Worst Table in New York : Porter House in the Time Warner Center?

Porter House, on the third floor of the Time Warner Center, is a highly regarded, premium steakhouse with floor to ceiling windows overlooking 59th St. and Columbus Circle. Why then do they have a single table outside of the restaurant in a vacant corner of the TWC mall?

Is this for real? Do people actually sit here and eat big steak dinners? Is this the table where they seat patrons that they want to embarrass? If it is not for real, then what is it for -- to show prospective patrons what the table settings look like if they choose to eat there?
