"While there are behavior tips for restaurants from the past that are totally outdated now, there are still dining-out etiquette tips that are helpful to know..."

I made a few mistakes along the way, from not knowing dining etiquette to skipping a rest stop.

Thank you, but I'm not having dessert today. But you all go ahead.

You'll never eat a good meal in a restaurant that puts caviar on scrambled eggs. Your dining companions should have a say in what you order.

Caviar, an expensive delicacy, requires careful handling to maintain its unique flavor. Metal spoons should be avoided as they taint the taste, making mother-of-pearl spoons essential.

The caterer informed me which dishes contained dairy, but then scolded me, saying, 'If you wanted a dairy-free meal, you should have requested that in advance.'

As ice cream became a mainstay of Victorian-era desserts, the ice cream fork became a standard part of most silverware sets, highlighting the era's opulence and attention to dining etiquette.
