A. The server first takes the used utensils from the finished course one by one from the table and places them on the plate to be cleared while it is still on the table. Once the cutlery is on the used plate the server removes it from the table. OR B. The server first lifts the plate, then picks up the used utensils and places them on the plate while holding it in the air. Thank you.

Safety should come first! But, some of what you are asking may be contingent on the customs where you are located. So, it would help to know the location of where these sort of things are taking place concerning your question of Fine Dining Proper Table Service. Thanks!

Speaking of always need to be a right or a left ...........every restaurant is choosing if the service is on the right or on the left ....I've been working in many restaurants in Florida and California and

We picked up the plate with one hand, and if there were utensils, picked them up with the other. But I've been in many restaurants that put it on the plate, then remove the plate. My mother always taught me never to stack table items - in her generation and formal upbringing, it was considered low-class to stack, scrape or pile table items in front of the guests.
