Dress sharp, but not flashy. Think smart casual – a nice shirt, well-fitting pants, maybe a blazer if you're feeling it. Skip the logo tees and anything overtly branded. Don't worry about being perfectly on-trend; just look presentable. They're more concerned with overall attitude than specific labels. Order something from the regular menu, avoid anything that screams "expensive show-off." And engage in polite conversation; most people are there to enjoy the atmosphere, not to judge. A simple "This wine is lovely" or "I'm enjoying the ambience" goes a long way. Relax and enjoy the food – that’s what really matters. You’ll be fine.

Enjoy the view! It's incredible.

Oh, good to know! Thanks for the heads-up. Drone photo shoots... wow, some people, huh? I figured it'd be pretty relaxed, but it's always good to get a firsthand account. Definitely won't be sneaking in a cooler – wouldn't want to cause any trouble. Excited for the view now, even more so!
