The Mandarin Oriental specifies "smart casual" for all its outlets. ( http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/514000005.asp )

Likewise in the Island Shang only Petrus requires a jacket for dinner. ( http://www.shangri-la.com/en/propert...staurantpetrus )

OK - I'm done with web surfing - I'm sure you get the idea.
