How long will you wait to get seated at a restaurant?

I’ve done it myself, the overstay is not done on purpose it’s mostly due because of good conversation meeting with friends and family.

same for places in Italy. You do pay extra to sit outside. But there is usually plenty of room inside

15-20 minutes

No longer than 30ish minutes unless there is a bar where you can wait.

After we had been seated we waited 45mins, then got up and left.

That was long enough.

15 minutes if I'm with someone. I won't wait if alone.

30 minutes tops.

45 mins for outside seating with music. An hour seems so much longer then 45 mins. LOL If it`s indoor dining, no more then 20 mins.

30 mins but we'll be at the bar having a beverage. Sometimes we just decide to eat at the bar
