perhaps i should have asked it that way to begin with.
Hmm? You mean, asked if I wanted to go to a poncy restaurant to eat food? That is exactly how I interpreted it to begin with; the only thing I failed to grasp was the connection between poncy restaurants and dressing up, because it has been years since I have had to dress up to go to a restaurant.
what would you consider "another purpose" to go?
To a restaurant which requires dressing up? Some occasion for which I would dress up anyway: a rare visit to extended family, or a wedding or other "serious" special occasion, e.g..
if i said "let's go eat extremely poncy food at this place that has no dress code", would that appeal to you instead?
Yeah, of course. (Modulo subtleties in the meaning of "dress code" of course -- but as long as it is a place where I could wear shorts and a t-shirt without risking being kicked out or seriously sneered at, definitely.)
