Answer:
No, plates should be cleared as they are done with. Its very uncomfortable to sit with dirty plates in front of you.
yes
Sometimes it's really up to the waiter/waitress.
Let the dirty plates go but dont leave the person behind, or ignore them cause they are still eating.. be courteous of ppl
Yes. You should all be served each course at the same time and cleared at the same time.
That is 8 people. Often the wait staff will clear the finished dishes, so that you don't have to sit and look at the leftovers. Are 3 couples finished or just 3 people? That might affect the wait staffs decision to clear.
It is only proper to wait till the other person has finished eating, then allow the waitress take all the dishes.
if you are in a reputable dining room where they know their service rules, you plates won't be touched til all are finished. Forget about you being uncomfortable with dirty dishes in front of you, think of other person, how uncomfortable are they when you highlight the fact that they are the last ones to finish. Have paitence and respect the other dinner partner. Better yet, slow down and savory the meal the Chef hopefully worked hard to prepare for you.
no the one who is last is probably doing all the talking anyway this will give someone else a chance to talk.
Does it really matter? I don't care if anyone else's plates are cleared before mine, but I really think this is a question for Miss Manners. She has a web address and yahoo or MSN carry her.
yes. you should wait. it makes the person think you're rushing them if everyone gives their plates away. if you're trying to have a nice dinner, you dont want to feel rushed, right? they'll start to either eat faster and not enjoy their dinner because they think that you're waiting for them impatiently by giving your plates away, or they may not eat the rest of their dinner and waste money. plus, waiting for someone is polite
I would say regardless of the restaurant, I want the plates to go away as soon as I am done because I am usually wicked full!
However, I am a super slow eater and I talk too much :-) so I'm usually the one that is the last to be finished and I can tell you that (regardless of the restaurant) I couldn't care less if others have their plates removed. Heck, pack up the doggie bags and set them on the table. Doesn't bother me a bit. Why should other people have to sit and smell/look at their leftovers just because I eat slow?
yes i think that will be rude if all three are finished and let the waiter come and take the dishes from you guys the last person will rush his or her food just to be done with you guys
you dont need to, as long as you stay at the table
yes
No, the waiter should take the dishes as soon as each person is done with it.
I personally manage a small sandwich and ice cream shop our tables are very small 3 people often sit at a table with 3 baskets 3 drinks and condiment bottles it gets crowded. I clear as they finish by saying " here let me clear this out of the way so you can so you can enjoy your visit" No one ever gets mad or offended.
Let the server decide. If he or she comes to clear the finished dishes, let them clear them. If they leave them until the last member of the party is finished, don't worry about that, either. I have been in super fancy restaurants where they did it both ways.
The important thing is to be courteous to both the fast and the slow eaters. If someone is still eating their entree, and the server is asking about coffee or dessert, you should all simply say you would like more time. You don't need to be pointed, and say, "We're going to have to wait on that until Pokey-Joe here finishes his dinner," just tell them to check back with you. After the last person has finished the entree, and ONLY then, you can order coffee or desserts, or simply ask for the check, but it should not be done sooner.
And stacking dishes at the side of the table is tacky! Almost everyone I know does it, and it annoys me terribly. If you have to sit and look at the remains of your dinner, be an adult about it, and do it graciously. Don't play with what's left, and don't scrape everything and stack the plates at the edge of the table. Just enjoy the conversation, and leave your utensils sitting neatly on your plate, and leave the plate in front of you until the server comes to clear. It is acceptable, however, to hand your finished plate to the server if he or she has a hard time reaching.
I work at a fine dining establishment and as a server, we are taught that it is improper to remove the plates until all the guests are finished - otherwise it would seem as if we are trying to hurry the guest who is still eating.
The same would apply to those who dine - please wait until all are done so the one eating can enjoy their meal instead of feeling hurried as the last one.
the waiter/waitress will usually clear the dirty plates. just wait for the last person. don't ignore him/her
let the dirty dishes go and let the other person eat at their own pace. I've been in places where one person takes FOREVER while everyone else is ready for coffee or desert. Also, hw much can the waitress or waiter carry in one trip? Maybe when he/she gets back that persons stuff is ready to be collected. Also, generally the waiter will ask or make it a point to get the dirty stuff out of the way so desert menus can be handed out.
yes
Well It really doesn't matter unless you need the elbow room my friends and I double date alot and we normaly let the waiter take the fisrt that are done
Yes, I'd say you would wait till everyone's finished to clear teh table if you wanna be polite. if you don't give a toss about them, have the plates cleared, order dessert and light a cigarette or somethin....
Yes, you can let the waiter take the dishes. That is not rude it all.
Don't wait, let the waiter take the dishes.
it depends on the person eating; is the person eating at a moderate speed or that person a slow poke then you would decide what to do
Plates can always be cleared as people finish. The only rule is that you never continue to clear until only one person is left with a plate. You always clear the last 2 plates together even if one has finished before the other. Also clearing plates should never be intrusive or disrupt conversation. The best service is the services you don′t even see.
No - Plates should be cleared as diner finishes.
Go ahead and allow the waiter to remove the empty dishes but be polite and remain at the table while couple #4 finishes eating!
Its better to take dishes away as you are done with them, to remove mess and so customers dont stare at dirty plates.
