Why eat this way? You can't hear anything. You can't converse with more than two or three friends that are closest to you. Large groups dining like this are just an invitation to dining disaster.

Restaurants here should have special limited menus for groups of 8 or more.
So true. It's not even enjoyable to dine in big groups where you can't hear anybody who's not seated directly beside or across from you.

Large groups are what banquet facilities and banquet servers scheduled specifically for the occasion are for.
