• Always place the napkins either on your neck or on your lap that is kept on the restaurant tables. Don’t bother to feed your clothes the delicious food. Once you are done relishing the food don’t use the same napkin to wipe your face or other stuff on the restaurant table. Once finished with the food, keep the cloth semi-folded on the side of your plate instead of keeping it on it. 
• Keep your patience levels high when ordering and sitting in a restaurant. Also, don’t rush to stuff your mouth with a different kind of food at the same time. Don’t talk while chewing. The other person will happily wait for you to gulp-in your food in order to start the conversation again.

• If by mistake you’ve dropped some food either on the restaurant table or elsewhere, don’t try and pick it yourself. Ask the server or wait until he/she cleans or picks it. Also, don’t make an attempt to clean the table where the food was dropped.
