1. Unfold Your Napkin and Place It on Your Lap as Soon as You’re Seated
The first step in setting a refined dining tone is to unfold your napkin and place it on your lap immediately after being seated. This classic gesture signals your readiness to enjoy the meal with sophistication and care. At M and D Suites, where every detail counts, this small act sets the stage for a graceful dining experience.
2. Put Your Phone on Silent Mode to Avoid Distractions and Keep the Conversation Flowing
In today’s connected world, it’s easy to get distracted by constant notifications. At our hotel, we encourage guests to switch their phones to silent mode. This ensures you remain present, fully engaged with your dining companions, and immersed in the luxurious ambiance of our dining space. Keeping distractions at bay not only enhances your meal but also contributes to a serene, conversational atmosphere.
3. Use Your Napkin to Keep Those Hands Clean and Tidy
Your napkin is more than just a piece of cloth—it’s an essential tool in maintaining impeccable table manners. Use it discreetly to dab away any spills or crumbs during your meal. This habit not only preserves your appearance but also reflects your attention to detail and respect for the dining environment. At M and D Suites, we value every element of sophistication, including a clean and tidy dining presentation.
4. Don’t Double Dip – Be Considerate of Your Fellow Diners
Etiquette is as much about enjoying your meal as it is about respecting others. Avoid double dipping, which can spread germs and disrupt the shared dining experience. By taking care with your condiments and dips, you demonstrate thoughtfulness and consideration for your fellow diners—values we uphold at our fine dining establishment.
5. Wait Until Everyone Is Served Before Taking Your First Bite
Patience is a virtue in the world of fine dining. At M and D Suites, we believe that waiting until all guests are served before taking your first bite fosters a sense of unity and respect. This collective start not only enhances the communal dining experience but also sets a standard of courtesy that is at the heart of our service.
6. Keep Your Elbows Off the Table and Engage in Pleasant Conversation
Maintaining a proper posture while dining is a subtle but powerful display of elegance. Keeping your elbows off the table not only ensures a neat appearance but also demonstrates your attentiveness to dining etiquette. Coupled with engaging in pleasant, refined conversation, this practice contributes to the overall sophisticated ambiance of our restaurant.
7. Always Extend Courtesy to Our Dedicated Staff
Our team at M and D Suites is committed to providing a flawless dining experience. A simple “please” and “thank you” goes a long way in acknowledging their hard work and dedication.
