Do you see how incredibly awkward it is to have that stack of plates. Put a linen square on the table and serve and remove each course on the linen alone. Never stack plates and never use a charger. Clatter clatter slipping fingers and hard to pick up stacked plates.

What if I'm the host am I going to be the one to refill every time they are done and Bring them food every time they are done with a course?

Manners also matter how you treat others in your community. Not just in your home .

This is so helpful. Thank you so much.

What brand is the flatware/cutlery?

Beautiful presentation. I do wonder, however, about the placement of the dinner fork and coffee spoon at the end. Since you work from the outside end, shouldn’t the coffee spoon be next to the dessert plate and the dessert fork on the other side of the spoon? Also, I couldn’t help but notice the napkin never moved. Was there an additional napkin used or was the guest intimidated by the neatly folded napkin and didn’t want to dirty it up? 😂

Great video ❤

PERFECT VIDEO!

This is a jumbled mess. There is no clear instruction as to how the table is laid, or how the setting is used . We are not sure who this person is, but please do not take this video as anything but an exercise in her vanity. There is nothing useful here, and in fact much incorrect information is presented. If you are invited to a formal dinner, this would never happen. And the table would be quite different than what is presented here.

The left-right rules are all wrong. So often, you *CANNOT* reach the guest's left or right side, sometimes neither side. What would you do?

Very much enjoyed this video, I wish every host/hostess would spend this amount of time and put this level of attention into hosting a dinner. However, in terms of formality and rules ( there are no rules if you want to) this is not how it's done in Michelin star restaurants.

Great video, thank you!

nice

Bless up

I have a couple of comments. At 2:05 the dessert fork and spoon have been moved to the incorrect position. And, I don't bleieve you are to pick up the dessert knife and spoon but slide them to the correct side of the plate, fork on left, spoon on right. Also, are you going to leave me a dirty dessert spoon with which to stir my coffee?

Thank you so much for this video! I just got hired to work for a retired, disabled Senator. I want to be an Estate Manager and need a lot of training, but he is so laid back that I don't think he cares, but when he entertains, I would love for his guest to be impressed that he has a good servant. I am so grateful for this job. Being an Investigator for the Public Defenders office has become such a drag that I want a whole new career. This is truly a gift for which I am most grateful.

Thank you SO MUCH! We live in a 21st century world with NO manners, NO taste and NO appreciation of the FINER things in life. I LOVE to formally entertain with dinners and cocktail parties. Unfortunately, most Americans prefer “hot-dogs” & “beer”. Hopefully, fine dining and entertaining will make a comeback - probably centuries after I’m gone.

I want to get into a deep theological conversation with my butler when I go on a cruise next week. Will they be able to?

In Europe, you serve the main course on the charger which is removed after and before dessert. Dessert cutlery is placed differently as well. There is a spoon and a fork but not a spoon for the tea.

You answered all of my questions, except one... if the soup bowl is already at the table, how do you bring in the soup? Do you remove the bowl then bring the soup in another bowl? What if you don't have enough bowls to switch out if it is a home dinner?
