In this video on the YouTube Food Channel, consumers will see the basics of dining and selecting a fine dining restaurant. Fine dining offers specialized services, a unique atmosphere, a focused menu, and an experienced wait staff.
When looking for a fine dining restaurant, visit their website, look at the menu dress code, and read some reviews to see what customers think. Ask family, coworkers, or friends for recommendations.
This can help in locating the right restaurant for guests.
Fine dining restaurants require reservations. When customers arrive, the maître d’ will check the reservations and take the customers to their table. The waiter or captain will bring the menu and make suggestions for ordering food and drinks.
Fine dining menus have ala carte entrées sold separately and grand prix menus with several courses for a set price. After you have ordered, a sommelier will be sent to the table to suggest wine to go with the different courses. The table will be set with several plates, glasses, and cutlery.
Before going to the restaurant, read up on table etiquette for using specialized tableware and proper manners. Check the dress code to be sure to wear the proper attire. Don’t forget to leave a tip after the meal is finished.
