Fine Dining
What do you consider fine dining when you go to a restaurant? Cost of food? Environment? Celebrity chef? Dress code?
I'm curious because I went to a place the other day that called itself find dining, and even though the bill came to $97 for me and a friend, where were people inside dressed in jeans, hoodies, sweat pants, tshirts, etc. The food wasnt that great, and the decor looked like something from the 70's.

"fine dining" is over used nomenclature designed to appeal to the modern foodie.
I generally just find places with the type of food I like or that have an interesting concept. If it's a joint that's going to turn me away for jeans and a nice button down then they don't deserve my business. I'm not going to pay $25 just for the appetizer if there's no hook beyond price or snoot.
I've paid $50/person and had a shitty time, and I've paid half that and been blown away. It really depends.
