    Table Etiquette &

    Fine Dining Etiquette e


    Napkin Etiquette
    At informal meals, place the napkin in
    your lap immediately upon seating.
    During formal occasions, before
    unfolding the napkin, wait for the
    hostess to remove her napkin from
    the table and unfold it in her lap.

    • Place the napkin in your lap


    upon seating.
    • When leaving the table
    temporarily, put the napkin on
    your chair.
    • At the meal's end, fold your
    napkin and place it to the left of
    your place setting.
    Handling Utensils
    • Hold your fork in your left
    hand, tines downward.
    • Hold your knife in your
    right hand, an inch or two
    above the plate.
    • Extend your index finger
    along the top of the blade.
    • Use your fork to spear and
    lift food to your mouth.
    The Table Setting
    The basic rule is: Utensils are
    placed in the order of use; that
    is, from the outside in. A
    second rule, with only a few
    exceptions, is: Forks go to the
    left of the plate, and knives
    and spoons go to the right.
    And finally, only set
    the table with utensils you will
    use. No soup; no soup spoon.
    Resting
    Continental Style: Place your
    Utensils
    knife and fork on your plate
    near the center, slightly angled
    in an inverted V and with the
    tips of the knife and fork
    pointing toward each other.
    American Style: Rest your knife
    on the top right of your plate
    (diagonally) with the fork
    nearby (tines up).
    Place the knife and fork
    parallel with the handles in the
    four o'clock position on the
    right rim of the plate.
    Seating
    Your host may have seating
    Etiquette
    arrangements in mind, so you
    should allow him to direct you
    to your seat. As the host, you
    should suggest the seating
    arrangements.
    In a restaurant, the guest of
    honor should sit in the best
    seat at the table. Usually that
    is one with the back of the
    chair to the wall. Once the
    guest of honor's seat is
    determined, the host should
    sit to her left. Other people are
    then offered seats around the
    table.
    At a formal affair, plates are removed
    by a professional staff. But as most
    Meals End
    informal meals are served without
    help, the hostess clears the plates,
    often with the help of a guest or two.
    • At a family meal, members clear
    their own plates. If the meal is
    formal, plates will be removed by
    the staff.
    • At informal meals, the hostess
    will probably clear the plates,
    possibly with one or two guests
    helping.
    • At a family meal, members clear
    their own plates.
