At one lakeside restuarant, after sitting and chatting for an hour after we ate, the manager offered to buy us a drink in the bar, so they could clear the table for the next guests. We were winding down by then and so we just left.
In Italy once, a coworker and I tried to leave a restaurant after dinner, and a few drinks, almost two hours total. We were scolded by the managment, when you eat there, you have the table for the whole evening.
