If it's just us two, across.
If we're with others in a booth, next to each other.
If we're with others at a table.....it depends. Usually, next to each other.
Across 99% of the time. However that 1% has a definite reason! It is only if we are at a sports bar watching a game, and the one side of the booth has the better view of the TV. Then we will sit next to each other.
My husband has always sat next to me in booths. I thought it was weird at first, but now I'm used to it. The only exception was Jersey Mike's, because their booths were smaller and I needed the elbow room to eat my sub.
However ,now that we have a toddler, we tend to sit across from each other and put her in a high chair on the end so we can both assist with mealtimes.
Just the the two of us in a booth, or at a small table - across
Just the two of us at a standard table - usually on adjacent sides
When out with others - it varies:
If it’s a booth with one other couple, next to each other.
It it’s booth with DS, he usually sits with me and DH with the coats.
If it’s a large table with lots of people, usually either next to or across, depending on what everyone else does, but sometimes not either one.
depends:
Family diner type place - across
nice steakhouse place that has a booth - across
Fancy place that has a banquette - we will sit next to each other on the bench part - (we both hate staring at the wall)
