I could write a long diatribe on this, but I will try to keep it to a few simple points: -Ringtones should be off in resteraunts, everyone has vibrate mode, use it -In a one-on-one dinner situation you should not be checking your phone unless it is vitally important. -If you do need to take a call rather then sit at the table and force everyone around to hear you, politely excuse yourself and find a quite area to complete your call. -Large group situations are somewhat different, as many people tend to be arranging with others to come meet here, or meet at the next place, so texting is no big deal, I would still prefer if people avoided extended conversation on the phone in this context however.
