diamond dash

Quebec slang related to, and an upscale form of dine and dash, where the restaurant not only has a dress code, but requires you to impress the maître D to get a table, the kind of place you have flaunt a diamond ring to get a good table to propose to your fiancée.

Yves went to the Ritz the other night and pulled off a diamond dash — he wore a tie and gave the maître D a fake engagement ring in a box to bring out with desert. He got the best table, ordered lobster for two, and pulled a diamond dash on that maître D !
