Do you put your cloth napkin on the seat of the chair or the headrest of the chair at a restaurant?

The cloth napkin should go on your lap to catch any spills. The only time you may use a cloth napkin sticking out of the top of a shirt or blouse is when a restaurant such as the Red Lobster gives you one to catch the butter drips.yeah OK...ignore that top answer, it has nothing to do with the question.John H. Remer, Jr (etiquetteguy.com) states: In a formal situation, when you are seated, you place your napkin in your lap neatly folded with the fold towards you. It does not go back on the table until the end of the meal - ever. Use the napkin for dabbing your mouth - frequently. If you need to rise from the table for any reason such as giving a toast or using the washroom, place the napkin loosely on your chair and push your chair under the table. At the end of the meal, place your napkin loosely on the left side of your place setting as you rise. Do not neatly refold the napkin, nor put it on your plate.But then I found this article from Real Simple magazine:If you leave the table during the meal, loosely fold your napkin and place it on the table to the left of your fork. While some authorities recommend putting the napkin out of sight on the chair, Nathalie Dupree, a cookbook author and the host of the PBS series Nathalie Dupree's Comfortable Entertaining, says, "Napkins are meant to get messy; there's no need to hide them." Besides, the napkin could soil the chair, which could then soil your clothing. At the end of the meal, set your napkin on the table.I think the best solution is to put it in your chair, out of sight. I would just be careful to not eat sloppily so your napkin doesn't leave anything in the chair that you might sit on.
