Table or Booth?

[Pyg Me]

Nothing can ruin a dinner at a restaurant for me quicker than being seated in a booth.

I just dont understand the booth concept. I always feel like the table is too high or too far away. I usually end up eating my meal seated at the edge of the seat just so I can reach my food.

i hate smoking sections but if the choice is a booth/non smoking or a table smoking, I'll take the smoking table every time.

Anyone else here prefer a table?

I vote for a table. With a table you are able to have the chair as close or as far away from the table as you want and not feel squished.

I vote booth. I like the privacy of the booth and the fact that you don't have to worry about people squeezing in behind you.

I vote booth. If you have a highly spirited child you can squish him up against the wall to slow him down.

Always a booth.

Booth! For the same reason as Indyman...kids are less fidgety and can't get out of their seat If I happen to be dining without my kids, I still prefer a booth, it's just more comfortable to me

 

[WishingStar]

Booth. I agree, it is much easier to have a nice dinner with children in a booth.

I prefer a booth to a table.

Booth for the child-blocking aspect and because they're usually along the walls so you have less traffic going past your table.

Most times we get a booth. DD acts up less while at a booth because I always make her sit next to me. And then DH takes care of the baby.

But there are some restaurants we know not to get a booth because the bench area is way too close to the table.

And it depends how many of us our dining. If my sister and DH's best friend come along, as they often do, then we will get a table. I do not like those extra long booths, where everyone has to get up if someone needs to take a potty break.

I'll take a no smoking booth please!!!!

My kids prefer a booth, so we get a booth. It doesn't really matter to me either way.

I just talk into the speaker and a nice person at the window hands food to me.

I love booths at restaurants, except when there's a bored child behind me poking my head and pulling my hair.

Depending on the restaurant, I usually prefer a booth. The booth seats are usually (but not always) much more comfortable than the table chairs. But really, as long as it's very far away from smoking, I don't care either way.

I usually always rather a booth...especially when it's just me and DH. But, the past couple of months I've rathered tables...my belly makes it hard to get in and out of booths.

Booth, please... and as far away from smoking as possible!!

Definetly a booth. It's just much more private that way, more relaxing. Though some booths have the benches so far from the table it is hard to get comfortable.
