Dinner at Eight
It’s a culinary culture clash when Frasier and Niles join their father for dinner at his favorite restaurant.
Frasier and Niles decide to invite their father Martin out for an evening of fine dining at a swanky Seattle restaurant. When their reservation falls through, Martin suggests eating at his favorite spot: the rustic Timber Mill.
The brothers reluctantly agree to “slum it” at the Timber Mill. But before long, the unimpressive service, ordinary food and common atmosphere prompt Frasier and Niles to mock the restaurant and its patrons. Embarrassed by his sons’ snobby behavior, Martin storms out of the eatery, which leads Frasier and Niles to realize their mistake and give the Timber Mill a second chance.
On the home front, Niles is introduced to Martin’s helper Daphne and is immediately infatuated with her.
