How do i eat out?

Question

in a fancy restaurant with manners?

Answer 1

put your napkin in your lap and close your mouth when chewing

Answer 2

just use good manners there is no real way to do it. the 3 pronged fork goes with your salad and the 4 prong fork goes with your meal. if there is a 2 prong fork that goes with like escargot or shrimp. napkin always in your lap and you keep it there the entire meal even after your plate is taken. chew with your mouth closed and dont talk with food in your mouth. your drinks will be on your right side and keep them there unless you are left handed which the waiter should pick up on it and rearange your place setting. say please and thank you. oh and when your completly finished with your meal you place your fork face down on top of your knife in an X form. dont sweat it that much just be nice and have good behavior. if your a guy you should always order the drinks but let the lady order her own food. let the lady take the first bite of food too. but have fun!!!

Answer 3

google "table manners" or "restaurant etiquette".

Answer 4

It is inappropriate to ask for a doggy bag when you are a guest. Save the doggy bag for informal dining situations.

It is best to order foods that can be eaten with a knife and fork. Finger foods can be messy and are best left for informal dining.

Do not order too many alcoholic beverages. Drinking too much when dining out is one of the most disliked behaviors.

Try not to smoke before dinner, it is awful smelling.

Sit up straight at the table. It makes a good impression.

When you are not eating, keep your hands on your lap or resting on the table (with wrists on the edge of the table). Elbows on the table are acceptable only between courses, not while you are eating.

Do not season your food before you have tasted it.

Never chew with your mouth open or make loud noises when you eat. Although it is possible to talk with a small piece of food in your mouth, do not talk with your mouth full.

Do not slurp soup from a spoon. Spoon the soup away from you when you take it out of the bowl and sip it from the side of the spoon. If your soup is too hot to eat, let it sit until it cools; do not blow on it.

If food gets caught between your teeth and you can't remove it with your tongue, leave the table and go to a mirror where you can remove the food from your teeth in private.

Eat rolls or bread by tearing off small bite size pieces and buttering only the piece you are preparing to eat. When ready for another piece, repeat the same process.

Engage in table conversation that is pleasant but entirely free of controversial subjects.

You should not leave the table during the meal except in an emergency. If you must go to the bathroom or if you suddenly become sick, simply excuse yourself. Later you can apologize to the host by saying that you didn't feel well.

If you need something that you cannot reach easily, politely ask the person closest to the item you need to pass it to you. For example, "After you have used them yourself, would you please pass me the salt and pepper?"

If you or someone you are dining with is left-handed, it is best for the left-handed person to sit at the left end of the table or at the head of the table. This arrangement helps ensure that everyone has adequate elbow room to eat comfortably.

If food spills off your plate, you may pick it up with a piece of your silverware and place it on the edge of your plate.

Never spit a piece of bad food or tough gristle into your napkin. Remove the food from your mouth using the same utensil it went in with.  Place the piece of food on the edge of your plate. If possible, cover it with some other food from your plate.

And of course, there are hours upon hours of literature on this subject.  If you are unsure, read a book or do extensive online research.  : )  Happy Eating.
