Michelin starred restaurants place a lot of emphasis on ensuring YOU enjoy your meal. Professional service does not judge, and is not snooty the way movies depict.
I just ate at SAGA in NYC in January; the servers were amazingly knowledgeable, wonderfully approachable, and ours wore a jumpsuit and sneakers. Not snooty, but ask about the wine and they'll happily share a wealth of information about the region it's from.
If you leave a restaurant feeling worse because of a servers behavior then it's their fault, not yours.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI know couple of chefs at high end restaurants and they are good friends. They are also normal people and I don't think they would work at places that treat less fortunate people (say can only do something like this once a year, if ever) without respect. As long as you treat the waitstaff well and aren't loud and overbearing they love to have you in and enjoy the fine cooking. Just don't bring three screaming toddlers and leave $5 tip and you'll be fine if anyone is curious but hasn't gone on a food adventure. Myself I came from a poor upbringing and was pretty nervous about my first few high end restaurants as a 20 something with "new money".
