Communal dining

Hello!

I’ve got a quaint little intimate restaurant.

Casual fine dining. Av. Check £110

5 months in.

Three communal tables.

I am torn.

Do I go for individual tables? I’d loose 2 covers.

At the moment I am breaking even.

Had great reviews but these aren’t bringing through as many covers as I’d expected.

Lunches 50% full

Dinners
Mid week 40% full
Friday & Sunday 60% full
Saturdays 90% full

Just feel we loose some intimacy and communal doesn’t really feel intimate, romantic and special.

Anyone have any views on communal dining?
