restaurants these days seem quite noisy and hard for those with hearing aids/impairmens to have good conversations I find you have to sit next to the person to really talk to them (depending on how big the table is). At the Lords supper there were 12 and they were reclining on couches its not like its depicted in the painting of the Last supper with everyone on one side of a really long table.
I think smaller round tables of 2 or 3 are better than one huge big table, though large round tables are the norm for chinese restaurants and sharing food instead of individual plates (and less waste) I once took a work team to a yum cha restaurant and they loved it was a bit different to how they would normally eat.
Table manners and customs can be different everywhere you go, but people are just used to fast food now.
I always feel awkward being hungry, or not being able to finish something Ive ordered, or maybe being admonished for the way I eat. I imagine its like how being left handed is also annoying for some people.
Street food is different again, delicious, but you walk along carrying all your food on a tray and have to find somewhere to sit. What if theres nowhere to sit and all seats are taken? What then.
sometimes its just easier to eat by myself. Ive learned to survive that way rather than keep lunch dates when my lunch times are different to everyone else. Its nice to share meals but it sometimes can be awkward. If your friend talks with their mouth full of food or wants to smoke or wants you to have food that you cant eat or mocks you for the food you do eat then what?
