People look very put together at the sit down/formal/prix fixe places. It's not so much about what you are wearing (e.g. there will be, esp. the guys, people in jeans), it's how you are wearing it.
If nothing else, I'd try to pack some other shoes with you if you are planning to wear sneakers/keens. Also remember to layer! It gets cold/foggy at night and in the shade.
I don't know if this helps but really the only thing you won't see many wearing is white tennis shoes:
Standard uniform for women in the city right now out to dinner at a nicer place is dark skinny pants, loose fitting blouse or shirt, a little jacket. Or a dark colored casual fabric short dress with tights. Ballet flats, ankle booties or scary architectural shoes. Makeup understated. Hair understated. You won't see many people in shiny cocktail dresses/sequiny dresses.
Men tend to wear jeans if they trend casual or slacks with lots of layers ending with a nice jacket or sweater. And no sneakers/athletic shoes.
