I, a man of scottish decent (I'm about 1/4 scottish), tried to wear a kilt to a restaurant before going to my cousins wedding. I believe I was in Fresno, and we were trying to find a decent restaurant that wasn't called 'Denny's' or 'McDonalds'. We happened upon what seemed like a pretty decent place and we (I think we were a party of 9 or 10) went in to be seated. They took one look at me and, after rolling up their tongues and closing their mouths, asked if I had brought pants. I was confused, as I'm sure you were reading my post. I asked if there was a rule against wearing a kilt, and informed them that I was in fact earing boxers underneith. They said there was no rule, but they didn't have a rule against fighting either. Apparently the kilt rule is covered by the unbrella of the 'we reserve the right to refuse service' rule. Dismaied, I went and changed into a pair of slacks I had back at the hotel. I've tried it at several restaurants, even very nice upper class ones downtown. Same result almost all of the time. The only time I was allowed to wear a kilt at a restaurant was at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco. They were quite nice (realyl good food and great staffing). I think I even got a whistle. I'd say if you really really want to wear a kilt to a restaurant in the US, call ahead.
