Is that a table for two or twelve? Gone are the days when communal tables were relegated to cafeterias, beer halls, and Benihana. Communal dining is a seating concept that has been around for a long time, but only in recent years have restaurants decided to join in the action and ask their diners to participate in collective noshing with strangers.
Though frequently found in big urban cities such as Manhattan, the communal dining style can also be experienced in downtown Salt Lake City. Pallet Bistro, right around the corner from Broadway Park Lofts, features long communal tables for patrons. This seating arrangement offers neighborly interaction and table-mates can have a shared experience with others from the community. With food flowing and people talking, an energy is created, offering a more urban atmosphere and requiring diners to break through their insecurities. Communal dining is definitely a social experiment. While not everyone may appreciate bumping elbows and overhearing conversations, others enjoy the sense of kinship.
