[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with, and abide by this with regard to price: order from the middle of the menu. I also grew up, and abide by this: as the host, you can suggest one of the most expensive things on the menu, thus opening choices up for my dining companion. This is a casual thing -- "I hear the sauce they serve with the lobster is amazing" or "Gosh, I love their porterhouse -- if you like steak, you might consider that." Or whatever.

As far as courses to order, follow the host's lead. If they order a first course, order a first course. If they suggest sharing a starter, or a dessert, share it. It's best not to be sitting there with no app when your dining companion has one, you don't want them to feel awkward about eating when you have no food in front of you. It's a little more permissible to skip dessert, though.

The worst thing you can do is be the only person at the table to order a dessert/coffee/after-dinner drink when everyone else is ready to get the heck out of there.   [/quote]
