While reflecting upon a lot of the comments here, I remembered that many countries and cultures do not typically entertain at home. This is not generally the case here in the US. Coffee bars, night clubs and other places are probably more appropriate choices. However, any establishment that has costs associated with its existence must make enough to survive. I might suggest that if patrons are not taking the hint after being asked if they would like dessert and receiving the check that the manager, with smiling face, approach the table and ask if they would like to continue their conversation to "please move to the bar as we have customers who have been waiting for quite sometime. Thank you, so much." Remain there with friendly smile, hand on back of chair (as if to assist),other hand and arm directing the way to the bar.
