Where Do I Place My Napkin?

When you sit down at a dinner table, you should place your napkin in your lap. Don't wait until the food is served.

If you leave the table during the meal, gently fold your napkin and place it in the seat of your chair. This will signal to the waiter that you have not finished your meal. Some people place the napkin on the back of their chairs when they leave the table, but I don't like this practise because the napkin often falls on the floor or looks unsightly.

When you are finished with the meal, leave the napkin on your lap. Do not place it on the table or drape it over your plate. The napkin should remain on your lap until you are ready to leave the table.
