Atlanta ex-mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms says Capital Grille turned her away over her leggings
People responded to her post with photos and messages describing diners they claimed to have spotted at the Capital Grille wearing leggings, jogger-style pants, jeans, T-shirts, tank tops and hats.
Attempts to reach Bottoms were unsuccessful. The people answering the phone at the Perimeter Mall restaurant referred The Washington Post to a representative for the corporate office who did not return a phone call, and emails and phone calls to media contacts for parent company Darden Restaurants were not returned.Dress codes have landed other restaurants in trouble.
Critics say that dress codes can be problematic by being too specific, such as banning clothing items that are associated with particular cultures. But vaguely worded rules can also create problems, particularly leading to accusations that the codes are enforced unevenly.
