I completely agree with doing this and recommend it to new cooks.  People do
not hesistate to tell you if something is going wrong or they didn't like
what was served during that course.  (They are usually hungry and cranky.)
This also gives you the opportunity to fix something right then - maybe a
table missed a dish or you have extra of something and that would just hit
the spot with them.

Oh, well...back to lurking.
