Abstract
A prior art type of restaurant seating includes a longitudinal row of laterally extending consecutive seating stations delineated by and individually accessible from parallel longitudinal aisles. The invention herein discloses means for additionally employing such prior art restaurant seating in a condition where an individual seating station might be temporarily converted into a pair of laterally shorter seating zones to accommodate two small dining groups in a private and aesthetic setting. The convertible restaurant seating includes an upright partition extending medially longitudinally through the row of seating stations, the partition having a view-way in lateral registry with each consecutive dining table and which view-way can be temporarily closed-off with apt closure means.
