I do have any idea.... in fact I have one important piece of information that you lack;
I know my personal preferences and I take dining very seriously. here is what I said;
the correct response might have been along the lines of why wouldn't i enjoy a meal at either of those fine dining establishments... yeah, see that would have gotten this response;
Because it is a bit too formal for me, I prefer a much much more relaxed atmosphere when I am having a meal and both of those places, while they may serve very good food, definitely give me the impression of being a little too stuffy for my particular tastes.
if there is a dress code past 'shoes and shirt required' chances are I won't necessarily desire to eat there. Simple, you see I agree 'Nothing to do with snobbery (or reverse snobbery) just the facts jack' just the facts are that resturaunts such as the two you showed, while i have not been to those specific ones, I HAVE visited plenty of that caliber and i think they suck ass for me.
now if YOU want to dress up and spend loads of money on food, knock yourself out, doesnt mean a thing to me, but a stiff wooden chair up my ass because it matches the decor or having art on the menu detracts from the overall enjoyment of the meal when i am sitting down to eat.
The fundamental difference that I can assume here Rhetorical between you and I is that dining is an experience for you and i may be wrong. But to me it is just a means to an end, get my belly full with good eats. Alpha and Omega right there........
Here is the perfect dinner experience for me, a really good cookout with a bunch of friends, maybe tossing some horseshoes at posts or sitting around bullshitting loudly. You can enjoy that to, but for this hick i'd drive past 30 of them resturaunts to visit a really good take out.

LOL, hijacking keeps a board dynamic. That is why I start threads like this. The board was getting a little too slow for my taste and needed a shot.
There is no "correct" response, because I am sure you have not eaten in a restaurant like either of these. I have tried in many places and these two are outstanding. And very comfortable.
I do eat for pleasure not only for fuel. I drink for pleasure, not just to quench my thirst or get legless drunk.
As for sitting around bullshitting loudly with friends, that is not going out for dinner. That is entertaining at home. Not what I was discussing. Though I just had a dinner for ten potluck that was pretty amazing. No horseshoes farting or loud guffawing, but pleasant none the less.
I have dug a few pits in my life and jammed a salmon in the coals. I still like that. I just like eating so much, I expanded my horizons. It is my hobby. And fortunately I live in a good restaurant city.
However, the ribs suck here. I have to make my own.
