As any restaurateur will tell you, there is a big difference between fine dining and simply good food. The word "fine" is a curious one, with seemingly endless meanings. Ask someone how they are, and if they say fine, they mean something pretty neutral. A fine margin is one that is very narrow indeed. While if you open your mail in the morning and the word fine appears at the top of one of your letters then things are far from fine. When it comes to fine dining, the meaning of the word fine on this occasion is closest to the second - exact, precise, not far away from perfect.
So fine dining does not mean OK, and naturally it also does not mean that you will have to pay a penalty for eating it - although it is unlikely to come cheap. It means cooked to a level of precision, accompanied with just the right wine and served in a way that removes any margin for complaint. Far from being just like any other dining experience, fine dining is about eating food that you will remember for some time, i
n conditions that are second to none. Fine dining is not will this do, it is more along the lines of this is perfect.
There is a time and a place for the will this do brand of cooking. If you have to grab something quickly because you have somewhere else to be, then a quick, convenient bite to eat is more than acceptable. If you are on your own, then you should eat whatever suits you best. But if you have someone you want to impress, then the brand of cooking you should be looking for is more along the lines of this is perfect. This is where you need fine dining - not dining that is yeah, fine.
All of the above may seem whimsical, but it is a serious point. Fine dining is something that can win you serious points when it comes to making the right impression. Nobody will want to be the person who loses out on a contract because they took the potential investor out to a substandard restaurant. The concept of fine dining is designed to make sure you do not need to be that person. The food is excellent, the wine is perfectly chosen and the service is remarkable.
