French

Most French restaurants fall into the category of upscale dining. When you're paying a premium, you can get the food prepared however you like. Keep in mind the French take great pride in the taste and presentation of their food, so don't be surprised if you're met with a bit of tension when special ordering.

Most upscale restaurants request reservations, so try clearing special orders when you make the reservation. This eliminates any problems at the table, and you can have what you want without having to special order for a change.
