Casual is like pubs, coffehouses, bristos…basically there isn’t a long wait for food. Fine dining is somewhere you end up ordering a appetizer cuz ur starving and by the time your dish comes out ur full LOL!

Fine Dining – expensive, leave 20% or more tip, fancy restaurant, no jeans – men wear jackets, food & service usually better

But the differ in terms of :

Ambiance is usually cool, calm and very casual.
They attract middle income individuals so the tip is usually 10% of meal price
Meals are usually not very expensive
payment of meals is made aftr meals are consumed
Buffet style is not served at these restaurants, but meals are simple and non gourmet and fast prepared.
Minimal dress code in effect
