Dining Etiquette - What to Do When We Are Finished A Meal?


When we are finished our meal, place your utensils side by side (parallel parked) in the 4 o'clock position.  The knife blade faces the plate, and the fork tines can be up or down.

  2. Hi there!!!

    This position actually decreases the chance that the utensils could fall down when the plate is removed by the wait staff!!!!
