Nick Haque talks about the dining etiquette rules you need to follow

It is not every day that you get the chance to dine out, so
you might as well take advantage of it. You are hungry anyway and there is no
reason to slave in the kitchen. There are quite a few outstanding places to eat
from which you can choose, just so you know. Fine dining restaurants may not
all be the same but they do have one thing in common: they cater to upscale
clientele and provide high quality cuisine.

It is true that dining out has become more casual, yet that
does not mean that you can do what you like. It is important to behave in an
appropriate way. Individuals like Nick Haque do their best to offer first-class
delicacies and you have to be on your best behavior. Eating out is a tricky
business. Fortunately, Nick Haque will teach you how to be a polite guest.

Turn off your cell phone  

So, you want to experience contemporary
Japanese dining. As you can imagine, you are not the only one. Lots and
lots of people have a passion for Japanese cuisine, as it is incredibly
delicious and so dissimilar to what they have eaten. The amount of individuals
willing to dine out is impressive. It is not acceptable to ruin everybody
else’s meal. In this sense, it is necessary to keep your cell phone turned off.

Mobile phones should be banned from restaurants, but they
are not, regrettably. Noise ruins the hospitality. Understand that it is rude
to talk on the phone or text when you are in a fine dining establishment.
Others should be able to enjoy their meals. It is impossible to do that when
someone is having a loud conversation. Make sure that others do not lose their
appetite because of you.

Avoid talking with your mouth full

Have you ever been guilty of talking with your mouth full?
If the answer is yes, you should be ashamed of yourself. Besides the fact that
you can get food onto your listener’s face, it is downright rude. Wait before
swallowing and say what you have to say. There is no rush. And nobody wants to
see your food. Remember that you are in an exquisite place.

Know what utensils to use

Let us say that you are spending the evening at Koi. You are
keen to enjoy Western flavors and booked your reservation in advance to ensure
that your spot is guaranteed. However, when you get there, you realize that you
do not know how to use the utensils. In this case, the chopsticks. You cannot
seem to balance them on your fingers. Eating with chopsticks is not that
difficult and using them incorrectly demonstrates bad manners.

Maybe you are not dining out at a restaurant that serves
Japanese dishes. It does not matter. You have to become familiar with the
utensils. Keep in mind that it is necessary to start from the outside and work
your way to the inside. Do not use them for gesturing.
