It would be ridiculous and out of place. Just as much as t-shirts, jeans and ball caps are in Mahogany’s. And, really, if you’re paying for a nice restaurant, why wouldn’t you want to make it a little more special by dressing up a bit?

I feel as though you've manufactured a situation that doesn't really happen. If the restaurant doesn't have a dress code then you aren't really paying for ambiance, in which case, you're just being judgmental and uptight. The other side of that is that if the restaurant does have a dress code, then you won't see people wearing clothes that make you feel uncomfortable, which is nice if that's your thing.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I enjoy dressing up in nice clothing. It just doesn't bother me all that much when people fail to live up to my fashion standards so I have a difficult time relating to your concerns.
