As much as fine dining is all about enjoying the food and the atmosphere your conduct while enjoying this goodness is vital it starts with the sitting for instance according to experts in this field if you’re just about to have a dinner date the man should always give the best seat in the

House to the lady maybe a seat with a view or one that is out of the waiter’s way the best seat in the house is reserved for the lady so the mansion positioned himself in a way where he’s watching the football game with one eye his entire focus

Should be on the person that he’s dining with as the same goes when in rome do what the romans do and so after taking position placing of the napkin comes next here the napkin should be unfolded and put on the lap the napkin by the way

Is placed on the lap so if you are a grown man or woman please do not do this this is a no-no hot towels are only for your hands therefore it is considered unsuitable for the towels to be used on the face or other parts of the body

In many restaurants you’ll probably get this served to you first bread and soup careful you’re not into the main course yet this is called a starter meant to wet your appetite this will be the first test to your dinner etiquette what you want to do

Betty is you want to break the bread you don’t want to cut it with your knife so you’re just going to break it into the number of pieces that are going to pop into your mouth and then you’re going to butter your bread on the plate

Buddy not up in the air like this soup ideally you want to take the soup away from you so the motion is away from you and then it comes up to your mouth you’re not sticking at your mouth you’re not going there should be no noise accompanying the drinking of soup Glasses that are placed on the table all have their purpose and sort of drink remember they are placed on the right upper side of the table that means the glasses on the left side belong to your sitting partner so millicent is pouring the water in the

Water glass so this is the water glass and then she will then give us the wine in our wine glasses so the red wine glass is bigger because it allows you to enjoy the bouquet it allows the red wine the air to get in so that you can fully enjoy according to

Him a witty comment after the first sip will go a long way our wine betty is to be enjoyed with all the senses so we start off first of all by looking at it so look at it against the light okay and then we’ll enjoy it without sense of smell so

Don’t put your nose all the way in they say something witty like that was a good year that’s just about the glasses and the drink the cutlery at the table can turn a potentially good evening into a disaster when you’re confronted with this array of silverware cutlery sometimes it gets people confused your

Side plate will always be on your left hand side the rule of thumb when it comes to eating is you will always start with the cutlery or silver that’s on the outside and work your way in you have your side plate over here with your butter knife which we used to butter the

Bread then you’ll have an iphone fork for your starter which is the first dish that you will have then you have your soup spoon then you will have your main knife and fork for your main meal or your entree and then you will have The dessert spoon and fork or pudding spoon and fork for your dessert or your food one thing you shouldn’t do betty is do this at the table pick your teeth even when you’re doing this i know what’s going on behind there you’re picking your teeth your teeth should be picked or cleaned

In the restroom or the bathroom the final meal is usually the dessert or pudding just in case you forgot this are the tools for the last plate now you can easily avoid those clueless moments because that is what fine dining is all about the man should take care of

The bill but take care of the bill in a discreet fashion so don’t make a big deal out of it flashing cash betty chalo how things work
