Business casual dress code at a restaurant?

Question

well for my birthday next saturday im going to dinner with my friends, and we all wanted to "dress up" like in dresses and heels. the nicest place we found was called il fornaio and the dress code is business casual. would we look out of place if we wore dresses? too much?

Answer 1

Dresses and heels are never out of place as long as you aren't wearing cocktail dresses.  It's as simple as that.  

Answer 2

Your always safe to overdress at such places. You never want to underdress. In this regard, as long as you dress, you'll be fine

Answer 3

No, you won't be out of place at all, especially if your dresses are somewhat tailored and not chiffon party dresses! If there are guys involved, I'd like to see them in dress slacks or khakis with long-sleeved button-front shirts or polo shirts and loafers or dress shoes, not sneakers or sandals.
