In this regard, what is banquette style seating?
Banquette seating refers to the built-in benches often found in restaurant seating. Because you don't need room to walk behind the seating on one or more sides of the table, it enables you to fit a dining table into a space that may be too crowded with a stand-alone set of table and chairs.
Additionally, does banquette seating save space? Not only does banquette seating take up less space, but also, unlike a typical chair, you can build storage into the space under the bench. That's a double win.

How much should a table overhang a banquette?
Between 17 and 18 inches is a good floor-to-cushion top distance. Bench overhang. Whether bench support is solid or open, allow three or four inches of bench overhang at the bottom-front of the seat to prevent the heels of people's feet from banging against the bottom portion of the bench.
