I remember, my big challenge, when I came back from USA, was to open a fine dining restaurant... Always I will remember, with pleasure, hard work, competition and wonderful team. Is hard, is not easy! Now, I have this passion in Russia. About this, I will tell you, all the story, in another episode! To open a fine dining restaurant, first of all, understand the concept!!! You have the right service? You have the right Ingredients? Ive choose the best equipment? Restaurant fine dining requires attention to detail. From the music to the lighting, to the art on the walls, creating a fine dining atmosphere is all about the details. Fine dining, is what many people imagine, when they think of opening a new restaurant. Crisp tablecloths, violins in the background and seven course meals are few things that come to mind. But today’s fine dining has evolved into an eclectic blend of cuisines and dining concepts. If you strive to create a fine dining atmosphere at your restaurant, here are things, you should know. Fine dining servers are the best. Fine dining requires servers who have experience and knowledge of the restaurant business. It is no place for beginners. A good fine dining server should be able to explain the entire menu without using notes. He should be able to offer suggestions for wine and entrée pairings and answer any questions the customer may have. Fine dining customer service goes above and beyond. Some typical services provided in a fine dining restaurant include escorting patrons to the table, holding the chair for women, escorting patrons to the restrooms, crumbing the table in between courses and replacing linen napkins if a patron leaves the table. Menu. Carte Menu should be small....not too many positions.... Use fresh ingredients!!! Always!! Seasonality!!! Dont forget about this.... Fine dining restaurants often feature prix fixe menus. A prix fixe menu or limited menu, is one that can change on a daily or weekly basis. This is a great benefit, because a smaller, rotating menu allows you to buy seasonal items when they are at their peak of freshness, allowing your chef to exercise his or her creativity when designing dishes. Reservations are a good idea for a fine dining restaurant. Reservations allow a restaurant to space apart parties, ensuring the kitchen and wait staff are not overwhelmed during a dinner rush. In lieu of individual reservations, some fine dining restaurants offer settings, for example a five o’clock seating, seven oclock seating and nine oclock seating. Fine dining doesnt always include tablecloths. While tablecloths were once the calling card of any fine dining restaurant, that isn’t so today. If you choose to skip tablecloths (which require a huge amount of upkeep) be sure to invest in attractive and durable tabletops. Fine dining restaurants should never include paper or plastic. While skipping tablecloths is okay, substituting paper napkins in place of linen or plastic dishes in place of china is a no-no. Don’t do it. Fine dining restaurants offer top shelf liquor and spirits. Your bar should be well stocked with top of the line liquor and a good selection of wine and champagne. Your staff should know everything you offer from the bar and be able to suggest drinks with each meal. Fine dining can bring in, a lot of money. But remember: it also costs a lot of money to pay for high quality food, beverages and employees. The final question: I have the right customers??? I wish you good luck and inspiration for a new beginning!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_restaurant
