Comments on: Dinner Etiquette Lessons – Which Wine Glass is Yours? http://blog.suitupp.com/2010/03/03/dinner-etiquette-lessons-which-wine-glass-is-yours/ High Fashion Tips for Men Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:03:17 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Thomas http://blog.suitupp.com/2010/03/03/dinner-etiquette-lessons-which-wine-glass-is-yours/comment-page-1/#comment-629 Thomas Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:02:15 +0000 http://blog.suitupp.com/?p=753#comment-629 As a former food and beverage manager/director in numerous high-end restaurants and hotels, I would say as a VERY general guideline this post is accurate, but as Melito stated, etiquette and table-settings will change depending on the situation, location, country, and menu. When in doubt, observe the host/ess and do what s/he does. Additionally, one should NEVER place a napkin on a chair or hang it over the back of a chair when leaving a table. First, it is unsightly. Second, many people get distracted when sitting down again and forget to pick up the napkin. Third, there is a risk of getting the chair dirty and then sitting in it, or disrupting the dinner by replacing the dirty chair. When leaving the table, one should place the napkin to the left of the plate. No mess. No fuss.
