You can leave clutter on the center slots. The food gets placed on the slots on the side of the table. Sometimes those center decorations, aren't even placed on the table, but on the floor and raised above the table, so they don't really impact food serving.
Even the center slot interferes if the item placed there is too large; which a few of the downloaded restaurants I had experienced. There's also a few offset slots to the side that do not interfere with serving food if, and only if, the item in those slots isn't too large. That's why I used the *debug* plates from BB to test the tables after I adjusted things. So I could keep as much of the visual appeal as possible, while still leaving things open for serving.
But yah, I had one restaurant where the tables had a lot of clutter, but the person who did it didn't use the actual slots on the table at all for most of them. So for those, it wasn't a problem.
I usually place a small vase, or the small candle in a round jar, or the restaurant menus on single tile tables and I've never had issues with food serving. But you are right, too much or too big clutter can be problematic. Also lazy or slob waiters, sometimes will leave piles of dirty dishes on your table and interfere with food serving. ?
