This type of service takes a longer period of time to prepare and is associated with high-end dining where there is a limited amount of tables, creating an intimate dining-room atmosphere. The tableside service adds an element of showmanship which can be very impressive. Guests enjoy this element of French service and are willing to pay the higher prices to experience this show. Some fine-dining restaurants serve certain menu items from a cart, such as a Caesar salad or flamed desserts such as cherries jubilee.
