My scale of 'nice'
Fast Food - no issue (usually a eat in car meal)
Family resturant - TGIF, Applebee's, Friendly's
Inbetween - Lone Star, Olive Garden
Nice - 4-5 Star, Candles on tables, hush hush, romantic (date type) - These are avoided except on the rare occassion.
Eating out has become more of a vacation thing for the most part.
With fuel prices eating out could be the vacation.
I'd agree with that scale. No kids in nice joints. But that doesn't seem to be what others are talking about here.
