Did a 30th bday for a female friend about 9 years ago. 8 of us suited/dressed up (for reference, she grew up in bearspaw and is in-house lawyer for an O&G). We did the omakase 8 course with premium wine pairing at Teatro, then rented a limo and drank at Cecil, Shamrock, Border Crossing, Coast Plaza hotel bar in the NE. Did not encounter any of the horror stories as described here. We maybe got looked at for being over dressed, but everyone was friendly and pleasant.
