FINE DINING’S INNOVATIVE REVIVAL!
F
ine dining, simply defined, is the supreme dedication to the needs and desires of our guests. Fine dining can come in all shapes and sizes, but the one shared characteristic must be a gracious approach to service. At Savour Hospitality, we have the privilege and honor of serving so many special occasions for our guests. Whether our guests are celebrating a special occasion, hosting a business meeting or a company event, having dinner before a show, or a date night, we believe that fine dining means we are here to serve the needs of our guests and make their meal memorable. We depend on our highly trained and passionate staff to meet and exceed our guests’ expectations. Their day-in and day-out dedication to our guests is what makes a fine dining culture possible.
In 2023, our industry reported that restaurant sales were mostly positive. However, these positive trends cannot be taken for granted. We believe guests will be more discerning with their spending in 2024 and choose restaurants and bars they trust, believe in, and know will deliver a positive experience. The guest will continue to seek unique and memorable experiences. Trusted restaurants that consistently deliver an elevated dining experience will continue to thrive. Fine dining is an experience, not a just a meal. The entire visit, from the minute you arrive, must be welcoming and delightful. In all of our restaurants, we strive to create an amazing, memorable experience for each and every one of our guests. Fine dining should result in the guest feeling welcomed and having all their needs catered to. The days of fine dining
feeling fussy and intimidating are gone. Old school fine dining worried too much about which fork was placed where on a table. Contemporary fine dining is most concerned with the guests’ experience. Our clientele wants to feel at home and relaxed, yet at the same time elevated, enchanted, and catered to. This begins with the staff. Our staff must have a desire to be welcoming and anticipate their wants and needs flawlessly. Creating an experience is not simply about “wowing” a guest, although this is an important part. A true fine dining experience should include amazing food, a harmonious beverage program, and gracious service. A guest should never want something or lack anything during a fine dining meal. The revival of fine dining is centered around delighting the guest and not around antiquated etiquette “rules”.
