Restaurant Etiquette Planning

Reserve a table before you leave for the restaurant. This enables you to give special seating preferences such as a table in the garden or one in a quiet corner. You can ask about the dress code.

You may want to reconfirm the reservation one or two days before the dinner has been planned.

Ask your guests if they like or dislike certain ethnic foods (simply ask when extending the invitation). You could also give the guest a choice of two or three restaurants. If you're hosting a group, pick a restaurant with a wide range of foods so that everyone present will find something to his taste.

Choose a restaurant you know.

Arriving

Saying "thank you" to the attendant as they take your car.

Tip when your car is returned.

Valet

The person(s) standing behind the podium in the entryway: the maitre d', host, or hostess.

• Don't block traffic as you patiently await your turn; and • Once you're face-to-face with the maitre d', smile and say hello.

Maitre d'

A man always checks his topcoat.

A woman has the choice of taking hers to the table.

Packages, briefcases, umbrellas, and other items are usually checked.

Women take purses to the table, where they're kept in the lap or at the feet.

Coat Check

made a reservation; if you didn't, you can say "thanks anyway" and try for a better table at another restaurant.

If a group meal has an official host, it's the host's choice whether to direct guests to chairs. If the host chooses not to, guests ask where they should sit.

The better seats are those that look out on the restaurant or out a window onto scenery, not at a wall-something to keep in mind when you're hosting a meal or simply wish to give a fellow diner the better view.

At a table with a banquette, women are traditionally seated on the banquette, the men on chairs opposite them.

The host and hostess customarily sit opposite each other, and time was when couples were split up so that they would have a chance to chat with people other than their spouses. Today, seating choices depend more on the preferences of the group.

A male guest of honor – say, a relative whose birthday or retirement is being celebrated – is traditionally seated at the hostess's right; a female guest of honor, at the host's right.

The Bill

If you are the host, tell the maitre d' or waiter in advance that you should receive the check.

Discretely review the check. Signal the waiter when you would like to pay by putting the check holder to the edge of the table, with the bills or the credit card sticking out.

Tell the waiter if you would like them to keep the change.

Leftover Food

When you have food left over that you don't want to go to waste, it's usually acceptable to ask for a doggy bag – today, often a lidded container slipped into a small paper bag. When not to request one? First, at most business meals. (If you're dining with a business associate who's a close friend, it's fine to request a bag if you're going Dutch – but if she's the host, leave leftover food behind.) Second, at a wedding reception or other special function.

The first arrival should wait for the second before being seated.

When two of group arrive together, they should ask to be Tipping Etiquette seated.

• Tip on the pre-tax amount of the bill, not on the total.

Diners Arriving at Different Times

Special Dining Etiquette Situations

Dropped items. Don't pick it up. Tell the waiter who will retrieve the item and replace it.

There is one exception to this rule – for when something has fallen in the path of traffic.

Unclean flatware or glassware. Discreetly ask the waiter to replace the item. Don't try to clean it yourself or announce it to the table.

Hair in your Food. Don't eat or drink the food or beverage. Inform the waiter. If waiting for a replacement dish, ask the other guests to continue to eat.

Food on Someone's Face.

Discretely inform the person with food on their face.

Food in your Teeth. Excuse yourself and remove the item away from the table.

Ordering Etiquette

Experienced restaurant-goers know that more than a little thought goes into ordering, from choosing pre-dinner cocktails to picking the meal courses to selecting the wines served during the meal. They also know how important it is to have made up their minds by the time they let the server know he can take their orders. If you aren't ready, simply tell your server that you need more time. Holding him there as you keep changing your mind has repercussions: New arrivals at his other tables become impatient, some patrons have to wait longer to order, and the food your server is responsible for delivering to someone else must wait in the kitchen or under a heat lamp. Two other important points: • The signal that says you're ready to order is a closed menu. If you keep browsing the menu after you've decided what you want, how is the server to know?

• If those in your group want separate checks, make the request of your server at the start, even before you order a drink or appetizer. Asking for individual checks at the end of the meal slows down service for everyone in the restaurant because the server will have to spend time preparing them. Keep in mind that there's always the chance that a restaurant won't allow separate checks. If you plan to request them, find out if it's permissible by calling in advance or asking when you arrive.

main course if you know the servings to be huge. Just be sure to compensate the server with a more generous tip unless an "extra plate" fee is charged. She would have received a larger tip for two full meals, so you might want keep that in mind when calculating how much to leave.

If you aim to have a leisurely conversation during the meal, order foods that can be eaten with ease. Lobster or crab in the shell, unboned fish, and pastas that may be messy or difficult to eat could make more demands on your time and concentration than you'd like. Also think twice about ordering a food that is unfamiliar to you. Unless you know how to eat an artichoke or tackle the crab claw in a bouillabaisse, stick with a dish that poses no unexpected challenges.

Wine

Dinner wine is really a condiment for food, so it's best ordered after the menu choices have been made. The orderer (preferably the most qualified person at the table) can either choose a wine that goes best with the greater number of dishes or ask the advice of the server – or, in tonier restaurants, the wine steward (also called the sommelier or, if a woman, sommelierei. Given the wide range in character of both red and white wines, the old rule that the former should be served with meat and the latter with seafood Drinks is a little musty.
