In my opinion, in general, yes, you should wait for all your guests to arrive, but it depends on what's being served. Some dishes can stand for a few minutes if you're waiting for late guests. Other dishes, such as soufflés, cannot.

Folks, don't put your host(ess) in this dilemma. If you're invited to dinner, be on time.
