Looking expectantly at the glass, mopping perspiration from my brow, licking my lips? A hard, grinning stare directly at the server? Eyes downcast, my hands lying dejectedly in my lap?

A combination of all of the above except for staring at the person serving your drink. I would recommend keeping licking your lips to a minimum unless you are trying to flirt with them.

Another completely valid option is, glance and smile to whoever else is having dinner with you, if you didn't go alone.

Hmm, or maybe I could try glancing and smiling to my invisible dinner companions.
