Basic Table And Dining Out Etiquette

Outdoor dining and table etiquette is very important if you want to impress your guests during dining

. Especially if you are someone who meets clients often, you must master some of the basic table manners. Now, let me share with you some rules that are specific to outdoor dining:

1.Choosing the right location. If you are meeting a client, you should bring him or her to a restaurant. You should be familiar with the types of food that the restaurant serves and be prepared to give recommendations to your guests. One way is to familiarize yourself with the menus before the meals.

2.Serving food. When you are at the table, always remember to serve food from the left to the right. This is the most basic table etiquette. Also, you should not reach across the table for food. If you want to have the food across the table, you should ask politely for it to be handed to you. When you are helping yourself to chips or other food from a community plate, you should only touch what you will take and nothing else.

3.Basic manner when eating finger food. Most finger foods are meant to be eaten with fingers, so go ahead as long as it is widely acceptable. Only use your fingers for finger foods such as chips, hot dogs, olives, etc. Other foods that are meant to be eaten with utensils should be eaten that way. When you use your fingers for food, always make sure that you have a napkin ready to clean your fingers. Never ever lick your fingers to clean them as it is a great turn off. Last but not least, you should not talk when your mouth is full.

4.After the meal. If you are not eating at a restaurant, you should clear your own plates and utensils once you are finished with the meal. If you have something stuck between your teeth, you should cover your mouth with your hands and use a toothpick to remove the food. If it is too uncomfortable, you should excuse yourself from the table. Proper table etiquette requires you to ask the host or parent if you can be excused from the dining table.

Last but not least, if you are the host of the dinner, you should take care of everything, from the bills to the tips. Your objective is to make the meal goes as smoothly as possible.
