This thread seems to be more about whether the credit card leaves your sight or not.
In terms of paying at the table, I find it much more comfortable than paying the bill at a cashier near the door.
If I'm hosting an important business dinner and wish to make a good impression, I'll discretely leave the table to settle the bill or even arrange this in advance with the restaurant, and expect them to get it right or else.
