Shulas Dress Code

[FigNewton]

So, go ahead and wear it - I'm sure they'll let you in..as I said, the only place that really adheres to it is V&A...but keep in mind that it is somewhat inconsiderate to others...the people who wanted an upscale evening and chose a signature place for that reason.
If your daughter decides she wants a black tie affair for her wedding, I doubt she'll be pleased if you show up in shorts and t-shirt....that won't mean she's just an angry person who needs to b..... about others all the time.

Inconsiderate? IMO it's inconsiderate to expect people to adhere to a more strict standard than the purveyor of the venue establishes.

Except you took it one step further by saying swimtrunks and a stained t-shirt.

I've worn and will wear t-shirts to signature restaurants many times. Never has my shirt been stained (all such shirts are relegated to garden/workout attire and I wouldn't even wear one to a park).

T-shirts are expressly permitted in the terms of the dress code. If certain people really can't deal with seeing t-shirts at CG or other signature meals, there's always V&A.

They will admit you with a t-shirt, provided there is nothing offensive on it, but this is the establishments' stated preference:
Dress Code Guidelines:
Men: Khakis, slacks, jeans, dress shorts, collared shirts. Sport coats are optional.
Ladies: Capris, skirts, dresses, jeans, dress shorts.

Why would you not expect people to change out of park attire and into somewhat nicer clothes before going to a fine dining establishment? That is what I do every single time I go to dinner at a signature restaurant. If you aren't prepared to do that, maybe you should not be eating at the signature restaurants.

I agree, but it is up to Disney (and the Swan and Dolphin) to enforce the dress code and for whatever reason they choose to look the other way in many cases.

Sadly, if you have the $$ to pay for the meal, Disney rarely cares what you wear.

Noone in this thread has expressed any anger - so I don't know where the judgemental attitude is coming from.
W're discussing whether or not it's appropriate to wear t-shirt, shorts and flip flops to a signature restaurant that has a dress code.
You obviously think it's fine. So, go ahead and wear it - I'm sure they'll let you in..as I said, the only place that really adheres to it is V&A...but keep in mind that it is somewhat inconsiderate to others...the people who wanted an upscale evening and chose a signature place for that reason.

It must suck to be so angry.

If you can't see the difference between a wedding and a stake house that gets most of it's traffic because it's near a tourist destination.... well that's laughable. And bringing someones family into a topic like this wow very classy .

Which my suggestion of sundress and khaki shorts with polo shirt fits perfectly into....see previous post with copied dress code for Shula's....

 

[LaurenT]

you're the one who is obviously angry...
using an example of dress codes for a wedding is not "bringing someone's family into it"...
and you are the only poster in this thread who is calling people names...

ETA - and I'm done responding to you...you can post again and have the last word...

 

[Ed J]

Yes a dress code that permits T's and shorts.

Find a place that requires a jacket, problem solved.

 

[Rip]

Well....yes...PP said t-shirts, shorts and flip flops, to which you replied that you are surprised that people don't fully expect this attire...

Said nothing about "daisy dukes, tube tops, and stained up t-shirts". That was embellishment on your part. PP said nothing about any of that, either.

Um, because it's the largest theme park in the world?

Lucky for me, your opinion means exactly nothing. Maybe if you don't like looking at people dressed in ways which you find distasteful, you should leave the property and go somewhere that has an enforced dress code more to your liking?

Sometimes we wind up in a signature restaurant on a spur of the moment decision, and while we don't dress in wife beaters and tube tops, we do on occasion wear clean t-shirts and sandals. I suggest if that offends you, then you should find another establishment that disallows it.

 

[LaurenT]

Wow...yes it was embellishment.
But your response was not to my embellishment...you said you were surprised that everyone didn't expect T-shirts, shorts and flip flops...
I am just trying to explain why some of us like to sit in a nice restaurant, surounded by other nicely dressed people and have an elegant evening...we shouldn't have to eat at V&A every night to get that.
The dress code does not include t-shirts...they will still let you in with one - but it is the restaurants recommendation that you at least have a collared shirt, ie: a polo shirt. And I am saying that there are other patrons who will appreciate it if the rest of the guests make an attempt to meet the dress code. That's all. Shula's won't kick you out if you show up in a t-shirt.

You said my daughter, that is not "bringing someone's family into it"? no need to answer that, as you said you were going to bow out.


Does anyone know of a restaurant(stake house) that does have a dress code that requires a jacket on the same scale of Shula's in the area?

 

[Rip]

Never understand why people pay so much money to worry about what the people at the next table are wearing or what the kids across the room are doing. I eat at places that I enjoy and with people that I enjoy eating with and 99.99% of the time have no clue who what is next to me or what heppened around me.... I found out later by asking as people were talking when we were leaving that a table directly behind us won a night in the castle a few years ago... did not notice when it happened

Bingo. If people want "ambiance", they should go to a place that enforces a dress code compatible to their tastes. It's absurd to go to a place like Disney and complain about how people eating are dressed or whether they bring their kids with them.

Actually, yes, it does. T-shirts aren't recommended, but they are also not prohibited - therefore, they are included in the dress code by definition.

I'm not particularly interested in what some busybody thinks of my attire, actually. The simplest advice I could give them would be to simply mind their own business and enjoy their meal. If they are unable to do that, it's 100% their problem, not a bit of mine.

You stop WAY to early.

"While t-shirts are now allowed, the policy remains that t-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics are NOT acceptable."

This isn't just a case of staff agreeing to look the other way on non-offensive clothing. They are EXPRESSLY permitted.

I'm sorry if you don't like it but that's the way it is. I'm sorry if you feel you have to go to V&A to have that atmosphere you are looking for. I'm thankful there are plenty of places I can eat upscale food and still feel like I am relaxed and on vacation.

So first she greatly embelishes something I said, then she outright lies about the dress code in order to justify her opinion.

Classic.

LOL...Why the name calling?
First, I did not embellish something you said, I exaggerated MY example to make a point..so don't think it's always about you.
Second..where did I lie?
Their guidlines are exactly as I posted...that is what they recommend. They don't list t-shirts in their guidline, they go on after their recommended dress to say that they will allow them now - as long as they are not offensive..which excactly what I said..I said they will not kick you out for wearing a t-shirt! Geesh...get over yourself and stop calling everyone who has a differing opinion liars!

 

[di19]

so how many times do you just unexpectedly pop into a signature restaurant? I think what's great about Disney is the available choices - be it hotels or restaurants - but I have long thought that when dining at a signature restaurant (usually a planned event) one should "dress up" at least a little bit - even if it's in "Disney" ; oh and btw is anyone else dying to say "stake is s-t-e-a-k" come on you know you are

 

[Ed J]

Yea some people should learn to spell

I just "popped in" to California Grill this weekend and like a PP, do it quite often. We happened to be dressed OK for Cali Grill but there were lots of very causal patrons. Didn't bother me one bit.

1) saying someone lied is not nearly the same thing as calling them a liar. I wouldn't say you lied, personally, but you did intentionally omit the statement that t-shirts are allowed. Your statements before would imply that in not turning you away for a t-shirt they simply aren't strictly enforcing the dress code, which is fallacious because t-shirts are expressly allowed in the dress code. You omitted the statement because it harmed your position.

2) No form of the word "recommend" appears in the dress code.

No matter how you cut it, I'm arguing from the policy as it is written. My argument is based on fact. Your argument is based on opinion and the desire to impose your desired standards on other people. If you think Disney should change the policy, that's cool and I really have no problem with that. But as long as the policy expressly allows non-offensive t-shirts then you are seriously crossing a line when attempting to guilt people about what they wear.
