Why do we set the table?
AnswerHere is what I know about setting a dinner table:Ever watch the movie Titanic?? Yep, if they do it in the movies, then you might as well do it at home; they spend a fortune researching stuff like that and hiring people!But, for everyday purposes it is best to put the napkin on the left of the plate, with the fork on top. On the right lay the knife down, blade inwards, and the spoon to the outside of the knife. I have always seen the cup or glass to the upper right of the plate. If there are any salad dishes set them either to the upper left of the plate, or on the middle of the plate.orBuy the things on the "Things You'll Need" part of the page.Place the chargers on the table, then put the plates on top of each.Fold the napkin length-wise, and loop through the ring. Place it in the middle of each plate.Place the forks on the left side of the plate. The salad fork should be toward the far left, the main course fork closer to the plate. (the salad fork is the smaller one).Place the knives and spoons on the right side. The knives should be closer to the plate, with the spoons on the far right. Make sure the sharp part of the knife is pointing toward the inside of the plate. It will go in the order of: steak (big) knife, little knife, big spoon, little spoon.Place the dessert fork above the plate and the dessert spoon above the fork. (The pointy part of the fork will be pointed toward the right, the spoon mouth will be pointed toward the left.)On the left side of the plate (above the forks), you will place the bread plate with butter knife on top, edge-to-edge.On the top right, set the two glasses.Step back. Your work is finished. You have created the Mona Lisa of Tables! haha

Where does the salad plate go when setting the table?
the i have no idea side the bread plate is placed to the right of the dinner plate, unless it is a very formal setting where the bread plate will be above the forks to the left of the dinner plate. The salad plate is always to the left of the dinner plate when not stacked on top of the dinner plate as in a formal setting.
What are the ways tableware can be laid out in formal dinner place settings?
In a formal dinner setting utensils are either on the left or right of the plate. The knives and spoons are set to the right of the plate and the forks are set to the left of the plate. If there is more than one fork like a salad fork, the salad fork will be placed further left to be used first. The same applies to a soup spoon which will be placed further right of the plate to be used first.
How far from the edge of the table do you place your plate?
There is no set rule for the placement of a dinner plate, but a good host will set a salad or bread/roll plate to the top left and a soup bowl and plate can be placed upon the top of the dinner plate if desired. A glass of water and/or wine can be placed at the top right.

Proper position for a dinner knife?
The dinner knife, or 'service knife,' in a semi-formal, or formal setting would be for the knife to be at the right of the dinner plate, with the blade facing the plate. If there is a butter plate and butter knife or 'spreader,' that knife should be on the butter plate to the left of the dinner plate, just above the cutlery on the left. The butter knife should be place with the handle facing to the right and the blade facing downwards. If there is an additional knife, such as a fish knife, etc., that knife should be to the right of the dinner knife, with the blade facing towards the dinner knife.
Where does the small bread plate go with the dinner plate?
The small bread plate goes at the 10-11 O'clock (forward and to the left) position to the dinner plate.
Why in restaurants small plate kept at left side and large plate on right side?

What utensil would be the farthest left in a typical place setting?
In a most basic setting, on the left, between the napkin and the plate would ordinarily be the fork. In a broader setting, still referred to as a 'basic' setting, there may be a salad fork to the left of the luncheon fork or dinner fork. So, as a simple setting to visualise from right to left would be: Spoon, Knife (with blade facing the plate), Plate, Fork, Napkin. Above the spoon and knife would be a water glass and above the napkin and fork might be a butter plate, with butter knife, (handle facing towards the plate, and blade facing downward).
Should a napkin be on the right or left of your plate?
