do you feel more comfortable sitting in a booth or at a table. I find myself preferring booths. Whats your take?

I always sit sideways in a booth, even by myself. Its just more comfortable, at least until the food gets there. I dont know how people sit at a table for every meal. Then again, I eat faster than anyone Ive ever seen!

Booth- it's more intimate, comfortable, and peripheral than open seating.

I'd much prefer a booth, but most of the time they have couch like seats which I can't sit on.

Booth for me too. They are more comfortable to me, plus I get the feel of more privacy as your not so in the 'open', and that also makes me feel better.

a booth, against a wall if possible, away from other patrons if possible, with low light and no obnoxious music playing if possible.
i got all of these this evening. :)
5:30 pm is a good time for calm dinner at a restaurant.

Another vote for booth. Preferably with a wall to my back and either a wall or window at one of my sides.

All the above posters must be American, since nobody mentioned there are no booths in restaurants in their country. First time I saw booths was in the USA, and loved them. It's like eating on a train, only without the movement. Beats me, however, what they are there for... I suppose it's because the US is so big that restaurants don't agonize about how to best cram as many tables as possible per square meter, unlike my tiny country.

I love booths too. Not only are the more comfie, but they isolat me from the rest of the people.

No preference really. But my family and I always opt for a booth when possible since my dad is well over 300 Ibs and could potentially break a chair.
