I haven't eaten in the North End very often, but I do remember going to a place there several years ago. Our entrees were delivered to the table halfway through our appetizers and the check came along with dessert. We certainly felt like we were being pushed to leave as soon as possible.
On the other hand, my wife and I ate at a place in White River Junction one time when we were passing through. We were walk ins and the hostess told us the had a table available now, but it had a reservation in 1 hour. We gladly accepted the offer, put in drinks and apps as soon as our server came over, ordered entrees the next time she walked by, skipped desert, and were off the table in 45 minutes.
Like the poster above says, either approach is ok - it would just be nice to know about it up front.
