I think people sometimes overlook the fact that going to a restaurant is an opportunity to experience something beyond simply satisfying our hunger.Obviously, you should consider the type of establishment you are visiting when deciding what to wear. Chipotle is a casual environment, while a more upscale restaurant may call for a greater degree of formality. IMO, part of being a considerate person is understanding the environment you are entering and making an effort to dress appropriately. I also think there is a time and place for clothing that is more revealing, and people should exercise some discretion in this regard.Beyond attire, I believe restaurants offer us an opportunity to explore different cuisines and, by extension, different cultures. Trying a new dish can be a small but meaningful way of expanding our understanding of the world. Rather than automatically ordering what is familiar, perhaps we should occasionally challenge ourselves to experience something outside our comfort zone.

I think there are a few basic principles people should follow when ordering at a restaurant.First, if you know what you want, there is no reason to spend ten minutes studying the menu while everyone else waits! On the other hand, if you need more time, simply tell the server and allow the rest of the table to order first.I also believe people should be willing to try something new from time to time. If you order the exact same meal every time you visit a restaurant, you may be missing out on some excellent food! There is nothing wrong with knowing what you like, but IMO there is a difference between having preferences and refusing to expand them.Another thing I would suggest is that people treat their servers with respect, regardless of how much money they are spending. A person bringing you a cheeseburger is no less deserving of common courtesy than anyone else performing a job.Finally, I think everyone should make an effort to be ready to order when the server returns, rather than acting surprised that the person who took your drink order has come back to take your food order.These are all relatively simple things, but I think following them makes the experience better for everyone involved.

Restaurant ordering can also be an opportunity for men to demonstrate their knowledge of fine dining. A man who understands the difference between a properly prepared filet mignon and an inferior cut of beef is demonstrating a certain level of sophistication. However, I believe it is important that he does not make his date feel intellectually inferior in the process. The purpose of a dinner date should be to establish a connection, not to turn the meal into a competition of culinary knowledge.I have also noticed that some men make the mistake of ordering the most expensive item on the menu simply to demonstrate their financial success. IMO, this is a rather primitive form of dominance. A truly sophisticated man understands that the quality of his choices is more important than their monetary value. There is little wisdom in spending $85 on a steak if one cannot appreciate the difference between that steak and a $35 steak.
