Which one do you prefer when you go to a restaurant? Booth or table?

Booth if we are 4 or under people, table otherwise.

Oh, and booth if I’m alone. If I’m alone, I generally want more privacy, and the booth provides this.

booth

A booth; I don’t like to have my back or my backside facing others. A booth feels more private and comfortable.

Booths are more comfy, yes. I like that cocoon-y feeling!

The booth provides a better slouching atmosphere, unless I’m eating alone, then I’d like to be at a table with a good view of the rest of the resturant.

If it is just the two of us, but the place is empty enough that we get that option: Booth!
If there are four or three of us: BOOTH!

So, basically, if we aren’t being a pain by taking a booth due to party size, I much prefer a booth. I like the added sense of privacy and security. Plus, they are more comfortable.

Booth. More intimate.

What @aprilsimnel and @bythebay said.

Surely, booth.

(Get it? Shirley Booth. Haha. I crack myself up.)

I’m the loner here who prefers a table. I hate booth seats that sink half way down to the floor. I’m short & it’s often hard to get back out of the damn things. I feel like I’m being swallowed up. Also many booth seats are too far away from the table. When I’m in a chair, I can scoot up close to the table & it’s just easier to get in & out of.

Booth.

Can I point out the idiocy of “Booth or table”? What you mean is “Booth or Chair”. You’re getting a table no matter what.

I don’t understand the fascination with booths, at my restaurant. We make fun of people constantly for it. I also hate people who think they should get to decide where they site, it sucks because they’re usually a reason the host is taking you to a certain table…because that server needs tables.
I never have a preference, unless it’s to keep my son from annoying other guests.

@MrItty: “idiocy” – testy much? I think we’re all pretty clear on what she meant.

If i’m with my babe, booth.

@MrItty No one says “booth or chair.” Not even the people that work at restaurants.

@MrItty Your technical sense of humor is showing up again. To those of us who know you, we understand. ;-)

booth

I’m going with jbfletcher here, I’m a fan of the table myself. Used to be booth, but I don’t like to be squeezed in next to someone, I like the idea of sitting around a table where we can all look at each other – just like at the dinner table at home.

Booth. The more private and quiet, the better.

Booths are more cozy and make me feel more like we have a private little space even in a seriously crowded restaurant.

@bythebay, I did not call the OP idiotic. I called the phrase – which I myself use as well – idiotic. There is a large difference.

Table. I’m too fat for booths.

Booth for one or two. Table for 3+ because I hate making someone get up so I can go to the salad bar, bathroom, whatever. Although if it’s a fifties diner I will always go for the booth. I was in one with a u-shaped booth that sat 8. That was fun.

I used to ask for a booth but- yup, me too since our baby is only 6 months we like to ask for tables now

Booths are so hit and miss for me. I’m not tall, I’m petite – some booths just don’t work for me. I either sit to low, because the seats are low or the table is too far apart from the seat.

Tables can be annoying, if someone is sitting right behind you. I don’t know why some people can’t figure out how to sit in the chair without knocking another patron in the back. I also love when someone doesn’t pull their chair closer to the table. I’m not talking about someone that needs the space, just those that don’t pull closer to the table.

I guess I’m picky! For the comfort of my family – booth. If it’s just my husband and I, table.
