Steakhouse dining provides a distinct gastronomic experience. With its centuries-old traditions and mouth-watering dishes, it promises a delightful evening. But a little know-how can make the experience more enjoyable – and a little more memorable. The following guide breaks down a taste of the top steakhouse etiquette tips to keep in mind before your next visit.

Dress Code Considerations

Steakhouses in Salt Lake City usually have an established dress code. Certain places may have strict dress codes involving formal clothes, while some may take a more laid-back approach. Before you show up, however, it is advisable to take a look at the restaurant’s rules to ensure that you respect their guidelines. Keep in mind that the right outfit sets the mood for the night.

Reservation Protocols

At most steakhouses, it is customary to make a reservation before you visit. It controls the guest flow and reserves your place at your preferred time. You should mention any special requests, dietary requirements, and allergies at the time of booking. Make sure you respect the staff and other patrons, and arrive on time. Always inform the restaurant if you change your plans to avoid any inconvenience to the establishment.

Understanding the Menu

Steakhouses generally provide a wide variety of cuts and preparations. Do some research on terms you will find on the menu, such as ribeye, filet mignon, or sirloin. Having an idea of what you like beforehand can make ordering easier. Another factor to consider is the cooking temperature, from rare to well done. Personalising the meal according to your taste will enhance your dining experience.

Ordering with Confidence

You must clearly state your order once the server approaches your table. Always be polite but feel free to ask any questions about the menu. The staff are often experienced and happy to help, often explaining the menu, suggesting what to order, and helping you with wine pairings. 

Wine Pairing Basics

Beef dishes usually pair well with red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. That said, this is also a very personal preference. When in doubt, ask your server or sommelier for a recommendation. They can recommend pairings that complement your meal selection and provide an enhanced taste experience.

Table Manners and Table Etiquette

Keeping an eye on your table manners goes a long way. Start by putting the napkin on your lap and using utensils from the outside in. Cut the steak with the knife in your dominant hand and use the fork in the other. Remember to chew with your mouth shut and to talk at a low volume, without shouting. Such small acts ensure a courteous ambience during dining.

Engaging in Conversation

Steakhouse visits often have a social aspect. A pleasant chat and catch-up with friends makes the meal even better. A respectful way to improve the atmosphere in general is to listen when people at the table are talking.

Handling Special Requests

If you have any dietary limitations or preferences, politely report them to the server. Steakhouses generally oblige reasonable requests such as a gluten-free option or a certain sauce on the side.

Tipping and Appreciation

Tipping is a common way to express appreciation. A regular gratuity is calculated based on 15% to 20% of the bill amount. Extraordinary service should be rewarded with a higher tip. This formal act can also convey gratitude towards staff members for their dedicated work.

Concluding the Evening

Be present at the end, once the meal is done. Settling the bill on time gives the staff enough time to get the table ready for the next guests. A review about the food and service always helps the management in serving their patrons better. In addition, this act supports the establishment and assists future diners in making a choice.

Final Thoughts

Knowledge of steakhouse etiquette improves the meals of the patrons and the servers. Each of them will add up to an unforgettable evening, from following the proper dress code to interacting with the staff. That said, following these rules allows the guests to indulge in a pleasurable meal whilst being able to understand the traditions of the steakhouse. Whether you are a seasoned steakhouse visitor or a newbie, be sure to employ these tips for a nice visit.
