When meeting a man’s parents for the first time at a restaurant...what do I need to bring? Anything?
We are not “official” yet but it may be moving that way. Not sure what etiquette is here.
Just be yourself. If you normally wear jean, do so. No need to dress up just because you are going to see the parents. If they don't like the way how you like to present yourself, then you guys will eventually have problem down the road. You want to be comfortable just as much as they want to be comfortable with them. However, do be polite.

See. Nowadays, most people bury their head on their smartphone screen, so don't spend 1 second on the smartphone screen while you are meeting the parents. We are losing it due to the innovation of technology because we cannot keep up with our morality.
LOL! The board wouldn't let me rep you, but I had to laugh. Good point, nonetheless.
Dress according to the restaurant. If you know where it is you can call if you aren't sure. Depending on how it goes, you could offer to pay for you and your GF, or treat for dessert or whatever, to impress Dad. He might not let you, but he will appreciate the attempt usually.
Other than that, be clean, be polite, and try to enjoy the company.
I’ll be sure to do that. After all, I am a woman so expect all my bills to be paid by my man.
Lol.
