Monica,

You are not exactly correct in your explanation. A kosher *meat*
restaurant will not have any milk on the premises. However, there are
many restaurants which have a kosher certification for *dairy*. These
restaurants will not have any meat on the premises. There are a very few
kosher restaurants which have certification for both meat and dairy. In
order to get this certification, everything from food to plates,
tableclothes and even seating arrangements must be kept separate for the
milk and meat sides. I would have no problem eating in a place like
that. It's really like two separate restaurants on one premises.

Hope this helps.
