Of course, the food was outstanding but the wine pairings were pretty poor, so much so that I demanded (not requested) that the sommelier replace two entire pairings! (She had just come from Per Se, which didn't say much to me about wine service there, either, IMO.) I wasn't surprised when Daniel lost a star, naturally. That also was the final straw that allowed me to decide that I'd never again suffer discomfort for the pretense of a jacket requirement.
At Daniel I saw the big collection of loaner jackets. Some kind of club blazers with golden Buttons which I would not even wear when visiting the zoo or bring out the rubbish. I guess they wanted punish people who comes without a jacket..
P.S. Next time you should wear something like this:
Without question jackets and they didnīt specify which kind of jacket
Could also find some jacket from my grandpa which he baught in the 70ies and wore last time 2014 or so
