It depends on the restaurant. I don't know the etiquette for a very formal restaurant but, If you are going to somewhere to sit down and eat a meal there are some things that you should always do.
1. Never have your elbows on the table.
2. Place your napkin on your lap.
3. Don't lick your fingers.
4. If your phone rings either excuse yourself or ignore it.

What is proper etiquette regarding the customer moving his empty plate aside when finished prior to the waiter removing it?
In regular restaurants it is etiquette if the customer chooses to put their knife and fork side by side and move their plate to the right in order for the waiter or waitress to see it and pick it up. In higher end restaurants it is not etiquette to move your own plate, but place the knife and fork across the plate so the waiter or waitress can see that you are finished eating and should quickly take your plate away.
