Chef's Table Dress Code Specifics?

[gblcsw1]

I know that the dress code says 'formal" for Chef's Table. Just wondering if men wear tuxedos. We are sailing Caribbean in July.

 

Thanks!

My husband wore a nice dress shirt and dress pants and he fit right in. The odd person was in a tux but you will get away with a regular suit or even a nice shirt.

Yes - I wear a tux when I dine in the Chefs Table.

When we did chefs table my husband wore dress pants and dress shirt with a tie and sport jacket. I wore a dress. We were the odd ones. Everyone else just had a dress shirt and pants for the men and a nice pants suit or dress pants and dressy shirt for the women. My husband ended up removing his jacket.

We did Chef's table during formal and 3 of us wore tuxs and the other 3 gowns or dresses.

If we do Chefs Table on a formal night I wear gown and DH wears a tux. If we dine there on any other night I wear a nice dress and he wears an open collar shirt and sports jacket.

I usually wear dressy pants, a nice top, and some bling. DH usually wears linen pants, button down shirt, and linen jacket. We've done Chef's Table, but never on formal night, and always in the Caribbean where things tend to be a little more laid back.

 

We saw a variety of dress, ranging from nice-casual to dressy. We haven't seen any tuxedos at our past Chef's Tables (3), but hey...go for the tux if you want - it's kind of sexy and 007ish...!:p

Unless it's formal night, I don't wear a tux. We have done 4 Chef's Table (never on Formal Night) and I wear a sport coat, dress shirt, and dress pants. No tie. The first few times I wore a tie and I was the only one wearing one. But most people dress nicely. It's a nice event. Sport coat and dress shirt is definitely appropriate, and a tie is not out of order. For that matter, a tux is also quite appropriate.

By "tux" do you mean "tuxedo" which I understand is American for dinner jacket or suit, and may even include a white jacket in the US?

 

In Australia we're more traditional, perhaps, and a dinner jacket is still a dinner jacket, and trousers are still trousers, not "pants", which are tiny garments we use as underwear, and very useful they are too.

a Tux is NOT a dinner jacket or suit in America. it is a tux.. Black pants(usually with the satin stripe), black (short) jacket, cummerbund and bow tie. you will not see the white jacket that often.

 

a suit is a matching pair of slacks and full length jacket, sometimes double breasted., vests optional. typically wool, silk or linen and of lighter weight. worn with a tie.

 

a dinner jacket or Sport coat is usually heavier weight, meant to be worn unbuttoned and will not always match the slacks. rarely is worn with a tie.

 

at Chef's table, we wear Formal if it is Formal night( although he does own a white Tux jacket and will bring that to trade off with the black one) or slightly dressy on other nights. at minimum a sport coat for him. I am pretty much always in a dress. below the knee, nicer jewelry.

We did Chefs Table on Oasis in Dec. on formal night and one woman wore "short shorts." Go figure. Not even formal short shorts!!!

 

DH wore dress shirt, tie and jacket. I wore dress slacks and fancy top.

 

No one from staff said a word to woman in shorts. Seems that as long as they get your $$$ they look the other way.

We did Chef's Table on the Allure last December on the first night. I wore black pants and a shirt (no tie or jacket) and my GF wore a dress. Rest of the people were like that.

I could be wrong but I think a "dinner jacket" is what we call a tuxedo.
