    STYLES OF TABLE SERVICE

    American Service - This is usually called "plate service” because the food is
    already placed in the plate in the kitchen ready to be served to the
    guests. 

    French Service - French service differs from others in that all food is served from the
    gueridon; Dignified and elaborate

    Russian Service - This type of service is the same as that of French service. However,
    in Russian service, the food is fully prepared and pre-cut in the kitchen and then neatly
    arranged on silver platters by the Chef.

    Family Service- The people dining are seated at a table where the choices are placed
    on the table in bowls or platters for each person to serve themselves from.

    Table Manners in a formal restaurant.

    1. Make Good Use of Your Napkin. Place your napkin in your lap immediately upon
    sitting down. Unfold it while it is in your lap.

    2. Excusing Yourself. Simply say "excuse me, please; I'll be right back" when leaving
    for the restroom. Leaving without a word is rude.

    3. Speaking While Eating. If you have more than a few words to say, swallow your
    food, rest your fork on your plate, and speak before you resume eating.

    4. Eating Quietly. Scraping a plate or loudly chewing is unpleasant to listen to and


    considered impolite. Smacking and slurping food are major mistakes and a sign of bad
    table manners.

    5. Elbows. The "no elbows on the table" rule applies only when you are actually eating.
    When no utensils are being used, putting your elbows on the table is acceptable.
    6. Something Caught in your Teeth. When food is caught between the teeth that is
    annoying or uncomfortable, wait to remove it privately.

    7. Sneezing, Coughing, Blowing your Nose. When sneezing or coughing at the table
    is unavoidable, cover your nose or mouth with a napkin and proceed as quietly as
    possible. Except in an emergency, don't use a napkin to blow your nose. Leave the
    table and use a handkerchief instead.

    8. Dropped Utensils. If you drop a utensil, pick it up yourself if you can and let the
    waiter know you need a new one. If you cannot reach it, inform the waiter and ask for a
    replacement.
    9.  Gesturing. Do not gesture with a knife or fork in your hands.

    10. Take Small Bites. Take only enough food to chew and swallow in one easy bite.
