My dogs get some of the food I might have off of my plate, sure.
They know not to beg, and if I'm irritated that day and simply want to not have them laying at my feet, I tell them all to go lay down and they scatter, either leaving the room entirely or going to their perspective beds.
With that said, I'm careful about what I give them. Nothing high in fat or any of the known "poisonous" foods like onions/grapes/chocolate and so on.
They love it, and I enjoy sharing w/ my little ones. Just be aware of what you're feeding them and that his manners don't slack because of it and I say GO FOR IT!
