Or do you even have a preference?

Not fussed. I usually only go out to eat with Night Fury and if anything I actually kinda feel uncomfortable if the two of us are taking up an entire booth. But I will sit wherever they put me.

Booths are preferable, but like Pheesh, if there's just me and Mr. Carny, taking a booth does make us a tad conspicuous. A table is fine, but if given the choice I'd go for a booth.

Don't really care. As long as I can sit and enjoy my meal.

As long as it's quiet, I don't feel guilty taking up an entire booth between two of us.

The 'tables for two' at some restaurants can be a little too close. Almost like you're having dinner with the couple on the table next to you as well.

If it's a crowded restuaraunt then a booth, I dont like having to scooch my seat in whenever someone walks behind me
If there's plenty of room then a table is better so people don't have to shift to let people in/out

(George is at the coffee shop with his parents)
GEORGE: So, uh, Mom, Dad, I was hoping that you could help me to remember my childhood a little clearly..
ESTELLE: I feel a draft. (Grabs the bread basket and her drink) Let's change tables.
FRANK: Get outta here! We have a booth.
ESTELLE: Frank, I'm cold!
FRANK: Order a hot dish.
ESTELLE: Why can't we sit over there? (Points to a table)
FRANK: (Yelling) That's not a booth!
ESTELLE: (Trying to match Frank's loudness) So, who says we have to sit in a booth?!
FRANK: (Loud shouting) I didn't take the subway all the way to New York to sit at a table like that! (Gestures to the table)
ESTELLE: (Nagging yell) Well, I didn't take the subway to be in a drafty restaurant!
(A moment passes)
GEORGE: (Pleading for them to stop) Mom.. dad.

Booths usually have better seats and more room so obviously booths.

I don't even care about looking conspicuous. Always booth!

Yeah, this as well. This is why Wagamama really annoys me. I'm eating on a bench. I'm next to someone else. What is this, a school cafeteria? Gimme some privacy!

I usually don't care because of you state a preference you might get stuck in a section with a server who's busy.

Booths make me feel locked in. I don't like that. I have the freedom to get up whenever I want from a table. You know, just in case I have to run off or start a fight or catch a pretty fainting damsel in distress.

This is the only downside with booths. Especially if you're sat furthest from the aisle, and you need to go to the bathroom. Cue awkward 'could you move?' situations while the person next to you has to get up for you.

I hate this situation. I'm too polite to say anything though so I inevitably just hold it until I burst and die.

Going into a restaurant could literally be a life or death situation each time.

Agreed, that is a lame situation. In a group which is any larger than me and Formy, I would prefer a table. But, if there's only two of you, then there's no problem. :)

Eh. When you gotta go, you gotta go. They can get their happy ass out of the way. I'd move for them. :shrug:

I prefer a table, because then I'm not forced into only exiting one way.

Also, you know, Chairs are more comfortable than booths unless I get a whole booth side to myself and can prop my feet up.

According to a guy at work, if two guys get a booth, regardless as to the logistics of it, gaaaaay.

A booth, its comfy and I can hide myself away.

And Laddy, its the same kind of dude who would love it if two women shared a booth.

Its hard, putting up with peoples sucky attitudes at work. But anyway.....food and resteraunts. I plan to sit in a booth with Ayen someday, see how that goes down. I will probably be passing notes to him under the table or something. In our case it will be my pathological fear of guns.

Table. Booths are confining and usually uncomfortable.

Tables offer actual control over seat placement. You're also not confined in a pokey wee box. For me, it's usually a table.

That said, a well-designed booth can be just the ticket for a secluded and friendly atmosphere sometimes.

I'm not picky, but I don't really like tables for 2- they're too small.

When Parker was a baby up until she was like 5, booths were necessary tho

Booth. They're more comfortable to me.
