Either at an expensive restaurant, at an expensive club or a dinner at the Richies'. Very common in princess training or rags to riches. Played for comedy or drama. For instance, if someone is dispensing Sacred Hospitality, it will likely include a Fancy Dinner. |

In Episode 12 "Dinner" of The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, Jane, a live-in tutor, is invited to dine with Mr Rochester, his daughter Adele, and his personal assistant Grace Poole. They have a formal dinner every other Sunday together when Mr Rochester is at home. The viewers got to see just the events before dinner, so no faux pas is shown, but Jane is visibly nervous. | |

Occasionally seen in Ranma ½. The best example would be the martial arts dining arc, where the fights take place at a dining table covered with high-class foods (such as foie gras). The participants must eat as fast as possible while keeping an immaculate appearance and manners. | |

Rocketship Voyager. In contrast to an earlier scene where Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres are eating Soylent Soy and drinking illicit moonshine in the ship's messhall while strapped to the table, once Voyager is underway and they have gravity again, Captain Janeway invites Chakotay to a former dinner in the wardroom, involving white-jacketed stewards serving Martian beef and vegetables on china plates. Subverted when they later encounter the Space Pirates of the Caretaker feasting at a table laden with luxurious dinnerware, only none of it matches because it's all been plundered from throughout the galaxy. | |

Hannibal: Pre-incarceration, the Man of Wealth and Taste Hannibal Lecter frequently hosts these, both as small, private dinners for his friends and as extravagant black-tie events for the local arts scene; he's a Supreme Chef himself and also brings in caterers to assist with the larger parties. This being Hannibal, his culinary masterpieces tend to be doctored with human remains. | |

Emma: A Victorian Romance frequently has this trope due to half of the cast are members of the higher society, and nearly all of the other half are servants of those members. For example, at one point, William, Eleanor, and other nobles have a dinner party at a mansion together, enjoying delicious foods and drinks in a calm, elegant atmosphere. Then the scene cuts to the chaotic kitchen of the house where the foods are being made by the servants. | |

Discworld The cooks at Lancre Castle are traditionalists who think every meal should be a medieval banquet, preferably involving a roast pig with a baked apple in its mouth, and are frustrated first by Duke Felmet in Wyrd Sisters, who likes porridge, runny boiled eggs and vegetarian sausages, and then by Very-Nearly-Queen Magrat in Lords and Ladies, who likes quiches and raw apples. The cutlery question is invoked in Going Postal, when Moist tells Miss Dearheart that she can't stab Reacher Gilt in the middle of the poshest restaurant in Ankh-Morpork because she's using the wrong knife. The big dinner the University throws for the captains of the football teams in Unseen Academicals, which Glenda quickly realises is intended to throw these stolid working-class blokes off-balance. |

Red Dwarf: Ambitious but hopeless Rimmer was once invited to dine with officers, and the waiter brought him a cold soup. He sent it back to have it heated. Too bad he didn't know that gazpacho is served cold. Rimmer thinks this incident and his lack of upper-class upbringing stopped him from becoming an officer. The novel adds the "confused by the choice of cutlery" subtrope (among many other hideous embarrassments): |

In A Brother's Price, a fancy, only-family dinner is used as a test for whether the Whistler family can be presented as guests of the royal family without embarassment, or whether they need to be taught manners first. They easily pass, as their grandfather, Prince Alannon, had the grandmothers wrapped around his little finger, and insisted on good table manners and such. | |

Nixon in China, being an opera about Richard Nixon's historic 1972 trip to the People's Republic of China, naturally features the actual fancy Chinese banquet to which the American delegation was treated on the trip. As with any traditional Chinese banquet, this one featured lots of drinking and toasts; the Nixons presented some wordy ones, and the Chinese responded with the classic Chinese toast, "gan bei!" ("Bottoms up!"note Literally, it means "Dry [the] glass!") (Full scene from a much older production.note Actually the premiere—note that the actor playing Nixon is the same man, James Maddalena, as the 2011 performance, and has visibly aged.) | |

Northanger Abbey: Both the adaptations of the book use it when Catherine is overwhelmed by the fancy style of General Tilney who is very demanding and is very particular about his food and meal times and everything. In the 2007 adaptation, the "protagonist gets confused with knives" variety is used. Catherine confuses spoons but kind Elinor shows her which one to use. | |

The Dinner: The main events of the novel take place in a nameless restaurant that's clearly on the higher end of fine dinning. The dishes served are clearly expensive and the general atmosphere of the place is meant to make the diners feel like one of the upper crust. This is to bring a stark contrast to the actual discussion of violence and murder that the main character and his family are having. | |

Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk's second date with Vanessa, with Fisk taking the extra precaution of buying out the restaurant so that they can enjoy the evening in privacy that he greatly values, as Anatoly found out the hard way. The season 2 premiere sees Frank Castle lay waste to a large group of Kitchen Irish members sitting around a table meal of corned beef and potatos as they listen to their leader Nesbitt give a Rousing Speech about how they'll take back Hell's Kitchen from the gangs that moved in following Wilson Fisk's arrest. For their first date, Matt and Karen go to an upscale restaurant that Matt picks out. However, once there, they're both clearly uncomfortable there and unable to muster up anything more in conversation than awkward small-talk. Not helping things is when Elektra calls Matt to needle him while Karen is in the bathroom. He finally musters up the courage to tell Karen that he's not comfortable there, so she decides to take them to a cheap Indian restaurant with tacky lights, where they're both much more at ease. |

Temeraire: The protagonist is a 19th-century English aristocrat, so he frequently attends and hosts formal dinners with exquisite food, Luxurious Liquor, and distinguished guests, for purposes of both leisure and diplomacy. They're the scene of some Passive-Aggressive Kombat, of demonstrating the class divide within the Aerial Corps through their varying knowledge of formal etiquette, and, once, of winning some new allies with a truly extravagant meal. | |

Emma (2009), a BBC miniseries adaptation: During her first dinner at Hartfield, Harriet Smith has to be shown by Emma where to put a kerchief (on her lap, unlike gentlemen who tie it under their neck) and also how to eat her soup delicately. Emma is discreet and encouraging, while Harriet gives a little nervous laugh, looking slightly amused by her own ignorance. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: This trope is one of the banes of Applejack's existence. Despite her time with Aunt and Uncle Orange, she never figured out which fork to use, and the fancy meals don't hit the spot like down-home farm chow. | |

Pretty Woman: Edward takes Vivian for a formal dinner with his business rivals. She is nervous because she can only recognize a salad fork, so Mr Thomson gives her a quick lesson in eating etiquette. At the actual dinner, the old gentleman owns he can never recognize the forks either, and he picks up his bread with his hands. Vivian lets Edward order her meal, which is French gourmet food. It's slippery, and Vivian drops a swear word. Nevertheless, all are charmed by her. | |

In Get Jiro!, Jiro manages to stage False Flag Operations at a fancy dinner for both International and The Farm, framing both parties to escalate their cold war they have had going on. Jiro manages to secretly record and livestream Rose preparing and eating duck dishes at a dinner party, horrifying her vegan clientele. He then frames her husband for the act. He would later use his sushi knife to kill various International global affiliates at a special dinner, all of whom were tricked into covering their faces with cloth as part of a traditional serving of ortolan. He would then leave a message for Bob written in blood that frames The Farm as the culprits. |

Frasier: The Crane brothers love these, either hosting or attending. Niles is a member of a high society dining club where members take turns hosting and trying to outdo each other with their elaborate themes. These events rarely end well, with "Fawlty Towers" Plot ensuring that the dinner devolves into chaos, often before a single course is served. | |

Several times in Downton Abbey, shown from the perspective of the hosts (the Crawley family) and the servants. An interesting variation was the austere one held under World War I rationing. Both diners and the servants have gotten confused by the correct protocol: Matthew Crawley, a middle-class solicitor, holds his knives wrong and gets confused about utensils when he first arrives at Downton. Alfred, trained as a restaurant waiter, screws up the silver service (a kind of table service characteristic of British aristocratic homes, rather different from the way things are done at restaurants) the first time he serves as a footman. The former earned Matthew the supercilious scorn of Mary and the Countess Dowager, while the latter got Alfred an earful from Carson; both, however, become accustomed to the traditional ways over time. | |
