The correct order of serving Western food is: starter-soup-side dish-main dish-vegetables-dessert-coffee.
When you enter a Western restaurant, you should be led to your seat by a waiter. The most appropriate way to be seated is from the left side. When the chair is pulled out, stand up straight at a distance that almost touches the table, the usher will push the chair in, and when the bend of the leg touches the chair behind you, you can sit down. Keep your elbows off the table and do not stub your toe. Do not leave the table in the middle of a meal.
If you have to leave for any reason, you should greet the guests to your left and right in a low voice. When eating, sit upright, keep your back straight and your neck long. Keep your upper arms and back against the back of the chair, and keep a fist's distance between your stomach and the table, and avoid sitting with your legs crossed.
Remember to eat with your head up, and when you bring the food in front of you to your mouth, take the food in your mouth, not bend down and take the food in your mouth.
