1)座与进餐。
此时应听从主人的安排，如邻座是年长者或妇女，应主动协助 他们入座。取菜时，自己食盘内不要盛得太多，如遇本人不能吃或不喜欢的 菜，
服务员上菜或主人劝菜时，不要拒绝，可取少量放在盘内，并及时致谢。对不合口味的菜，切勿露出难堪的表情。吃东西时不要发出声音，要闭嘴嚼，
鱼刺、骨头、硬壳等，不要直接外吐，应用筷子取出，(西餐时，吐在叉上)然后放在骨盘内，不要放在桌上。用过的牙签等细小物品最后也都应放进食盘里面。

无论主人还是客人，都应积极参与同桌人的交谈，特别是左右邻座。 不能仅同熟人或只同一两人交谈。邻座如不相识。可先作自我介绍。
3)祝酒。
祝酒时不要交叉碰杯。在主人和主宾致辞、祝酒时，其他人应暂停进 外，停止交谈并注意倾听。碰杯时，目光要正对对方以表诚意。
另外，主人为了便于工作和进食，还常常采用自助餐的形式来招待客人，吃自助餐时应注意以下礼仪:进餐厅后，先看一圈，对菜点的摆布和服务设施有个了解，
这样取菜时可做到心中有数。每种菜点取用时都不要贪多，特别是大家都爱吃的东西更如此，宁可吃完后再取，也勿取满满一盘让人笑话，甚至吃不下造成浪费。
取菜时要有秩序，顺序排队取，不要挤在一起取菜。人多时可礼貌地在一旁等一会儿。取菜点时要依菜点 原来摆放的样子顺序取，不要在盘中翻来找去，这样既不美观，
又不礼貌。热菜、 冷食要分开放入自己盘中，切勿堆成一团。取到自己盘在的菜点，即使不爱吃，也绝不能再倒回去，可剩在盘中，放在边桌上，待服务员取走。
尽量做到吃什么取什么，吃多少取多少，不够再取，避免浪费。如不小心取多了菜点而没吃完，可待服务员收盘时道声“对不起”。
