What type of music is played in fancy restaurants?

Can you guys comment on the type of music played in some fancy restaurants you have been to, and the atmosphere of it? (How does it look, how do the people dress and act). I am writing a report and this information would be valuable. Thanks so much guys.



Specific Restaurant names would help.What type of music is played in fancy restaurants?
Classical music or some sort of live instrumental music that will not immediately bring lyrics to mind and will in no way interfere with conversation. The idea is to provide a relaxing experience and allow patrons to concentrate on the food, atmosphere and their companions.



To be considered a "fancy" (elegant might be a better word) restaurant it generally must have:



Adequate and convenient parking or valet parking

A coatroom

Acceptance of all major credit cards

A pleasant bar where guests can wait to be seated

A maitre' de

A hostess (or host) who will seat you. That includes pulling the chair out and often, placing the napkin on your lap

An attentive bus person who will quickly provide water and will remove unnecessary silverware from your table. For instance, the table was set for four, but there are only two of you.

Cloth table covers, usually a solid color

Good art - the quality you would see in a museum

Excellent decor - rich textures and colors

Extremely attentive servers and bus people - servers who know the menu well and can explain dishes as to content and preparation

an extensive list of high quality wines and a full bar with top line alcohol (Grey Goose vs Svodka, Dewars vs J.%26amp; B Scotch; more beer than Busch)

Silverware vs flatware

China or high quality dinnerware

Cloth napkins that match the tablecloths

Crystal glassware

NO PLASTIC ANYTHING

A menu that includes original recipes and highest quality cuts of meat, fish, fowl





As for the PATRONS they should:



Be dressed in nothing less than business casual. NO BALL CAPS, tennis shoes, shorts and generally no jeans.

No cell phone ringing / talking

Only extremely well behaved children, not usually less than three years old

No loud talk



Hope that helps.What type of music is played in fancy restaurants?
