Slightly off topic--restaurants

[wondersofwine]

What are the "classy" touches you appreciate in your favorite restaurant or any restaurant you might visit?
Some examples:
A German hotel restaurant where when we rose from the table, a maitre d' or waitperson hastened over to help the ladies get into their winter coats.
At St. Jacques Restaurant in Raleigh, if you come in wearing a black suit or black dress, the waitperson provides you with a black linen napkin instead of the normal white lines so that you won't get white lint on your clothes.
At a fancy restaurant in Strausbourg near the Cathedral we arrived unfashionably early for dinner and watched the waitstaff polish the crystal over a flame.
If I am considering two different wines by the glass and I'm not familiar with them, several restaurants in Raleigh (or DC)allow me to have a few sips of each before choosing one.
Any one care to chime in?
