Food is served and dishes removed from the left at all times (unless of course the table is set in such away that you cannot reach the dishes by following this rule) There is a reason for this pattern. Glasses are placed on the right of the place setting and it is so easy to tip one over if the dishes are either set or removed from the right.

Generally, it's been acceptable to ask to meet the Chef to thank them for a wonderful meal, sometimes with a little applause, but tipping them, I'm not sure. I even googled your question. I didn't find anything saying it was unacceptable, so it's probably fine. Wow, I’ve never heard of anyone bringing out the Chef to tip them.

I've been mortified when a male member of our dinner party has done this. The cooks seemed embarrassed. thanks, Barb Is it ever correct to have the waitress go get the cook, brink him to the table and then hand him a tip?
