First, identifying customers by race is unnecessary. If they don't want to do table numbers there are any number of ways of identifying customers that are creative.
Second, Jew when used as a prenominative modifier is almost always used in an insulting manner. "Jewish couple" might a neutral description, but "Jew couple" is an insult. It either displays very crude manners or is outright insulting.
Even if they had used the more neutral description, it's still strange that and ethnic descriptor was used, unless they intended to give differentiated treatment based on that information.
One restaurant we go to sometimes uses a small stuffed animal, which is place at the edge of the table, making the table rabbit, or tiger and so forth. Another I've seen uses the wall decorations hanging near the table.
It was at the very least rude.
