Get the Downtown Dining and Entertainment District mug.An overpriced restaurant with polyester tablecloths.
Actual "fine dining" restaurants rarely, if ever, call attention to themselves as such, just as a gentleman does not, by definition, call himself a gentleman.
Give-aways: excess text on the menu (see examples below), capitals on all restaurant-related terms, inflated prices, "house brands" of bottled water and similar, faux-luxe decor, cheap silverware, poor-quality ingredients in fussy recipe, abuse of any of the following: "oven-roasted" (never simply roasted), "sun-dried" (never simply dried), "French," "infused," &c, pretensions to internationalism despite solid Americanisms, like calling blue cheese or fromage bleu "bleu cheese."
Hallmarks of the service include having too many things done with you without your asking for them, such as removing the lid from ketchup bottles. They are normally pretentious, fussy, and ignorant about the food.

Jim: John, if you are going out with the Bill and the Marketing team for dinner tonight you need to use defensive dining when ordering. The last time I went with those guys they ordered the most expensive things on the menu and I got stuck paying $10 more than what I ordered.
