Place setting

Which glass is mine?

Your glasses are above and to the right of your plate. If you’re unsure, watch where the server pours, or ask.

“Excuse me, which glass is mine?”

Glass shapes and layouts vary. The drinks being served determine which glasses you’ll see.

Something went wrong

I dropped my fork. Should I pick it up?

Leave it, and quietly ask for a new one. Pick it up yourself only if someone could trip over it.

“Excuse me, I’ve dropped my fork. Could I have another one?”

Never put a dropped utensil back on the table. At a dinner at someone’s home with no staff, ask the host for a clean one.
