When you think of a fine dining (or posh) restaurant, the idea probably conjures up certain imagery.
Michelin stars, linen tablecloths, crystalware, discrete-(yet attentive) waiting staff and maybe even a smattering of minor celebrities.
Of course, no matter how fancy and luxe a restaurant may appear to be, there's no telling what goes on behind the scenes - or just in day to day to life.
Because let's face it, so many 'fine dining' restaurants are so prohibitively expensive, they're not the sort of eating establishment you pop in to on a whim.
One host and sommelier wants to give an accurate portrayal of a fine dining restaurant, and so opened himself up to other users' questions on Reddit , saying:
"There are plenty of misconceptions, prejudice and simple misinformation about restaurants, from Michelin stars, to celebrity treatment to pricing."
And here's his five star insight into what goes on in a fancy dining establishment
1. To give you some idea of what's the restaurant like
When asked what the most money a table of four have spent, talkersmakemethirsty, revealed this was $5000.
2. The clientele
The restaurant worker had plenty of stories about some of the more eccentric customers.
"Guest rolled up in his wheel chair to a table, pulled out his two pistols, set them on the table and proceeded to order an iced tea.
"He wasn't threatening, he wasn't doing anything but pretending putting two guns on a table on a Friday night was a totally normal thing.
"It was surreal.
"Also, I had a lady very clearly throw up into her purse next to her, close the purse and proceed with her meal like she didn't just do exactly that."
