silver service
Elegant table attendance
Silver service is a formal style of table service in which waiters serve food from platters onto diners' plates using a spoon and fork held in one hand.
The term also refers to a matching set of silver tableware—teapots, trays, serving dishes—typically used for formal occasions: The hotel brought out its silver service for the banquet.
In Australian and New Zealand usage, silver service describes premium long-distance bus travel with enhanced amenities.
