restaurant booth

Padded dining alcove

A restaurant booth is a seating arrangement with high-backed benches facing each other across a fixed table, typically built against a wall or partition.

Booths offer more privacy than open tables and are often preferred for intimate conversations or family dining: We asked the hostess for a booth in the corner.

The enclosed feel makes them popular for dates and business meetings.
