"Casual upscale dining". Oxymoron or not. You be the judge.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I believe that means the food and drinks will be very expensive, but you can wear your shorts and sandals.ulysses5019 wrote:"Casual upscale dining". Oxymoron or not. You be the judge.

Re: Just saw a sign...
I agree completely with the oxymoron. The problem is people today are changing
everything "upscale" to casual, from fine dining to going to a Broadway play, the ballet or the
symphony. Instead of wearing our very best, you'll see jeans and tennis shoes and it's perfectly
acceptable. Not perfectly acceptable to me, but nothing I can do about it.

Some people have the audacity to wear animal print blouses to Little Black Dress Parties just because they like to be different.kayrharris wrote:I agree completely with the oxymoron.

Hey, it's MY party and I'll wear what I want!
I needed to be
a bit different as the hostess. That's it.

That's the restaurant at the Basking Ridge Country Club here. Golfers don't want to put on ties after their game. That's why it's my kind of place.ulysses5019 wrote:"Casual upscale dining". Oxymoron or not. You be the judge.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

My thoughts about the dining is that this is where the guy who didn't check his credit report at freakincreditreport.com is playing the guitar.
