When in Germany, Do as the Germans do. In many ways, the german way of dining out is similar to that anywhere. When dining out, we usually make a reservations days before the date. Once you're seated in the restaurant, you need to order first your drinks followed by the food. Back home, for some strange reasons, we expect a glass of water to automatically appear on our table.
It is polite to have both hands above the table at all times, but elbows should not rest on the table. Germans eat everything on their plate. You should not leave a tip on the table, giving a tip is always done at the table with the waiter or waitress who served you. While burping is a sign that you enjoy your meals, for germans it is not acceptable.

I suddenly got hungry. I want to eat something, anything. :) There are so much cultural differences in dining out. It's fun to notice the little things that makes a culture unique.
