We were there in February with a party of 4. We had our own table. But there are some communal tables still there. Seems like a mix now. Personally, I'd rather have my own table, but I wouldn't walk out if we had to share either.
We went 2 weeks ago and I didn't really notice communal tables. The tables all seemed to be spread apart. We had our own table as a party of 5, but it also wasn't very busy at 12:30PM.
We went years ago here as a party of 4. We were at a "communal table" which meant we shared a long table for 8 with another party of 4. We smiled at each other when we sat down but other than that didn't talk to each other - didn't seem awkward or anything. Really not that different from being at a restaurant where the tables are close together.
