/aval) and eat that. I am slowly getting there too.

Ironically I had an experience of the opposite kind last Saturday. I went to this fancy looking restaurant, where I was to meet a friend. Got totally drenched on the way. As my friend had not yet arrived, I was planning to wait outside. But the people at the restaurant asked me if I wanted to wait inside. :-). But to add to what you were saying, many of the newly opened places have signs like 'Right to Admission Reserved' which feels very pre-1947 like. Its quite unfortunate. btw, the restaurant above had that sign too.

Take all your friends, all wet and drippy and barge in. Then look around, shake your heads and barge out. Do this as often as possible :)
