I take off my hat at the table when dining out. It's something I learned as a kid. It's common curtsey. I'd like to add- do not put your hat on the table. Put in your lap or a prong of your chair.
On a side note: men: take off your hat when the US flag passes during a parade. It's something we all should have learned but forget to do.
