Fine dining restaurants are full service restaurants with specific dedicated meal courses. Décor of such restaurants feature higher quality materials with an eye towards the “atmosphere” desired by the restaurateur. The waiting staff is usually highly trained and often wears more formal attire. The presentation of food in fine dining restaurants is always precise. When dining in a fine dining restaurant it is most important to observe dining etiquette correctly. Fine dining restaurants are far more expensive than casual restaurants.
