 •  Place all knives with the cutting edge toward the plate.
 •  Arrange flatware in order of use, working from the outside toward the plate for each course served. If salad is served after entree, place salad fork next to plate.
 •  Glass placement: from right to left, white wine, red wine, and water/iced beverage. Champagne may be placed behind red and white.
 •  A seafood/cocktail fork is always placed to the right of the soup spoon, unless served with a seafood cocktail. It may be placed on the cocktail plate.
