nice for a romantic meal, but not for a chilled meal

I like dinning out in fine restaurants. I pay between $12 and $25, I prefer the less expensive places, but we indulge from time to time.

They're good for special occasions where you're supposed to be fancy. But I'd be more comfortable where I can eat with my hands, use my sleeve as an extra napkin and let out a nice burp and not get any strange looks.

Fine dining usually means a nice meal, stuffy is how you define stuffy. Eating mitts to mouth out of a recyclable box with a "Mc" on it, isn't fine dining. Sitting down in what usually passes as a suit/tie or evening dress, enjoying an aperitif with your meal ( not snack) and with friends isn't stuffy. If it is, you need to find other friends or yours need to. Having a meal that makes you remember where it was served, is what makes "fine dining" a fine experience.

Too stuffy and not worth it.

Nice sometimes for a special occasion, nothing is stuffy if you make yourself comfortable in the atmosphere.

It depends on what you mean by "fine dining." My hometown isn't the place to go to find a five-star restaurant, but we've got more than our fair share of upscale chain places. I tend to find, though, that the fancier the restaurant, the less able I am to digest what they serve. I'm a good Midwesterner: meat and potatoes are my meat and potatoes.

I cant afford them so to me it dont matter.
-
A "nice" restaurant occasionally is nice for a special occasion, but I'm not comfortable going to such restaurants on a regular basis. To me, they are over-priced and yes, "stuffy." I was born in the south and grew up in the midwest. I'm a meat and potatoes, BBQ, pizza kind of gal, and so are my friends and family.

The foods taste different than drive throughs.
-
I'd prefer an intimate home cooked meal any day!
-
i think its a good place to have a meal
-
A general meaning of fine dining is good food. Moreover, for occasions, they can be a good place to look for.
